At Brigham City, Burned at Loss Of ho . Tremonton Wins First Place in Road stf ill r it (Editorial) the time of the year approaches when the harvest has all been AS and a retrospect can be had of the year about to close, the people of the Bear River Valley, as we view it, can on Thursday, November 24th, be thankful. This day, that has been set apart and observed with few exceptions, by at least some states for three hundred and twelve years, is the day in which our thanks and gratitude unto the Great Creator should be rendered. The people who are fortunate enough to be nestled in the great Bear River Valley, where good lands, abundant water and plenty of sunshine dwell, are indeed a blessed people. Everyone is at peace with his neighbors, dwelling in a spirit of cooperation and helpfulness, with a kindly feeling for the poor and unfortunate, which are few in comparison with other places. We should take time to look about us and compare our lot with those in other parts of the state, in congested cities, where thousands are without work and in want; in other parts of the United States and throughout the world, where revolution and chaos, where destructive rains, winds, hurricanes and other destructive agencies exist, to the extent that many lives have been lost and thousands have been made- - homeless and destitute. When the facts are thoroughly considered, the Bear River Valley is far above the average condition. The lands have yielded abundantly and, tho effected by price reductions in all commodities, there is as yet nothing to become alarmed about. So we gather about our family circle and surround the table spread with the bounties of life let us not forget the Giver of all good and render unto Him the thanks and gratitude of our hearts for all that we enjoy our peaceful homes, nestled in this beautiful valley, our friends and loved ones and for the peace with which we are blessed. 'For the earth and the fullness thereof is the Lord's". That which we have and enjoy he has endowed us with. Praise Him with Thanksgiving that our hearts may be glad this day. THOS. V.SUMMERS Mr NUMBER ELEVEN Besides having all but one of the regular team back this year, the 'M Men also have several new prospects who have shown up in practice, Five of these Reed Harris, Iceland Harris, Elmer Peterson, Gene Bjorn, and Wes Gephart will either oust the regulars or make them work in order to keep their positions. In the past year the people of the Tremonton ward have not supported their team, but if they will buy a family ticket, which is only one dollar for all home games, they will be well satisfied. So everyone buy a ticket and support the 'M' Men team this year so we can have a winning basketball team. V44V 1 , ! j Z "" ps v AUWWW j j ! TREMONTON !
