In that sense, perhaps we all are pilgrims Or should be. Unlike most of the other settlements in America, the Pilgrim colony was free from all laws of the Old World. They had no royal grant or charter, as did the Puritans in New England, the Catholics in Maryland, the Quakers in Pennsylvania, or the Church of England men in Virginia. The Pilgrims had to create their own government for themselves. No dictator made them try a communistic scheme. They were free to govern themselves and they made the most of it. Kay nelson gVen beore the Mayflower landed at Ply mouth Rock, the Pilgrims knew' they must have some kind ot government in order to avoid the dangers of anarchy or a dictator. Therefore, they all signed a compact agreeing to submit to such government and governors as they should by common consent agree to make and choose. This agreement created the first free government in the New Wot Id and later bceame accepted as typically American in its logic and the Pilgrims character. THANKSGIVING DAY IS a precious time for most Americans. Its one of the days which havent yet been prostituted by commercialism. To be sure, a lot Of groceries are moved during the week. But thats all right; the day is one of feasting, of happy reunions, of moments when prayers are offered and solemn thanksgiving observed. of gifts Its quite peculiar that someone hasn't promoted giving on Thanksgiving looking toward the commercial aspects of course. But then thats another thing for which to be thankful.

Soma historians say the festivities lasted for three days. Others say a week, WITH A GOOD harvest in the fall of 1621, Gov. William Bradford called for a Day of Festival but without mentioning thanksgiving. According to the historian, H. S. J. Sickel, the day expanded spontaneously into a week of feasting and revelry, not religious in char- acter. The Ten Pl'grims were able to sit down to a real feast ON THE MENU were, turkeys, ducks, geese, venison, lobster, eels, clams, oysters and fish For beverages they had the Pilgrim's first wine, made from New England grapes, and beer, which has been described as the Pilgrims' almost They had, universay beverage. in fact, brought beer with them on the Mayflower. John Alden, who later married Priscilla, was brought along as a barrelmaker. The Indians taught the Pilgrims to fake popcorn balls by shaking the corn over a fire In earthern jars and then pouring maple syup6 over the popped kernels. After a couple of days the festivities took on some of the aspects of a Fourth of July celebration, what with Captain Miles Standish marching his soldiers up and down firing black volleys to the amazement of the Indians. followed OTHER FESTIVALS in later years and the Idea spread through other colonies, but all were celebrations of an informal nature.

He's Asked To Name PETER NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON The develop- ment ot atomic power by private entei prise for industrial and commercial use presents the new President and the new Congress with a problem just as explosive as the or themselves. The reason is that the present atomic energy law makes a flat prohibition against private ownership of facilities for producing fissionable materials. When this law, fathered by the late Sen. Brien McMahon of Connecticut, was passed in 1946, the big idea in Congress was to give the U. S. government a complete monopoly on atomic energy. This was to apply to the raw materials that went into manufacture of uranium and plutonium, tne fissionable materials themselves, the plants in which they were processed or made into bombs and all patents relating thereto. Now, six years later, the picture has changed. The U. S. monopoly is gone. Russia and Britain have bombs of their own. The prospects for international control of atomic for peaceful energy production uses have dimmed almost to the vanishing point. Countries like Belgium and The Netherlands, with limited supplies of coal and no petroleum, are looking toward the use of atomic power as prime sources of energy. With control over the rich uranium mines of the Congo, the Belgians are beginning to wonder why all their raw materials should go to the U. S. for processing. On top of this, engineering brains have caught up with scientific brains at a more rapid rate than was expected. The use of atomic energy for the development' of ele- trie power is now conceded to be a lot closer than was thought possible five years ago. Afw ef I j 'V ',r Wingers - Cho' ies |
