Show TEST RUN, Dugway, Utah, Fri., Nov. 17, 1967 Thanksgiving Day by Chaplain (MAJ) William J. Bolt The custom of observing Thanksgiving Day began in 1621 when Covemor Bradford, leader of the Plymouth Colony, prodaim-e- d a day of public praise and prayer to Cod after the colony's first harvest. . SOON AFTERWARD, the became practice customary and spread throughout the rest of the New England colonies. In 1789, President George Washington recommended that the last Thursday of November be reserved as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favours of Almighty God. This proclamation of our first president continued, the nation to "beseech Him to pardon our national and urging other transgressions, to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone know to be best. As the years have gone by, it appears that the religious significance of Thanksgiving Day, so very prominent in the early days of our country, has almost disappeared. Consequently, the celebration of the day for many consists only in a vague thank you for our temporal prosperity. The you may mean the butcher who sold us a delicious turkey or the super market which furnished the vegetables, or anyone else except God. We do admit that we have so njuch to be thankful for but hardly advert toreadily whom we should be thankful-AImig- hty God, the source of all gyTnm . DID YOU NOTICE the order of the petitions to God in the quotation from George Washingtons proclamation? He asks first that the nation seek Gods pardon for its sins. Then he asks the people to provide religious education and training. Last in order is to seek the things of this world. On Thanksgiving Day this year, we could recapture some of the true spirit of the celebration right here at Dugway. We could ask God to pardon our sins, to help train our children in the knowledge and love of God, and then thank Him for His bounty-bo- th spiritual and material.

Requests which have been forwarded from the individuals duty station do not have to be returned solely for the purpose of including the number. However, requests returned to the individual from any source for additional information or other action will include die individual's Social Security number when they are forwarded again. The Army message noted that bilure to include Social Security numbers on requests will cause delay in processing and may result in the inability to retire or separate the individual on the date he has requested. MORNING SMAI Albertson's delicious smooth Fresh Cranberry. flavor-of-the-mo- HALF GAL FROZEN PIES VEGETABLES A new pamphlet on driving and highway dangers has come to our attention. It is entitled The Deadly Illusion and says that we drivers are not scared enough on the highways. LET US QUOTE from the pamphlet, which starts out by asking this question: Do you consider yourself a brave man? Do you think you'd have the nerve to do something that Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, or Alexander the Great would have been afraid to do? " Most of us would laugh at this question and answer that t natural-bowere cowards. Yet almost every day we deliberately perform an act that would have made these fearless conquerors . tremble in terror. ALL OF TIIE arrows, spears and swords of their enemies would not have frightened Genghis or Julius or Alexander as much as setting behind the wheel of an automobile and . steering it down a narrow strip of concrete at 70 miles an hour, with other vehicles hurtling past only three feet to the left and a never-endinassort- -. ment of road signs, fence posts, mail boxes and trees threatening disaster only six feet to the rigfrt. The bravest men of the past would have been terrified at the thought of rolling down a narrow road at such speed, with death to the right of them and death to the left of diem, the pamphlet proclaims. We guess wed have to agree. "Die pamphlet on the Deadly Illusion continues by saying that ( 'Yet today, even the most timid of us go zooming down the highways without a flutter of fear. This is a tribute to mans ability " to become adjusted to danger if he lives with it long enough. THATS ONE of the major causes of the slaughter on ' American highways, however-w- e are TOO adjusted to the danger of speed. As we pour along the road in our quiet, comfortable cars we lose our awareness of the reality of speed and we fall victim . to an illusion of safety. We seem to be in complete control of our vehicles. We dont seem to be going very fast, and when we on our brakes ' we appear to stop in a short distance. Everythingputseems very safe and secure But anyone who has stood beside a highway and watched the traffic rush past knows that the mind plays a dangerous trick on motorists. As you stand beside the road, you can see that the cars are actually roaring by at immense speed and you have to realize that their drivers have very limited control over them. Yes, the pamphlet says, when you drive an automobile at high speed, remember that you are probably doing the most dangerous thing youll ever do in your life. Go about it with the alertness and caution that a dangerous action deserves. And re- -. member, too, that driving is a full time job for experts. D.C.
