Show "Did we hear some ono say that we could get a piece of pumpkin pie here? 'Cause If it's so, boy, lead us to it," And the rush was on. For It was so, and about half a hundred boys made a bee line for the canteen at the station this morning, and from then on, until the train departed, the work-ers work-ers in charge were slashing pumpkin pies, and pouring coffee, until Jt seemed as if all the pie and all the I coffee In the world had been sent ' there. "Look at (hat pie Isn't that like Thanksgiving?" Then after a minute "And baby, it tastes like Thanksgiving." Thanksgiv-ing."

Some would arrive todav, others not until tomorrow, but despite ; the delay it was to be the most glo- ' rious Thanksgiving in all their lives, ' and in the existence of the world itself j for its it not a day in which to give thanks for the greatest victory of his- ' tory? |
