Show two weeks ago we commented on the approach to the thanksgiving season and the decision of president roosevelt to proclaim the as the day for national observance it is interesting to note noie the comments in other papers and to read of the confusion which has resulted in some states and among families who live in adjoining states where decision was made to observe one or the other of the i two remaining thursdays in this month as thanksgiving za day it is also of interest to know that two former presidents experienced the disapproval of state leaders and we presume many individuals were involved in the mix up of those two periods when the last thursday of the month fell on the and thereby gave opportunity for differences of opinion during the administration of president grant and in more recent time during that of president cleveland V the detail of those occasions occasions is of little moment now since the point we would make is that no matter what decision a president or any leader of prominence may make and that applies also to all who are given to take leadership in lesser known organization of any form therel there are certain to be those who will be of contrary mind and who will choose to follow their own preference and this is their privilege or has been up to this period of time but the sad part of such actions is that the majority of people who choose to disagree wax strong in critic criticism ism or other form of abuse which they direct toward such leaders without trying to understand the pros and cons or to analyze the situation which places responsibility on the one in authority to such degree as he or she may take and saddest of all is the fact that such criticism usually comes from those who would be incapable of taking leadership th themselves em selves and the end is not yet the grim reaper has again stalked ini in our midst taking from us a little child and an older person in each case accident was the cause of death on the one hand inflicting great suffering on the little child and still greater grief to her sorrowing parents and on the other hand snuffing out the life of an older resident who was well liked by those i who knew him to the average person these happenings cause wonderment and even to some of us who have made careful study of the mystery of life it would seem that god works in in a most mysterious way to bring about the changes he would see enacted in the lives of those who are left to mourn the passing of loved ones or to suffer the uncertainties which result from other forms of disruption and which cause those who are involved to take account of themselves or to remake their life pattern in keeping with such changes as we hear of today among people in all walks of life and in many other places an interesting letter from a colorado subscriber contains this paragraph living away from san juan I 1 do en enjoy joithe the reco record rd so much but I 1 wish there was more local and blanding news even the places like boulder and ucolo bucolo have more news than either monticello or blanding with only a tenth of the population and surely there so much happening there you give the schools some small space there are other suggestions in this letter with which we would also like to comply and in time may be able to do so in regard to the paragraph quoted we may say that we do urge upon our workers coworkers co and correspondents to send us more bits of news and we will give more space to local and blanding happenings and to school news as they will collect such news and to that which is voluntarily sent to us we are always willing to cooperate and appreciate your comments of approval or suggestion and please take note local and blanding friends and those in charge of educational affairs in any of the nearby or more distant places even our far distant friends enjoy reading about what we who live in this remote part of the country are doing and jf if they are interested how much more so are those who live an closer touch in nearby communities and neighboring states rt ates in general the iron phosphorus calcium easily digested protein and fat in eggs make them rank high in the list of foods in a well selected dietary |
