Friday, November 20, 1964 The Western Carolinian Page 4 Co-ed Beauty j Thanksgiving Is True American Holiday MRS. LINDA HARDY This week's Beauty is the charming Linda Hardy, one of our married coeds. Linda is a Sophomore majoring in Psychology. Among her hobbies she lists painting, playing badminton, and above all, showering love and affection upon her young daughter, Tracy Lynn. The versatile Mrs. Hardy has successfully combined her careers as wife, mother, and student. Happy Thanksgiving Linda!

Brown Cafeteria — Admission at door: $1.00 by Linda Krug Thanksgiving Day, "a peculiarly American feast," occurs on the fourth Thursday in November, and is proclaimed by our President and governors. Thanksgiving is a legal holiday in all states, the District of Columbia, the Canal Zone, Guam. Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. With its roast turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pies, of all the holidays observed in this country, there is none so distinctively American as Thanksgiving, a legacy of the Pilgrims, cherished because of the traditions attached to it. This holiday is enjoyed not only by the descendants of the Pilgrims but by all Americans; and Thanksgiving is primarily a time for giving thanks for the harvests, and for other blessings the year has brought. After the first two Thanksgivings, there is no evidence that such a day was regularly observed. When settlers of other faiths reached New England, it was decided to let the governors set the dates. The Dutch people of New Amsterdam — later New York — began to observe "Thank Days" in 1644, and continued them after coming under British rule. During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress set several Thanksgiving Days for the people to rejoice in their homes and churches for victories. In 1778, George Washington proclaimed a day on which to give thanks for the treaties Just concluded with France. Some years later, in 1789, he designated Thursday, November 26, to honor the adoption of the Constitution, "... a form of government that would make for safety and happiness." But gradually the feeling grew all over the land that we should have a uniform national Thanksgiving Day. Sarah Jose- pha Hale, the dynamic editor of the popular magazine, Godey's Lady's Book, was for forty years the chief sponsor of this idea. For more than two decades Mrs. Hale wrote editorials in her magazine, sent letters to the Presidents, state governors, and many others, and gave countless speeches urging the adoption of a uniform national Thanksgiving Day. Mrs. Hale advocated the celebration of Thanksgiving on the same day as Independence Day, July 4. Since she and many others realized the approaching break between the North and South, in her 1859 editorial ("Our Thanksgiving Union") she declared: If every state would join in Union Thanksgiving on the 24th of this month, would it not be a renewed pledge of love and loyalty to the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees peace, prosperity, and perpetuity to our great Republic? In September 1863, Sarah Josepha Hale's last editorial urging a national Thanksgiving Day appeared in Godey's Lady's Book and, no doubt, it helped to bring action. After the victory at Gettysburg, there was great rejoicing in the North. Then President Lincoln issued a proclamation (the second ever made by a Chief Executive) and named the last Thursday in November as the date. When families and friends met for Thanksgiving dinner that year, they ate practically the same foods served today on this holiday. While the New Englanders were giving thanks for their blessings, days of thanksgiving were also observed on the Pacific coast. Historians say the first one celebrated in California occurred in July 1769. At St. Paul's Catholic Church STOVALL'S 5-10-25* STORE Next To First Union Bank Welcome to All New And Old Student Customers in Washington, D. C, there is a Pan-American celebration which began in 1909. Here, representatives of the Western world join in giving thanks. At the initial service of this kind, President Taft and his Cabinet were present. This marked "the first time in the history of the Western World that all the Republics were assembled for a religious function." One of the fine ways in which the United States, generally celebrates Thanksgiving is the sharing with the less fortunate. Churches, rescue missions, school classes, and many philanthropic organizations see to it that no one goes hungry on this truly American holiday. Church services are held in many localities, and often persons of different faiths worship together on Thanksgiving. The idea of such a day was not a new one with the Pilgrims, however; in fact it is claimed that the Chinese observed such rites thousands of years ago. Thanksgiving can be traced back to the ancient Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, which lasted eight days; also to a nine'day celebration, the Greek feast for Demeter, goddess of agriculture; and to the Roman Cerealia, honoring Ceres. Both the Greek and Roman festivals featured sacrifices to the deities; and these ceremonies were combined with music and feasting. In Scotland, such a gathering was called a "kern"; often after a special service at the church, which was decorated with autumn flowers, fruits, and vegetables, a harvest feast was served to all attendants. So the idea is not new with the American people — but it seems that we have more to be thankful for. Too many times we simply do not take the effort to be grateful. This Thanksgiving, let's take the time and truly give thanks for a bounteous America.
