It's a quiet, family day that centers about the traditional "groaning board." It's an unhectic, un-hurried day (except for the women in the kitchen, perhaps), a day that can be enjoyed for itself alone. Sometime today, probably after we retreat from the scene of devastation wrought upon the turkey or the ham or what have you, we'll take a few moments to look back over the past year in a spirit of thankfulness. We'll reflect on the good things that have come our way to us personally, to our loved ones and to our fellow men at large.

The disappointments, the frustrations, even the tragedies we may have known, will fade into the background as we relax in a sense of gratitude just for the mere fact of living. But Thanksgiving is more than a once-a-year review or balance sheet of the previous 12 months. It's a collection of the memories of many other TLobi Oi Jliaitki living thanks is the keynote of this upason of the year. But is one to ex-pess thanks in words alone, or do it r'ore effectively by deeds? A most worthwhile opportunity to chare one's blessings is afforded in the current "March for Muscular Distro-phy," in which volunteers will be ringing door bells in the Longview area next Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. Heading up this effort in Longview are R.

F. Sartain, 412 East Edgefield, who is chairman, and Mrs. Bess Booken Feldman, 36 Covington Drive, co-chair man. This is a part of the work of the Muscular Distrophy Association of America, of which Jerry Lewis is national chairman and Mrs. John F.

Kennedy is honorary chairman this year. The victims of this dread disease may be of any age, but most are children. The greatest need is medical research to find a cure that could end the years of crippled helplessness of its victims and to find effective preventive measures. It would be a wonderful way to express thanks for health and well-being by supporting this worthwhile cause. Why not give the Thanksgiving season a real meaning by giving when your door bell rings next Monday evening? similar holidays.

It's the sum of all the Thanksgivings we have ever known. Thinking of this, we realize that we are today building part of the memories that will color all the coming Thanksgivings, particularly those of our children. It makes us pause to consider what kind of memories we are making for them, what kind of family life, what kind of attitude toward the world. Perhaps more than ever this year, fear of what the future holds could cast a pull over the festivities. If we dwelt pessimistically on th state of the world, we could conclude that it is distinctly possible that none of us will be around to observe this holiday in 1962.

But this is far from the purpose of Thanksgiving and is not the spirit we would like to see imparted to the next generation. For it was not so in the beginning. The first Thanksgiving, too, was held in perilous times. The future was not at all certain for those pioneers in a harsh wilderness, and there was no guarantee that they would survive for another year. Yet a spirit of hope and confidence so infused that gathering that it has reached down over the centuries to us.

No sense of impending and inevitable doom should sit at America's Thanksgiving tables today. There is concern for the future, of course, but along with that concern goes a determination to make sure there is a future, for us and for our children. While we give thanks to Almighty God that ours is a free nation, let us thank Him also for individual liberty. For of what small value is national freedom when compared to individual liberty? Russia' is a free nation, but individuals behind the Communist Iron Curtain are of little more value than livestock to be fenced in and strictly controlled in all they think and say and do. Governor Bradford in 1621 issued a proclamation calling on the Pilgrim Fathers to assemble at the Meeting House to give thanks for their blessings of food, health, and freedom of worship.

There is no point in being thankful, except our thanks be expressly directed to the Lord of heaven and earth, the giver of all good gifts. And in our national freedom and individual liberty, let us forget not to Him in spirit and in truth. It is He who keeps and preserves us from peril. Bess Meverson. the former "Miss town's plush sm.

In general the rise in prices during and since the recession has hcen traced largely to the added Costa of distribution, processing and retailing. The cost of the basic materials have remained fairly steady. Food it Its own story. Its original price is influenced by weather and government supports After that the processing and distributing costs are added. Often the store price seem, far away from the farm price.

But this time at least such creeping advances in the cost of living as have shown up in recent months be traced to waring industrial prices. In the recovery from the 1949 recessKm the jump industrial prices was 15 per cent. After the 1954 recession industrial prices rose by 10 per cent, and sflcr the 194 slump, 3 per cent.
