Wabaah Ohleaio. Orajbtr Nrw City; Ctoand- Atlanta. Ok. FRIDAY, AUGUST 1839 THANKSGIVING President Roosevelt failed to think twice before announcing that he would proclaim Thursday, November 23, as Thanksgiving Day, Instead of the last Thursday in the month. His decision, made early possibly to determine publi reaction, can still be recall ed.

Perhaps, when all the facts are considered, he wil recall it. The trouble all corr.es about because November of this year has five Thursdays, which the early celebrants of this great day did not take into consideration. All calendars were printed a year or more ago, and those which indicate holidays in red letters show the last Thursday in this in red--Thanksgiving Day. If President Roosevelt were going to change the day. he should have done so a year or even two years ago.

All football competition for this fall was scheduled a year or more ago for the fifth Thursday in November, 1939. These engagements cannot be easily changed to mee-t the wishes even of the President of the United States. Every football fans knows that. Why, the whole thing might change a political administration. And there is the turkey to be considered.
