The convivial atmosphere of this occasion, when prolonged feasting and games were on the program, established a tradition which has continued thru the history of the holiday. It is of Puritan birth, but it displays the austerity of the Pilgrim Fathers in a relaxed and mellow mood. 1 St Po at no p. 1 St Po at no ro propping raisin prices by a subsidy program, growers dried more of their grapes into raisins this year, reducing the quantity of grapes available to wineries by 128,000 tons.

Our blessings eannot be judged by comparison. One person may have more ability thari another and reaps a greater harkest thru his inherent capabilities. This factor often is a source of discontent but it need not be to those who have the opportunity to obtain the maximum from their talents. The sooner we realize this the more we can appreciate our bounties.

The man who can do only menial work must be just as thankful for being able to accomplish his job as the executive type who is destined to reach the top. Many of us have more to be appreciative of than we wish to admit. All too often the one who is a slave to ambition is not satisfied with his gains, feeling that he could have more. This type of personality is too impatient and neglects to be thankful for the progress already made. Living each day as it comes is far more enjoyable and profitable than worrying about the future or dwelling upon the past.

14Mr. Parrish's cartoon of Sunday. Nov. 13, concerning the arrival of the May flower, entitled "Today's Histor) Lesson," was very interesting. If this is really a history lesson.

I believe you should correct the date of arrival, shown as Nov. 1" The historidal date of the arrival of the-Mayflower off Provincetown was Nov. 11 under the old Julian calendar. This was the day on which the famous Mayflower Compact was drawn up on shipboard and signed by 41 male passengers. But the old dates, used by the English at that time, have now supposedly been adjusted by historians to the dates of the Gregorian calendar which in the rth century requires an addition of 10 clftys to the Julian calendar.

Thus, the true date of the arrival of the Pilgrims as taught in histories today should be Nov. 21. This also is now celebrated as Mayflower Compact day, and this year has been so proclaimed in Illinois by Gov. Stevenson, Mayor Kennelly and the mayors of Springfield, Peoria, Champaign, Aurora, Joliet. Rock Island, Moline, Rockford and others.

WALDO MORGAN ALLEN Governor of the Society of Mayflower Descendants, Dlinota 1 Bobby's always burning up," But I should like to learn: When she does her burning, What, sir, does she burn? Tiddlywinks THE OLDEST IDEA IN AMERICA Today, when Americans eat turkey and the fixings, they think of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, and the day in 1621 when they gave thanks for the bringing in of their first harvest. In fact, that first Thanksgiving was a little premature. Not for another two years were the Pilgrims to Eet themselves on the path to prosperity. The initial difficulties of the Plymouth bay colony were occasioned by some social and eco nomic concepts which today are being paraded again as if they were something startlingly new. They go now by the names of communism, socialism, and the welfare state." There was a little of all of these in the original experiment at Plymouth, but the same ideas had already been tried and found wanting on American soil.

In 1606, James I of England had granted two Incorporated companies the exclusive right to colonize and trade in the vast area called Virginia," stretching from Cape Fear to Maine. The Virginia company of London had the southern part; the Virginia company of Plymouth the northern. The first colonizing venture, by the southern company, was at Jamestown, settled in 1607. For some years the colonists, indentured to work for seven yearsextended under subsequent charters to 12worked the company's land, putting all proceeds into a common storehouse from which the needs of the workers were to be met and the remainder distributed to the stockholders. The settler had no land of his own.

The lack of incentive under this communal plan made it a miserable failure. Not until the system was abolished by Sir Thomas Dale, the acting governor, did Jamestown begin to prosper. He brought the land Into individual ownership, requiring each settler to turn into the common stock 2 barrels of corn, and allowing him to keep the remainder of his crop for himself. The verdict passed by Capt. John Smith on the inefficiency of the original system is a profitable text to this day: When our people were fed out of the common store, and labored jointly together, glad was he who could slip from his labor or slumber over his task he cared not how; nay, the roost honest among them would hardly take so much true pains in a week, as now for themselves they will do in a day; neither cared they for the increase, presuming that howsoever the harvest prospered, the general store must maintain them, so that we reaped not so much corn from the labor of 30, as now three or four do provide for themselves." Despite the demonstrated failure at Jamestown, the Pilgrims at Plymouth initially embarked on a similar plan.

Pastor John Robinson had warned that, at least, there should be the incentive that the colonists own the homes they built and the land they improved, and be allowed two days a week of toil in their own gain. But a different view prevailed. For the first two years everythingcorn, fish, and fowl went into a common storehouse, from which equal shares were apportioned. When the demand for a division of property and the fruits of toil grew among the Pilgrims, Robert Cushman, their London agent, came to Plymouth to quiet the disaffection. As his text for a sermon in 1621, he submitted, Let no roan seek his own; but every man another's wealth." Self-love, he said, leads to destruction.

Everyone must look out for his brethren and share equally with them. Cushman charged Satan with having brought particularizing" into the world, because he was not content to keep that equal state with his fellows, but would set his throne above the stars." Thus communist economics were fortified with pseudo-religious sanctions. The result was hardship and hunger. Giving In to the murmurings of the colonists, Gov. William Bradford in 1623 decreed a new order of affairs: At length, after much debate of things, the Gov.

with ye advise of ye chiefest amongst them gave way that they should set come every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves and so assigned to every family a parcell of land, according to the proportion of their number for that end, and ranged all boys youth under some famille. This had very good success; for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more come was planted than other wise would have bene by any means ye Gov. or any other could use, and saved him a great deall of trouble. and gave farr better contente." So, at Jamestown and Plymouth, the American incentive system sprang up out of the failure of communism and the welfare state." Gov. Bradford's judgment coincided with that of Capt.

Smith: This experience that was had in this commone course and condition, tried sundrie years. and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanitie of that conceite of Plato other ancients, applauded by some of later times; that ye taking away of propertie, and bringing into communitie into a commone wealth, would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God." We have with us today men who fancy themselves wiser than Providence and would steer America into plans and designs that are the oldest failures recorded among our ancestors. This is a good season to recall that, if they ever have their way, there again will be little to give thanks for in America.

In 1606, Incorporatec colonize and ginia," stret 'THE MONOPOLISTS Theodore Brand, in a recent story in THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE On the nation's great network of pipe lines, told of their birth in the oil fields of Pennsylvania in Civil war days. Oil from the world's first oil well, sunk near Titusville, in 1859 by Edwin L. Drake, made its precarious way to market by barge. When other wells were drilled away from watercourses, teamsters hauled the oil to the early refineries. The idea that the oil could be piped to its destination came naturally, but when a pipe line was built, the teamsters tore up their too efficient competitor.

It was nearly a decade before a real start was made on the network of 150,000 miles of pipe which now stretches over most of the nation. Altho the means have changed from the crude violence of the Pennsylvania teamsters to legislative chicanery and conspiracies between management and labor unions, virtually all of this pipe line network has been built against the opposition of other forms transportation which don't want to compete with pipe lines. The railroads, which themselves had to fight legislative battles in their early days against the canal companies and inland steamship lines, which they eventually bankrupted, fought pipe lines from the start. They are still fighting them. The usual battleground is a state legislature, for pipe lines, like railroads and utility companies, must have the right of eminent domain to condemn land for their rights of way.

During the war time transportation shortage, a gasoline pipe line was projected from the gulf to the neighborhood of Atlanta, to relieve fuel shortages in that inland area. It was authorized only after a political and legal battle royal in Georgia between the oil companies and the railroads and railroad unions. Last year it was proposed to build a new form of transportation line, a belt conveyor handreds of miles long, to carry iron ore from Great Lakes ports to the Pittsburgh area, and coal back to the lake ports. The railroads and rail unions beat it in the Ohio legislature. For years the coal industry, John Lewis and his miners, and coal carrying railroads and their unionized employes had enough combined political pull to keep natural gas out of eastern industrial areas.

The big inch pipe line was built only as a war measure, and the coal and railroad interests raised a terrific row when the pipe was later used to transport gas instead of oil. Motorists of the country have a legitimate grievance against the trucking industry, which is breaking down the highways of the country faster than gas taxes can rebuild them, and paying far ress than its share of highway costs. In their fight they have unsavory but powerful allies in the railroads, which want to hamper a competitor, and the railroad unions, which see their members losing jobs beouse the truck companies have not been afflicted with the same degree of featherbedding that the rail unions have imposed on their employers. This opposition of vested interests to new practices which would give the public cheaper service aren't. of course, confined to the transportation field.

In Chicago we have milk wagon drivers exacting exorbitant commissions for -deliveries to stores, for the purpose of preserving the excessively costly home delivery system; retail butchers fighting ready cut meat; and plasterers seeking to make people buy plaster, whether they want it or not, thru phony fire protection rules in the building code. In most of these instances, as in transport, the union is in conspiracy with a group of employers who don't want the status quo disturbed. It would be nice to have a constitutional amendment declaring that since competition is the life of our economic system, everyone must compete and no one shall use the laws to stifle more economical methods of performing a giN, en taskexcept that the ingenuity of the monopolists is too great, and their ways of operating are too various to be covered by any 1 single law. We can only hope that the courts 1 and the public will learn to regard the lot of them for what they are, organized pickpockets. END PAROLE AND CURB CRIME Chicago, Nov.

crime situation in Chicago has become intolerable. There were 59 unsolved murders here in 1948. Citizens are robbed or beaten in homes as well as on the streets. Valuables are taken regardless of protective measures. Offic- safes are hauled away intact to be leisurely opened in some safe retreat.

The best one can say of our cops and courts is that they exert a mild repression. The criminal has an immense advantage in being able to choose the time and place of his operations. To counterbalance this advantage he should receive no consideration of mercy when caught. When a farmer traps a rat he does not turn it loose so that he can have the fun of catching it again. According to the FBI 78 per cent of parolees are arrested again.

Most of the other 22 per cent are probably too smart to be caught. They learn many new tricks of the trade in their stay at the big house" school. Efficient government aims at achieving the greatest good to the most people. Horse sense suggests that the institution of parole should be abolished except, perhaps, in the case of first offenders. Why should 4 million people be kept in jeopardy to favor a few hundred crooks who would be better off dead? Some politicians favor parole for it enables them to make profitable contacts with the underworld.

Do gooders favor it because they lack a comprehensive view of the over all situation. Let us eliminate the asininity of our parole system and we will strike a solar plexus blow at crime. CARLETON. The principal meat dish in that harvest festival, to which the colonists invited Indian neighbors, was not turkey, which has since become ritualistic, but venison. It is possible that the North American wild turkey could not be found in the woods around the small settlement at Plymouth.

If seen, the bird may not have impressed the hunters as toothsome game. Years passed before the domesticated turkey, bosomy with choice white meat, reached New England. It came as a contribution from Europe, where it had been bred from the domesticated turkey that the Spaniards found in Mexico. On the other hand, the Pilgrims were familiar with venison, a food of noble reputation in their European background. It may be assumed that they had not done much chewing of deer meat before they sailed for the New World in the Mayflower, because they were plain folk in whose homeland venison was the dish of kings and nobles.

But since poaching on deer preserves was a common practice among their kind, it is likely that they were not strangers to the methods of preparing venison for the table. The Indian chief who was invited to the feast arrived with a retinue of 90 braves. These gate-crashers caused a crisis in the commissary department of the hosts, but the problem was solved by the Indians themselves, who sent out their best hunters. Five deer carcasses were soon added to the supplies. One may hope that the paleface butchers and cooks were smart enough to deal this green, unhung venison out to the redskins, while the Pilgrims were served from mellower haunches.

In the centuries that followed, deer meat was more important in the American food supply than turkey. It was a great contribution to the nourishment of frontier families. Today, white-tailed, black-tailed and mule deer, well protected by game laws, are still abundant in the open spaces. Hunters kill about 375,000 every year, and yet the species are increasing in number and range. 4-- THANKSGIVING PRAYER How can we thank Thee, Lord, for all Thy gifts, For the rich bounty of Thy lavish Hand? How can mere words give praise for stars and dawns? For all Thy wonders poured on sea and land? For the deep joys of home, for warmth and cheer, For golden harvests gleaned and safely stored, For music, beauty, peace, for life itself, How can Thy Name be worthily adored? Lord, Thou hast given us all the heavens and earth; 0, what can we give back to Thee, we pray?

Sheehan After Ostrich Comes Crocodile An omelet made from crocodile eggs was one of the odd dishes enjoyed by Prof. Frank Debenham of Cambridge university while he was surveying the Bangw eulu swamp in Northern Rhodesia at the request of the British colonial office. Speaking to the National Affairs association in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia, Prof. Debenham described the omelet as being greenish yellow with a taste reminiscent of th6 egg powder used in Britain during the war. The omelet was made from about 30 new-laid eggs taken from a nest of about 120.

Contrary to the cook boy's assurances, the professor neither died nor turned into a crocodile.

Cecilia may be found among the works of the British composer Benjamin Britten, with text by W. H. Auden. It was ably performed last April 11 by the Augustana choir in Medinah temple.

He has written several pieces on Auden texts. Chicagoans remember him for his appearances as composer, conductor, and pianist with the Illinois Symphony orchestra in 1940-41. Seymour Raven 2 In that rewarding, grafic toil, What she burns is midnight oil. Lola Dorragh le p. thi tai De.

Wonder Sometimes it is difficult to be thankful when the hours are darkest. This is apparent to the physician who is in contact daily with the suffering and the sorrowful.

It is a revelation to watch the different attitudes toward "adversity; some can be thankful even tho the odds against them are overwhelming. We have seen individuals on their deathbeds who were glad to have had the opportunity to live and contribute toward the welfare of others. A man or woman who loses his left arm or leg may praise God because he still has the use of the other. This is more than courage; it represents a perfect adjustment to the situations of life. In contrast', the maladjusted or selfish individual, when illness strikes, falls apart and becomes demanding and resentful.

He cannot understand why he should be robbed of life and its enjoyments. He is being robbed by self-pity, a potent source of degeneration. Instead of celebrating Thanksgiving once a year it would behoove us to take inventory daily and offer thanks for our good fortune. Even when misfortunes beset us, we might remember that it could be worse." TOMORROW: Dr. Van Dellen discusses hairfall.

INCONSISTENT REPUBLICANS Ogden, Utah, Nov. 18As a Republican opposed to the establishment of a welfare state, I want to state that I am also opposed to the use of American tax dollars to finance the deficiencies of welfare states established in foreign countries. Double-talking New Deal Republican members of congress should at least show consistency of purpose when they vote billions to Europe and Asia and object when the Democrats propose similar expenditures for this country. It will be a bright day for the American people when the Republican party sets out a definite program of consistency and elects men pledged to carry out that program. HUcli F.

COOKING WITH WOOD Our Mr. Morrison Wood has published a cook book, With a Jug of Wine," which, as the title implies, leans heavily on wine as an ingredient of the well flavored dish. This is not to say that Mr.

Wood is above beer, cider, cognac, or even water, but he inclines to wine. Whether he inclines, or reclines: after his dinners, we do not, of course, know. It so happens that hardly had Mr. Wood's book got into circulation than nature and a paternalistic Uncle Sam became the parents of a little price rise in California wine. This looks like a plot directed against Mr.

Wood and his recipes, for the author is at pains to say that cooking with wine need not be expensive, as imported wines are less desirable in cookery than American wines. You need never be ashamed to serve a fine American wine," says Mr. Wood. According to the usually reliable Wall Street Journal, prices of California bulk wines are coming out of the cellar.
