Garnand's Grains of Sand THEN AND NOW As we approach Thanksgiving it is appropriate that we consider the comparison between the first Thanksgiving and the one we are about to observe.

Our school books tell us that the first Thanksgiving was in joyful appreciation of a bounteous harvest, which literally meant that the Plymouth colony could survive the winter ahead. The Pilgrims had landed on the bleak coast of New England on December 21, 1620, far too late in the season for growing crops. There was and privation during the cold winter months. In the spring seeds were planted and the watched the growth of the crops anxiously, because their lives depended upon the harvest. When the harvest turned out to be good, there was great rejoicing and Governor Bradford proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving.

Our history books also have recorded that the governor of the colony sent out four men in search of game. They returned with a large number of wild fowl, most of which were turkeys, thus establishing a tradition of the turkey as the major' feature of the Thanksgiving 'feast. It has been said that of all the holidays observed in the United States there is none so distinctly American as Thanksgiving. As one writer put it, "It is a legacy of the pilgrims, cherished because of the traditions that surround it." Even today as we are faced with high prices and some shortages we still have far more for which to be thankful on this annual occasion than those Pilgrim settlers had on the first Thanksgiving. Let us not fail to be appropriately appreciative of the good things that we have.

Funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Church of the Brethren the Rev. John Mummert and Dave Crabb officiating. Burial will be at Valley View Cemetery. Friends may call Monday evening and Tuesday at the Garnand Funeral Chapel.

'Liberated man' put on parade CLEVELAND (AP) The blushing beauty pageant contestants, clad in tight swimsuits, paraded through onlookers who patted thighs and administered an occasional pinch.

Farrell lined up the men and told women in the audience to pick the ones they wanted to date. The men were told to decide which women they would date based on their salaries and what the women would be doing five years in the future. "For most women, their body is what will determine the financial support they will have for the rest of their lives," Farrell said in a recent interview. "For every laugh we had, there was a serious message." Meany's quarter-century rule ends i WASHINGTON (AP) Lane Kirkland, organized labor's shy and scholarly administrator, won election as president of the 13.6-million-member AFL-CIO today, ending a quarter- century of leadership under George Meany. Kirkland, 57, the ailing Meany's second in command and hand-picked successor, was elected without opposition by 1,000 delegates attending the labor organization's 13th convention.

It was the first change of leadership since Meany, 85, was installed as president after the birth 24 years ago of the merged American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. Kirkland, a South Carolinian who worked his way up the AFL-CIO staff during a 30-year career with the labor federation, emerges now not only as chief spokesman for unionized workers but also as a potent force in the nation's political, social and economic affairs. Kirkland is a protege and close friend of Meany, who is retiring after 12 two- year terms as AFL-CIO president because of poor health, and his eventual i'S FAREWELL AFL-CIO president George Meany waves adieu to union convention In Washington. election to the top post had been an- Telegram grid contest Misses three, still wins ticipated for years. Thomas R.

Donahue, 51, a former Labor Department official who became Meany's executive assistant, also ran without opposition to succeed Kirklahd as secretary-treasurer. Presidential politics are as much on the minds of union leaders as internal politics at the union gathering. President Carter and his top aides have lavished attention on those attending the convention, and on Sunday, it was Edward M. Kennedy's turn. Kennedy, challenging Carter for the 1980 Democratic presidential nomination, invited all 104 presidents of AFL-CIO unions to his Virginia home for what one union leader said was a low-key afternoon get-together.

"It was sort of a casual gathering," said Fred J. Kroll, president of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks. Kroll said Kennedy talked briefly, reminding his guests that he has been in the Senate since 1962 and has given organized labor help over the last 17 years when it needed it.

Box 958 Notre Dame wasn't the only one without the luck of the Irish this weekend in football. The 194 contestants in this weekend's Telegram, football guessing contest fell prey to several games, including Clemson's shocker over Notre Dame. Johnny Rupp, Holcomb, won first place with three incorrect guesses. John M. Thomas, took second place with four misses.

Rupp incorrectly predicted the Navy- Georgia Tech game, Michigan State- Iowa game and the Colorado State- Nevada, Las Vegas game. Georgia Tech and Iowa won. Nevada tied with Colorado State. "You're kidding," Rupp said when he heard of his win. This is the third time he has placed in the contest.

Three years ago, he won third place and two years ago he placed second. "I was watching the games Saturday and knew I'd already missed two, and there were five or six to go, so I thought I was out of it," he said.

Auburn beat Georgia, Furman defeated Citadel, and Northeast Oklahoma nipped Scottsdale, in the Beef Bowl. "I wonder how I did it," Thomas quipped.

"I knew I missed a lot." Thomas, his wife and six-year-old son enter the contests each week. This was the Thomas family's first win. Rupp will receive $50 for first place and Thomas $25. The last contest for the season will appear in Tuesday's Telegram.
