Him.i Oder and Danube rivers, within German territory, now return to German control and France is content to ask other powers to join a protest. Mere protests amount to little in European diplomacy, as the world learned from the Ethiopian war.

That settles, finally, the Versailles treaty, a foolish effort to enslave a nation that made the emergence ot this, or some other, Hitler inevitable.

We Believe Mexican Youth Arranged I Kidnapping- Case Luis Hernandez, 21, Charged With Kidnapping Of Francisca Castellon, 17. Louis Hernandez, 21-year-old Mexican youth, was lodged in the county jail on Monday morning by Gillespie county peace officers on charge of kidnapping Francisca Castellon, a 17 year old Mexican girl from the home of her parents near Cave Creek on Sunday night.

According to i brought out at the examining trial on Monday morning. Hernandez, a former employee at the same place at which the parents are engaged, took the girl from home against her consent on Sunday night after the parents had retired and took her to a place near Johnson City where he was apprehended by local of- ficers. At trial on Monday Her- ru.ndfz was bound over for the February term of the Gillespie, Grand Jury, al which time that boay will further investigate Fie case. He was placed under bond of $1000 in default of which he was placed in the i c- unty jail. The trusty toe of Captain Johnny Olfers yesterday meant the difference between victory and defeat, and the difference between a district 22B championship club and a second place club, as his placement kick, fol- lowinp touchdown in the second quarter of the Brady-Fredericksburg championship game, sailed cleanly between the uprights and gave the men of Andrew's a that was never eclipsed by their rivals.

It was the ninth victory of the season for the locals; their only defeat of the current year having been marked-up by Brady early In the season. The first half of Wednes ball game easily belonged to Fredericksburg, as they took advantage of all the breaks offered them to break through and score their lone marker. Lee scored the only touchdown chalked up for the locals at the beginning of the second quarter, after tw-o penalties assessed against Brady; one for having 12 men on the field anti the other for unnecessary roughness, gave Fredericksburg the ball on the Brady 1-yard line. From where Lee, following a try by Olfers, drove through the center of the line for the six points. Olfers annexed the precious and decisive extra point by making a perfect place kick while Anderegg held the ball.

We of today, everyone of us, and without exception, are so much obligated to be grateful as a people as were the Pilgrim Fathers at the close of a magnificent crop year following the hard previous winter, and which practically assured the colonists the guaranty against starvation in the next succeeding winters. We of today, like the Pilgrims of old, may be thankful that we have a government which recognizes its obligation to create conditions so that no human being will have to starve, so that everyone living within its borders may exercise his God given right of liberty of speech, of thought religion We must all bo happy because our country is not immediately sur-: rounded by a group of selfish.1 suspicious, designing nations as would be the ease were we a part of the Old World.

Might as well ask what ocean is without water; a tree without roots; or Christmas with out Santa Claus. Truth is. that although most people could do without the vitally necessary "white and meat of the gobbler, the association of the uli ivt i 1.11 1 I'. 1 11 IS old as the day itself.

The day Thanksgiving had iU origin as far back as the year 1621 when, after the first harvest of the New England colonists. Governor Bradlord made provisions for the re joicing of the people by setting apart a day for prayer and praise, which was repeated often during the following years. During the revolution a day of national Thanksgiving was annually recommended by Congress. Washington appointed such a day in 1789 after the adoption of the constitution, and 1795 he appointed another day as Thanksgiving the general benefits and fare of tlu nation. Since 1864 the president of the United States has appointed the last Thursday of November as) Thanksgiving Day, and his proclamation has generally been followed by similar proclamations from the governors of the fit CS.

It was but fitting, even at that early date, to celebrate i the occasion with a sumptuous feast Ju as it is today customary for hx on some special and joyous occasion to mark it with a well prepared meal of festive proportions. Tradition has it that feast hunters for the first Thanksgiving were sent out Gov- 1 crnor Bradford and they returned with a large supply of game. Indians were invited, 91 of whom attended the festival that lasted for several days. Un the tables at the feast were 1 many wild turkeys, common in woods of Massaehuetts. page 2, Col.

3. for I the Continued on Fredericksburg: C. Of C. Monthly News Letter Fredericksburg and Gillespie County has benefited by the extensive publicity campaign conducted by the Chamber of Commerce for the hunting season. The number of inquiries for hunting information, hunting leases and the number of hunters placed far exceeded any previous year With the cooperation of the ranchers, the Chamber ol Commerce was able to have a complete list of the hunting leases available for hunters who were able to find suitable locations for their hunt before the season opened and since that time.

This service has kept many hunters in this locality who otherwise would have gone to adjoining counties. To further accomodate the hunters the office was kept open all day Sunday. Many requests for later hunts are still on file and coming in daily so that the outlook is excellent for the ure six week season. The office handled the hunting preserve record books thereby enabling personal contact wiUi ill land owners having hunting privileges. At the end of the hunt ing season, these books will be of further benefit by enabling us to have a complete rocord of the number of hunters, their addresses and the number of game killed on each preserve.

This will be an excellent reference for next hunting season. The county maps issued by the Chamber of Commerce were off the press before the hunting season opened and distri- Coutinued on page 2, Col. 1..
