"Why shouldn't I be? It's Thanksgiving night. My hunger is I feel quite well. Though I did cat a lot, You never caa lell. I hope that the world Has been Just as As I have been thankful This Thanksgiving day. Becker.

I am thankful this day of Thanksgiving for all the blessings of this hever-to-be-forgotten year, 1930. I am thankful that our country is at peace. I am thankful, most of all, that I was born in this golden land of promise, this land of equal rights, and equal chances for all. I am thankful for the American ideals, which nothing can dim. I am thankful for all American institutions, schools, churches, Inventions, and especially for my own Christian home and my kind, loving Habegar.

What, you ask, have I to be thankful for? lYes, many things both great and small Twould be a task to list them all. First comes mother-love and father- care, There are brothers strong and sisters' fair, Health and food follow these, Then there's sky, birds, and trees, There's each day dawning bright, And the hours of rest that come at night; The kindness shown us by every friend Which to many mean sacrifices In "the end. These things and many, many more, We all should be thankful for; Let us then show God in every way. How grateful we are this Thanksgiving Declamatory Contest.

A home Is something that everyone really wants, but does he show his love for It? No, It's only a place to which he goes for something to eat and a place to sleep.

But In later years he realizes how Important that home was to him hi his young and foolish days. Another thing I have to be thankful for also centers around the home.
