The third firm, Phele & Lesser

governments since 1947, "the bulk

cording to the Register. Both of

employees.
Even General France, who has
treated U. S. military representa-

ner, has paid $75,000 to get in on
the U. S. gravy train.
Dr. Will Durant said in Mt.

The many taxpayers interested in
economy might find it effective to
use the same methods to reduce
government spending that the na-
tions do who want U.S. funds. That
would be to hire some former gov-
ernment employees, who know the l
ropes, and pay them a fat fee tel
use their influence to reduce gov-
ernment spending instead of in-
creasing it.

Can almost smell the turkey in the
oven, the sweet potatoes and the]
pumpkin pie. Ten years ago F.D.R t
bowed out on declaring the date
of Thanksgiving as Congress offi-
cially designated the 4th Thursday}
as the holiday.
"My friend" nearly set off a revo- I
lution two years earlier, you recall, t
by proclaiming the 3rd ThursdayI
as the holiday, in order to accom-
modate businessmen who wanted ai
longer shopping season between
holidays. Some states set their own
dates. Thus if one traveled fast and
often enough he had quite a run-
ning festival that year.
No one has ever blamed anyone
but the president for the confusion.
Few ever realized that the date of
this special day fluctuated for years
with the whims of states and other
presidents. It took a century to get
it established.
The Pilgrims had their first f~t~-
val in 1621. The Massachus~t~'~ ~,:'.'
colony had its first in 16.~. but it
didn't become annual uctil in 1680.
Connecticut first celel~rated in 1639.
and annually after 1647, excerpt for
1675, when it skipped. Th~ Dutch
in New York hod their initial ob.
servance in 1644 a:~d occasio~a!ly
thereafter.
The Continental Congress declar-
ed occasional days of thanksgivin~
during the Revolution. Pres':den~
Washington declared a national holi-
day Nov. 26, 1789, and another in
1795. Lincoln fixed it as the last
Thursday in November in 1864.
Other presidents followed his choice.
But now it's settled and along
with enjoying its sociability and
good living let us hope we remem-
ber that it has a deeper and more
significant meaning.
We have a little turkey problem
picked up recently:
A flock of turkeys are in a pen,
with a fence dividing the flock. If
one turkey with a great flapping
of wings manages to get over from
the left side of the fence to the
right side, there will be the same
number on each side. If, however.
a turkey vaults over the fence from
the right side to the left side, the
left side will have twice as many
turkeys as the right side.
How many turkeys on each side in
the first place?
Arithmetic has always eluded me.
For correct answer consult Roy
Bowman.
The steering committee working
on the school problems in town
deserves a great deal of credit for
their interest and endeavors. They
also deserve the support of every
citizen. Theirs is an investigation
system, doing the red tape work of
learning what the school needs.
what the public wants, what other
communities have done, what solu-
tlons found elsewhere might fit our
local situation.
The small group named at the
public session had our work thrown
into their laps. It is our children
about which we are concerned, our
money, our schools, not just theirs.
No one jumps up and volunteers
for these Jobs. Some one nominates
some one else. It is in a way a
tribute but it is also a responsibillty
and the persons nominated would
be criticized if they fumbled around
for alibis to exctu~ them.
This group has been meeting hour
after hour. If they are to do the
bdob well they must forego social

UzUITl~l~lr 1~i1~ ~[1, absence from the last classes before !Peoria, Ill called on Mrs F M
I~'~ //. ~/ . # f a vacation and the first classes fol-iMcGaw Friday. He was a member
ananl, aucator i lowing [of the party to Mexico in 1950.
"Education should preserve the!
best of the past and lead to crea-i
tion of the new on the foundationRALPH SEZ:
of the past," said Dr. Haridas Mu-!
zumdar, in speaking to the AAUW
members last Wednesday evening, i
Dr. Muzumdar based his informal'
talk on a portion of his new book
on Gandhi which will be publish-
ed next year by Scribners This~
book will be a biography of the~
great leader's ideas, their origins!
and their impact upon the 20th
century, says the author.
"Because the Mahatma was so
great in the political field people
neglect the contributions he has
made in the educational field,"
commented Dr. Muzumdar, who
rates Gandhi as one of the greatest
of pedagogues. "He was a great
educator because of his sensitivity
to the plight of the underprivileged
children of the untouchables . . .
To Gandhi the law of truth and
that of love were intertwined. The
former could best be understood
through the love of little children."
The speaker holds that it is crim-
inal to stunt the growth of a child
by limiting him to what he learns
from his text books But greater
education than this demands dy-
namic and inspired teachers whose
aim is to perpetuate the values in-
herent in the culture of which the
child is a part.
"The main business of educa-
tion according to Gandhi is char-
acter building--the making of men
--the mastery of min~ over pas-
sions. The 'freedom' toward which
it should strive is a capacity to im-
pose restraint upon oneself," says
this friend of the late leader.
"Gandhi's idea of education in-
cluded not only the development
of the body, mind and intellect but
also of the soul. This spirituality
might be called the education of
the heart " I
Applying this concretely, Dr. Mu- i
zumdar challenged, "When you
read to a child see that the content
is of the highest quality. You can
read about a man named Jesus as
well as about one named Smith
who robbed a bank. You need not
steer away from words like God,
soul, non-violence. T o o m u c h
reading today is empty."
And aiming directly at parents,
in case they forget they also are
teachers, Dr. Muzumdar conclud-
ed, "We are not going to solve the
problems of the world or of educa-
tion by putting the child into
school when he is seven. By that
time the child's pattern is already
formed."
Miss Elizabeth Isaacs was hostess
to the membership that evening,
assisted by Mrs. Mark Hutchinson
during the social hour.
At the fall of the year,
As Thanksgiving returns,
We're taking time out
From our "business concerns"
To give thanks that are due
In a very great measure
To good friends like you,
Who make business a pleasure.
