There are so many things to be thankful for, so many whom we all owe our gratitude this year of 1945. For the first time, after long waiting, it will be the whole family that can seated at the festive table in many homes. In some, it is true, there will be a vacant chair. And we can give thnaks to those silent, if eloquent, legions, just as we offer our prayers at the safe return of many more. Perhaps, for a day, it will be better to think of all the simple, homely things that now mean so much—for the har.vest, for the happy, healthy youngsters, for a measure of security and relax ation. for the food itself and for all the blessings that are enjoyed by no other people in the world. With all we have, not only of the body but of the spirit, we have real cause this year to celebrate this typically American holiday.
