Hut t don't know that it’s so silly, at that. I .at of people who ought to oe actually aint, q the truth were known, they just think it came about as a natural smile of nature. But, even so you ought to be thankful. You’ve often heaid that old saying that the basest of all sins is the sin of in gratitude. Os all things, every crea ture ought to be thankful to his Maker You can even be thankful to an old yallei dog under some circum stances. ****** I il just take it for granted that a» individuals we are thankful. If you aint you ought to be ashamed of > out self. The poorest of us has some thing that merits deep gratitude Think of how much better off you ate than somebody else you know. As a rule there's always somebody that’s worse off than you, no matter how iow down the economic ladder you've fallen ****** Take us as Tar Heels. Why oughtn’t every North Carolinian to be grateful this Thanksgiving? Or rather, why should we be? Os all the places or. America, we’ve had about as much as anybody else of the return of what somebody once called prosperity. Tiiink of the millions of dollars that nave been poured into this good State this year for a good tobacco and a good cctton crop. How many, many families have been able again to be come self-sustaining as the result of tnings that have happened in the past twelve months! 1 can just hear some codv saying something about the great horde still out of joßs. And heaven knows I m sorry for them folks But look at the other side to tee hew many folks have had their lot impioved on this year. You can't dump all these tobacco and cotton millions into one State's big lap with cut nearly everybody feeling some portion of it ****** Now, getting a little closer right down at home. Take Henderson, for a sample You aint forgot that white way that new paving on main street, those jingling cash registers that jin gle just a little oftener and with a lit tle more in ’em to jingle about, have vou? Course you aint. And while you re remembering about the main street, tinnk that your town has got all that without a cent of outlay of itself and not a cent more taxes laid on anybody's pocket book, except for about five thousand dollars for a lit tle bit of the lighting equipment, and that spread out over three vears.

FIREMEN RENOVATE SLEEPING QUARTERS Sleeping quarters of Henderson firemen have in the past few days been entirely renovated by the fire men themselves. The floor has been painted a dull oak color, while the ceiling and walls have been repainted also. With the additional room pro vided when a partition was torn out a year or more ago, and with the latest repairs made to the quarters, the firemen from now on will have much more commodious rooms for their use. While the repairs were under way, the men slept in the old municipal court room, but they have now abandoned that in preparation for its occupancy next week by the district office of the ERA.

Thinks Byrns To Be Next Speaker (Continued from Page One.) The Rayburn-ites assuredly are pro fessing to have more votes “sewed up’’ than they can depend on. For ex ample, they assert that, through deals they have made, they are certain of the big New York and Pennsylvania delegations. The testimony of mem bers of these very delegations proves that they are not so pledged; that they have, indeed preferences for Byrns. Indeed, it seems that Repre sentative James Mead of Buffalo, can didate for speaker, will cast his lot with Byrns, and will become Demo cratic floor leader. There is ground for belief that Ray burn will not have the solid support of his fellow Texans. Legislators and legislators - elect from other states than the Lone Star commonwealth boil over at the sug gestion of giving the speakership of the house of representatives to a Texan, with another Texan (Vice Pre sident John N. Garner) on the sena torial presiding officer’s rostrum. Re minders that Calvin Coolidge of Mas sachusetts was vice president at the same time that Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts was speaker fail to impress them. Disregarding this hint “Does Texas want everything?” they demand, furiously.
