It is a heritage from the old Puritans. In 1621 Govemovr Bradford, after a bounti- ful harvest, following a period of depression, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. Elder Brewster and Captain Miles Standish and other noted Puritan wonthies were there, and also Chief Massassoil and ninety Indian retainers. Their religious services were followed by a mighty feast, which lasted three days. Our gcelebration this year, counting Arm- istice Day, will cover three days, but we hope that the feasting will not dominate thoughts. 1 iTurgenief nresendtnrl nu uyH~l-\ .. lune aaaress.
