24 the examiner Friday Nov 24 1978 Helped elderly celebrate hohday NEW YORK AP When Darlene Walsh moved into Ster ling Kan about year ago she noticed the large number of elderly among the population of 201 and began to worry about how they would celebrate the United States Thanksgiving Thursday she was host at dinner for 700 financed by local merchants and staged by the community The food is just every where she said Wednesday as she surveyed the 27 large tur keys 40 pounds of cranberries 50 pounds of sweet potatoes pi in herkitchen The turkeys were hauled to local baker overnight for roast ing in large oven The dinner was served at the Sterling ele mentary school It makes you feel pretty darn nice Mrs Walsh said They must have felt like this when the Pilgrims did it At the Colonial Church in Edina Minneapolis suburb Thanksgiving service followed the form used by the Pilgrims in Plymouth more than 300 years ago There were men in Pilgrim costumes drummers summoning people to worship and kernels of corn for people to take home For some today was not day to celebrate Several US Indian groups called for fasting instead of feasting There isnt much we can be thankful for said Ted Means brother of Russell Means an American Indian Movement leader now injail Ted Means led small party of AIM members to Wounded Knee 817 Site of an 1890 mas sacre of Sioux Indians and 1973 siege during which two persons died and 600 Indians were arrested He said Indians will rejoin the Thanksgiving celebration when they have control of their own destiny Charitable groups across the US meanwhile prepared spe cial meals for people who other wise would not have much of holiday The Seattle Vegetarian Society planned potluck ve getarian Thanksgiving feast It called for turkey liberation and urged people to reject the holidays traditional identification with the suffering and death of millions of innoeent creatures Having cor undvoidoble burden in US TOKYO lAP Decayed railways costly air travel too few buses and too many au tomobilcs thats the US transportation system in the eyes of one hinesc joumalist who visited America Class differences in America apparently are not reflected rimaiily by whether one has car or not but by whether one has good car or bad car or one car or many cars journal ist Li Yenning told newspaper readers in China country wherc personal use of autos is virtually nonexistent Li member of Chinese joumalists delegation that toured the United States for three weeks wrote series on American transport in Pekings official newspaper Peoples Daily Ile said he was told that hav ing car was an unavoidable burden in the United States vicious circle has for med he wrote The more public transportation remains undeveloped the more private tars there are and the more development of public trans portation cant advance Li said that his only Ameri can train trip from Washing ton to Philadelphia was unforgettable At the entrance to the Washington station you simply couldnt tell it was railroad station because you couldnt see any travellers gt ing in or out he wrote HIDE ROCKY He enjoyed the lrains air conditioning and found the seats comfortable but riders were so few that you could imagine it was running at big loss The trains speed was faster than our countrys railroads but the strong shaking was something we had not ex pericnced in hina or number of trips on European trains Coffee spilled out of the cups The roadbed certainly was in rather mess Ii wrote Surprisingly the American friends accompanying us said this WashingtonNew York sec tion of railroad was Americas best He said that in Europe and America because of com petition from cars and planes railways are dccayi ng This wasnt news to us But that they had decayed to such degree in America this was somehwat unexpected WHY MAKE It IIIAIRS He said the capitalists who grew immensely rich from railways in the past dont see any profit in renovating them mw and the govcmmcnt is more interested in spending money on highways Air transportation is frequent with good and widespread connections Ii wrote but flights are ex pensive great gift idea leather bags Reg $45 each Save $4
