observation means more there than in any other part of country It may almost he called the day of the year in New England it what in in old England a day f family reunions and family frusta The church bolls ring in the morning on Sunday and at Christmas and the people wend their way to the vioes return home afterwards and get ready their dinners or prepare for dinner elsewhere and grandma welcome all their children and grandchildren to their board some coming from just across the way and others perhaps from far distant homes For no matter how far he may wander the New feels it duty besides a

in thousands of homes turkey and cranberry sauce and other Thanksgiving delicacies are eaten by kit and kin It is a day of family communion and rejoicings and real thanksgivings a day when un kind thought are put aside and each one tarns to his neighbor his brightest side But with all the rejoicing and feast ing and thanksgiving there are very few who stop to question why this day is observed in this way or in fact why it is at all and even of those who wonder there are not many who inquire But there must have been a beginning and a reason for the beginning and indeed there was but to find

turn ed out over well The people were mainly dependent for their provisions upon England but a long expected ship laden with supplies had not come and the winter was hard and a famine was threatened The food in hand became less and less as the people strained their eyes for the sail that did not appear The quantity of food allowed each person became smaller and smaller as day by day went by and the prospect became moat dismal Starvation stared the people in the face and their hopes at the low- est ebb when the from England laden with provisions was sighted en tering the harbor according to
