Get Into The Holiday Spirit - Don’t Be One
Why We Give Thanks:
We’re a Free People
IS THERE any American holiday quite like Thanksgiving
as an expression of the way we live?
What are we thankful for? For our churches and temples
where we can worship according to our conscience and con-
victions? For our shools and colleges and universities, for
our newspapers and magazines and books, our radio and
television, our movies and theater?
Certainly. And thankful for the Constitution that guar-
antees them free expression of ideas and opinions.
Modern housing, sleek cars, television sets, a wonder-
land of household appliances and comforts—thank-
ful for them? Sure thing. And for the free competi-
tive society that puts them within our reach—not the
reach of a ruling elite but of the average American.
Some people think we put too much emphasis on material
blessings in our observance of Thanksgiving. Actually it
is a curious fact that in 1621, when the Pilgrims celebrated
their abundant harvest with their first Thanksgiving feast,
they held no religious service—at least the official records
of the period make no mention of one. Their second Thanks-
giving two years later, however, was religious as well as
festive.
But on the matter of materialism—Americans really
aren’t guilty of overstressing this aspect of the fourth
Thursday in November. They give thanks not alone for
the good life but for the way of life—their free society—
that makes it possible. And did you ever see a church empty
of worshippers on Thanksgiving Day?
A Primer
On Communism
(Twenty-sixth of a series of ques-
tions and answers from A Primer
on Communism by George W.
Cronyn, edited by Howard Oiseth.
Reprinted by ARPS with the pub-
lishers permission.)
QESTION—How were the Soviet
*- trade unions deprived of their
rights?
ANSWER — In 1918, at the
start of the two years’ civil war,
Lenin decreed a series of “war
measures” which laid the founda-
tion for regimented labor in the
Soviet Union. These included
“work norms” — required stand-
ards of performance in every job
and industry — piece-rate wage
scales with bonuses for overful-
fillment of norms, and sanctions
imposed on violators of “labor
discipline.”
By 1920 the Bolshevik regime
had greatly impaired the inde-
pendence of the trade unions
and within a decade their free-
dom was totally destroyed by
Stalin. Thereafter, trade union
officers were Party-approved, or
Communist Party members;
plant committees were dominated
by Party cadres (active agents
of the Party); and trade union
policies were determined by the
Party and State.
During WWII, workers were
subject to penalties under the
criminal code for minor offenses
—tardiness, absence, and so on.
These were relaxed after the war
but severe labor discipline is still
maintained. In 1959, so-called
“comradely courts” were being
set up in all industrial establish-
ments to try petty offenders.

chance to snin out some lively,

remarkably likable cast of pa-
jama-makers a chance to cavort
exuberantly in and out of their

The original New York cast
starred Janis Paige,. John Raitt,
Eddie Foy, Jr., and Carol Haney.
The film version included all of
these except Janis Page whose
role was filled by Doris Day. The
cast of the college company in-
cludes ten eye-filling girls and
six good looking lads, who are
directed by Herman Middleton,
who heads the college’s depart-
ment of drama and speech. Every-
one in the cast is thoroughly ex-
perienced in the theater.
The Theater of Woman’s Col-
lege draws on the male enrollment
at nearby Chapel Hill to file male
roles in its productions. It’s series
of adult plays and children’s
dramas are booked for appear-
ances all over the state and draw
a seasonnal audience of some
35,000 people. This is the second
overseas tour by a Woman’s Col-
lege show group under sponsor-
ship by the American Educational
Theater Association and USO.
One company presented “The
Woman” in the Pacific Command

“Freedom Bonds.” No, it’s not
a new name—just a reminder

America strong. Buy an extra

PLAIN TALK
Have you noticed the trend in recent years toward
popular use of profanity? Not too long ago, women did
not use profanity and men who were habitual profaners
were considerate enough to desist in the presence of women.
Today, only a few fail to engage in the practice.
New reasons for profane usage are in evidence. In the
past, it was used only by the uneducated. Now, the educated
and refined employ it freely. It provides strength and
emphasis in areas of weakness and insecurity. It indicates
intellectual freedom on the part of the user. It is a con-
venient vehicle to express socially, frustrations created by
a materialistic philosophy.
Acceptance of profanity is so widespread that after
preaching a sermon at a former station, I was congratulated
with: “That was a..... good sermon”. The danger of
profanity is that it dishonors God and the good things He
has created. Tragically, it separates its user from the
only “Name under heaven given among men, where by
we must be saved”.
VCO Wide A
Club ffetoA
By NJ. Studebaker
The NCO Wives’ Club semi-annual installation dinner
was held on Tuesday, October 30th, in the Reading Room
of the NCO Club, with Mrs. Josephine Ellison, Mrs. Betty
Jane Miner, and Mrs. Julia Weil appearing as guests of
honor. Acting as official hostess for the retiring executive
board, which is credited with the planning and preparations
for the banquet, Mrs. Edie Hinderliter greeted our guests.
A sparkling menu of Consomme1®'
Caolestine, Crab-meat Cocktail,
and Filet Mignon created by our
chef, Mr. Klaus Bauer, was served
by candlelight and accompanied
by appropriate dinner wines. The
fiery presentation of Baked Al-
aska added a final touch. Vases
of chrystanthemums bedecked the
banquet tables, with interesting
place-cards fashioned from aut-
umn leaves, which retiring secre-
tary Mrs. Jeanne Mercer had im-
ported from Maine. Mrs. Mercer
can also be complimented for the
lovely centerpiece, a small oak
“tree,” laden with leaves of brown
and gold.
After a formal introduction of
incoming club officers, names were
drawn for the door prize, a twen-
ty-three-piece china tea set, which
was won by Mrs. Madeline Derby.
The NCO Wives were greatly
pleased to have had Mrs. Ellison,
Mrs. Miner, and Mrs. Weil as
guests at this, one of the high-
lights of our club year.
