WATER SHORTAGES Although water supply reservoirs in northern and central Illinois were at normal seasonal levels at the end of October, some southern Illinois communities were experiencing water shortages, according to William C. Ackermann, chief of the Illinois State Water Survey. For the last three months, precipitation throughout Illinois except the northwestern corner has been more than one inch below normal. South of a line from Quincy to Paris the three-month precipitation was more than three inches below normal, and in the region encompassed by a line connecting Paris, Mattoon, Vandalia and Lawrenceville, the three-month departure exceeded five inches. EDITORIAL ON THANKSGIVING "Being thus arrived in good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven, who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth. . ." Thus did William Bradford, governor of the small colony at Plymouth, describe the landing of the Pilgrims. "They cried unto the Lord," said Bradford, "and He heard their voice, and looked on their adversity." Shortly after, the Pilgrims made their Compact, which began "In the name, of God, Amen." Half of the Pilgrims died that first winter of 1620, but when the time came in the spring for the Mayflower to return to England, not one of the survivors returned, and none wanted to. Alan Villiers, captain of the Mayflower II which crossed the Atlantic to America in 1957, said the Pilgrims had "the hearts of lions." Their "strong faith in God," he said, "had 'planted' the firm foundation of such a settlement that flourished and grew, prospered, spread, and in due course, became a nation." That same courage the Pilgrims found in blessing "the God of Heaven" inspires Americans of 1960. And nowhere can we give finer expression to the gratitude we can all feel for their example than in a House of God this Thanksgiving.
