Thanksgivin' day is here again, an' time f'r givin' special thanks, in spite o* th' many trials an' tribilations we've faced, this past year. There's always somethin't' be grateful f'r no matter what th' hardships be, as this ol' granny well knows. Some folks seem t' feel there's no need t' be more than glad they have what they have, an' charge it all t' Lady Luck, 'r their own effort, but wi' all th' years gone by, we elders feel sure that th* Good Lord has somethin't' do wi' it all. Hard times face us, ye c'n be sure, but it's a goin' t' take time t' heal our coun­ try's ills, an' pull out o' th' mire we've allowed our­ selves t' git into. It's a goin' t' take a lot o' patience, an' faith in th' belief that new tactics will pull us t'gether, an' correct a lot o' th' mistakes made in th' past decade. This ol' lady, along wi' me peers, know it didn't happen o'er night, an' th' balloon that's about t' burst in this state o' economy, b'gan t' inflate after th' war, back in th' forties an' fifties. It's a goin't' take a heap o' doin', on th' part o' all o' us, in cooperation wi' plans t' make a better world f'r us, all. As we partake o' th' good things, this Thanksgivin' day, may we, all, be con­ scious o' those who don't fare so well, those who are hun­ gry an' starviriin parts o' this world. May we offer prayers that the' future '11 bring relief wi' th' efforts t' help, an' monies contributed reach th' needy. Now, wi' a prayer in me heart, this granny wishes one an' all, a happy time this holiday, an' many more t' come. Wi' th' ghosties an' goblins back in their lairs f'r another year, an' th' traditional turkey a playin' th' leadin' role, a setting' th' stage f'r a Happy Thanksgivin', this granny signs off f'r now, wi' wishes f'r a grand Thanksgivin' day.
