Ityiesday, November 21, 1961 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH Page Five McHENRY CIVIL DEFENSE John J. Shay, Director Phone 385-2404 If the fire dispatcher were •o pick up the phone and hear a mother calling for help to free a trapped child, he would summon aid from the fire department and send them to the scene. The local fire department does not have a rescue squad. They answer these emergency rails because they are men dedicated to aiding the <wnmunity. However, should such a call be received during an enemy attack or a natural disaster, this help would not be available. „ The fire services would be on datv extinguishing the many conflagrations sure to occur at such a time. Who then would.,perform this neces-. sary service0 Who would answer the call of the desperate mother? v VjThe civil defense organization now is developing a rescuo service. This service will be used only during a national emergency or a natural disaster such as the tornado Mc- Henry had in 1958. not for automobile accidents or other more common accidents. The rescue service will do .iust what the name implies. Volunteers, fer taking the training course have planned, will be available in emergencies tc free people trapped in buildings throughout the town. We have sound film strips and an interesting course planned. Volunteers will receive training in all phases of rescue work. James Widen, will head the rescue service division. In the weeks ahead we will iraje&se to Ihe newspapers stories regarding this course and several other courses vital to civil defense. Enrollment for these courses must be made by the middle of December. The bourses will begin soon after Jan. 1, 1962. If you would like to volunteer for this worthwhile program, send your name, address and phone number u>: McHen- Civil Defense, McHe:.ry, Illinois. Begin to servo yourself and your community NOW! Mr. Shay, the dinvtor, will be most happy to discuss this with any interested person. His number is at the top of this column. Please call hiri if there are. any questions. TUARIES EMIL H.

EDITORIAL THE FIRST THANKSGIVING Two Indians with an English accent deserve much of the credit for the first Thanksgiving in America. They taught the Plymouth colonists how to make a horiie in the New World and helped them establish a peace that lasted for more than 50 years. The first to approach the colonists was Samoset, a chief of the Pemaquid Indians. He walked into the colony one doy in March, 1621, and unsettled the settlers by addressing them in English. Samoset. it turned out, had earlier met some English fishermen along the coast of Maine and learned some of the language from them. Two weeks later Samoset dropped in with his friend Squanto. a well-travelled brave of the Pawtuxet tribe. Squanto had been to England twice, once after having been kid napped and sold as a slave in Spain by an English sea cap" tain. He had returned to America in 1619. Samoset introduced the colonists to Massasoit, chief of the Plymouth area. With Squanto acting as interpreter, the chief and the Pilgrims concluded a treaty of friendship thai lasted until Massasoit died in 1661. Meanwhile Squanto -went to live with the colonists, teaching them how to plant corn, pumpkins and beans and showing them where to fish. That year the Pilgrims had a bountiful harvest and Governor William Bradford declared the celebration that became the first Thanksgiving. Post Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. Along with our greetings, we urge you to take a moment's time for meditation on what we should be thankful for. Our health and success would of course be one of the first things to come to our minds.

And frankly, he wondered if any motor car could live up to the compliments that have come the way of this new "car of cars". Well, he has just spent thirty minutes at the wheel--and the evidence is unmistakable. Exhibit A: the way it looks. Inside and out, Cadillac styling has an undeniable sense of "rightness" about it. And its colors and fabrics are all master touches of elegance and luxury. Exhibit B: the way it rides and handles. Boulevard or back trail, this one takes the road with incredible ease. Steering is little more than a gesture . . . and the car's ride is so level and smooth and quiet that it seems almost to float over the highway. Exhibit C: the way it's built. The car is crafted to the most meticulous standards that can be placed over the manufacture of an automobile--and more than 1400 inspections now guard the production of every model. Here is quality that can be seen, and felt and sensed. The verdict, of course, is indisputable. This is the zenith of sixty years of fine-car design and engineering. This is a Cadillac among .Cadillacs. We suggest, however, that you visit your dealer's showroom soon and act as your own jury. He'll be happy to present the case for Cadillac at any time.
