Packard Car Continues Its Record Production The Packard Motor Car company is continuing to build and deliver cars at a rate never before approached in its 28 years' history. September was re- ported as Packard's biggest month. Now comes word that production was carried through October at the same high rate and demand is such that the present high schedules probably will have to be carried through the entire winter. Shipments of cars by the factory in October alone exceeded those of any entire year up to 1920 with the excep- tions of the years 1916 and 1917. Ship- ments of both September and October exceeded those for all of the first 11 years of Packard history.

E. Woodruff, of Darlington, S. C., over the Thanksgiving holidays. Thanksgiving Pageant Given by Pupils of Country Day School The celebration of Thanksgiving at the North Shore Country Day school took the form of a pageant written and acted by the children of the sixth grade, and presented to the rest of the school on Wednesday morning, be- fore the school closed for the Thanks- giving recess. The plan of the pageant was to show the "story of corn," in the form of harvest festivals of four of the great civilizations of the earth. The first scene was in Egypt, in the Temple of Ra. The Pharaoh, his queen and their regal procession of- fered thanks in the temple for the abundant harvest which the river Nile had given them. The second scene pictured the Greek harvest festival. Greek maidens brought offerings to Adonis, the God of Sowing, and mourned his departure to the underworld, symbolizing the coming of winter. The third episode showed some Arabs solemnizing their harvest rite, called, "burying the old man." The Shiek called the tribes together to bring corn to the grave of the "old man." Bringing the tradition and Thanks- giving down to modern times, the last scene showed a group of Pilgrims preparing for their festival dinner with the Indians, and offering up the psalm of Thanksgiving to the Lord.
