When these boll reach maturity, which are from ~ to 10 inches in diameter, bur~ t open, and '"hen the boll is \;vide open, the cotton is ready for picking. The Sea I land variety ha long silky fibers. In the upland varietie , the fibers are shorter, and somewhat coarser.

For many centuries before the Chri stian era, cotton goods were manufactured in India. _Clothing then~ as now, con i ted chiefly of vegetable products. "iVIore than 2,000 year . before Europe had conceived the idea of applying modern indu try to the manufacture of cotton, India had matured a system of handspinning, weaving, and dying, which, during that vast period received no recorded improvement. The people thouo-h remarkable for their intelligence whilst Europe wa in a state of barbari sm, made no approximation to the mechanical operations of modern times." Ginning.

We Should Be Thankful Our colonial fathers set for u a good example of Thankfulne s, pi ety, and prayerful spirit. Believing in religion, they wanted a full expression of those basic forces, because they believed that the piritual interests were more important in building a great country~ than financial resources and material gain. They beli eved theirs was a religious mission to the ew "'VI' orld. \Ve should be thankful for such leader hip, for such examples, and immortal influence. Their purpo e wa to afford its people the La rgest amount of civil liberty con istent with sobriety, integrity, and general well-being. America has had its trials, and ha stood the test of some ordeal pretty welL It has exempli fied a fine spirit for the res~ of th.e w?rld in tryi ng to li ~e in peace with its neighbor .

We will also earnestl y pray for d to protect our boys in the Armed Service, and re urn them uninjur d t those whom they love. \Vhen the Pilgrims in the li ttle settlement of Plymouth, Massachusetts, fir st observed the custom of Thanksgivi ng, 323 year ago, to give thanks to God for a bountiful harvest, only a mall band of hardy Pilgrims were pre ent. This yea r, 1944, on Thanksgiving Day, millions of men and women at home, as well as millions of doughboys in the four corners of the world, will feel grateful for the custom set by our forefathers, 323 years ago, as they plotted a course, which has helped to steer the peoples of this nation jnto paths of peace and plenty. And we believe we shall continue to enjoy freedom and prosperity as long as we trust the God of those who braved the dangers of the mighty deep, and a country infested with savages and wild beasts, to establish a land of liberty · and freedom for all peoples. Use of Electrically Propelled Buses and Trucks Would Save Gasoline C. C. Furnas, director of research, Airplane Division, Curtis-Wright _ Corporation, Buffalo, New York, in a recent · article stated: "Petroleum i the most critical fu el material in America. The amount in sight is only about a fourteenyear supply.-The day will come when new sources of energy must be tapped;" Why not use electricity? As early as the year 1900; "town cars" were propelled by electricity, .and today, with our hard- urfaced highways, we believe that it i po ible to build cars, bus , and truck , that commute only on main routes, to operate ucce sfully on electric batt ries.

On hould be prett: ure that the one whom he i following is travelin(l' in the ri(l'ht directi n. It i. natural for u . to follow others to a certain extent but, we should be careful.-'' lt i an in tinct in ur nature to follm: the track pointed out by a few leaders; we are gre ·arious animals in a moral a well a a phy.ical en e and we are addicted to routine, becauF;e it is always a ier to follow the opinions of ther than to rea on and judge for our lves." Ofttimes, accident and injurie are caused by following other rather than u ing c mmon- ense. \\ e have such examples every da 7 - men, women, boy and girl crossing the street or highwa r becawe others are doing it, instead of \-\·aiting for the green light;- Driving fast because others are dri in fast; whipping around a car on the highway becau e the fellow ahead of you took a chance and made it. \Vorkmen oftentime do their work the unsafe way b ecause omeone e1 e did it that way, instead of think ing before t hey act and then acting afely. - Following the goat may lead to the slau hter pen. Better be ure that you a re safe, than orry. A great many people have realized, when it was too late, that following other~ led to misery and disgrace. Animals are endowed with in tinct and human beings with commonsense, as a mean of protection against dan ger. Animals act upon instinct and are cautious at all times , while human beings fail to u e common- en e even for their own p rotection, and the result is injury or death . A ery fooli sh thing to do.

It will be recalled the playground was "made" on Ch.ampion property north of the mill, north and outh of vVebster Avenue and Hunter Avenue and B Street. It contains about eight acres. Work on it was not completed until after other recreation centers, had opened, but it no sooner had been prepared before thousands of children and adults began flocking there for baseball and other sports and games. It became the play center for a large section of Hamilton, North of Nlain Street, and also was the scene of the city wide Junior Olympics in late August. A city report, just completea, show that in the 14 playgrounds, the total attendance wa 174,193 of whi h 27,688 made good u e . of the Champion Field. This total was reached by adding the 15,4 8 attendan e of children at daily play ses ions on the field 1 l ,000 who attended the movie which were provided ex lusively . by hampi n for 13 weeks, and 1,200 who attended the Olympics.
