Hmericans Ifoave flDucb Cause Co <5ive Gbanhs Gbie U>ear By the He v. Marion J. Creeper "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord"—HO run*, the opening line of that ancient hymn of praise gen- erally known as the 92nd ISalm. Tins ancient Insight of the Psalmist |N still true and valid. In two senses, it IN a good thing for anybody to do—the giving of thanks to the Great Giver of all thing*. It IN good in the sense of being right or proper. It IN good in the sense of being worthwhile; or re- warding to him who give** the thankH. Above all the other peoples of the earth, we American* have abundant and urgent cause for giving thanks this year. Truly, it IK good for us, on our national day of Thanksgiving to give thanks, both publicly and privately. It is good for us to do, because of what it does for us individually. It helps to save us from that meanness of spirit displayed in eareless Ingratitude. It saves us from that blight that shrivels the soul of all who, like the Rich Foot; give themselves up to smug and selfish enjoyment of their material possessions. It enlarges the enjoyment of life and deepens the satis- factions that come from the multiude of commonplace bless- ings that so often are overlooked or forgotten. Such bless- ings as are suggested by a blind beggar's response to a coin dropped in his cup: "Thank you, sir; thank God for your eyes." It is a good thing for us as a nation to give thanks because of the way in which It creates and strengthens those moral qualities that make the social life of men possible; such qualities as understanding, good will and trust. _. "Oh. that men would give thanks unto the Lord for his goodness to the children of men." It Is a good thing for all of us to do this year with deep humility and in all sincerity.

WAR FUND ZONE NEARS QUOTA IN LAST DRIVE

With more than $7,000 still to collect before reaching the quota of $34,900 for zone 7,1 chairmen in the six eommuni-i ties i\r\d Mitchel Field arc still working to once again bring the zone "over the top", Dr. Raymond Maure, high school '• principal and zone chairman of the National War Fund, an­nounced today. Two communi­ties in the zone have already exceeded their quotas.

The total collection for the en-' tire zone has reached that $27,136 mark, Dr. Maure's reports show. Collections were to be made at the football games at the Hempstead high school field on Wednesday and Thursday.

Lakeview, with $655 collected; against a $600 quota and East Hempstead wRh a collection of $941 against a $750 quota, are the two areas already over their quo­tas. Mrs. R. W. Pittman is chair­man at East Hempstead and E. G. Scharnkem at Lakeview.

Hempstead, Trustee Ernest A. j Ashdown, chairman, and Mrs. Hal-' sey Wood, co-chairman, have col-| lected $13,000 towards the village's; $15,000 quota and Garden City, J. C. Norris, chairman, has collected $10,009 against its $15,000 quota. ;

Other collections in the seventh1

zone are East Meadow, Frank E. Church, chairman, $550 on a $750 quota; West Hempstead, George Buck, chairman, $900 on a $1,300 quota and Mitchel Field, Major J. M. Miller, chairman, $1,081 on a $1,500 quota.

Hmericans Ifoave flDucb Cause Co <5ive Gbanhs Gbie U>ear

By the He v. Marion J. Creeper "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord"—HO

run*, the opening line of that ancient hymn of praise gen­erally known as the 92nd ISalm. Tins ancient Insight of the Psalmist |N still true and valid. In two senses, it IN a good thing for anybody to do—the giving of thanks to the Great Giver of all thing*. It IN good in the sense of being right or proper. It IN good in the sense of being worthwhile; or re­warding to him who give** the thankH.

Above all the other peoples of the earth, we American* have abundant and urgent cause for giving thanks this year. Truly, it IK good for us, on our national day of Thanksgiving to give thanks, both publicly and privately.

It is good for us to do, because of what it does for us individually. It helps to save us from that meanness of spirit displayed in eareless Ingratitude. It saves us from that blight that shrivels the soul of all who, like the Rich Foot; give themselves up to smug and selfish enjoyment of their material possessions.

It enlarges the enjoyment of life and deepens the satis­factions that come from the multiude of commonplace bless­ings that so often are overlooked or forgotten. Such bless­ings as are suggested by a blind beggar's response to a coin dropped in his cup: "Thank you, sir; thank God for your eyes."

It is a good thing for us as a nation to give thanks because of the way in which It creates and strengthens those moral qualities that make the social life of men possible; such qualities as understanding, good will and trust. _.

"Oh. that men would give thanks unto the Lord for his goodness to the children of men." It Is a good thing for all of us to do this year with deep humility and in all sincerity.

With the Victory war bond drive about half over the Hempstead committee has passed the $500,000 mark to­wards the quota of $1,500,000 but with the coming bond show and the increased tempo of the campaign, Hempstead is sure to again exceed its quota, Joseph J.

On the committee with Israel-son are Moe Roberts, Edward Jones, Bernard Pugartz. Iaador Cohen, Jack Perman, Sidney Filer, Theodore Prober, Jack Jaffe, Je­rome Baumann, Benjamin Guto-witz and Harris Rosenbaum.
