It is the perfect American holiday because the citizens of all races and creeds can.wholeheartedly 41 participate in it. It suits the promise of rija Regretfully many of our fellow citizens this year have little reason for Thanksgiving. They are the unemployed, the partially employed, the needy aged and the hungry children of this land. It is a paradox that people in this country shild go hungry when granaries are filled to overflowing. The bread basket has once again yielded a record breaking harvest. How is it possible then for people among us to go hungry? But it happens andthat is a fact. Each one of us must shape the answer to that queston. In the meantime, you and,I have a sacred obligation, a religious duty, to help feed the hungry. Let us help our neighbors who are hungry by sharing some of the fruits of our good land with them. As you bring your children to religious schoolon Sunday, November 21, please bring along canned and boxed food which we shall collect and give to SHARE. 0 '' - ki ?;^& - 0 0 ALA AUCTION Your response to requests for items for our Gala Auction has been most heartwarming.

He still receives physical, occupational and speech therapy at the National Orthopedic Hospital in Arlington and at home. It will be awhile before Allan can go back to work, but in his own words he says a big "thank you for helping me live again."
