THE MICHIGAN .MAILI WEDNESDAY, NOVET"ER, 24, 1954 'lME MiCHIGAN JIAHA WEDNJ~SDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1934 LD STORY: On Thanksgiving, A Few Moments of Thanksgiving "Is There Somewhere Else-To Go?" ENIOR PRACTICE teachers in Education School are enthusiastically informing their iarges, via elaborately-planned bulletin boards id charts, that Thanksgiving has a purpose. They're quoting the same old story that a inch of Pilgrims shipped over here a couple centuries ago, ate a big meal with the In- ans, and gave thanks for what they had. Probably the kids are pretty much impressed. it to most of us, the holiday is just a holi- y-four relatively unlaborious days, bring- g succulent home-cooked tourkey and re- ions with friends and families. IT JUST DOESN'T occur to us, as a rule, think beneath ~ne cliches and to stop and. consider that after all, we are pretty lucky, and he have, individually and collectively, got something to be thankful for. The "count your blessings" idea has become pretty trite, but not so much that it shouldn't be re-emphasized. Churches, here and else- where, seem to think there's something worth- while in the theory. We don't have to sink to our knees, or de- vote hours to the process-just a couple of min- utes Spent realizing we're pretty fortunate, and that we might well observe Thanksgiving as it was planned, could end some of the mid- semester troubles. -Jane Howard :: -. vu 1n f '", i X11. .
