There will be no issue of The Empire tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day. TURKEY A S LIKE THAT Tomorrow is that great day wlu:n everyone knocks off except Mother—shé climaxes a week or more of shopping, thinking,. planning, worrying by knocking herself out over the stove and hoping everything is done to a turn. | And tomorrow doesn't finish her chore, either. For several days she must entice the household to finish up the big bird by preparing it in 2ll manners of varying cold cuts, fricassees. stews, and eventually hagh. ~And chances are the family, before it finishes up the leavins', will moan. “they never want to see another turke; That's the thanks she gets. Days of Thanksgiving, despite the fact they must apparently be “proclaimed” h time come annually and each vear;we can be thankful for something. Or at least so it says here. The very nature of the holiday season causes us to look back at other Thanksgiving Days. We never look back at the last July 4, for example, but there's something about tomorrow which causes us to pass in review before ourselves.

What have we to be thankful for? Will the turkey go down with relish--or with vinegar? If the past year has kicked us around a bit, then day after tomorrow let's tighten our belts and get ready to kick it right back. But if the past year has added to our success, let’s not slacken down, but k(‘op‘ n punching.

Jones, a member f the Civil Aeronautics Board, who visited Juneau a »w days ago, were pleasantly surprised.

Mrs. E. C. Nichols, who lives in West Juneau, heard a rumpus on the back porch yesterday morning. She peered out of the window in the back door. ¢ There was a full-grown black bear on the porch stealing food from the kitten's bowl. As Mrs, Nichols watched, the kitten march- ed onto the porch, up to the tow- e:ing bear, spat once, hissed and ! | swung. It's claws dug the bear in the nose. The bear backed away from the towl looking puzzled, Mrs. Nichols said. It thought for a moment, then wound up and got ready to swing at the kitten. But Mrs. Nichols saved the rash- ly youthful cat from destruction. She opened the door, said, “Scat!” and the bear turned and slowly ambled away. Today the kitten is learning to! answer to its new name—Samson. THOSE WHO BAKK GIVEN WARNING Merchants and others who bank in Juneau should remember there is only one more banking day thxsf week.

In our earliest days, of course, we were too en- raptured over the fine feed to do any thinking. Then as, time passsed, we had something to be thankful for. we guess, but. we always wondered why things couldn’t be a little befter, Then the next time perhaps they were better—and then they were worse. And so it went. It seems of late that about all we could be thankful for during the war years was that we were still'alive. And since those daygfdt's been practically the same. With the added thankfulness that we had a few dollars left after taxes, landlords, grooers, and people like that. As a hation we look at things differently than as individual§. Nationally, we give thanks we are the most well contained nation on earth, and as indi- viduals, we ‘give thanks in varying degrees on the same sqore. But of coursé, Thanksgiving Day doesn’t put us to thinking of ourselves as a nation—it puts us to thinking of ourselves as people.
