In our land most people will sit down to a table heavy with food and will eat much more than the re- quired amount of food to sustain life. The majority of families will no doubt pause a moment to re- turn thanks for their blessings. Tl~ere is some question as to the sincerity of the gratitude of- fered in this jet age. A far cry from the original concept of Thanksgiving as initiated by those early pilgrims. One sign of dif- ference is the small number of people who make their way to chm-ch on Thanksgiving morning to offer their prayers of praise and thanksgiving. The majority of churches do not even offer serv- ices on this special occasion. We wonder WHY in the light of our abundance and our high standard of llving--the highest in the whole world. Glancing back in history we dis- cover that peoples who have ob- viously been~, the most sincere in their gratitude to God have not necessarily been well fed, clothed, housed, or secure as far as mater- three or four committees which act as checks and balances on it, he said. In answer to a question from the audience as to if he believed Shelton was large enough for such an organization to work, Hale re- plied that the program can be tailored to meet the needs of the community and that there is no reason why Shelton or Mason County would not have a success- ful organization. Asked what organizations do not join the UGN program, Hale stated there are some of the ma- jor groups which do not partici- pate. Several of these are those which deal with specific health problems and research and which have developed a successful means of fund raising without direct so- licitation. In developing thc amount of money which each organization needs, Hale said, the organization is asked what amount they need and of this how much can be raised without direct solicitation. The UNG then tries to raise enough money to give each organ- ization the difference between its needs and the amount it can raise. on its own. Hale pointed out that one of the requirements for getting into the UGN program is that all m0n- ey raised through the fund cam- paign must be used locally, and. not used to support national as- sociations with which the local group~ ~,, .a~fflliated. ,i.t;Iale. Stat~ed in order for the UGN organization to operate properly, the membership of the board of directors must have wide representation f r o m industry, business, labor and other groul~s in the community. Hale left information about ial things are concerned. One ex- ample would be those early Heb- rew people. They had little com- pared to our wealth. Yet over 50 of the Psalms are for praise and thanksgiving to God. Over and again these words are repeated: "O give Thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever."

Hale served as a loaned ex- ecutive to the UGN program in 1964. THE FIRST STEP in setting up a UGN program is a group of interested persons who meet to get articles of ineorporation and bylaws established. From there it is a matter of setting up the committees to make it work, Hale said. --The biggest advantage of a UGN program is that it consoli- WARRANT ASKED A warrant charging Edward Mels with forgery will be sought this week, Police Chief Richard Camper said.

The food was suf- ficient but simple. The future was bleak and Jesus' heart was heavy. Yet Jesus took the bread and of- feted thanks to God before shar- ing with his disciples. Likewise with the cup. Has there ever been a more sincere offer of gratitude in circumstances that were any- thing but inducive to an attitude of ths.nksgiving ? OUR MOST FAMILIAR example are the early pilgrims who started this whole affair of setting a day aside for the purpose of praising God for his ~dness. This, after hardships that even in our wildest imagination we could not under- stand. They had a little corn, a few potatoes, some very crude shelters, and a cold winter: to face, and yet their hearts were filled with gratitude and they expressed thanks to God. Could it be that we have se much today that in our abundance we have forgotten God? In our age of science has man become so self-sufficient and self-centered that he fails to recognize that all things come from God ? Thanksgiving is an attitude that does not come in a day, or in one church service, or in one thanks, giving season. It comes only with much nurturing and cultivation on the part cf the home and the church. It comes with spiritual maturing: This is not something that appeals to a self-centered or emotional immature person. Spirit- ual. maturity comes only as man ceases to be s~,!entered and be- comes Go@'~t~ered. ~Vben this happens it/n~e~t~hs that man be- comes a resp0~mible person. It means that sha,i,ing and giving be- comes a part of man's life. Real gratitude is~..lways accompanied by the act .of helping those who are in need,,beingi~ con0erned for those who suffer, and offering love and understanding to those about tl~. Paradoxically, we discover that the more we grasp as our own the less thanks we hold in our hearts, and the more we give of what we have, the greater is our thanks.
