"All it takes to get a UGN pro-
By REV. HORACE MOUNTS
The president has proclaimed
that this Thursday will be our an-
nual day of Thanksgiving. 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." Another exam-

the establishment of a local UGN

Dave Hale, an assistant for
training in the Fersonnel Depart-

attle-First National Bank, outlin-
ed the benefits and the workings
of a LrGN program at the meet-
ing. 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.

UGN program is that it consoli-

his disciples. 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.
"Oh that men would praise the
Lord for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children
of men! Blessed be his glorious
name forever!"
