Let us pause, as our Pilgrim fa thers did so long ago, to give prayerful thanks. W e are thankful for the country in which we live and for the free enterprise system that has enabled Americans to produce and reap the greatest harvest the world has ever known. Three hundred and forty years ago a change was made — from Communism to CAPITALISM. Tor three years the P i lgr im s starved under a communistic
system of "from each accord ing to his ability to each accord ing to his need." Then, in 1623 Governor Bradford abandoned this communistic policy and parceled out land to each family under the capitalis tic system o f "from each accord ing to his willingness to each according to his contribution." The resulting God-given miracle of abundance called for 'THANKSGIVING DAY.’
