s RY THE GOVERNOR OF THE VIRGIN ISILANDS OF THE UNITED STATES. A Proclamat rociamation THANKSGIVING DAY. HE President of the United States T having designated, Thursday. the 24th November as a day of national thanksgiving, I. Sumner E. W. Kittelle, Governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States, do solemnly urge upon all the people of the Virgin Islands, on that day, to congregate in their usual places of worship and there to give dzep ani sincere thanks, to the Great Giver of All Good, for the manifold blessings, both spiritual and material, which have been showered upon these islands. The cataclysms of the great world war passed us by and the after effecis have visited us in triflinz degree as com- pared with our brothers in other countries. We are spared the great inclemencies of weather that bring such suffering to the poor in colder climes and destructive storms have not swep! over our dwell- ings. The very gre t problem of un- employment which at home faces some four million of our countrymen, is to us sreatly softened and starvation is unknown in our midst.

U.» local proble ns are not so serious as those of the world at large and all are capable of “ ition if we banish greed and consider m unselfishly. We have indeed been ! 3ad above many of our fellows and , gratitude should be heartfelt. « Spiritually the feeling of brotherly love reigns over us in an unusual degree, and this greatest of soul qualities will, gradu- ally and in the ages to come, prove to e the only possible solution of .he present world troubles. Our hearts are kindly dispused toward the others of our com- munity and we have the constant inner urge to serve those less fortunate than ourselves. The spirit of all the people has been intensely patriotic and hearts are religiously inclined to act upon prin- ciple rather than from greed and selfish- ne's. Regardless of race or station the spirit of amity actuates us Here no acial discord has been fomented by evil influence and whether God has called us to serve our lives in the Nordie, the La- tin or the Slav race or has, perhaps, in the past domiciled our ancestors in the = o LN AN -~ ,A TA A7A 4\ N “ f you have not yet used VIKING ’ )\ c‘ TIRES vyou siill have to exp TiELce d b A N what a good tire 1s : ¢ P . % 4 Resides the low prices of VIKINGS, N o % which neans a saving in ycur aulo A \%4\ opera’ on, we will adjust tTor any J p @‘ & \\g | factc defect which insures Yyour ) I N 4 gett g full value .
