Wms GOYERNOR OF THH VIRGIN SLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES. A Proclamati rociamatio:i THANKSGIVING DAY. s HE President of the United States having designated, Thursday. the 24th November as a day of national thanksgiving, I. Sumner E. W. Kittelle, Governor ot ‘he Virgin Islands of th~ United Staies, do solemnly urge upon all the people of the Virgin Islands, on that day, to congregate in their usual piaces of worship and there to give d=ep an 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 degre= as com- pared with our brothers in other countries. We are spared the great inclenicncios of weather that biing such safferinz to the poor in colder climes and destructive storms have not swept over our dwell- ings. The very gret problem of un- employment which at home faces some tour million of our countrymen, is to us reatly softened and starvation is unknown In our midst. We have basked under the most beneficent worldly government that the earth has ever known, while a great European country has suffered untold crueity and desolation under the tyrant rule of bolshevists. Wars are still rag- ing in places on earth but we reside amidst peace and the transcendent beauties of Nature. Epidemies have not come upon us but health econditions con- tinue to improve in our commuities. We may all go about our r:spective tasks freely and fearlessly, knowing that no ;an may unjustly detain us. Our_local proble ns are not so serious as those of the world at large and all are capable of solution if we banish greed and consider themn unselfishly. We have indeed been plessed above manv 'of our fellows and our gratitude should be heartfelt. Spiritually the feelin 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 the present world troubles.” Our hearts are Kkindly disposed toward the others of ou: com munity and we have the copstant inner urge to serve those less fortunate than ourselves. ['he spirit of all the people has been intéensely patriotic and hearts are religiously inclined to act upon prin- ciple rather than tfrom: greed and selfish- nezs. Regardless of race or station the spirit of amity actuates us. Here no racial discord has been fomented by evil influence and whether God has called us to serve our livzs in the Nord:e, the La- tin or the Slav vace or has, perhaps, in eße g ] 8 e/ ,A - e /A "A ‘ : 7 A \ “ N ““.fyou have not yet used VIKING 2 4 LN\ c TIRES you still have to exp:rience 75 ’ W * what a good tire is. # Besides the low prices of VIKINGS, qp -\ 41'; ’\ which means a saving in your auto ) %\ operation, we will acjust for any J P , &\ q factory defect which insures your > I D 4|| gerting full vaiue. . d P v a Order irom your /de';aie;; or airect A [ &.8 ' 9o B PARLEL TUSL Ul UL D q P A(R , @ same willhave our immediate atien- ‘<M Z Htion. e/& L L ‘ ¥ /\ 7= § L|l VIKINGS are all the DAY now, { D g7y M|| 2 l|having obtamned this fame from the ) \\‘ "Il 3 g quality of the tires and tubes, ana 4 b & 77 @[ the low »rice at which they can e o)/ lay- o R . . /\) boug ht.

We on earth, do not love our own children who are in a lower ¢lass ot school any less than those in a higher class and so we feel constrained to believe that in the eyes of the Infinite, we are all but as chil- dren, some in a higher class and some still in a lower one, but alike children of the same Loving Father, and ali alike destined to come at last into His King- dom.
