NW Okie's Journey

After the example of our ancestors, pioneers whose names had made the Plymouth colony immortal, we should never cease to give thanks for the goodnesses and the mercies showered upon us and our land during the past decades.

Do you find it a little strange that our earliest National holiday, the one at least which had its origin in the very early days of our country, should always be associated with the dinner table? Thanksgiving Day and Thanksgiving Day dinner are synonymous terms with a great many people.
