"Lying about your age is easier, now that you sometimes forget what it is!" Like the turkey, Thanksgiving is a relatively young American tradition. It stems from the very ancient harvest feast and has a more immediate connection with the Harvest Home ceremonies of the Pilgrim's England. For the previous four decades the indomitable Sarah Josepha Hale, editor of Godey's Lady's Book, had waged a one-woman campaign for a regular, national holiday. In 1863 her efforts bore fruit, when President Lincoln declared that the last Thursday of November would thereafter be Thanksgiving Day. Have a Thankful Day with your family and friends! The next meeting of the Marion Senior Citizens, will be held on November 24, at the Marion Fire Hall, at noon. We will be planning the annual Holiday Lunch. Please join us, bring a dish to pass and enjoy a delicious lunch and stay and play cards and Dominoes. Our Holiday Lunch and celebration will be held on December 8th, reserve the date. I see that there is a new store opening downtown!
