The Almighty had provided bountiful crops and an abundance of wild game for food. Through the dense virgin forests he had provided logs for crude but com­ fortable shelters from the approaching long whiter. The small colony was at peace with the Indians. Al­ though they had endured hardships, sadness in the loss of loved ones, and faced a future of uncertainty, this little band of Pilgrims bowed their heads in prayer and gave thanks —■thus, was born Thanksgiving Day which has become a tradition in America. More than three centuries have passed, and although countless changes have come to pass and we now live in an age when much is taken for granted, today we have even more to be thankful for than had our Pilgrim fore­ fathers ,— and are in need now, as never before, of Divine guidance. As Thanksgiving Day, 1954, approaches, let us count our'many blessings and turn to our Creator with humble and sincere gratitude. Let us turn again to our individual places of worship so as to find our strength constantly re­ newed by the inspiration and guidance to be found only in religion. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Frank J. Lausche, Governor, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 25, 1954, as THANKSGIVING DAY in Ohio, and take this occasion to publicly urge all men, women, and children, in this state, .at Thanksgiving Time, to manifest gratitude to the: Lord whose goddness and generosity to this great Nation and State have been boundless. May we all, through virtue in our lives, and through the respect and charity we show for our fellow men, including our brothers in other lands, be worthy of God’s continuing benevolence and goodness toward us. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal o f the State of Ohio, to be affixed, at Columbus, this 15th day of November, in the Year of Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-four. (Signed) FRANK J. LAUSCHE G O V E R N O R THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF OHIO CQLUMBUS, OHIO — Persons who refuse to yield party line telephones in cases of emergency will be guilty of a misdemeanor if legislation proposed by the Ohio Independent Telephone Association passes the next Ohio legislature. According to Richard R. Waltz, Delta, Ohio, presi­ dent of the association, the proposed legislation will be aimed at the elimination o f two principal kinds of of­ fenders. "First is the person who refuses to surrender state toward eliminating motor [ the line when someone needs to summon police, firemen, vehicle accidents on that day. j doctors or other emergent aid. Second is the person who "Never has any safety project > fakes an emergency to obtain the line.” Waltz said fur- been aimed so directly at the prin- ther, "The situation is. so serious that it has drawn edi- cipal cause of motor accidents - the individual,” according to John L. Marsh. Secretary of the Peti oleum Industry Committee of Ohio, "Stud­ ies by the petroleum industry's highway safety program reveal that nine out of every ten deaths from motor accidents are due to Indivi­ dual human error." He continued, "The great share of these errors are made by the man at the wheel. That's the meaning of the phrase: Safe drivers make safe highways.” S-D Day, Mr. Marsh noted, will give an excellent balance to the "slow down and live” campaign which is being planned for the vacation period next summer.
