Chaminade Group Miss Norris' Guests The reception committee of Cham There is much, so much to be thankful for in a land where freedom is, where tradition unites us as a people, where love is. These and 40 reasons more spun the thread of Thanksgiving at the holiday meeting of Urban Club, yesterday in the Neighborhood Club, 104 Clark St. It was a meeting of, for and by Urban Club.

Members, led by their president, Mrs. Louis Elbert Strong, sang a litany of why they are thankful. A word, a phrase or a sentence told why Urban Club women will give thanksgiving tomorrow and together they told a story of intelligent women, who are able to smile even in troubled times. Thankful for my family and my home were two women's reasons; "for the fertility of this land of ours and the produce it provides," said another; for freedom from fear, fervently thought another; for democracy as we have known and loved it, from another. There was the liberal-minded woman who had a kind word for "the youth of America in whom fires glow and in whom we must believe." And the woman who frankly was happy "for all the luxuries in the food line." Another woman was grateful for silk and nylon stockings and not to be outdone two others were thankful for yes, soap and lipstick.

"Yes, even that, English women miss it so "much." They were thankful for the two-party system, "not perfect, but what is perfect?" for freedom of speech, religion and the press, for no blackouts, "for friends and acquaintances and the privilege of discussing everything with them." They were thankful for the movies, motorcars, for good teachers in the public and private schools, for nurses and doctors, for gas, light, water and heat, for warmth for clothes, for beauty parlors (what would be without thern) Lastly, Urban Club gave hearty thanks for "those courageous ancestors who landed on these shores long ago." Mrs. Strong who has been a leader in the move to restore Thanksgiving Day to one holiday, completed the pattern with: "For all these and many others not mentioned each one of us should be thankful on our National Thanksgiving Days." Mrs. Strong read the Ship of State. Members brought many bundles for Britain and the Pled Cross and magazines, cards and games to send to the boys at camp. Both pianos were filled with packages.

The Americanization committee, Mrs. William Paine, chairman, was in charge of the meeting. Each member was presented with a qopy of the Constitution and the first article was read, without comment, for members to reflect on at home. Mrs. William R.

John Hoffmann for the Bed Cross and Mrs. Peter A. Stillwell for British War Relief. Announcement was made of Urban Club's annual philanthropic bridge to be held Jan. 27 in the Brooklyn Woman's Club.
