Thanksgiving

We plough the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine
And soft refreshing rain.
He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey Him,
By him the birds are fed;
Much more, to us, His children,
He gives our daily bread.
We thank, Thee then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seedtime and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food;
No gifts have we to offer
For all thy love imparts,
But that which thou desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.
-- Matthias Gladius

Cass Train
The legislative committee appointed to investigate the purchase of the Mower Lumber Company train and track at Cass for a tourist attraction did approve such attention this week. Plans presented to the committee included about eight miles of the science track.

Bears
Rowland Bailey, of Princeton, added another bear to his credit week before last when he killed a 208 pound male bear on Black Mountain. This was his fifth bear in as many years in Pocahontas County. He was a member of a party with the bear-hunting twins Oscar and Austin Sharp, and their dogs. He thinks these men put on the finest hunts there are and deserve a big boost.

Other bears killed were: Charlie Taylor, November 12, 150 pound male on the head of Galford's Creek; Bernard Skeens, November 9, 200 pound male on Kinnison Mountain; Edward Galusky, 210 pound male on Black Mountain; and June Galford, November 1, 300 pound male on Williams River.

Our Boys and Girls in Service
Hq., US 7th Inf. Div. Korea -- John Bosley, the Bayonets hard-running fullback, has been selected Player of the Week, based on his all-around performance against the 1st Cav. Cavaliers.

The 200-pound fullback from Frank, was the Bayonets leading ball carrier, picking up 67 yards in 13 carries for a 5.2 average pertly. Playing the corner line-backer position on defense, he was credited with six tackles and five assists, and on two occasions stopped Cavalier backs short of the goal line.

Bosley has been a standout since the start of the season, and is leading the Bayonets in rushing in the first three games, he carried the ball 26 times for 182 yards -- an average of seven yards per carry.

In high school, Bosley was a varsity member of the football and basketball teams, and upon graduation received a scholarship to West Virginia University. He attended the university for two years before entering the Army.
