There is of course, much for most Americans to be thankful for at this Thanksgiving season. This is particularly true of Anaheim and Orange County where population and manufacturing increases, home and institutional building and cultural attainments have been unparalleled in the United States. It is, however, a good time for self-penetrating study by each of us as regards the body politic and a careful and frank analysis of our own morals in the light of our everyday living. Are we the type of the hard-core, honest, self-respecting citizens who helped make America great—and good—of a character envisioned and fought for by the Pilgrim fathers and the founding fathers such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin? Are we still the people whose respect for the personal integrity and the equality of man saw us through a great civil war marked by the emergence of a leader more saint-like than any other American—Abraham Lincoln? Are we still of the valiant, derring-do and withal heroic mold of pioneers who dared mountains, rivers, floods and Indians to settle our Golden West? Are we? We wonder. Have we lost a lot of the moral backbone and stamina, the inherent honesty that characterized "The Men of Yesterday" in America? Have we become, figuratively, "too fat around the belly," too complacent with easy living, too satisfied with our creature comforts, too eager to make "a fast buck," too disregardful of Almighty God, even though we profess His faith, and that is all it is with many of us, and who in pseudo-zeal throng our churches on Sundays? We believe these are questions of paramount and vital moment which must be answered by each individual American as he offers up his thanksgiving at this time of the year, and that they must be thought out carefully and soberly and in all justness and fairness. Is that very act of offering up thanksgiving fradulent or dishonest? There are many indications that Americans have fallen on to evil and dishonest ways, into a great evil of disinterestedness in matters vital to this nation, into a tremendous self-interest and a downright selfishness which carry with them the core for a cancer of destruction beginning to eat away at the vitals of our nation. We have permitted Soviet Russia, a hitherto backward and ignorant land, one professing athleism, to zoom ahead of us in space travel and missile production. Is that very act of offering up thanksgiving fraudulent or dishonest? There are many indications that Americans have fallen on to evil and dishonest ways, into a great evil of disinterestedness in matters vital to this nation, into a tremendous self-interest and a downright selfishness which carry with them the core for a cancer of destruction beginning to eat away at the vitals of our nation. We have permitted Soviet Russia, a hitherto backward and ignorant land, one professing athleism, to zoom ahead of us in space travel and missile production. We have permitted Communism to flaunt us in Hungary, East Germany, China and other parts of a rebellious world whose low-level citizens also want some of the good things of the world. More important still we have allowed dishonest and "unmoral practices" to permeate our own way of thinking and living. For instance, the present expose of crooked TV shows—and of grafting—and that is the word—grafting radio announcers accepting gratuities for plugging racuous and even immoral song records. These are not isolated instances of downright crookedness among us. Rather, they have become an accepted practice, like "cumsha" was for centuries among the Chinese. Therein lies their immense evil as a menace to the future of America. For no country, not guided by the spirit of sheer, thorough and blunt honesty can continue its place at the pinnacle of nations. Sooner or later it will begin to crumble, not so much from the outside as from the inside. Communism is a danger to us, increasingly and insidiously so, but even more so is the spirit of dishonesty, of "the easy buck," of the hidden graft, that have become plainly manifest and accepted in our daily living in America during the past decade. It is not too late for each individual American to draw back, to look himself or herself squarely in the face and consecrate himselfes to this unswervering dictum: "From now on I'll be an honest American." If we do so we will have gained a spirit of real thanksgiving in the years to come—the world will have gained by it, too. It's time we ended our low morals, our dishonesty and our sloppy thinking.
