In that regard, we are altogether too likely to put Thanksgiving upon a monetary basis. "What", On the coming of each Thanksgiving Day, we are inclined to look back upon the year that has intervened since the last Thanksgiving Day and go over in our minds just what specific things we have for which to render thanks. In that regard, we are altogether too likely to put Thanksgiving upon a monetary basis. "What", asks we, "has the year meant to us financially?" However fortunate we may have been in our investments or business, the question of finances is the least of the things to be of concern at this time. Far more important is it that we survey the progress that we have made mentally and spiritually. Even though one's pocketbook may be no thicker today than it was a year ago, one is unquestionably richer in experience and one ought to be richer in thought and in the desire to be of service to mankind. By the measure of prosperity, the residents of Orange county have reason to be thankful. True, everything has not been as all of us would have wished; in this life, everything seldom is. When we realize that we escaped the period of depression that covered most of the United States like a blanket of gloom, and that our activities here have been enhanced by the activities the country over, we are bound to have a feeling of gratitude. Our opportunity for development in the things that go to make for intellectual advancement for richness in character building were never better in Orange County than they are today. Our churches, our schools, our civic organizations, our clubs—these have given to us a year filled with good things. We believe that the general atmosphere of life throughout the country is one for the making of better men and women. Our general attitude toward life is on a higher plane, and the people of the county as a whole are today better citizens and better satisfied with their lot as residents of the county than ever before. Truly, we have reason for Thanksgiving, not only for the growth that each of us has made in his own life but in the opportunities that are ours for the future.
