Christmas Shopping Off To Early Start In Troy
The Troy Record reports an unusually early Christmas buying surge despite snow and wartime conditions. Merchants cite shortages of stock and staff, with shoppers prioritizing general gifts, especially women’s undergarments and toys, while postal deadlines prompt early shipping to servicemen overseas. Store managers note brisk, across the board demand and concern over replenishing stocks before Christmas.

Two Eras Compared In Sermon At Thanksgiving Service
Rev Richard Cummings contrasted 1492 and 1620 as two prosperity philosophies. Spaniards sought gold conquest and empire while Pilgrims pursued God food and freedom. The sermon urged linking daily bread and work with faith and liberty, cautioned against luxury, and called for inclusive freedom and service. A union service at First Baptist and R P I memorialized Prof Heister with choir and an Allied Communities War Chest offering.
