Declaring he will go to the grand jury for regress, County Clerk H.G. Kuhn raised vigorous objections to action of the board of supervisors yesterday af- ternoon in assigning one of the rooms of his office suite for use of the district attorney. The matter came up when District Attorney Fred C. Pugh presented a written request to the board for the office known as the abstractor's room adjoining the larger quar- ters in which the county clerk's business in con- ducted. Pugh said the ap- plication "directly affected the service his office is able to render the county offices and the public." — Nov. 21, 1924 90YEARSAGO...

How- ever, I wanted to take these moments, particularly at this time of year, to remind us — me — of some reasons to offer up thanks. After all, despite what sometimes passes as common belief, Thanks- giving is not a caloric com- petition. With beheadings and renewed violence in the Middle East, an exager- ated Ebola scare; a fright- ening escalation of global warming; vitriolic hyper- bolic, unproductive, child- like exchanges among "our leaders" about everything from affordable healthcare to immigration; a still- shaky standard of living for far too many; gridlock in Government, and — oh yeah — the worst drought in centuries here in Cali- fornia, we're having quite some time of it all. In times such as we find ourselves, it is vital to re- call the words of Fran- cois de La Rochefoucauld, "Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further fa- vors." The future will be better; be assured. Yet, while we are still chopping though the rough seas of today, some reminders might be in order. Nonetheless, what really matters is that many of us will be surrounded by family and friends, people who support and guide us. When we are off course, they redirect us. When we are on track, they congrat- ulate us. When illness rav- ages our body and beats our spirit, they, like an- gels, sit by our side and heal us. When we are over- whelmed, they hold us near. When infused with joy, they join us in song. What a blessing, in the midst of seas of swirling, chaotic, pandemonium, to find islands of protection where we can have a rest and reclaim our souls. To say to them, "Thank you," is woefully, pitifully, inad- equate. Yet, it can do no harm. As we pull up to a table overstuffed with breads, pastries, pies, stuffing, po- tatoes, turkey, and wine; we might be inclined to complain about the will- power necessary to watch how much we consume. Should that thought cross your mind, remember that nothing tastes as good as healthy feels. Finally, possibly of most import, be reminded that while we might find it dif- ficult to resist second help- ings and the abundant ex- cesses of Thanksgiving, the majority of people who share our planet would drop to their knees, take your hand in theirs, and say "thank you" count- less times for the scraps that we, without thought, throw into the garbage. The world is unbalanced. Even when our lifestyles feel under siege, we still have far more than most. Be grateful; stay in per- spective. To truly appreciate that which abundantly sur- rounds us, it is essential to give thanks for how fortu- nate we are — especially when it might appear that we are not. Should you wish to indulge in excesses this Thanksgiving, do so in your show of gratitude.
