In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln designated the last Thursday in November as a national day of thanksgiving. However, in 1939, after a request from the National Retail Dry Goods Association, President Franklin Roosevelt decreed that the holiday should always be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of the month (and never the occasional fifth, as occurred in 1939) in order to extend the holiday shopping season by a week. The decision sparked great controversy, and was still unresolved two years later, when the House of Representatives passed a resolution making the last Thursday in November a legal national holiday.

Car Care Tips!
|
Harsh winter weather is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to prep your car for snow, sleet and all other cold and nasty conditions. While it’s a no-brainer that regular maintenance prevents seasonal break-downs, a whopping 70 percent of motorists admit to not winterizing their cars, according to the Car Care Council.
- Replace worn tires and brakes. The ability to gain traction and brake are imperative during the winter driving season. Make sure to replace old brakes and worn tires. In many areas, it may be worth the money to purchase snow tires specifically designed for traveling over slick or slushy surfaces.
- Check your battery. Have your battery tested to make sure it’s fully charged and the terminals are clean.
- Assess the strength of the windshield. A strong windshield is vital with the added pressure of snow, strong winds, and freezing temperatures. Make sure yours can withstand the elements.
