What do you count among your blessings? • Do you smack your lips thankfully when you think about the turkey, ' dressing, potatoes, ,salad, jelly, fruit and pumpkin Pie, that you'll probably eat too much of ,' next Sunday or Monday? I often wonder which is stuffed more - ire.or the turkey. Are y ou thankful for your family and• friends, your home, your car, your job or " an interesting, hobby? ' If you're a football fan, are you excited by your favourite team's success. or frustrated by 'its failure? If y ou're a hockey fan, you anticipate the beginning of a new season. If you're not a sports' fan, you're doomed to lose ' your TV rights acain. Did you welcome the end of the summer reruns? The new programs may not give you much to cheer about. The winning politicians are probably relieved that last month's election is ever.. Perhaps the losers are already planning for next time, or maybe, they're just happy their lives have returned to normal. • Farmers, are you thankful for plentiful crops, and are you glad the harvest will soon end? It doesn't, mean the termination of your work; it only means a change' in your chores. • Kids and teachers are thankful they've • put one month of school', but when they consider the months ahead, their spirits sink. Skiers and snowmobilers rejoice because the calendar tells them the snow will soon arrive. Poets, painters and nature lovers are enthralled by the colourful scenery. All of us have much to be thankful- for; some blessings are more important than others; but complaints are often spoken . too. Every time we drive away from a gas pump, gratitude is the last thought on our minds. In 1975, . it's hard to feel -grateful 1111111111111111111111111111111111111.111Ill 11111111 , inherit -Om* gfq.' • • •sailvroto$;$'1240134'.uwsel:sattilee.a/9".. , and Erma and two grandsons • United CP:14-0''' . .'

Darcy is the daughter of the Honourable W. John McKeag, Lieutenant- Governor of Manitoba, and Mrs. 'M cKeag, and Torn •is the son of Major and Mrs. T.S.Crawford of Winnipeg: The Reverend D. J. McCrindle conducted the double ring_ ceremony, and Mr. Barry Anderson played the organ. Mrs. Kathleen Brown sang The Wedding Song and Time (in a Bottle), as well as the closing Benediction. The bridal procession entered the church to the singing of 0 perfect Love by the -congregation. • The bride was given in marriage by her father, and chose a formal gown of imported ivory Alecon lace over angel crepe. The fitted bodice, overlaid with lace, featured a square neckline and Princess Anne .sleeves. The A-line skirt fell from a raised waistline and ended in a chapel train.

Ushers were Jim Henderson, .Tom Akerstream, and light-h'earted, even - on Thardsgiving • Day. The local and international news doesn't help; tragic headlines leap out at us. Such words as kidnap, riot, terrorists, bomb, civil war, murder, scandal, inflation, drought, earthquake, hurricane and flood have become a part of our everyday jargon. Tension in the MidJle East means tension for the whole world. It's difficult for anyone to ignore the danger signs. When we learn about the plight of other people, we often think, "that's too bad. J really feel sorry for them, but I'm glad it's them instead of .me." 'Even with this attitude, we can't escape a '1'eeling.of uneasiness. Those of us, who haven't experienced personal tragedy, wonder how long we can live untouched by grief. But we've all survived hardships, some large and some small. Our ancestors struggled through hard times, yet they always found something to be thankful for. They began the tradition of Thanksgiving Day and continued, it for centuries. They gave thanks for their meal, although it didn't compare with the feast most Of us enjoy today. They gave thanks for the harvest, although it was sometimes meagre. They gave thanks for their home, althoegh it may have been only a shack. They gave thanks for their loved ones, although some of them were far away and some would never return. They gave thanks for the past year, although it may have been a trying one. They gave thanks for the coming year, even though its prospects may not have looked much brighter. They 'gave thanks for life and for the faith and hope that, helped them live, and so can we. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ' Wednesday. evening.
