Lucy I .141PY l3. WOOP$ Thanksgiving has been recognized irt. did we in our, hearts, pause to. express thanks to the Almighty on the holiday weekend. Set aside for this purpose? Qr Was- it pat „a holiday from. work or APIIPOI? Do we think of all the little things .in our Oyes in Bayfield for which we should be thankful? At the Hut, the last, of the Panning has been done, The drought of August and September affected some fruits and vegetables while the flowers were a sad-looking lot, But with the recent. rains, the roses have taken on new life AO. unless a heavy freat Pecur$ there should be more nice blooms, Lucy doesn't expect to feast Prl-arjnash. .this year. Instead of an overabundance of "buttercups," _Carl tells Lucy there Are just two on the Yinea. And the rahhlts. ate off a planting of beets, Still one is thankful for three crops of lettuce and radishes and more than enough carrots. And we are thankful for all the help we 'received with the gardening problems, and for kind friends, Lucy has been especially pleased and thankful to have so many old friends call to see her during the summer along with some new friends she met in the rheumatic disease unit at Westminster Hospital last year. It was a joy to see what good progress one London patient made atter treatment. Carl retrieved his 'crop of apples before the blow last week or they would have been all on the .ground. And the German prunes just disappeared. Either squirrels or coons have been feasting on them, he thinks, but after all they weren't a great loss. And apart from all the things for which we should be thankful in our own homes, how about thinking -of the things for which we can be thankful in our communities? In Bayfield we are thankful that it is a nice quiet village off the beaten track and we hope to. keep it thus, Let us not forget the strong leadership given by former Reeve F. A, Clift after the reincorporation as .a village and the present reeve, Frank McFadden, and the council members and municipal officers who served with them, And the countless hours which the men of the planning board have given to -draw up zoning laws, looking to future growth or the village, and the Ratepayers' Association in which summer residents as well as permanent citizens get together. There is also the historical society which tries to preserve the past of the district and the agricultural society which brings people of the district together in its annual competitions. And we give thanks that we may worship in the church of our choice for the influence of the churches in the community. We are thankful also for the leadership and support given in Scouting and Guiding and to the arena committee, to all who gave of their means, and labor to finish the auditorium and are now working for an artificial ice plant. And those who support our hockey club. Thanks are due for the initiative of Bayfield young people who have formed a group for recreation and the adults who are backing them. . • Then let us not forget our volunteer fire department which since • 1947 has given us such prompt and splendid service in protecting our homes from the demon fire. And to those interested in the beauty or the village, all who have served Pioneer Park so well since its inception 22 years ago, The countless hours of labor freely given by members in the past and to the present board for work in making it a beauty spot this year. Thanks go to all those who over many years have planted and kept flowers around the memorial cairn in Clan Gregor Square (Mr. and Mrs. Herb Bridle volunteered to supply flowers and keep them in order this year). And Mr, and Mrs. J. Chapman who keep the triangular bed opposite their home in trim shape. For all these and many more advantages of Bayfield -- the harvest in Ontario has been spotty this year but no one in our village goes • hungry -- let us think and then we'll thank. With all the current unrest, Canada could so easily turn into another Nigeria with seceding Biafra unless by examples in our homes we teach respect to our elders, peace and forbearance and keep our fingers on the pulse of the nation. As is the home, so is the community and its influence spreads to the district,-the province and the nation.
