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.
