In the early days of our childhood,
we were told the story of the first
North American Thanksgiving-how the
Pilgrim Fathers in 1621 after gathering
in their first harvest in the new land,
collectively arranged a huge spread,
inviting a friendly Indian chief, Mas-
sasoit, and ninety of his braves, to join
them in a banquet and Service of
Thanksgiving.
. . All through the years, Canadians
continue to celebrate Thanksgiving,
Every year a national holiday is pro
claimed for the purpose—in the month
of October, when the foliage of our
woods has reached its zenith in exciting
color and stately grandeur.
Especially in this Centennial Year,
Canadians would seem to have a multi
tude of blessings for which to
thankful:
—for peace in our land
—for political and religious
freedom
—for the opportunities available to
our youth
—for the beauty of our country
itself—mountains, forests, lakes
and rivers
—for our fertile fields with their
dependable harvest of grain

—for the resurces of our forests in
pulpwood and lumber
—for the minerals extracted from
our rocky regions
—for our coastal waters teeming
with fish
These are but a few of the bless
ings we share in this bounteous land
of Canada, extending "from sea to sea,
and from the river unto the end of the
earth".
Let us reflect on the needs of
others during our 1967 Season of
Thanksgiving, and as - we thank our
Maker for the many blessings we enjoy,
let us consider pledging some of our
substance, our thought and our time
to those of other lands who lack, in
spite of these enlightened times, the
necessities of life—food, clothing, medi
cal care and education.
SUGAR
AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
A write in the Chicago Tribune
recently stated that the average Ameri
can must work one-third of his eight-
hour day to. earn enough to pay his
various taxes. He estimated that the
working time necessary to pay taxes
is increasing by six minutes each year
so that in another fifteen years the
average taxpayer will working half his
working day to pay his taxes. He
further claimed that these estimates do
not include hidden taxes such as the
250 which are in the cost of an auto
mobile and the more than 100 which
are included in the cost of a loaf of
bread.
One of the reasons given by his
torians for the fall of the Roman Empire
was the inordinate tax increases to sup
port its military and welfare projects.
Long ago, economists estimated that if
taxes exceeded one-third of income
there would be cause for concern. Can
/
ada, like the U.S.A., has reached and
perhaps has already passed this point.
Our taxes in Canada at all levels
of government are steadily increasing.
The current proposal to tax the earnings
of all Canadians so that the unemploy
ment insurance fund can be kept
solvent — taxation in its most subtle
form—is an example of this.
Welfare projects supported by
loud voices, and the increases in the
civil service payrolls to implement
them, are advanced with seeming dis
regard of the fact that governments
can disburse only what they collect in
taxes.
The poor and the suffering must
be cared for but too much paternalism
destroys initiative. There is no substi
tute for individual habits of industry,
thrift and economy.—Canada Trust
Bulletin.
If you think it’s tough trying
to get a son or daughter ready

It's an exhausting ex

that you should take all their

OPP
report
My college co-ed
drivers
A small number of killer drivers
—people with marginal ability and a
low tolerance to stress—cause most of
the accidents on Canadian roads. That's
the conclusion reached by Dr. Charles
Gibbs of Ottawa's National Research
Council.
A report in the September issue
of Maclean's magazine tells how Dr.
Gibbs has invented a Stress-analyzer
test that takes Only two tninutes to
spot flaws in driving reactions.
The test is conducted with a ma
chine that might be found in any penny
^rcade The subject Sits in a driving
seat facing a panel of five target lights.
A steering whed is used to align a
needle against whichever light flashes
on. Subjects have only a fraction of a
second to react to movements that
range from the predictable to the im
probable.
Dr. Gibbs says his test can record
the effect of a single drink, a sleepless
night or even a family quarrel. He is
convinced that it can spot marginal
drivers before they get a chance to do
any damage and that Jjis equipment
will become a routine part of provincial
driving tests.
Present testing methods, he Says,
concentrate on speed and precision.
They don't eliminate the driver who
may react quickly but inaccurately—
and fatally.
Ontario ’ Provincial Police
from the Goderich detachment
reported four thefts, two break
and enters and 12 other criminal
acts^during the week beginning
September 24, as well as six
traffic accidents.
On Wednesday, September 27
on Highway 8 just east of Clin
ton, James William Fooks,
Stratford, was involved in a
single car accident. Damage to
the vehicle amounted to $1,000.
On County Road 13 at the inter
section of County Road 31, a car
driven by Jack Roorda, Mary
Street, Clinton, and another op
erated by Jck Spearing, Maria
Street, Clinton, collided on Sa
turday, September 30. Total ap
proximate damage to both ve
hicles was $1,200. Roorda sus
tained minor injuries.
On Saturday, September 30?
on the Maitland Concession
north of the junction of High
way 8, Jean Paul Charbonneau,
Three Rivers, Quebec, was in
volved in a single car acci
dent sustaining $1,200 damage
to his vehicle.
with all those kinds in mini
skirts and eye-shadow.” And so
on.
You patiently point out that:
rust can be removed; any
half-wit can pass fourth year;
universities never lose any
thing, except the letter you
wrote them last week; she’s
more mature and the course
will be a snap; she’s better
looking now than she was in
third year, away back.
Thus bolstered, she sends off
the application. Nothing hap
pens. Fear and frustration
mount. So father has to write a
letter in his inimitable style,
with force and firmness.
Straight b.ack comes the good
word,,, x . . , . f
This is; the real crisis: She

It’s no longer castles in Spain.
And the real panic begins.
"It’s ridiculous. I can’t leave
you and Kim alone. You’ll
burn the house down. You’ll
forget to put out the garbage.
You’ll die of malnutrition. We
can’t afford it. You can't get
along without me.” And so on.
This, of course, is rank
cowardice. She simply is afraid
to get her feet wet in the big,
cold world frbm which, like all
housewives, she has been shel
tered all these years by guess
who.
So she goes to visit her
mother for three days, as a
sort of trial run. Comes home
and is a bit dashed to find the

out on schedule, lawn cut,
kitchen tidy and Kim and I
living like Oriental potentates.
She had to save face and go
through with it, but not before
trying one more gambit. It was
impossible financially. There
was no way we could manage
it.
Father points out that, with
judicious borrowing, we can
keep one of the family going to
college. Since Hugh is no long
er there, and in fact has a
splendid job laying carpets, it
might as well be she. This
produces half a day's tears of
mingled rage and grief over
Hugh’s quitting.
It also produces a guilt com
plex. She vows that nobody has
ever lived as cheaply at college
as she will. She’s going to pig
it in a grubby little room. All
she needs is a- sleeping-bag,
card table, hot-plate and elec
tric kettle. She’ll walk miles to
save carfare, hitch-hike home
on week-ends.

Best he could find was a room,
share bath and kitchen, at $20
a week.
It wasn’t bad. But there was
a stumbling-block, as usual.
The other inmates were col
lege girls, and the landlady
had an iron rule that no men,
except her own husband were
allowed inside the front door.
She was inflexible. So was I.
I’d planned to pad down with
the old lady the odd weekend,
saving the price of a hotel
room.
To cut a long story to rib
bons, the shabby little room
first suggested has grown into
an apartment, furnished. And I
wouldn’t tell my closest friend,
let alone my banker, what the
rent is.
