From our early files 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 40 years ago THE CLINTQN NEW ERA October. 3, 1912 be ENTQftTAl PAGE Mr. Dean Courtice left on Monday to resume his studies at the School of Practical Science in Toronto.

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 Mrs. Douglas Andrews was installed as Noble Grand of the Huronie Rebekah Lodge No. Rome and taxes 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. My college co-ed If you think it’s tough trying to get a son or daughter ready for college, cooled out, and set­ tled in, you should try it with a wife, who hasn’t been there for 20 years. It’s an perience, emotionally and fi­ nancially. All the kids want is that you should take all their stuff down, help unload it, press a large sum upon them, and disappear back to Hicks­ ville, so you’ll stop embarrass­ ing them in front of their new class-mates. With Momma it’s not that simple. First comes the tremendous decision itself, .comparable ..to Moses making up his mind to lead the “Child­ ren” back to the Promisjed Land. There are surges of con­ fidence, but they are out­ weighed by sudden despairs. “My brain is rusty. I’ll never make it. They’ve probably lost my files. There’ll be a rule refusing people over 30. The course is most likely a lot harder now. I’ll feel like a fool OPP report exhausting ex­ Killer 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 minutes to spot flaws in driving reactions. The test is conducted with a ma- chine that might be found in any pertny arcade The subject sits in a driving seat facing a panel of five target lights. A Steering wheel 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 J^is equipment will become a routine part of provincial driving tests. Present testing methods, he says, concentrate on speed and precision. ThOy 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, » wit h 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 writ? a letter in his inimitable style, with force and firmness. Straight b.ack comes the good word.,, /' . 'This is; the real crisis. She caJn’t' b'eH^ve’i’t!1 She’s1 adcep’ted. 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 along1 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 house still standing, garbage ...........I mi .................... 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 on? 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. Hah! Have you tried to rent a cheap little room lately? Fa­ ther took mother to the city, and while she registered at the college, poured . ph7 ale, and 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.
