Is our thankfulness a selfish type?
So long as. God takes care of me,
let the Devil take care of my
neighbour. This idea is in the
lowest scale of thankfulness; and
• we should have no desire to remain
at this paint; Surely it is our aim
to climb to the highest scale. Be-
cause we are what we are, we
begin by seeing ourselves.as posses-
ing self-will, self-complacency and.
self-gratification. True happiness,
true peace and true joy will never
he found in, such possessions; So
we must ascend in, the scale of
living; and to our surprise we shall
find that true happiness, true joy,
true peace and true thankfulness
will be found only when we have
discovered the true 'path of life
upon which the soul must travel
to find these virtues: For these
qualities belong to the soul that
has heard the Good News of Jesus:
and his love for mankind; and has
embraced, it. These qualities over-
rule the dark hours of pain, afflic-
tion and sorrow; as well the de-
lightful moments _of mirth and•
merriment. They 'are the inward
qualities of the -soul; • the emotion-
al experiences which -,God grants
in the realization of the' higher,
activities of life.

ReV. W. A. Beecroft was in
Bright on Sunday, where he preach-
ed for anniversary services. Rev.
No wonder Christ said to His
disciples: "Your hearts shall rejoice
and your joy no man taketh from
you". It is the sign that we are
living our lives as spiritual beings
in touch with the things of God.
God confers such spiritual qualities
as we follow in Ills way. For we
were sent into this world for a
two-fold purpose: to Ja 7;1. some thing,
and to DO somethlinig for God.
Renee, none of us, if we aro sin-
cere, can 'be satisfied. with a lower
level of life than that which we '
feel we can reach with God's help.
When Jesus ealled the two fisher-
men, 'Peter and Andrew, He said.
"Come ye after me and I will make
thee to become fishers of men".
They were to become something
which they had not been before;
they were to become spokesmen of
the Good News of Jesus. Jesus can
make us to become Messengers of
Glad. Tidings; and at the same
time, He will make us do some-
thing. He will make us bring setae
to God; and in so doing we . will
have reached the highest scale of
living which will bring to us the
highest happiness, the highest joy
and. the highest peace for which we
can be truly thankful.

TRANKSGIXING
Psalm 16:0 & it
'My lot is fallen unto me in a
fair ground; yea I have a goodly
heritage: Thou shalt show me the
path of life: In Thy presence is.
fullness of joy.'
On Monday we celebrate our
National Thanksgiving. Truly we
citizens of this Dominion, can well
be agreed that we have much for
which to be thankful, Whether
or not we are thankful depends
entirely upon the individual ap-
proach to its significance. Our
thankfulness may rest in the fact
that we are being materially bless-
ed, The land has yielded its
fruits in abundance: There is
fairly steady employment and the
• regular pay cheque; the Baby
.Bonus, Mother's allowance, and.
the senior citizens' pension. Elec-
tricity, working through its mani-
fold channels, provides innumerable
comforts and pleasures. There is
an', abundance of gasoline for our
ears. Our country is at peace,
With one voice we are able to
"My lot is fallen unto
'Mein a fair ground; yea. I have
'•a'geodly heritage." ,`Of course I
am Thankful."
Let us think seriously upon this:

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE
SUPPORT?
Last week Alton Adams announc.
ed that he will give the matinees an-
other whirl at the Lyceum Theatre.
Naturally, he won't continue them
too long if the attendance doesn't
merit the outlay involved.
The ;local theatre has been run-
ning,,on a part-time basis for some
time—and at a time when hundreds
of theatres- all over the province
have simply closed their doors. Tele-
vision is a fine medium of communi-
cation, but, our theatres have, over
the years, presented Some of the very
finest entertainment. and education.
If the Lyceum were to close _com-
pletely it would be a distinct loss to
the community and it would be alto-
gether. likely :that no other theatre
• Wbtild ,ever open its dOorsln Wing-
ham • :
Last week's Advance-Times car-
ried the information that night class-
es will again be available at the
high school throughout the winter
months. It is to be hopec',. that in-
terest is keen and registration well
filled, so that the classes may be
carried out not Only this year but
in future years as well,
Heaven knows there is 110 lack
of activities in this community to
keep one busy during the cold winter
evenings. We are blessed with rather
too many places to go—however, the
night classes hardly fall into the cate
gory of mere sport or entertainment,
If present-day society suffers
from any one common ailment, it is
the ennui created by spoon-fed en-
tertainment. There is plenty to
please the fancy in our moments of
relaxation, but all 'too little to exer-
c;.:ie our mindS. In the .course of the
night classes everyone taking part
will- enjoy the thrill which no other
activity can .provide as. completely
as mental. acconiphshatent. What a
satisfaction It is to feel that with
each --passing week one knows a little
hit more—no matter what the sub-
ject.
- Classes' this year will he held on
Wednesday evenings at the high
sChool and. the proposed subjects are
basic English- for New -Canadians,
wood-Working; welding, general met-
al work, sewing, typing, ceramics.
These courses will be taught, of
course, only if there is sufficient
LOCK THEM UP
One of the recent fires in this dis-
trict, i,ve,und„erstancL:.waS . caused by
youngsters playing. -with 3-matches.
: There is nothing unusual about that,
for thousands of fires a year are
started in exactly the same way.
The apparent carelessness of par-
ents in such cases, results, of course,
from the human characteristic of
forgetfUlness. Every one of us has
at some time or other forgotten to
put the matches out of the reach of
small fingers.
This precaution, nevertheless,
would save a tremendous aggregate
of suffering and loss. only every
parent would learn to fear both
matches and drugs . . , to recognize
them as the potential killers they are.
so many tragedies would be averted.
Avery single home where there are
children, should be equipped with ,at
least one cupboard or drawer to
which there is a lock and key. Tt
wouldn't need to be fancy—simply
secure against the curiosity of small
children, too young to realize the
hazards inherent in these household
items.
small hasp and padlock, and a
few minute's of Dad's time would
provide, every home with the best
possible insurance against suffering
and death. Do more than think
about it, won't you?

HAPPY WITH RESULTS
Retail merchants in town of Ren-
frew tried an experiment this 'year
which, apparently, worked .out-satis-
factorily. Instead of closing on Do-
minion Day, July 1st, which was a
Friday and re-opening on Saturday,
they stayed open on the holiday and.
Saturday and closed on. Monday.
Local merchants who were in some
instances undecided what to do
should read this report received from
Publisher Donald W. McCuaig of the
Renfrew Advance.
"I checked with the chairman of
the retail merchants. and he reports
that from enquiries he made after
the holiday, nearly every store was
"very happy" about the result of the
July 1st opening. They had a busy
day on Thursday and clothing, food,
chain and hardware stores were busy
Friday and Saturday.
"One hardware man told me that
the tourists from the U.S., were
steady all day Friday. Friday night
is now the busy night hi town ,and it
was mostly a case of 'business as
usual'.
"The retailers feel that the con.
sumer got the best service and store
staffs were able to have a longer
holiday. Only two drug stores clos-
ed Friday and opened Monday of all
retail stores. Actually, the oppo-
sition stemmed from the July 4th or
'(5.5. aspect, Merchants are not ne-
cessarily planning the Same thing
another year, but aren't displeased
with the results,"
Our thanks to Publisher McCuaig
for passing along these 'findings,

ville merchants might well consider
the ad.visibility of switching over to
a Monday closing.---liowrnanville
