But, the tradition of • By Elaine Townshend means? Were we really too busy? Or, did we just gloss over the fact that traditional- ly this has been a time of thanksgiving? After all, it's hard to feel thankful in tough times like these. Unemployment figures are high. Many people are' facing financial, emotional and health problems. Many people have difficult decisions to make. Many feel frighten- ed and alone. Another depressing story can be heard every hour on the hour just by tuning in the radio news. Thanksgiving in Canada and other countries has survived many tough times - the Depression, two World Wars and countless other crises and tragedies. When we think about the first Thanksgiving Day, it seems filled with irony. What did the English Puritans who founded the Plymouth Colony in Massachussetts in 1620 have to be thankful for? They were thankful, I sup- pose, that their sea journey had finally ended. Months of battling gales, illness, grief, fear and uncertainty on the TO MARRY - Mr. and Mrs. William Allen, RR 1 Woodham and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Darling, Exeter are pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter and son, Carole Jane and Jeffrey Roland.

They were thankful, I sup- pose, that they were finally standing on solid ground, even though the new land was strange and hard. Ahead of them lay months, years, of backbreaking work and more illness, hardships, fear and uncertainty. Perhaps they gave thanks for having met and conquered the challenge of their sea voyage. And, maybe they even gave thanks for having the opportunity to embark on another challenge. Perhaps that is the key to the longevity of the tradition of Thanksgiving, because life is a series of challenges - challenges met by in- dividuals, communities and nations. Being able to meet and con- quer a challenge, then move on to another, is something to be thankful for. And, knowing we are not' alone on our journey, is another reason for gratitude. Add to that, the beauty around us, the presence of family and friends and the treasure of memories. All in all it gives us a great deal to be thankful for, even in tough times like these. Exeter ladies conduct skit The Afternoon Unit of U.C.W. met October 7 with Jean Pooley in charge of the program. She spoke of Thanksgiving and how every- day should be Thanksgiving as we often forget how well off we are. This was illustrated by a skit, "Count your blessings". Beth Batten introduced the theme and as Marilyn Johnson sang the hymn Mary Francis, Thelma Russell and Jean Murray told how lives were changed listening to it. Jean Pooley spoke on Prayer dealing with six special powers of prayer gratitude, confession and penitence, others, discovery and contemplation, grace and service. A hymn and prayer concluded the program. Thelma Russell presided for the business. Marilyn Johnson reported on the Regional Meeting at Thames road, Madeline Witmer asked for quilters and we were reminded of the Bazaar November 13.
