C�nadians s ouIthanks Wise words read somewhere: "We all have consciousness that needs to be fed regular doses of purpose and meaning. That is what gives the spirit vigor." While we were enjoying our Thanksgiving dinner, smacking our lips as we ate succulent turkey, potatoes and gravy, buttered turnip, delicious spicy pumpkin pie or whatever our choice of traditional thanksgiving fare, did we remember to give thanks for the abundance of good food on our tables? Did we give thought to Canadians not as fortunate as we or to the thousands elsewhere in our world who always go hungry. To children who are dying for want of the simplest of nourishment needed to give them strength to live. We all have our personal problems and troubles but we have much to be thankful for. SHORT SHOTS by Evelyn Kennedy The week of October? to 23 is School Safety Week. Every parent is being urged by the Canada Safety Council to take this opportu- nity to make sure their young children are aware of 'the basic rules of traffic safety.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee saidihis anti -war• organiza- tion jointly led by U.S. and Soviet doctors has performed a considerable service to mankind by spreading authoritative information and by creating an awareness of the catastrophic consequences of atomic warfare. Now if only heads of nations, warmongers, manufacturers of nuclear weapons, and all such ilk, would take heed and put the full force of their power toward peace, it could be attained. But first, powerful countries must cease constantly bending to the sole purpose of proving thier supremacy and domination of others. We have been repeatedly warned, and read about homes being damaged by fire caused by overheated cooking oil. In spite of this people still take chances with it. Never, under any circumstances, leave cooking oil heating on the stove unattended. It can catch fire and flames spread in seconds. Cooking oil is commonly used in many homes these days. Be careful! Take care! There has been more wind and rain than one could want, but that was better than the early winter storm that swept across the prairies early last week. Manitoba bore the brunt of the wintry blast. It was reported that it would cost the city of Winnipeg $90,000 to dear the streets of the calf -deep drifts of snow. It caused numerous problems for motorists, who is spite of warnings, were caught off guard. Fortunately there were no deaths attribu- ted to the storm in Manitoba, but four people were killed in Alberta in separate accidents partially blamed on weather conditions. Dare we hope that after having so much rain we will not have to contend with a huge amount of snow? I have occasionally flirted with the idea that every responsible newspaper should have one competent editor in charge of nothing but good news (not drivel) hard, factual good news about the accomplishments and decen- cies of people, which, all too often, is buried under the daily torrent of gloom" - James Reston. Former Vice-president of the New York Times. It is felt a good many of us would welcome the appointment of such an editor on the staff of daily papers. It would brighten the pages so often filled with tradegy, tumult and controversy. Such things must be reported but there are so many good things we never read about in the dailies. Those we find in community weekly papers. Thank them for that. Knox Church holds 120th anniversary MRS.
