The Huron Expositor, 1982-10-06, Page 18Canadians Correspondent, JOAN CRONLN 345-2772 Thanksgiving is observed this weekend, and in today's troubled times some people wonder for what we should give thanks. More and more people today are finding themselves without a job due to layoffs from plant slow • ave downs and tI closures of firms. But, that does not seem to cause concern to those who have jobs; they just want more and more. People of. -today are a 11 eIa y :bckpacks acr The following 'letter was received from Don Melady, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Melady of St. Columban from Nigeria, Africa. Don is on the' second year of a two year stint with CUSO teaching English in Ilasha High School, He ,spent the two month's holidays travelling in Italy, D,Sicily and Northern Africa and then he and a friend from Finland back -packed from • Algiers in Northern Algeria across the Sahara desert to southern Nigeria. Well here's the last of the post cards from my travel's - from good of lleshe in Nigeria. 1 arrived home a week ago today - sorry it has taken so long to let you know of my arrival, The good news waiting for me was that school had been postponed for two weeks so I have 15 days to rest up and prepare instead of just one!.Great for nee - no so wonderful hit, ,the students, 1 think the last card I sent was from Tamenrasset in southern Algeria. Our Trans Saharan journey started in `Algiers and took us over fairly 'good road deep into the south of Algeria. In all we spent one week in the town Tamenrasset or Fort Laperrine as it was known in the days when the French Foreign Legion used it as its base in the South to subdue the population and establish their brothers. After the somewhat eventful crossing of the first 2000 km of Saraha it was nice to sit around in the cool green warmth of the oasis and plan the next half of t'he crossing. While we were there we went on a Land Rover excursion into the area known as the Hoggai, the range of beautiful mountains that spring up in the middle of the desert barrens. They are volcanic in origin, 10,000 ft. high and of an almost frightening magnificence. What 1 found particularly striking was the absolute absence of life • as far as the eye could see there was only hare, dead rock in a multitude of shapes, sizes, and colours. NOMADS It is inhabited by a nomadic tribe, called the Tuareg. who make their living by trying to raise sheep. On our excursion ,we climbed to the hermitage built by Charles de Foucauld in the 1910's. He was a French priost who lived there for several years and also started a very austere order of religious called the Little Brothers and Sisters of Charles de Foucauld. Three of whom still maintain his hermit lifestyle up M the mtns. On the morning we were there. I climbed up the hill at 6 a.m.. watched the big orange sun rise behind the SS S 1?'' h r ochre and purple mtns., and then attended mass in their bare little chapel. . NO ROAD From Tani we set out on the second half of the Trans Sarahan "highway"! The 1000 km south of Tam are completely without road, just track in the sand marked by stone piles every 1.00 m. We hitched a ride with two French guys in two Peugeot 504S driving down to, West Africa to sell them. It took us three days to reach Agadez, not without a few exciting moments like the time both the cars got stuck in a sand drift! We were,just preparing to start digging and using the planks *ten along came a 4 -wheel drive Land Rover to the rescue! Of course we had food and water provisions for three days and it's a pretty well travelled "road" so there was no real risk.' In fact it was somewhat disappointing to discover whai a frequently travelled path it .was! 1t is not exactly,, -the beagty of• the desert that attracts people so much as the absolute, change from all *things familiar that it brings. By day we would drive pass huke sand, dunes, (like giant golden snow drifts; and over broad expanses of rock-strewn plain stretching back to sharp -pointed hills in the far distance, under a broiling sun that pushed the temperature up to 45°C or more. By night we would unroll our sleeping bags on the sand under the immense star -filled sky and fall asleep in the cool, deep silence knowing we were the only people for maybe 400 km. OUT OF SAHARA By the time we reached Agadez in the Republic of Niger, we could sense that we were moving out of the Sahara. Already we were seeing the scrub grassland and wind -gnarled trees that are typical of the Sahel. Also 1 felt much more at home amid the familiar people and customs of West Africa than in the more Arabic north that we had left in' Tamenrasset. It seemed amazing that in just three days of land (ravel, we had passed from one culture into a completely new one - the last of the many shocks and surprises the Sahara presented us with. From Agadcz, it was just two days by good road to my small Nigerian village. 1t was good to get back to my African home and I ant now comfortably installed, waiting for school to start for another year of teaching.

They take their pay cheque and grumble about not long enough coffee breaks, or not enough paid holidays and too long a work day. They never use the words, Thank You, when they get paid, they rather say why do 1 have to pay all that income tax and other deductions? We are teaching our child- ren to be a society of takers. They take for granted there will be three meals a day on the table when they get home. They expect a warm bed and roof over their heads each night. They stand and wait on Friday night for their allowance and care not if you are short this week as extra bills are to be paid. I wonder what would hap- pen if these children were told their ,allowance was being cut off until times picked up. Would the bubble gum and popsicle set under- stand and say oh that's O.K.. 01 would they stomp around the house with placards on and protest, . The people of this country wear warm, fashionable ap- parel and never go about cold. We have the best of hospitals, medical care and schools and still we are not satisfied. Those illiterate, starving peoples of the third world countries value a bowl of rice and a cup of milk more than we do the finest steak dinner, and they. giva thanks for just existing, We never give thanks for living in a country where we live a peaceful existence. We're not in Beruit or Ireland, where one could be blown up in your car or have your whole fancily shot to death and hundreds of ' people buried in a huge hole in the ground. The farming community grumbles over the low prices for their produce, the weath- er and the yield Of. their crops. But they forgot one thing somewhat along the way. They don't farm 20 or 50 acres of land with a horse and a'one furrow plough cut their grain with a sycthe, and milk their cows by hand. Now they have the largest and most ,advanced machinery modern -man can acquire to work their 100 to 1,000 acres of farm land. People in the third world countries would consider - themselves millionaires if they owned an acre of furtile land to work and produce their basic staples. Cows are milked by machine and the farmers never even touch the milk from the cows to the coolers. 1 bet those cows miss that tender touch of your cold hands each morning and night. What used 10 be fun with friends on a piece of ice in the corner .of a field or pond playing hockey or skating, or a game of ball in the cow pasture with cow paddies for bases (mind you, youvnever slid into any base) has lost all its atmosphere. Now over -demanding sports', enthusiasts have to have the best auditoriums, arenas and ball fields to chase a piece of rubbed with a' stick, or play football, soccer and baseball. These facilities are all taken for granted. They are expected, not appreciated. It should be a privilege and honour .to have these monuments of our time, not a right. So when you sit down to enjoy your Thanksgiving din- ner this weekend, whether it be with family or friends, remember to give "Thanks" for that turkey you are about to devour and for being here to enjoy it. Give thanks for the tear of joy and sorrow, for the courage to face each new day with a challenge. Give thanks for those who have come before us and who have given us life and who have fought and died for our freedom which enables us to walk hand and hand with our neighbour in a land of plenty. mems. The favourable change in weather has given every- one's spirit a lift. The farmers are now able to take their beans off and by now many are harvested. The corn is also being put in the silos and it will not be long before the remainder of the corn will be combined. The plowing match is over and many of our local people attended and enjoyed their day out. The gardens are being cleaned up as the rest of the potatoes have been taken out and stored for winter. How nice to see that Mr. moat Coyne is home recover- ing after being a patient in the Stratford General Hos- pital. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Frost, St. Thomas spent Monday with Mrs. Jean Dill. Mrs. Mary Feeney, Mr. and Mrs, Steve Maloney and family and Mrs. Theresa Costello attended the wed- ding of Michael Overdove, son of Mr, and Mrs. Over - dove (Theresa Feeney) to Miss Carol Corcoran in Lo- ndon this past weekend.
