Give Thanks At Thanksgiving IN TJttESE days when so large a part of the world either goes hungry or at least wonders where the next meal is coming from, it is well for us to thank God for our many blessings. In spite of a little grumbling about too dry an early summer and too wet an early fall, we are forced to admit that by and large the whole country has again done , very well, We are far more fortunate than most of us realize, God has laid before us such wealth as has been iaid before few other peoples in the world’s history. We are able to raise all the essential food we can possibly need ourselves and still have enough .to feed millions of others. Just think of the situation in Great Britain, as a contrast. Think of the deep-lying insecurity of having to ship two^thirds of all your food across three thousand miles of ocean! And Britain is fortunate, compared with much of the rest of the world! Over fifty percent of the world is underfed and millions are actually starving. Do you realize that- in the forty-five seconds or sq that it has taken you to read to this point, fifteen children have died of starvation? Not only is this true, but only one in a hund­ red in underdeveloped countries will ever in all his life have what we would call a good square meal. Do you know that the average emaciated labourer in the Far East eats a daily diet of two hundred calories while in Canada we average two thousand five hundred? While others are starving, we worry about keeping our weight down — be­ cause'we eat too rriuch! xAs we think of our harvest this year, let .us remember that it is the fruit of men’s labour —■ the labour not only of those who occupy the land now, but also of those who have gone before. It is the , fruit of the courage of the pioneers who settled all our great Terri­ tories and of all who followed them. We have done no more than gather the wealth which God put into the earth. If we forget this, Thanksgiving has no meaning. r • TURKEY , . YOUNGSTERS . . . LUGGAGE . . . WHERE’S DAD GOING TO PACK IT ALL so they can get started on that -Thanksgiving visit with the relatives, Dad had better do a little bit of “UN”packing too, before he starts out. That.clutter ed-up pack window, ’obstructing his view to the rear, is an offence under the Highway Traffic Act.... unless he, has a mirror attached tq the car in a position to give him a clear view of the roadway behind, other than.through the rear window. This is a pew law, effective October 1, which also requires a clear view through the windshield and through the windows on either side of the driver. (Ontario Department of Transport Photo) From Our Early Files SUGAR AND SPICE by Bill Smiley IN CLINTON and in Bayfield, They find fault with the lack of organized sport arid enthusiasm for it; they squawk about the poor conditions at the playground or the pool or the arena; they deplore the fact their chil­ dren are left without some form off planned, useful activity, after school and on Saturday. - Those same folk are absent at home and school meetings but ridicule the school system; they fail to. vote but dis­ credit elected officials; they won’t stand for office though they krfow best how affairs should be handled. Despite; this unco-operative belly­ aching, Jack quietly and efficiently builds not only a house, but a whole . town — for it is long-suffering, hard­ working Jack who gets the job done in the final analysis. Surely some sympathetic Jack will come to the aid of Brownies’in Bayf ield apd Clinton, just as'Jack , must always . fill the need'when the chips are down. Brownie organizations may have to dis­ band because no . adult leadership can be found. Mothers and other qualified women iin these communities use all the standard excuses— they are too busy ■ or not well enough acquainted • with Brownie procedures or out of town a great deal or involved in club work or niirsihg a nervous allergy — the list is endless. Finding someone to assume respon­ sibility as always, a problem. Most people are perfectly content to let Jack do it — and thank goodness every town has a small supply of willing energetic Jacks who step into the breach for the squatters. - ‘ x \, While Jack races about in a valiant though” sometimes futile effort to do all the civic minded things he knows must, be done for the betterment of .the town and its people, the idle masses sit and quite often complain. 1 vment ower In 1940, the Unemploy­ ment Insurance Act created a Commission to administer a national employment insur­ ance plan and to operate a national employment service. During the next year, a country-wide network of lo­ cal offices was established' by the Commission to conduct its operations. However, in 1942, when the National Se­ lective Service regulations Wesley-Willis UCW Groups Plan Meetings Starlight Circle of a Wesley- Willis United Church Women will meet Tuesday, ^October 11 at 8:30 p.m. at the church when the special speaker will be Mi's.

The Fidelity Unit will meet at 2:30 p.m. the same day, Oct­ ober 11 with Mrs. Lome Jervis in charge of the program. Roll call will be “One blessing we enjoy in Canada”. Thursday, October 13. -at 2 zp.m. the Wo-He-Lo Uhit will medt and collect Thanksgiving Thoughts from each member. Members are asked to bring satoe article for the bale. Mrs. H. Jenkins, Mrs. Haddy and Mrs. Mulholland' will be in charge of ,the penny sale table. were passed, the Department of Labour became responsible for administration of both staff and premises of the Commission • far the duration of World War II. Local of­ fices became -known as N'a- ' tional Selective Service Of­ fices. In 1945 the local offices were returned to the admin­ istration of the Unemploy­ ment Insurance Commission and they took on the dual name of Unemployment In­ surance Commfissiibri / Na-, tional Employment Service. For the next 20 years this identity was retained and during this time the employ­ ment service function of the local office steadily 'gained in ■importance .. as technological change and increasing com­ plexity of the labour market resulted in greater and great­ er demands on it. In recognition of the changes being, wrought, a Committee of Inquiry into the Unemployment Insurance Act Was appointed on July 17, 1961, under the chairman­ ship of Ernest C. Gill; In No­ vember, 1962, the Gill Com­ mittee made 'its report and one of its recommendations was that the National Em­ ployment Service Should be transferred to the Depart­ ment Of Labour as a neces­ sary move to co-ordinate ef­ forts relating to manpower policy and employment pro­ grams. On April 1, 1965, the Na­ tional Employment Service again becarhe the responsi­ bility of the Department of Labour and immediate efforts were made to separate the employment function from” the insurance function in the local office. However, further changes were in store and in December, 1965,' extensive re­ alignment was to come a new Department of Manpower and Immigration. On January 1, 1966, the local employment office became part of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration until such time as the new department could be created. A new Manpower adminis- ' tration was quickly evolved and the appointment of local employment service man­ agel's, as distinct from un­ employment insurance office - managers, was pursued vig-' orously. In addition, higher salary scales for qualified local office staff-Were put-in- to effect and’., arrangements made for 'additional staff in Order to successfully irnple- •ment plans for increased em-' phasis on such important la­ bour. market activities as counselling, training, labour force mobility, up-grading, • research, and labour market information.. A. very decent­ ralized administration is be­ ing* eyolved in order that local offices can most effect­ ively pursue their objectives; To accommodate the new image of an expanded and improved employment ser­ vice, a decision was made to, drop the name National Em­ ployment Service. The new . name, Canada Manpower Centre, more accurately re­ flects involvement with man- jpdwer programs that go far beyond the basic labour mar­ ket activity of matching jobs arid workers. ------ —... -------- -------■.

I imagine your answer will depend on your age and sex, If you're a 13-year-old girl, you’ll probably roll your eyes toward heaven and ejaculate, "Yummy!”, or something of the sort. • If you're a male junior ex­ ecutive in the late twenties, you'll probably sneer, Re­ volting!”, while secretly wish­ ing you were 10 years young­ er and could have a go at it. yourself. > If you’re a young swinger, late r/teens, early twenties, 'your reaction is probably, "The Greatest!” . This group, female, are. fad-followers. Fif­ teen years ago, they wouldn’t even look at anybody who didn’t have a crew cut, . Males whose forties are fading along with their own hair will probably grumble, - “What they need i!s a year in the army!”’ Females of the same vin­ tage are quite likely to coo, “It’s sort of cute, really!”, as long as their own young male is clean-cut and beardless. If you're over 50, you prob­ ably look with; mild amuse­ ment, or mild disgust, on the current crops of sheep­ dogs, male. You know it doesn’t amount to much. You remember the flat-chested flapper, the rumble seat, the coionskin coat and a lot of other items that appalled the oldies of the er^. Personally, I don’t agree with any of the above reac­ tions except the last one, 1 though I 'haven’t yet reached that age group. Or that fine plain of tolerance. To go back over them. Long ■hair is seldom yummy. And1 it is seldom revolting, though it can be. It is not the greatest. Greatest anything. A year in the army solves nothing. And all sorts of things are sorta cute: mon­ keys, baby' alligators, infant pigs. But let’s get down to the principalis and the principles in this world-shaking debate. Many high-school principals react just like the 13-year- ald girls above. They roll their eyes to heaven, when the subject of long hair comes up. But they don’t ejaculate," “Yummy!” At least that isn’t what it sounds^like. ■Creep up behind a principal arid say, even quietly, "Hair­ cuts.” I guarantee he’ll jump a foot and a half and turn on you with a decided tic below his left eyeball. A principal confronted by a few shaggies feels exactly like an inspecting brigadier' in the army, who arrives at “C” Platoon and finds that , six of the bodies stiffly ' at attention are wearing white sneakers instead of spit ’n spolish black boots. And what about the prin­ ciples? This is what the cul- prits purport to defend: in­ dividualism; freedom of ex­ pression; non - conformity, You name it. It’s alj the rage these days.

Among these are heredity, age, diet, degree of stressful living, exercise, body metabolism, and several very complicated dis­ orders of the body’s gl-andular system. Primary hypertension affects about 13 of every 1,000 Canadians, and causes excessive damage to the blood vessels of the heart, brain, and' kidneys. Secondary hypertension, which accounts for only a small percentage of persons suffer­ ing. from the condition, may be a result of' disease of the kid­ neys, the glandular system-, con­ genital > abnormalities of the main blood vessels, or diseases affecting control centres of the brain. The C.M.A, note^ that there are several methods of treat­ ment of hypertension, Many drugs have been developed which lower blood pressure to normal in the majority of pa­ tients with relative comfort and safety. By maintaining blood pressure at normal levels, phy­ sicians can effectively delay or avoid the various complica­ tions of high blood pressure. -----------o----------- 4-H Homemakers Discuss Dishwashing The first meeting of the Clin­ ton 4-H Homomaking Club took place oh Tuesday, Sept­ ember 27, at the hoihie of the loader, Mrs. Norman Tyndall.
