The list for students to sign shtw- ing they wanted to compete was posted in the school for a period of about two weeks. 'Wore,/ the number of pros- pective track and field athletes was so small, principal A. R. Scott decided it was not worth welling all classes for the afternoon for so few devotees of track and field sports. A traek and field day was planned last spring at GDCI but was called off, too, when interest was too snail. Last time a field day was held at GNI( was in 1954. Looks a$ if today's students prefer "specitator sports" rath- er than the participating variety. O 0 0 CALENDARS �1!lIr1I CUPS calendars, ' with the Wire et Alexandra.

It gives us a chance to go around looking thankful for a day or two before we go back to our habitual expres- sions of sour indignation at the shabby way in which the world is treating us. 0 * 5 It's good for the facial muscles to ease them out of that cramped scowl once a year. Of course, there's the odd fanatic who goes around being thankful all the time. His silly, happy face stands opt among all our normal, frowning ones with the incongruity of sweet. peas in a slaughterhouse. Maybe it's just as well, though, that Thanksgiving has become, via our national virtue of putting first things last, merely a day to watch the football game, close up the cottage, or get in that last game, of golf, with a turkey dinner orgy thrown in somewhere along the line. If we really took the occasion seriously, we might get into all kinds of trouble. Imagine the chaos that would result if everybody started being truly thankful for what he had, and not wanting, •som thing more. Our entire economy would be shat- tered if people stopped grabbing for all they could,gast. Two years of people being satisfied with last year's car would ruin the autO uo- bile industry and. throw hupdteds of thousands oat of work. If people started patching their old trousers, instead of throwing• them out, the textile industry would be wiped out in no time: * * 4 If they began to make -do with what they had, and were thankful for it, the entire structure kriown as free enterprise would come crashing about our ears. Advertis- ing executives, whose job is to make people want what they don't really need, would be leaping from high windows. Finance companies, bad cess to them, would , he .a shambles overnight. And you can scarcely view with equanimity the feeble makeshift society we'd have without the finance company. Maple Leaf IODE Has October Meet The October meeting of the Maple Leaf Chapter, IODE, was held at the home of Miss E. Cooper with the ,regent, Mrs. R.

The Company's total sales to Yugosl via since the contract was rnacle - ' 1. - 5 now amount to $18,33,000. =x .* * Next thing to collapse Would be our whole political system. How can you have democracy if' every- body is thankful forwhat he has? Think of the consternation if the usual windbag who seeks office, saying: "It is only on the insistence of my many friends that 1 run, and my only thought is to work ceaselessly to serve my country and my fellow -taxpayers of this banner riding," were to say, when approached, "Nat. I dowanna run for parliament. I like it here on the farm." Without politicians, our country would be in a sorry state. It would be like a good ripe cheese without the maggots. There's no use pursuing the whole idea any further. The very thought of the shambles we'd'° be in, if we all started being thankful, makes my blood run cold. Busi- ness ruined, democracy lost. Why, 'f we let this thankfulness get out f hand, we'd be just a mass of mis- ided Christians wading around up to the knees in the milk of human kindness. Such anarchy might eve start us thinking about some 7of the people of the world who have a lot less to be thankful for than we have, and who knows where that might lead. Why, we'd be just as liable as not to give them a few billion bushels of wheat, or do something equally silly. * 4 4 It couldn't happen here, you say? That's what they said about rock 'n' roll, brother. It's not that simple. We've got to fight it. People are weak, you know. For example, suppose the farmers stop- ped complaining about the wea- ther, and just said: "I'm thankful we had a good crop last year, and Ma and I have our health. There'll either be a crop failure or there won't, and there isn't much I can do about it." That may be true, but the first farmer who said it would be destroying a tradition that goes back thousands of years. ., * o U What do you suppose would hap - ren if schoolteacher stopped kick. mg about being underpaid, and admitted they were thankful to work in cosy classrooms, get lots 1 of holidays, and retire „honorably with a reasonable/ pension? I'II tell you what would happen. All kinds of younW people would want to be schoolteachers. Imagine where that could lead. Think what would happen if all steady drinkers in the world suddenly became thankful they were not yet alcoholics, and stop- ped guzzling. Millions of waiters, brewers, truck drivers, distillers and salesmen would be jobless. Governments, - deprive& of all that tax revenue, 'would fall like spent rockets. There'd be no money for baby bonuses. The Birthrate would fall, there'd be enough housing to go around and the builders and money -lenders would be out . of business. 4. 4 4 4 By now, 1 hope you have the picture. Society, and the world as we know it, would crumble into dust if this being -thankful business got the bit in its teeth. So, on Thanksgiving ©ay, keep a ,,tight rein. bon't let yourself bo carried away. Just keep in mind the cal- amitous consequences. if you let it get out of hand and scowl, brother, scowl.
