Bunk is still carrying the flag
and fighting! the good fight
against the' toils ° of that
anaconda, Big . Business.
But this is a little hard to
take. Originally, there was im-
mense pride in °this day, which
was 'wrested from the vested.
But today, Canadians who know
that the unions are just as big
as, or bigger' than, Big Business,
sensibly pursue some other en-
tertainment, like grabbing one
more weekend in, the fun and
sun.
Well, as you can- see, I've'
been leadingyou relentlessly
and inexorably toward the only
holiday. that grabs Canadians-
right where they live, •whether
it's in the head or the bowels.
Thanksgiving!
Talk about flags and speeches
and drum -rolls. We don't even
have to lay them on. Nature
does it all for us. •
The flags are not the Union
Jack or the Fleur de Lis or the
Hammer and Sickle. They are a
blaze of scarlet and gold that
don't speak, but quell the
human heart in their
magnificence.
And, 'paradoxically, they
speak. They say, "You'll never
see anything like this, anywhere
else in your life, buster."
And the drums roll, over
golden "valleys and blue water
.--.�..aaad-pu p e -h e; rhtsl eu
to weep with the. thought that
all this cannot last.
And the ducks duck, and the
fish flyaway, and, the golf shot
goofs, but you have had the un-
paralleled privilege of being a
Canadian at Thanksgiving.
Did' you give thanks to
whatever your god is? Did. you
say a little litany because the
Canadians weren't disgraced, in
Russia, and fought 'their good
fight. And foght. And• foght.
Happy to be alive? Healthy?
Old but not licked? Young but
not confused? Give thanks,
chaps. We're mighty, mighty
lucky.

With that searching look, Donald seems to be asking what in
the world the. photographer Is up -tu. It is not an unusual ex-
pressipn for Donald because thisyoungster is always curious.
Donald ' is- an ' appealing; "irea1tii tad erv Mte`- infd Indian

and sturdily built, with brown) eyes, dark hair and dark 'skin. Ile
• wears glasses' for near?sightedness but like most small boys
prefers to leave then) off.
This young fellow's early' development was uneven. In
ways he• seemed very intelligent -- at three' he kne
alphabet and colors. In other ways he was extremely backward
so that the Children's, Aid Society doctorssuspected he might
have sustained brain damage at - birth,
Ilowever, recent exhaustive tests at the hospital for Sick
Children produeed'a happy verdict: There is no brain damage
and he' has good intelligence,
In school Donald has been under average but is beginningto
achieve. Ile is doing sone Grade one work this year.
Donald is friendly, outgoing, impulsive and active. He enjoys
working with his, hands and has a limitless- imagination. •
Donald needs energetic parents who will give him love, un-
derstanding, stimulation and the security of having a home and
motheraand father of his own.
