SO That AU May Give Thanks at Thanksgiving
lti 157 year since that January
y when the first Thanksgiving in
What is DOW Canada was observed.
The occasion was proclaimed by the
victorious British to mark their gain-
ing control over much of North AID -
erica,
The Thanksgiving which we ob-
. ferved oni Monday was not such an
*vent. It was, instead, a devout ex-
pression of thanks for the benefits
we, as Canadians, enjoy.
And there were many things for
allich to give thanks. Despite ad-
ditional work the harvest, which at
• OM time looked as though it could
be a bad loss, was in the main saved.
in fact, we are told by some that
yield often times has been higher
than last year.
gas
Then too, as Canadians, we are
enjoying bountiful prosperity. There
ie little unemployment and opportun-
ities prevail for all who seek them.
We, each of us, are to some degree
experiencing a higher standard of
living.
. It was right and proper that we
gave thanks. But perhaps that isn't
enough.
Perhaps we should not satisfy our-
', . selves with a complacent review of
our achievements but .look a little
more deeply into the way in which
prosperity is affecting some indus-
tries—particularly the farming in-
dustry.
in comrnunities such as that which
Seaforth serves, a bouyant agricul-
tural economy is essential to any
broad prosperity. While the farmer
today enjoys standards comparable
to those of his fellow citizen in town
and city the, return, he obtains for
his labor is less than that received
by labor generally. And, unfortun-
ately higher wages have meant high-
er prices for those things the farmer
must buy but not of the products he
sells. The net result is that the
farmer has not shared in the general
prosperity to the same extent as has
his urban neighbor.
Perhaps the farm problem is so
many-sided, so complex that no one
solution can be applied. But at this
Thanksgiving occasion it is well to
remember in reviewing the benefits
we have received that many of those
in our community have a problem
and that there is a responsibility on'
the part of everyone to take such
steps as may be necessary so that
those who today labor under he
handicap of an inadequate retiirn,
may share equally the benefits en-
joyed by their neighbor.
it Is verybody's Responsibility to Take Part
'They exist in every town. Sea- •
•?:'. • • forth has them as also has Clinton.
and Mitchell.
• We refer to the citizen who re-
fuses to take any part in municipal
affairs, who never attends a nom-
ination meeting or council' •.meeting
but who atevery opportunity engages •
in harping criticism of the manner
• in which those On council and mini-
,
• eipal. boards carry out their responsi-
bilities,
• The Meaford Express tells about
one such itizen in- that town and
adds a few words of pertinent com-
ment which can be appled with equal
.,.•
justice to towns everywhere.
The Express says, "The gentleman
in question .is .a ,successful' business.-
..
man, He pays all his obligations, in -
eluding his taxes. 'He 'says he objects
• to histaxes being used to'buy parks
•
and other thin he considers less
t • , essential to th :advancement of the
town. He wan s. to know why Bar-
rie and Collingwood are getting" new
• industries and the town council here
doesn'tdo. the same. He also says
his taxes are too high.
"We asked for some specific in-
stance where the town council was
tailing down on its job. He said there
-
were many, but did not name one.
"We asked him if he went to nom-
ination meetings. He said it did no
good; the same old clique was nom-
inated year after year. When it was
pointed out that only two people were
required to nominate a man to op-
pose the "cliques" he said they would-
n't be elected anyway. That might
be construed to mean the citizens of
Meaford were satisfied with the "cli-
ques" work in the past.
"He never goes to council meetings
to see how elected representatives Of
the town conduct municipal busi-
ness. He does not belong to a senvice
club because men just joined them,
for what they could get out of them.
He does not belong to the Chamber
of Commerce because he does not
think it accomplishes anything.
"Perhaps the town council, the
Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and
Kinsmen are not doing all the -things
the gentleman' thinks should be done
in Meaford. That is quite possible.
"It has probably ever occurred
to the dissatisfied gent -in that if
,he added a little of his spare time to
helping build up his municipality in-
stead of criticizing people who are
trying to do something with limited
. time and. too -little money Meaford
might become a town closer to what
he wants."
• Let's Prove That Barnum Was
It was the famous circus magnate,
P. J. Barnum, who is,eredited with
the well-known quip, "Thdre's a suck -
ti or horn every day."
Nowhere is the truth of this say-
,
lag better recognized than in the
Soviet Union. In fact, it is fair to
say that the well-founded assurnp-
',';', tbill that "There's a suckerknrn eyery
--- day" underlies the SO -called "new
look" of the policies of Soviet com-
altruism.
Khrushehev and other Kremlin'
leaders are astute enough to recog-
R' - like that people are naturally sus-
- vicious of those who claim political
and' economic infallibility. What,

Another lure for the gullihleis the
present Kremlin clique's professed
enthusiasm for discussion and "col-
lected leadership." Suckers of social-
ist persuasian, the Kremlin hopes,
will be Anick to grab the bait, in the
belief that the Soviet Union is ready
to reaffirm the dictatorship of the
proletariat
Yet another lure, specifically in-
tended to catch liberal -leftists who
dislike revolutions and have an a-
biding faith in parliamentary institu-
tions is the admission that parlia-
mentary action will, in many instane,
es, suffice to make the world 'safe for
socialism.
.
Finally, aimed mainly at the neu-
trol nations o Asia, is the Kremlin's
emphasis on "competitive co -exit-
ance," designed to lure the uncom-
mittAid into the belief that commun-
ism has more to offer in the way of
material rewards than the free econ-
omies of the 'West.
