Saturday In Sea- or hustle bustle world blinded us to reality? (Mcllwralth photo) Are we all spending so much time criticizing an-ksgiving time to say thanks JOAN CRONIN '345.2772 By now you have made all your plans for this Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving is 'considered by some people as a long weekend which. gives them one extra day off work or away froth school studies. For others it is a chance to load up the family and head home to mothers or grandma's for one of her superb home cooked meals. No doubt it will be the traditional turkey dinner with ally the trimmings and topped off ,with the Seasonal pumpkin or apple pie for dessert. As we all sit down and squabble over who gets the leg or who gets a wing, 1 wonder if anyone gave any thought to those who have never seen or tasted a turkey, but live on a daily diet of rice. We are living in a coup f lenty, where people are so blinded by a lifest+}le of I want, I need or everybody has, that we tend to forget how overly blessed we all are. Society today is so caught up in their struggle for greater wealth and achievement in the monetary world that they overlook the riches they now have. Even though we may own a dozen pairs of shoes, we still aren't 'satisfied, the shoes must match our new outfit or they must be the newest style. I wonder how we would' feel about styles if we did not have a foot to wear them on. When you see people like the late Terry Fox and now Steve Fonyo, who struggle on while overcom- ing their handicap in order to help others find the strength and courage to live on, we should give thanks for the fine example these young people are setting. Thanksgiving doesn't just mean a time to give thanks for the sumptuous dinner, but it should also be a time for a deeper sense of gratitude. Does anyone ever give thanks for their gift.ofsight, speech, hearing, snfell, touch or of just being? Has life in the fast lane BY WILMA OKE "This must be some kind of a record," said board chairman Ronald Murray of Dublin when the Huron-Pei'th County Roman Catholic Separate School Board meeting was adjourned Monday night. The trustees had been in session only one hour and 20 minutes and a half hour of that was spent in committee of the whole. "There must be a game (on television)," said one trustee as they picked up their papers and headed for home. Two visitors who had arrived only minutes before to observe the meeting picked up their purses and quietly left. During the session, the board agreed that if an emergency evacuation of Bruce County ever took place, the Huron -Perth School board would give temporary housing for Bruce students and residents in its schools if required. In other business, the board appointed three trustees --Gerald Groothuis of Seaforth, Michael Moriarty of Bayfield and John Devlin of Stratford, to sit as members of the co-operative action committee. This commit- tee will be appointed annually and will meet with a similar committee of four teachers to discuss matters of mutual concern. The board hopes the meetings will result in mutual benefit to trustees, teachers and parents and that they'll contribute to the common good of the school system. Members of the teachers' committee will be appointed by the local unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association. The board received a summer school report held at St. Patrick's school in Dublin for learning handicapped children. This year, the school included a pilot project of instruction for 160 pupils who are gifted. William Eckert, director of education, said this was the first time the board has offered a summer program for the gifted. He expected it would be continued another year. "1 think both these groups can benefit from the program and the experiences that are Brucefield news ISABEL SCOTT 482-7135 Mr. and Mrs. Ken Britton and family were guest speakers at a special Sunday evening service at Brucefield United Church.
