ThanksoivnsJ Monday October 13, 1941, bas been proclaimed Thanks- giving Day. In peacetime there was a reverent element in this particular day because it marked the close of the productive capacity of the fields; the craps had been garnered, food sup- plies stored, and anly a few apples, roots and pumpkins remain- ed, hardily, outdoors amidst frosty mornings and falling leaves. Russet and vermillon fiamed among the maples. The year had reached its brief senility. Poets might declaixn "the melanchaly days are here, the saddest of the year," but to those wbo toiled, it meant a pause of thankfulness, simple festivities, the realiza- tion that eternal providence had carried them through to security, seldom to affluence. Only in the countryside can Thanksgiving Day reach its ful appreciation and register its true significance. To those in cities it is largely just dâiother holiday, a day to see a football game and an evening free to dance. The mai esty and salemnity af the day and the season brmngs pause and thoughtfulness te ah to few in the busy cities. High overhead, unobserved from the cîties' canyoned streets, the wild geese honk southward. In the country, their passage is noted. It is one more sign eat winter is in the offing and plowing must be hastened. Such was the time-honored peacetime observance of a merited annual holiday. Now, in the midst of war, Thanksgiving Day is to be ob- served but the scene is vastly changed. The countryside is largely denuded af its youth. There are those who, bowed with overwork in harvesting weed-grown and depleted acres, are wondering what there is ta be thankful for. The madcap cele- br'ations go farward in the cities but there remain in the country, neither the fuflness -of production for the close-knit, peacetime, fireside, family circle. Winter's looming uncertainties mar the wholesomeness of tis day of Thanksgiving. Thus bas war in- truded; the heavy hand of a foreign war-lord faUls upon every country farmstead. Much more llghtly has it touched the urban homes. Thanksgiving, 1941, seems ail too much like "Just another day." But let us lit aur eyes to stricken Europe, to bombed and beseiged Britamn, with no "'Thanksgiving filled" cellars, with ears attuned for the Stuka's scream, and let us be thankful. We are three thousand miles from scenes where those who survive give prayers of thankfulness that the wreckage was not worse and that the fae still, hestitates beyond the channel. For us then, it is a Urne for supreme thankfulness. In this third year af war we must be thankful that we have seen . a dearth of casualty lists. Let us be thankful that ours is the privilege and the duty ta strive forward at hard toil and longer hours, with restricted pleasures, to the end that those who brave the dangers shahl have what our land can produce. Let us forget the shortcomings of a government, which while decreeing a day of national Thanksgivîng, creates the inequalities in wartime that make of country li1e on farms, a place of tail from day to day for those who have long smnce earned the right to rest and conmfort wîtb. their children and grandchi.ldren about them. So long as the breath of 111e animates the "saît of the earth" there will be thanksgiving for the bounties of nature that spring from sali and toil and sweat and 1tears. This is the Thanksgiving resolution of the farmer. Dare anyone deny it?

FAMERS FORCED TO YIELD LAND FOR SUPER ROAD While bhe Dominion gavera- ment is asking moborists ta eut gas consumption 50%, the pro- vincial Department aI Hsghways is pushing pragros on Uic new four-lune highway ta extend east Irom Toronto.

Gibson said also that whcn bbc Dominion Government first learned that this institution was available they proposed ta use it as an air training centre but later wben the question af housing Gorman prisaners came up, Bow- manville was chosen, after cure- fui consideration, as Uic lagicul place. Ia roaponse ta a questian abaut the type af treatracat tbey would receive, ho said that guards would be numerous and troatment good but tbe prisaners would not be pampered.
