This year, Thanksgiving Day has been set apart from Armistice Day, which is now a separate holiday to be known as Remembrance Day, and is being observed by itself. There is merit in the change. There was little in common between .a day given over to Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessings he has bestowed on this fair Do- minion and the day which was set aside in honor of those young Canadians who gave their lives in honor and make possible a vic- torious Armistice. It is fitting that these two occasions should be observed separate- ly, and the parliament of Canada, by the act which set aside Remembrance Day as a national holiday each year, recognized that fact. On Monday, the people of Canada will give over their thoughts te thanksgiving for the many blessings which providence has bestowed on this country, and , in spite of the conditions which prevail today, they are many. There are few countries so greatly blessed as Canada. In spite of the 'depression which prevails, there is some comfort in the thought that this country is not suffering nearly so acutely as many other countries are doing, and in the often expressed assurance that Canada will be one of the first nations to return to normal conditions of prosperity. It is true that there are many who will feel that they have little for which to be thankful that the hardships they are undergoing are worse 'than they can bear. Yet it is well to re- member that even those who are suffering from depression can. be' thankful that things are not worse than they are, that ~ .vthey live in a country which 'will see to it that they are provided with the necessities of life, that will see that they are enabled to tide themselves over the period of hard , times. Canadians have good reason to be thank- i ful for the harvests which have been gar- 'inered. In Ontario, nature has been. bene- ficient, and even if in the west there have "been many crop failures, yet on the whole "the country has fared well, and the very «fact that the crops are below the average may prove a blessing, since that may be a . great factor in creating better prices for % the products of the field of Canada. And, above all, we have all reason to be thankful for the gift of life itself, for the means of sustaining life, There are none who are so poor that they cannot think of : some things for which they can give thanks. And so, when the Thanksgiving festival is "with us, let us all examine ourselves, ex- { amine the circumstances with which we are 'surrounded, and with hearts attuned to the sheart of Almighty God, "Let us Give Thanks." Discussing Unemployment The plan to hold a public meeting on Wed i nesday next in the King Street United : Church, to discuss the question of unem- | ployment, is a happy thought. The pres- ' ent problem is one which requires the con- ~ centration of the best brains of the commu- I nity to solve it, and out of a meeting of : this character, if those who lead in the dis- "cussions are properly representative of the . community, much good might come. In a time like the present, there should be a . solid uniting of all-those forces in the com- munity which have any contribution to make towards the solution of the problem, and if next Wednesday's meeting is made i fully representative, and the plans tend in . that direction, it will bring to bear on the © problem all the light that is available, ~The matter should not be allowed to rest, however, at the holding of a meeting, and It is not likely that it will. Out of this | meeting there should come some construc- tive thought and action. One line of activ- ity which might be suggested is the forma- : tion of a local employment council, compos- ~ ed of a group of men representative of all interests in the community not too large a \ group, because that would be impractical, but a small group which could make an in- . tensive study of the local conditions and the ~ possibilities for increasing employment, | with power to place its suggestions before He proper people to have them made effec- ver tives of the manufacturers in various lines, the business and professional men, the merchant class, the working classes generally, and the war veterans, for it latter citizens have a special prob- lem of their own which requires considera- . defend herself, This group should be composed of tion. The formation of such an employ- ment council, if it were composed of men who would take their responsibilities seri- ously, and would really get down to busi- ness on this problem, would be a happy and effective result of a meeting such as is proposed, and the suggestion is thrown out 80 that those who are sponsoring the meeting may give it consideration before next Wednesday, and make inquiries as to whether or not there are citizens of the right type prepared to give their services on a body of this kind. ' Japan Riding the High Horse ' Reports from China and Japan are dis- quieting. It is small wonder that the peo- ple of China are rising in indignation and demanding that their government take drastic action against the Japanese inva- ders, for that is exactly what they are, It is small wonder than an urgent meeting of the council of the League of Nations has been called to consider the protests of Chi- na against the deliberate waging of war up- on her people by Japan, It used to be said that it took two nations to make a war, but one single nation is making a pretty good job of it in Manchuria, Without any active or armed retaliation, Japan is bomb- ing and bombarding towns, killing scores of Chinese citizens, and doing things which normally follow a declaration of war. And China has not, so far, lifted a hand even to One can hardly imagine any other modern nation which would sub- mit to the treatment which China has been given by Japan without hitting back, At the last session of the council of the League of Nations, Japan made a plea to allow the two nafions to compose their own differences, and the council agreed. Jap- ans idea of composing differences, however, seems to be that of the bully whose idea of an agreement ig the imposition of his will, backed up by brute strength, upon a weak- er fellow-being. Japan is not trying to set- tle differences. She is trying to ride rough -shod over the weaker Chinese people, and to enforce her rule by means of the sword. Unless the League of Nations deals sternly with Japan in this matter, it is just a ques- tion of how long the Chinese people will al- low themselves to be trodden under foot. Japan is riding the high horse at the pres- ent time, but there is grave danger that, unless there is a marked change in her at- titude inthe Manchurian trouble, the world will find a first-class war raging in the Or- ient, and there will be no difficulty in deci- ding which country is the agressor. Other Editor's Commerits PERTINENT FACT (Sault Ste, Marie Star) It wis a strange experience for a Star reporter to go to vur neighboring American city and find out that banks there would not change a $5 Ameri- can bill into Canadian money. Any Canadian mon- ey the banks there get is sent over to Canadian Soo banks at the New York discount, There was noth ing personal about the matter, Canadian money simply had no value as far as the banks were con cerned, New York is doubtful about the ability of Cana da to pay its, way, Our railroads, our war debis, our pensions, our provincial and municipal commit- ments, it is stated, are of a size which the U.S, banking system thinks too great for a population of ten millidn people, It is a rude shock which Canada is getting. The lesson clearly is that Dominion, provincial and muni cipal expenditure must be cut drastically, When a foreign bank looks askance at your cred it, the thing to do is to not suarrel with the bank, It has a right to lend where and to whom it likes The thing to do is to improve your credit standing, The way to do that is to retrench, AN INCENTIVE TO STAY IN CANADA (Hank, in St, Thomas Times-Journal) Some years ago, when the Canadian dollar was, oft about four points on the New York stock ex change, 'we visited Cleveland and suffered the hu miliation of having our Canadian money discounted 20 per cent. Those Americans looked at our money as if it were something afflicted with plague germs, They won't get another chance to do that, As long as the Canadian dollar is under par on the New York curb, we're going to stay in Canada and spend in Canada. The trouble is that there are many Canadians who won't follow our example, BITS OF HUMOR I arose with great alacrity To offer her my seat; "T'was a question whether she or § Should stand upon my feet, -------- "Does your husband ever say anything about his mother's fooking." : "No; but he says things about my cooking that his father used to say about his mother's cooking!" ---------- "You ought to have a thorough caning," snapped the irate old gentleman.

This city classes itself, and is apparently proud of this classification, ss "an industrial centre," and yet no community, large or small, urban or rural, agricultural, edueation- al, or industrial, can exist and de velop without any and all of the others, The Kiwanis Club is be- ing of real gervice to the city when it fosters a closer relation- ship with the rural districts, ; \d Ad Ld The Towm Crier has heard many prominent men and women preach "economy" from the pub- lic platform during the last few months and may, perhaps, be for- given for his comment that it is always one who is comparatively fortunate in the possession of this world's goods,--depression or no depression----,who tries to teach the less fortunate on this important matter, One never hears of a comparatively poor man or woman standing up to preach economy to the rich, and yet is it not, after all, the rich who should practise it rather than the poor, The Town Crier got particularly hot under the collar recently when he was forced to sit and listen to one of Oshawa's prominent citizens preach econo- my to a group of other citizens, especially as he realized that if every member of the audience saved ten per cent of his or her income the aggregate total would not amount to five per cent of the speaker's income, Unfortunate- ly a large proportion of Oshawa's population have to practise ec- onomy at the present time, whe- ther they have ever attended a course of lectures on the subject or not, and the lectures at this late date do not help very much, ~it is only "rubbing it in," LJ Ld LJ Monday is Thanksgiving Day and it is to be supposed that there are some families in Oshawa who will ask themselves if, after all, they have very much to be thank- ful for, At first sight it may ap- pear that with a great deal of unemployment prevailing, and Canada still in the throes of one of the most critical periods in her history, there may be very little real giving of thanks, On the other hand 'Thanksgiving Day must, in Its true sense, be a per- sonal and individual matter and If each Individual really asks the question with which this para- graph opened in all sincerity the Town Crier feels that, with the great majority, the answer must be "Yes."

After all are not the general public, whose business the comittees are tran- sacting, interested in the proceed Inga?

The whole operation is under the direct super- vision of an experienced herdsman, Andrew Bahr, In order that proper care might be taken of the animals when they arrive in the Mackenzie delta, three families, numbering ten persons, in all, were brought from Lapland, Norway, by the Canadian Govern- ment. These families, conducted north by A. E. Porsild, of the North West Territories branch, have reached Kitipazult, on the Arc- tic ocean northeast of Aklavik where proper quarters have been established, The Government's object in pur- chasing the reindeer trom the Lo- men Corporation of New York is to ensure to the aboriginal inhabitants of the north a regular supply of 1 GOLD OWNERSHIP DISPUTE FORSEEN French, Italian and British Claims to Egypt's Treasure Parig.~--An interesting ques- tion has been raised by the news- paper "I/Oeuvre,'"" as to the.own- ership of the sunken treasure in the liner Egypt. \ It is known that when the Egypt sank she had in her strong room b% tons of gold Ingots £80,000, in gold coins, and 43 tons of sliver, It seems very like- ly that all this treasure will be recovered within the next few das, The question is, as the "Oeuvre"' asks, to whom it will belong? Law of 1548 The Egypt was sunk nine years ago In collision with a French steamer, and now lies off Brest in French territorial waters, French law governing treasure trove at sea dates from the year 1643, when Francis I. decreed that the owners of ship-wrecked vessels held their rights of pro- prietorship for one year after the sinking of any ship, In the year 1681 Richelieu issued a decree confirming this, but added that after one year anything recovered from the wreck was to be divided into three parts, One part belonged to the admiral commanding the district, another one to the King of France, and the remaining third to the salvage workers who had recovered the wreck or the treasure which it contained, The law on the subject was changed through the Revolution, for in the year 9 of the Revolu- tionary Calendar it was ruled that the senior naval officer of the district should have complete charge of all property recovered from any wreck, The shares of the admiral and of the King were after the Revolution made over to the Invalides (then a home for wounded soldiers), leaving one-third of the treasure to the salvage workers, A point of some importance is whether the owners of the Egypt, after the loss of their vessel abandoned thelr claims upon ft. If they did so, then it weuld ap- pear that the Italian salvage company would be entitled to claim, in addition to its expenses, one-third of the treasurs recov- ered, the other two-thirds going to the Invalides, There will certainly be claims upon the gold by the underwrit- ers and the Italian salvage com- pany. But the great question seems to be to what extent tha insurance of the vessel provided against these old French laws, STAINED GLASS IN CHARTERS FAMOUS Notre Dame Has Stood in Beauty 800 Years The spires of the cathedral at Chartres, France, jut high into the sky over a welter of small, depressed houses, Below, the streets are narrow and steep, They run in almost {gnominous labyrinths through the little provincial town, about 50 miles southwest of Paris, Chartres was founded in 600 B.C. The cathedral was started fn about the 12th century.
