day for canadians next week when by proclamation we a a people are asked to give thank for all we received thanksgiving day for canadians is next monday it is more than another holiday wtten one looks around it may be consider ed that one day in the year n not enough for thanksgiving and certainly it isnt every day is one in which we may well count our blessings never was there so much comfort tn every day living for man go where you will you see a growing develop ment more opportunities for those who seek them advancement in health for all people comfort in living methods to enumerate item is an endless task most of our hardships art of our own making while everyone must admit that our blessing come from an all wise providence a rulmrt hand thai sees all and cares for all if we only heed its guidance so on monday give thanks count your blessings and pause for a moment and reel ie lhat all good comes from god and the only way we can continue to advance is by our thankfulness and obedience to his will a culprit in confusion perhaps in this immediate section the 4y light saving time is not causing the same inconvenience it is elsewhere we often wonder who is it really or what group it r that continually seeks changes in lime each spring a letter goes oui to municipal coun cits from an association connected m name al lea it wiih the railways each year the railways as a whole continue to pay no at teniion to daylight time and operate on sian dard time it is usually claimed that many municipalities are going on the daylight hour but we have never yet seen a list of municipalities who have requested this asso ciation to act for them we kave seen innumerable protests again st daylight saving lime and this yeir more are protesting the action m lengthening the period to the end ot october trie wmgham advance calls it a thorough mess and goes on to point out the confus ion that is resulting from the cutra month this year the smiths falls record news asks why the time extension and expresses op posit ies to the extra month this year it points out some things that many folks would tike to know we asked when the question was first raised who is the railway association again we ask who is the railway associa tion nobody seems to know yet the group mutt be powerful what good is the extra hour of daylight now would be better to have it in the early morning hours and those who have to go lo employment by 8 a m would not feel that they had to arise in what seemed the middle of the night we hope that next year the period of daylight sav ing time will revert to the period m effect in previous years from last sundd in april to the last sunday in september at home and abroad wt didnt know the background forhe trouble in little rock we never heard of the place until the fuss was stirred up about wqreqatton or integration it seems that many who have courage seem thoroughly ashamed of it all and deplore the action that has been stirred up we don t know why trance cant get anyone- to lead a govern- vlv we dont know why leaders of the union can have atl the reporteddoing charg- d against trim endtube toadenhrp by the membership aa dont 1tnbw- why strikers in murdoch- villa ou can suffer for months and then be told from montreal to go back 10 wok and do the best they can for themselves we dont know why russians or anybody wants to start a whir lay gig rounding around in space weve always iked our sun end moon and stars the way they are end theyve never done us any harm knowing nothing about tliese thincis we are not going to add further to the contusion and only admit our ignor ance to all those who read and dwell upon tlcsf tilings ond un do nothing si bout them we can only express our sympathy we do know intimately about things closer at home in ha i ton county in its township and towns in our home and niujht be able to do some thing to help we wonder many times if there wouldnt lx more happiness and more improvement in general well tiring if each of us would pay more attention lo the ihinqs at hand than becoming confused over world matter of which we know nothing and arc made quale to gve any assistance pensions not the answer a striking fact aloul the population of canada as of all or nearly all advanced countries is a steady gam in average age wrrm j b mcgeachy in tle financial post ttve proportion of people over 65 is mcreas mg among every 1 000 canadians now liv ing 78 have passed that age the number was only 55 in 1931 thrs aging process is sure to continue as medicine and sanitation make progress ex peciation cf life tor a new born canadian in fanl is now about 70 years it may be 80 or 90 before this century ends it follows that at least some of the extra income required for a higher standard of living among he aged no longer the right word for the average man of 70 will have to be either earned or saved in ad vance no feasible increase in old age pen sions will suffice any realistic approach to the problem must recognise this forced retirement from work at age 65 is as i sec it sure to become as obsolete as the sacrifice of maidens to the fertility god beware charity crooks massed charily drives are now under way across canada along with the honest canvassers some of ihe countrys canniest sharpslers went in to action warns the financial post the crooks will use every trick in the book to fleece business givers and cheat charities of their contributions a few simple rules should help you sep arate the shady operators from the honest charily campaigners don i reply to telephone solicitations don t donate advertisements reading compliments of a friend sharpsters can sell the same space over and over ask for credentials of canvassers looking for ensh if you have any doubts
