The day has evolved over the years into a harvest-season recognition and the blessings we, in Canada, do enjoy of a most bountiful and rich land. We are a fort unate people living in a nation being most prosperous in a hungry world. There is tolerance, generosity as well as a safeguard and respect of our liberties. Famine, war and despotism is foreign to our shores. One has only to recail the recent news commen- taries and film footage of such events as in Lebanon and in other parts of the world to realize what we in Canada have amassed over the years. Truly we have much to thank God for. GOLDEN HORSE SHOE LOOKS TOý THE FUTURE With the Ministry of Transportation and Communication announcement last week of a $3 billion public transit system affecting ant area from Hamilton to Oshawa and north into Metro Toronto politicians look for a boom in the economny of the area. The scheme, starting with extension of public transit in the next four years from Oshawa to Pickering and Oakville to Hamilton, is to take some twenty years in completion. Local politicians in Durham and the Town of Newcastle are high in their support of the announcement and look to the development of the rapid transit system front Oshawa to Pickering as one to create a greater interest and development in the southern sector of the Region. Many look for a boom period in industrial, commercial and residential development. Certainly the province cannot continue to build roads to move people efficiently and effectively and the proposed rapid transit system would appear to be an ideal solution to ease this movement. It must be remembered however, there have been other pro- vincial projects as the Toronto-Centred Region Concept unveiled with great fanfare in 1970 and the Central Ontario Lakeshore Urban Complex a few years later. Both proposais must now be collecting dust and little was heard of them after their presentation. It is felt however, that the rapid transit plan, especially in early developments, has a good opportunity to proceed for a numrber of reasons. The extension of service of a transit system from Pickering east to Oshawa has held a high profile locally for a number of years and pressure is likely to continue from at least the Region of Durham and its municipalities along the lakefront. Further the province would like to introduce its systemt of subway-Iike cars in the extensions fromn Pickering and Oakville. Whether or not the new systemt between Oshawa and Picker- ing will create an immediate boom in the Region is ques- tionable and as the planner for the Town of Whitby states, "We will have to wait and se." The service between Oshawa and Pickering does exist now being provided through the use of buses. The new systemn would be faster but still requiresthe transfer at Pickering. No one thing is going to brîng boom times to any area at the pre- sent time or in the forseeable future. The economy wiIl have a great effect. The announicemrent of the rapid transit system is a step in) the right direction, however, and over the years coul'd play a big part in any development that may come to southern Ontario. Ilt is to be hoped the provinces continues with the scheme. Ne wton ville wells (Contînued from page 1) ville area have been severly contaminated with sewvage wastes.

Then the, three Hellebust brothers Roîf, Steven, and Andrew played on their in- struments, "A Thanksgiving Prayer," and "We gather together to seek the Lord's Blessing." The ser<mon topic was- "Thanksgiving." One day for Thanksgiving for the Christian, it should be three hundred and sixty four days of Thanksgîving and one day for complaining. On a sticker was the words, "I complain- cd because 1 had no shoes tilI 1 saw a man who had no feet." The Pilgrim Fathers decided to leave England for a better and more peaceful way of living. The first year was most discouraging and half of their number died from lack of food. Sometimes it was five grains of corn a day. Then the winter was cold but the se- cond year the harvest was abundant so the governor decidcd to proclaim a day of Thanksgiving to God. Ever since we have had that Thanksgiving day each year. A little boy was given a candy by a lady. His mnother said, "Did you say thanks." The lady said, "H1e doesn't have to say thanks he has it." That is the, way with a lot of us. We don't say thanks to the Giver we have it. In a new store the manager was giving a gift to each child. The mnother asked her little daughter if she remembcred to say thanks.

" Jesus tells us they mur- mured against the good man of the house because the later comers got the same wages as those who Iaboured aIl day. They murmured against Jesus because he ate with Publicans and sinners. When God created the world he saw that if was good. Let us keep it that way. Everyman must die but even s0 every man shaîl be made alive in Christ. Thanks be to God that giveth us the vic- tory. Thank God for the things material and spiritual.

The west end of our church has been re-decorated this week. School because the atten- dance is down. One parent at the meeting asked, "Suppose things should change and suddenly our attendance increased, what then?" Superintendent Knapper said, "That is vcry unlikely in the fôreseeable future our forecasts have pro- ved to>be very accurate." WeillI saw it happen in the- last depression. 1 was teaching a rural school. On Monday morning there would be -a new family. Where are they living? "Oh they are going to live in the old sugar shanty on the north end of the Smith place. They were evicted in Toronto, from their home. Every shack was soon fill- ed. 1 knew two brothers. One bought a farmn, milked cows and kept hens. Then he cut his alfalfa early and on that good land a rank second crop grew each year which went tô seed. He sold the seed at a big price and paid for his farm. His younger brother married and obtained a good job in the city. Then in the thirties the company collfapsed., There was no unemployment insurance. What was the family to do? His older brother said, "This is a big house we can divide it. You're welcome to live in haîf our house. We'll give you ail the milk, eggs, butter and firewood you need if you help cut it . We can't pay any wages with butter and fifteen cents a pound and eggs at fif- teen cents a cfozen." So they wvere glad to come. Fathers left their families in Toronto to ride the rails. Mothers couldn't control their grow- ing lads. The Police were call- ed when a gang would knock over a fruit stand grab the fruit and run. What were the police to do? So they talked it over with the Children's Aid. This was the plan they formed. Board the lads that are the leaders with a farmer who has a boy of the same age. The farmners were hard up. They agreed to accept a boarder. Four of them came to my school. So in a little rural school sur- rounded by farms 1 soon was teaching forty-four pupils and ail the eight grades.
