Publisher Hi4ppy THA NjKSGi VING This weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving, the traditional holiday of celebrating harvest and the agricultural lifestyle, as well as giving thanks for everything that we have. The holiday first began in the United States in 162 1, making it totally a North Amenican holiday. The holiday began when Plymouth governor William Bradford invited neighbouring Indians to join the Pilgrims for a three-day festival of recreation and feastipig in gratitude for the bounty of the season. By the end of the l9th century,' Thanksgiving Day hadbecome an institution throughout New England and was officially declared a national holiday by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. The traditional feast of turkey and pumpkin pie has since become a part of Nort h American culture. Canada came rather late to the feast, only proclaiming the second Monday in October Thanksgiving in 1879. Have you ever noticed that you feel s1leepy after a- big meal of turkey? Apparently it is not the amount of food that you have consumed, but some chemical found in turkey. As one announcer on CFRB said on Monday. turkey should corne with a warning label "Do Not Operate Heavy Machinery After Consuming." Thanksgiving is a time of many things. It is a time to welcome in the faîl colours. It means Hal loween is around the corner. This year it also means that Christmas decorations are starting to appear up at stores near you. But is also is a time for us to spend time with family and be thankful for what we a Il have. Just like the very first Thanksgiving, when people from two very different cultures came together and share in the fruits of the earth, we should taRe the time to appreciate what we have. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. KI DNAPPED continued from page 1 pect ran off.

The iwo men man- aged to jump the man when he tripped before jumping a fence and held him for police to arrive. The abduction of the girl right oui her home has shaken many Bowmanville residenis to the core. Many people in the area often left their doors open ai night. Something of this magnitude happening in a close-knit community like Bo.wmanville is something peo- ple while flot soon forget. St. Saviour s Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Minister: Rev.

Applicants- will be short-listed by the chair- persons' committee and inter- viewed by the board of trustees. At thse same board meeting, trustees approved the expulsion of ihree students from'all high schools in its jurisdiction. The decision was made at the closed portion of the board meeting.
