'I'hanksslv1n: Day. leszi What shall we do with it? shall -we on our Islanri farms take up its at- faire. its ”petty round of irritating concerns Ind duties." to find them nothing else but that? shall we grumble about its brand of weather, if it chances to delay or set aside our planned endeavours of work or play? or complain over our lot. . . so commonplace it is. earth-bound and even t.oilsome- a hum-dru.m existence. we may deem it with "no future" ahead and little that was satisfying in the past.

Or before the words are formed

. on our lips shall we not pause to

realise that our line: have indeed fallen in pleasant places? For Thanksgiving Day is we believe first of all a time of reckoning on our part - an occasion to weigh well Providence's favors received, to return heart-felt thanks.

And where shall we begin .. . what will head our list of bless- ings? Home . . . Family . . . friends; gift of field and pasture and garden; mellow beauty of day, peace and serenity of night? How should we presume to select that of most moment to us, from so many? Even life itself, withal its thorns, its cares, so sweet.

Yet sometimes, queer ones that humans are, We fail to find many blessings in our own lives or the

circumstances about. but yearn for those we may fancy are en- joyed by another . . . "Count your

blessings, name them one by onei" we recall hearing a helper of a family of the long ago sing as she scrubbed and sanded with chalky sand the knotty worn floor of a porch.

She stopped a moment. in her work to push aside a curl from her eyes and caught sight then of her young audience. They waited at the doorway an opportunity to make a safe dash along the shin- ing b'oards to the kitchen beyond. She chuckled with an air of dis- gust. "Why am I eingln' that?" she queried. "I ain't got no blessin's!" "Oh, but you have!” one of the small fry volunteered earnestly. "You tell me . . . just one!” the girl challenged. "You have usl" the child answered. "Now ain't that the truth of it!" the other ex-

claimed, "and me to have to be reminded of it by a wee one like you!"

O C O

Blessings? Ccrunt -them someone has said, and even if you forget a hundred or more, you will have such a full list that your heart will be glad and you will know that.in l-lis Heaven God loves all- His children!”

And shall we not then acknowl- edging these, this, another Thanks- giving Day return this Thanksgiv- ing Prayer?

"Thou who didst multiply

A little laddiels food,

so that it did supply

A hungry multitude-

"rls from Thy hand we feed:

And Lord-us thankful make.

And mindful of the need

of others. for Thy sake. Amen."

Before I get down to the real- object of this, column I warit to tell the members to be. sure to read the account of our energetic and efficient ” l president, Mrs. W. R. Walton. as given in e

sine. It not only tells about our outstanding leader but it gives an overall picture of the scope of work being done by O. A. 0. right across the country.

The specific objectives of G.A.O. are classified as follows by Mrs. Walton:--

nel of communication of informa- tion between Canadian . women (who do 8579 of the buying) and the producers, processors and mer- chandisers.

(b) To study consumer problems and make recommendations for their solution. i

(c) To circulate information on matters of consumer interest con-i cernlng goods. qualities, standards, services and values. ,

(d) To bring to the attention of other 'econom.ic groups, the opin- ions of consumers and to provide as strong a voice for consumers as national associations now give to trade, slndustry-. labor and agricul- ture. thus completing the partner- ship of our economy in which the chief purchaser has too long been silent.

Actually, the primary interest of consumers is to buy the "most and best for the least".

They are interested in the qual- lty of the things they buy, their purity and safety: they are' inter- ested in simple, accurate and in- formative labelling: in uniform standards and grading. In other words they want to know exactly what they are buying and how to get the best for their money.

The September bulletin has just come in and it is full of interest- ing information about the new regulations governing flour and bread which are to come into ef- fect Jan. hit. 1953, in every Pro- vince except Newfoundland where they became operative this past July. Theg too members will be happy to now that commencing last month weights are required to be shown on packages of soaps and detergents.

C. A. 0. Worked nearly two and a half years on this project and now it will be up to consumers to use their eyes-read the labels-- find the weight and then decide which size package is the most practical one for their household. You are now protected in that with the weights marked on the packages. the "guess" method of selection by weight will be no longer necessary.
