For years the Harvest Home service on ” the Sabbath after crops had been safely garnered was a feature. not only in rural communities but in urban centres as well.

It is not to our credit if such an occasion had more significance and solemnity for our forefatliirs than it has for us. No doubt the coiidi- tions of modern life, especially in industrial communities, have broken

4, down the intimate relations with I nature which made the harvest the climax of the year. We put our faith in I complex system of food assem- , bly and distribution, miraculous enough in its operation, but mech- I anion! and unconnected with the rhythm of growth. Yet behind this creation of civilized man lies the t- same age-old process of seed-time i and harvest, without which we would starve just as surely as our pioneer forebears in their isolation. This is something to remember, and it is I well that opportunity should be , given to pause in the routine of ex- istence for that purpose. Despite unusual weather condl-. il lions this year, the crops in this Province have been excellent and in contrast with other parts our farm- ers have very special reasons for

thanksgiving. The fact is that we do not really know what a poor har- vest means in Prince Edward Island. It is only when we relate our phys- Y icsl well-being to that of hundreds of millions on the edge of destitu- tion throughout the world that we I get the true picture, and realize how many are the blessings we enjoy.

Officially celebrated on Monday, Thanksgiving will also be generally observed, in the churches tomorrow, with pecial services in many cases. This is as it should be. Whatever holiday activities we may be plan- ning for the statutory date. let us first of all give thanks.

While out- wardly. there is no sign of Soviet pressure on the Government of ice- land, it seems fairly clear that for some time past Soviet influence has been at work in the economic field; and usually, in the Soviet pattern, economic agreements lead to polit- ical understandings. if not to polit- ical domination. ,, Until five years ago moie than "3 half of Iceland's exports went to the - United States and Britain and most

NEED FOR UNDERSTANDING

The Irnnsttlfln from the nld ways to the new is no easier for the Indian than for anyone else. officials of the federal Indian rif- fairs branch told a reporter But on the other hand its no harder for an Indian to change his ways than for any others - what the transition needs most is time.

The Indian could also use more understanding on the part of his fellow Canadians.
