With Due Thanksgiving

it is will in remember thll Thanksgiving. in its origin. was not a Ilolldav but a holy day. It centred about the. chlllcll rather than the football stadium. and the fruits of the garden and field \wre used. to a greater extent than they are now. In t’lL‘Cl‘l'le the sanctuaries of worship. Born of American experi- ence in the New England states. it was adopted In Canada as a fitting celebration in a prednminantly agri- cultural socinty for the bringing in of the harvest. But there were other events prompting its observance.

All Canada gave thanks together for the first time on March 1. 1872. the occasion being the restoration to good health of the Prince of Wales. In 1R7? It gave thanks again on the 6th at November, and from then on Thanksgiving Day has been observed by proclamation every year.

For a long time the Canadian Thanksgiving was proclaimed to coincide with the American Day. but gradually Cansdlans began to feel that this was too late in the year and too near to Christmas for proper celebration. Consequently we decided to he thankful earlier—i1 October—usually on a Thursday. This. however. proved disruptive to industry and the day was moved to a Monday. where it would be less trouble and. incidentally. give a nice week-end to employers.

After the First World War. Canadians officially celebrated Thanksgiving on the Monday of the week of Armistice Day. November 11. In 1935. we went back to I Thursday Thanksgiving for a while. in response to appeals from those who felt that the spiritual side of the celebration was being neglected. and the week-end angle llnduly ex- ploited. Subsequently. however. the Monday observance was teswred,

Though our economy has now be- come more widely diversified. de- pendence on the fruits of the soil is “in I very good reason for keeping the true meaning of Thanksgiving to the fore. This Is not inconsistent With healthful enjoyment: it deep- ens it. rather. if humility and grati- tude. are exercised in taking stock of the manifold blessings we enjoy.

Missing Tory Troops

Since the Conservative Party is the only one in the House of Com- mons that could conceivably take of- fice in the event of a Liberal defeat. it is odd that no one has yet sighted all the 96 Conservative members on any division since Parliament met last May. Thirty of them were misa- Ing on Mr. Diefenbaker's motion for the production of the agreement on nuclear weapons last week, leaving the Government to get by with I margin of only 14 votes. Nor was this theonly example of their lack of warm response to standing up and being counted.

A'oommentator with a yen for research has gone into the record in this regard—not because the Con- servfilval have any monopoly on em. but because they rep mm the major Opposition front. Her» i. his report. and we think our more will be interested in studying its implications:

posed the production of ’ relating to Canada s nuclear commit- ments. He rallied 64 supporters. nine being paired.

On June 17, Mr. Speaker ruled against immediate debate on mat. ters concerning the preparation of the budgcl. He held this decision not lable. Mr. Douglas on. Univ 59 Con- servatn‘rs votori. night being pair- mi.

There were two votes on June 26. Mr. Bait-er attempted to debate. as ll matter of urgent importance. the remarks of Premier Lesage on the municipal loans legislation. When Mr. Speaker ruled as on June 17 the Conservatives appealed. This brought the closest vote of the ses- sion. Mr. Speaker being upheld by a majority of one. But only 71 Cor.- servatives votcd. seven being pair- ed. On the main budget motion the same day. 73 Conservatives answer- ed the rail. There were nine pairs.

From this point on attendance figures plunged. Mr. T"

dun Ys' FEMS/0N 0754 L5 1

on July 2 moved an amendment to I supply motion accusing the Gov- ernment of rreating confusion and chaos through its economic policies. The Conservatives marshalled 61 vote nine members being paired.

On July 23 an Opposition at- templ to strike down the excise tax amendment. which repealed the exemption of building materials from sales tax was blocked bv an- other Speaker’s ruling. This was a matter on which the Conservatives had expressed strong opinions. But only 54 voted. two being paired. It was almost the same story on July 30 when there was a mot ion to exempt boxes for farm trucks.

Mr. Starr on August 2 moved an amendment to continue the Na- tional Productive Council created by the Conservatives. But. he rallied only 4R Conservative votes. There were seven pairs.

Details of subsequent votes are not given in this record. but the story is pretty much the same. It goes it long way to account for the Government being able to maintain its uncertain equilibrium.

Co-op Acilvmes

Next week is Co-Op Week. when members of co-operative unions in all parts of Canada will review past. achievements and look ahead to the future. They will pause. first. to salute the Rochdale pioneers who started the first co—operativa move- ment in England in 1844, and also those who built. from s small begin- ning in 1861. the first ch move- ment in this country.

The number of people involved today In Canada's co-operative movement can only be estimated. Membership In credit unlons totals about 2.500.000 and in other kinds of co-opa about 1.600.000. Last ye‘lr marketing comperatives in Canada handled over $925 million worth of agricultural produce of all kinds: marketing and purchasing co-operap tives. combined. almost $1.5 billion of farm products and supplies. Fishermen's cn—operatlves marketed about $18 million worth of fish.

These are impressive figure and It is worth noting that the movement is of educational value as well. Like democracy. it: needs the full understanding of its mem- bers to fulfill its purposes. To those engaged in it we extend our best wishes at this time. trusting that their hopes for further progress and development will be fully realized.
