Thanksgiving

W: knew something of harvest festival: long before the New England institution of Thanksgiving day: “All is safely gathered in, ’ere the winter storms begin.” Those harvest festivals of the old land were mostly Sunday services. The New England observance upon which our season is modelled was on the last Thursday of November, in the year i621. It was in 1620 the Jlayflmurr had landed the Pil- grim Fathers to found the Plymouth colony, named in honor of the last British port touch- ed in their sailing from tl-e old homeland. The winter that followed their landing at Plymouth Itock had lxscn so filled with hardship, priva- tnm and [mil they often despziired of survival. 'l'licy had been saved from starvation, more than once, through the kindness of friendly natives, and at best they had short commons and an uneasy life. Yet, and notwithstand- ing. they held that religious service of thanks- giving in their log church, and then went home to make a feast of what could be scraped to- gether from scanty stores.

It has always been that way, as could be shown bv itiany examples from the lives 0f our own Island pioneer settlers. "Out of the suf- fcring comes the serious mind; qut of the sal- vation, the grateful heart; out of the endur- ance, the fortitude: out of the deliverance, the faith."

Uni‘ Canadian Thanksgiving Day, which fall: on .\londa_v, (Jctober 8, is a tiational holi- day intended, as of old, to be a public celebra- tion of divine goodness. This year the day is fraught with a double significance; it nOt only marks the end of the harvest season as the crowning fitllriess of the ytear, but also the end of six years of warfare and the beginning— let u: hope——of a new era of peace and pro- gress for mankind.

A: yet there is little evidence of the new er: in war-ravaged l:nd:. Hunger and want face many millions of. people as these lines are being written; the coming winter, so far as hardships are concerned, Will he among the bitterest in human memory. \\'e in this favor- ed land can only imagine such conditions; but it ill behooves us to forget them.

For us, once again, the

____________ The First Punjab Priest

he following excerpt is taken from a let- ter by Sister M. Alma Julia,‘ pharmacist at Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, India, des- cribing the ordination of the first native priest in the Punjab. ‘ .ast Sunday (April i5, i945) we had an ordination here in Rawalpindi. For the first tinie in the history of the world a boy from this part was ordinated a Roman Catholic priest. He is the first native priest from this Prefecture of Kafirstan and Kaslimire which consists of about 50 million people, mostly Moslems, This is the sort of territory where you cannot expect to see mtich progress for the first hundred years-but after that . There are only a few thousand Christians i this whole Prefecture, with perhaps a rloz priests scattered here and there. from Lahore (the nearest Diocese) came to perform the ceremony. The candidate had made his studies in the Papal Seminary of _K_ancy Ceylan. Most of the priests of the vic- inity, almost all liriglish and Dutch missionaries of the Mill llill Society, London, attended. The church was crowded with a mixed congrega- lion of English. Indians, Burmese and Chinese. Th! fflll/“Yillg d8)’ We attended the first I\lass celebrated by the newlv ordained priest. I kept thinkinz during m. lloly Sacrifice; ‘This i.- one of our own boys, one of these Indian boys, who probably minded his father's goats in the hills. And now he is a Priest’?

Fire Prevention Week For the first time Prevention Week will

in six long years, Fire he observed Oct. 7-13, under [mace-time instead of war-time condi- tions. During that period, the world has secn the use of fire as a major iveapon of war. It was the endeavour of both sides to reduce the other side's ability to wage war by the deg- truction by fire of his war plants and at the same time every effort was marle in the liome- land to prevent such destruction. In the end, the Allies by reason of vastly superior war materials, won out.

But have we. won the fight against the fire demon here at home? Recent holocausts have indicated that we have not. The destruction by fire of one of the Great Lakes passenger boats, the burning of a famous Muskoka summer re- sort, and the near annihilation oi liastern (‘auadian port of llalifax sho forcibly that as a nation we have not ed to be carcful with fire. The fact that-l was so small : loss of life in these confl:

Lfttenetitrnt-loitrnal, Quebec, has evident- ly been examining the reports of farm produc- tion in Canada and is very pleased to find that fhe harvest, despite a wet spring incértgiin parts of the country, is not at all bad. Its edifiorial this last week is almost a song of praise: “Latest estimates bring to 325 million bushels the coun- try's wheat harvest; crops in the three West- ern Provinces have decreased by a third on what they were last season, and cannot be com- Dated with the three great harvest: of wartime. Just the same, the wheat produced passe: enor- mously the needs of the domestic consumer, to such an extent that millions of bushels can be sent each month to the less privileged countries ravaged by war. Canada is continuing her food- stuffs and provisions to the populations who are haunted by the spectre of famine. Cereals have grown in abundance; barley, rye and Dag; have been but mildly affected by the summer drought and the wet spring. Crops per acre have been sensibly increased, which amply compen- sates for the reduction of areas to be peeded. Harvest work is proceeding in an ideal temper- ature in all producing districts and the crops e big with

The Germans instituted ﬂfly new medals and twenty-nine dis- tinctive badges for servive during this war. We were more modest. and our decorations will therefore be more valued when memories of war begin to fade. Our 11st has now been nlmost completed by the addition o! medals for Courage and for Service In the Catise of Free dom. Thcy are Intended for for- eigners who have served the Allied cause. The medals will go mainly to clvlllam, and the ﬁrst award of the Medal for Service to Mr. Winthrop Aldrich broadly indicates one type of qualification for the award. Mr. Aldrich fought the Brltlm cause ln the United Stntes before Pearl Harbor at n time when his countrymen hnd by no means emerged from the fog of neutrality.
