THANKSGIVING WEEK

The ’l‘hauksgiving festival. an institution of American origin- and dating back to Pilgrim days, brought to our provinces a touch of winter with snow flurries be- ing the order of the day.

To the Pilgrims a bountiful harvest was really cause for thanksgiving, there were no stor- es to supply food and England was far over the water. A crop failure could mean starvation and even death for the pioneers and so with their barns and stor- ages full the Pilgrims had real cause for rejoicing.

However, times have changed and a bountiful harvest may now mean increased sunpluses and in turn mean headaches for both farmer and Government. Never- theless no real farmer ever fail- ed to take satisfaction in a good crop regardless of economic con- sequences. Conversely no farmer ever planted a crop hoping that it was going to be a poor one even though the price might be better.
