I'm going on a hunting trip t0 the prairies. I'll just get dressed when I've a mind to.\" Wanting to help a young student financially, but being averse to a straight hand-out, Al encouraged: thje boy to go ahead with a wood-working project, for which he eventually paid an appreciable sum. \"The money wasn't for the furniture, mind you\" he once said, \"but for working at it\".

Several hours, two pots of coffee and Mrs. Knowles cookies later, Al went back to take his wife home, found the problem still unsolved. \"I thought I was setting a smart five-minutes work for some ordinary guy\" he said.

Mrs. Hodgson spoke on' the \"Tradition of [Thanksgiving.\" The tradition of Thanksgiving said Mrs. Hodgson is as old as mankind. To the early Israelites it was known as the Feast of ingathering, when entire families would go .on holy pilgramages taking with them the first fruits of the Harvest^ to offer as thanksgiving to th e \"Great Giver of Good*' who caused their flocks to increase arid their vines to bear. It was in 1621 .when the Pilgrim Fathers \"celebrated their first thanksgiving.;��In gratitude for a bounteous harvest after a year of extreme hardship. Gov. Bradford seni four riien out to,bring in game for the celebration. They, returned laden with wild tur- ; keys. ' These were rcasted: and served with' the fruits of the har-. vest, and cakes and pies, thus' began thanksgiving day as we . know it, with feasting arid family reunions. It was not until almost 200 years later during the administration of Abraham Lincoln,,- that the day was proclaimed a national holiday. In Canada i the day was not established until y 1872. The speaker concluded by reading excerpts from \"Thanks-; giving Memories\" by Edwin ; C.Hill.'. These revived past memories.

This was a very important meeting and this writer, is trying to figure out why the managers of every team did not make a maximum effort to attend. The three teams that were not present are , in my opinion, the worst offenders when it comes to registering squawks about the way the league is being operated.. If the managers and members of : these teams are as interested in the league as they let on I would think that out of their 16 men aggregations they could at ,least find :two or three, to attend a meeting.. These teams, Firemen Pender harbour and Port Mellon, are the ones that.have been, harping all season about certain operations of the league. A meeting such as this is the place t0 clear these things up but you cannot do it if you are not there. Basketball should be rollling soon with all the teams < except Pender .ready to go. Soccer started last Sunday with a fair turnout, and an- .other practice and meeting will be held at the high-school field at 1 p.m.. Sunday. Anyone interested please attend.
