Several centres have taken the matter out of the hands of the Government to the point where they have attempted to provide some type of housing, even of a temporary nature, for married veterans, who had been unable to obtain housing of their own. Such was the case when a meeting was held recently between the mayors of Kitchener and Galt, the reeve of Hespeler, and other memâ€" bers of the Board of the House of Refuge of Waterloo County, and the Waterloo County Agricultural Representative, Dr. A. L. MacNabb, Principal of the Ontario Veterinary College, and Prof. H. G. Bell, repreâ€" senting the Ontario Agricultural College. These representatives, anxious that veterans attending local educational institutes, have proper acâ€" commodations for their wives and families, have now been assured that army huts will be available for the use of veterans attending the Ontario Veterinary College and the Ontario Agricultural College. municipalitiee and will be leased to war veterans at a rate comâ€" mensurate with the financial remumeration which the veterans are receiving. â€" s The huts will accommodate about 25 or 30 families in threeâ€"room suites. They wil} be assigned on the basis of a veteran‘s years of service and the urgency of each case. â€" â€" It is probable that some of these huts will have to be reconditioned, and this is to be proceeded with at once so they may be available as early as possible. o Dr. MacNabb expressed the sincere appreciation of the Guelph Colleges to the municipalities of Kitchener, Waterloo and Galt for their coâ€"operation in this emergency. While it is felt that the circumâ€" stahces are extraordinary, it is considered that any consideration that the country can give to these men who have given years of service in the armed forces, merits consideration. Seed for Export Not Plentiful With generally reduced producâ€" tion of the 1947 principal field crops, it is not expected that the xeu:nmies of registered and certiâ€" seed available for export will be in excess of those exported from the 1946 crop, the Dominion Deâ€" partment of Agriculture has anâ€" nounced. Export permit applicaâ€" tions already received for this class of seed, indicate a desire to export quantities far in excess of the surâ€" plus likely to be available. Though a preliminary export surplus of common spring wheat has been established to permit some trading, the final quantity which will be approved for export is not likely to exceed that of last year, about 900,000 bushels. It is not yet possible to establish even a preliminary figure for the exâ€" port of oats, barley, and flax seed, the Department said. It is essential that farmers in Canada be given every opportunity to obtain seed for their 1948 plantings, and as there are local h THE BRAN PRINTING & PUBLISHING CO, \ ~ Quwners and Publishers Puyable in Advance .

This would obviate the possible need for reâ€" distribution throughout Canada at higher handling costs, of seed which has been assembled on the assumption that export permits would be granted. The Department points out that the object of the export &ermit system is to assure that sufficient seed is retained in Canada for domestic use.

Times have changed, it is true, in all these years but we rejoice that in this "hustleâ€"bustle" age one day is set aside to give due and thankful consideration to our Almighty God. We would do well to teach our children and young folks that wonâ€" derful children‘s hymn of Tharfksâ€" giving, namely: "Father we thank Thee for the night And for the pleasant morning light, For rest and food and loving care, And all that makes the world so Surely if we would start to imâ€" plant such grateful thoughts in the minds of our children at an early age and then strive to help them to live up to them we would be workâ€" ing for and nearing more closeli & civilization of more thankful huâ€" man beings at peace with one anâ€" other. We can truthfully say we have every reason in this 1947 to be truly thankful. In the spring we grumbled because of the unfavorâ€" able spring weather and some even predicted that we in Canada would experience a famine this year. But narvest came and although we have not the quantity or quality that we hoped for the crops turned out better than we expected and for that much we should be most grateful. At least, we have a m deal more than so many hun of thousands of people in Euroâ€" Help us to do the things we should, Helgeus to do the things We SNOU!

It is true this time of the year more or less marks the end of a season. The beautiful colored leaves are falling in hill and dale and thef' murmur their message of farewell as they rustle with the wind or tap lightly when they scurâ€" ry against windowâ€"panes or fall gently on the rooftops. Children revel in the autumn woods and those who are older grown often do not a;rrecjnte these things half enough. Although the dying leaves mark the change of a season to some extent they should challenge some extent they should challenge us to turn from t{\e old with th;:.g- ful hearts and with expectant faces resolve to do better in the new days to follow. When we take time off to grumble we would do well to remember there is always someboâ€" dy worse off for there is not one of But if Thanksgiving Day as an annual holiday has only been set aside during the last century we would do well to consider from where the idea originated. Searchâ€" ing throl.fih history‘s annals we find that this is one custom which has really been adopted from the very early settlers of New England. us but has a reason or reasons to be truly thankful this Thanksgivâ€" Very shortly after the Pilgrim Fathers had arrived in America from England they set apart a weekâ€"day for the attendance of reâ€" ligious services of Thanksgiving. By some it is said that this celeâ€" bration was held when their first crop had been garnered in and this sounds very logical for we know that the New Englanders were a grateful sort of people and it would be only natural that they would wish in a public way to acknowâ€" ledge their thanks to Almighty, God for their bounteous harvest in Yes, it is true Canada‘s Thanksâ€" giving Days too have long been asâ€" a new land. According to legend they left their tasks whatever they might be to attend this divine serâ€" vice and often carried with them their weapons or implements or whatever they had been using. In 1864 President Abraham Linâ€" coln ag‘poimed the fourth Thursâ€" day in November for one of Nationâ€" al Thanksgiving and this was folâ€" lowed annually in the United States until 1929 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt advanced the date to the third Thursday of Noâ€" vember. In Canada the first official Thanksgiving Day was November 6th, 1879, but previous to that United Empire Loyalists who had settled around Halifax a century before decided to give thanks for the ceding of Canada to Great Briâ€" tain. However this first official day in 1879 was set aside by a proclaâ€" mation issued bt{ the {hrquu of Lorne, who was then the Governorâ€" General of Canada. The Marquis of Lorne urged that Canadians should attend church and give special thanks for biessings bestowed. One writer tells of a previous Thanksâ€" giving Day being held on March ist, 1872, to offer up thanks for the We also read in Biblical history that this custom was recorded much farther back for the ancient Roman Church also observed a speâ€" cial day of Thanksgiving. The earâ€" ly Hebrews practised in their feasts of Pentecost a :fichl Thanksgivâ€" ing service. This latter service took the form of a Jewish feast held at the befinn'm; of the Jewish New Year. It also was understood to be for the purpose of offering up thanks for the safely "gathering in of the autumn harvest. eral idea of Thanks;iving was not contained therein. For some time the Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated to coincide with the American holiday but eventually Canadians felt it would be better held earlier in the year and not as close to the annual Christmas fesâ€" tivities. It was then decided that we should be thankful earlier in the year but the holiday was still proclaimed on a Thursday and this was most unsatisfactory to industry and often meant those who were away from home were not able to return and unite with their loved cnes in 2iving thanks. From the year 1914â€"1918 the idea of a Naâ€" tional Thanksgiving Day had a truâ€" ly religious aspect and at the conâ€" clusion of the war it became assoâ€" ciated with Armistice Day celebraâ€" tions on November l1th. However in 1941 a wellâ€"known veterans‘ asâ€" sociation requested that November 11th be set aside by statute to be known as Remembrance Day in memory of our glorious dead and accordingly m:is‘flving Day was changed to a Monday in October. For more than a century a day of Thanksgiving had been proclaimed on special occasions but it was now an annual event., restoration of %Iooa health to the then Prince of Wales, but the genâ€" RONICLE sociated with brimming elevators and granaries and on every sside material evidence of wealth and just reason for very special fiay- ers of thanks. From the Pacific to the Atlantic we should also thankâ€" fully commemorate the bravery of all our brothers who made it posâ€" sible that we mifiht live in peace for the last couple of years. But may we in this respect, not only be thankful for past victories but also may we hope and pray for a united effort to insure that all peoples of the world may live in true peace. We Canadians are thankful in 1947. ‘‘This proced;:rehmmd- -imal:. yet not children are imâ€" munized m-' Dr. Wilson concluded. "Every year children die that children might live.
