: Member of X 'The Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assoddtion © THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thursday, October 11, 1958 Notes and Comments Thanksgiving A Chinese friend reminds us that the festivabof Autumn Moon is atthand. It sounds:so muchimoresintriguing than:our plain word Thanksgiving. He has gone to buy moon cakes. We will bake. puinpkin pies and pile' fruit and vegetables around church altars, *We will close cottages and attend morning services, A Habit will make us do these things, We will enjoy most of them, "We*will not think imach about them while we (go through the actions, If we do not the purpose of .the festival.is lost. 'Thanksgiving is a festival, a happy time; a time of joy for harvest safely brought in, food that will keep ug dlive through the winter. It is hard for us to realize this, we have lived so long out of a 'can or at the goodwill of afreezer, It is a long way from the farm ta the. breakfast table now, 80 long that even some farmers 'forget that everything is not processed. Oranges do have to grow on trees and when frost des- "troys those trees we'get poor oranges for a year or more. Only rarely do such things "happen. Most of 'the' time"the food is much the same, except that it is a little Sport Degraded -- fo .ithe: Iocation of a Provincial-Fol-] Professional sport has gone far to de- stroy much that was of value in athletics. Ideally, the sportmanship code calls for honorable victory, respect for worthy op- ponénts, no personal' or team advantage; "no disadvantage to the-opponents through «dishenourable:and -unfair.means. This. is the very essence of any worthwhile athletic program: 'in. or out.ofrschool. But what has professionalism done to it? The an- swer 'is simple. _ Professional sport has stressed the winning -at:any cost. So thoroughly did it violate the code that new rules:and regulations had to be set up:in sorder'to keep thesgames alive. 'Commis- ~ sioners -had to be' appointedsand given wide powers to penalize and punish; police escorts had to be provided for referees and "umpires. . Not' only has professionalism .made a .mockery. of the sportsman's code, it has " ddone .much .to corrupt our young people who. take part in athletics. They have tried to emulate on the field many of the «sional sport. Thus the other day, a team that had .been beaten by another =high school team started in to get certain play- ers. Every time the ball was snapped they .managed .to get in one or two blows or stomach kicks which they knew.theumpire had little chance of spotting. They de- fended their actions afterwards. by, stat- ing that you'have to play dirty and rough 'or you never get anywhere. Not.only has 'professionalism introduced dirty-play: but + smart practices they have seen'intprofes- / higher in price, insidiously-so month b ~umonth., But if the crops were to fail;:if "the machinery werétostop who could:live? We may forget in time how to bake aloaf 1 breads 'Many women. do not-know how today. What is the message for a world that exists in this fashion? "The message of Thanksgiving is, we'think to be:genuinely thankful. "We cannot*do:much.about. the 'wholesale processing: of:life. 'We can be thankful we have thefood in this part of - > thesworld to sustainilife "We ean-be-thank- ful and show it by*sharing -- a parcel to CARE now and thentai gift to a friend in need.

It re- leases the mind from warping nervous tensions and anxieties and gives it a new Siving Heard for undertaking new activi- es. it has tended to place emphasis upon.name- making and money-miking in sport. Sport should provide the opportunityifor boys on their own ta think fast, be inde- pendent and to make decisions as the game develops. 'So obsessdd are we by the pro- fessional aspects thas even in high school rugby the coach sends in plays and'thereby i takes: the game outi bf theithands..of .the players. The Big 'Four Rugby Union and its western affiliates have made a travesty. of the game in the hanliling of the coaches 'and assistant coachesi whose uncertain te- nure depends upon iwinning.

When these causes are worthy we try to comply as far as humanly possible, but a large percentage goes straight to 'the faithful waste paper basket, comments the Editor of Wingham Advance-Times.

As a matter of fact we never got a government grant or subsidy in our entire. career and we aren't asking for one. Frankly we get a little tired of this word "capitalist" being used to indicate something or someone dirty. There are plenty of fine upstanding capitalists in this country, who in- cidently, provide all the employment that exists, And in case our friend is in any doubt there is no more ttear-cut and significant capitalist than the Can- adian farmer.

We say "thank you" to all who helped in any way to make these suppers so successful, and a special share to all who came and partook of the suppers. Prospect did not have a supper, as they are very cramped for space. But their offerings at their anniversary service were the highest yet, and amounted -to $371.00. There has. been much sickness in the area, with 'the result that our congregations have fallen off. We hope that you will soon be in better health Helen Holtby, and our love and prayers go out to you Ernie Holtby. We are glad that Murray is up and a¥ound again. May be, this Sunday will be the last of our early morning services. We are con- sidering having a Sunday School Rally on Sunday, October 19th, and if we do, then the service will be at 11,16 a.m. Manchester has decided to do so, and have invited Dr. Kenneth Braham to give the address. Maybe; the children could form a choir. There will be a special printed order of service. In: vitation cards.are being sent out to dll the children, and we. give the parents a very cotdial invitation to come. Both congregations are invited to the Island for the evening service, Scugog Church Will hold their 2nd Anniversary on Sunday, October 19th, when Rev. M. C. Fisher, the United Hinvolved. Secretary of Presbytery, will preach morning and evening. The Lyric Male Choir of Toronto will sing the fol- lowing numbers at the evening service, "Bless the Lord O My Soul," "Crea- tions Hymn", "All in the April Even" "Steal Away", "Can't yo heah me moaning Lord", "Bless this house". Provision is being made for overflow congregations. The Stewards are sending out a letter with anniversary envelopes to all our families on the Island. On 'Sunday last, our three churches celebrated the Lords Supper. We had a very good congregation. at the Is- land. May be, the time will come, when on Communion Sundays, the whole Igland will come together as one Church, and partake of the emblems of His love. Elders on the Island attend these ser- vices. Example goes a long way in propagating the Christian Gospel, and haying: assumed an office, it is only right that we fulfill the obligations Here is hoping that all the twelve. Elders will atteénd our next celebration of the Lord's Supper. On 'Wednesday Scugog 'Grace" W. A. will meet in the church at 2 p.m. and Prospect W.A. will meet on Thirs- day evening at 8 p.m. at the home of Mra. John Bray of Brooklin. The Young People will meet this Wednesday evening on the Island. We will give particulars as this will be Church Minister at Newcastle, and the the first meeting of the season.
