Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 9,863 FOR SEPTEMBER SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1946 ' A Real Thanksgiving On Monday Canadians will again celebrate Thanksgiving Day. This year as never before the day should evoke thank- fulness to Almighty God for his many gifts to His children. We have been bountifully blessed during the year and, quite apart from the spirit of the holiday, time should be found to give thanks for what we have received. At Thanksgiving time last year hostilities had come to an end. However, in many homes there was the vacant place of those who died in the service of their country, In others sons, daughters and husbands had still not returned, This year the sorrow of loss has been softened to some degree . at least, while all but a few of those whe wore the King's uniform are back in the family circle. Canada has this year been blessed with bountiful har- vests. The products of the field and garden were never more abundant, How much more fortunate we are than the peoples of the countries in which the war was fought. We have an abundance of food and enough to clothe us while thousands across the seas areliving a hand-to-mouth existence, and are subject to the ravages of disease. We have been spared the ravages of war, Therefore, the time is meet when we should re-dedicate ourselves to the ser- vice of God and our fellowmen and to the betterment of the ' community in which we live. It's Your Campaign The Oshawa Win-the-War and Community Fund made history during the war years combining as it did the appeals for money of a number of very worthwhile charitable, patriotic and community organizations. On each occasion the objective was surpassed which reflected credit not only upon the generosity of residents of the city at large but also upon the organizing -ability of those who directed the appeals. . With the return of peace, the idea of a united appeal is being continued through the medium of the Oshawa Com- munity Chest Fund campaign of which J. Cepdnderson, K.C,, is the general chairman, The campaign will be carried on between October 21 and 26 with an objective of $55,000. This year 16 organizations will share in the proceeds. The desirability of holding such a campaign should need no explanation, It means simply that instead of each or- ganization making a separate appeal--all are being held at the same time, This results in added convenience for all. It simplifies the canvass and is less troublesome for those being approached for contributions. There should be no difficulty in reaching or even passing the objective. All the organizations which will share in it . are well known and the work they do needs no elaborate eulogy. All are most deserving of the financial assistance which will enable them to continue the excellent work they have been doing. It will not necessitate large contributions from everyone to secure $65,000. Donations no matter how small will be gladly accepted but it should be remembered that slightly over $2.00 for every man, woman and child in the city will be required. Citizens of Qshawa demonstrated their desire to stand behind the Community Fund during the war. There is no reason to believe that they will do otherwise with a new era lying just ahead. Scout Apple Day Oshawa Boy Scouts and Wolf Cubs are today holding their annual apple day to raise funds for the furtherance of Scout work in the community. This is one day in the year when every resident of the city and surrounding areas should dig down deep as there is no endeavor that can claim to have done so much for the youth of the city or is so deserving of support. Inthe first place those who buy. apples will be getting full value and more for what they contribute, The Local Boy Scout Association has over a period of years had the happy faculty of securing high class fruit no matter what the crop. Again, this is a very worthy cause and contributions should not be confined to a nickel or a dime. While these will be appreciated the organization and its work is deserving of much greater generosity. The Scout Movement provides a medium for the devel- opment of those traits of character which are the very found- ation of the welfare of the community. Its members during their formative years learn discipline, courtesy and self sac- rifice in addition to those crafts from which the hobbies of later life stem. Many. a boy who might otherwise have followed the downward path has found the way to respect- ability and success. ' Ce WR Count) dd el ene WY we Readers' Views Would Like To See School Board Do Some Fighting to Match Planning | Editor Dally Times-Ciazette, Dear Sir: On reading Article No. 1 would appear at first sight that the present Board of Education have failed miserably to do thelr duty as laid down in the Act, However it must be admitted that the Board did make a very exhaustive survey of the school housing situation and made the only possible recom- mendation that could have been submitted, to adequately meet the condition. They did not however follow up thelr findings with suit~ able action, If the Board does not have the authority to approw priate funds from the City Treas- to meet and cover the results of their findings, and cannot con- vince the City Council of the neces- sity of such appropriations then they should resign in a body, By not doing so they have shown a weakness which can only be con- doned in the light of their deter- mination to stand by the ship, If the original plans for Rox- borough School were too ultra- modern, as some suggested, could not the plans have been modified and resubmitted for consideration? Only a very keen sense of respon- sibility of citizenship can induce any self respecting individual in these times to stand for and ac~ cept public office, This it must be admitted is a very sorry state of affairs, The majority of our Board are successful business men who know how to spend a dollar and are also imbued with good sound common sense and above all have vision, They have accepted their responsi- bilities knowing full well that there is mo glory, little honour, and cer- tainly no thanks coming their way when the task they have undertak- en is completed, and I'm sure they seek none, All of this neverthe- less does not relieve them of an ac~ counting of their stewardship, They have been weighed in the balance of public opinion and it would secm as though they have been wanting, Maybe it is beneath their dignity to go down and wrangle with our poor short-sighted council, but I feel sure that a good shin-dig with a few fireworks at the Council Chambers would have awakened the citizens of Oshawa to the fact that we at least have a lively School Board, Instead of such spirited action we see our poor kids tramp- ing out to, school in the wee sma' hours of the morning and another contingent trudging homewards af- ter sundown from our inadequate High School, There is another matter in which our Board have displayed a spine- lessness which is worthy of censure and that it the manner in which several good public school teachers have moved around from pillar to post by an Inspector who seems to have absolute jurisdiction in such matters, We have lost some excel~ lent teachers to other communities through this individual's arbitary and inconsiderate actions, I am not a school teacher but I know that the resentments that are being arsed in the minds of many of our teachers are not conducive to their giving of their best in the education of young Oshaws, Fur- thermore I have very good reason to believe that this condition 1s known to our Board and that they are doing nothing about the mat The Board have done some mighty good planning, a lot of mighty heavy talking; if they will now display a mite of fighting spirit and go down into the house of those that sit in council over us, and wrestle with ther, I'm sure they will win the admiration now, and the votes later on, of a thank- ful community, That, Sir, would be real community service, : "HOPEFUL."
