Oil GIVING THANKS
ft+Li In a few days the children's children of the Pilgrim
Fathers will sit down to a Thanksgiving meal. But this time
there will be more on the plate than six g kernels of command hopefully more than eggs scrambled by the faculty to start
the day. We shall enjoy the plentiful harvest of a goodly land,
a land in which "every man is a king". At least we have given
that old slogan this much reality: that a majority of the people
now suffer the maladies a£ once reserved for kings: the diseases
induced by over-eating.
□cm
live in peril of our souls, constantly tempted to
believe that we des rve Clod's favor. After all, "we are the
people!11 And while we feast in prosperity and peace, soldiers
and civilians will be dying in the swamps of Viet-Nam. More than
food
that, while our/stockpiles rot and we pay farmers to withdraw
land from production, two-thirds of the world's peoples will
live out their short years in deprivation and die without once
going to bed with a full stomach.
Dialogist; Now wait a minute I You sound as though that were
my fault. We're here for joy and thanksgiving, and. you start
out by proclaiming gloom. cell my gloom, which is beginning to
be real, is not what you think: I'm gloomy becau e I'm going
to have to live through another Jeremiad. car can we be held
resoonsible for something we can't do anything about? If you
want us to join the stud.ents at Loyola in collecting baskets and
boxes for Tiet Ham, then say so. But why should we be gloomy
because our forefathers had sense enough to take ship for
America?.'
