The holiday season is here again by Rosemary Allen The holiday season is here once again, and fo r exploita tive reasons, shopping cen- • ters across the land are decked with boughs and boughs of holly and anything else that might catch your eye. Yes. Christmas is just around the com er, and so is a shove and a push as you m e rrily shopfor your goodies. Yes, that happy, m erry sea son is here. But fo r some, across the street from you o r perhaps on the other side of town, it is just another cold ami windy- season. A season when the hawk (wind) is hard to get away from and food is hard to get to. Some of us realized the need of the hungry during this season and attempted to help by giving canned food, etc. to food agencies which then distributed it to the poor in the way of Christmas boxes. But then came Community Care and M rs. Peoples, who found the gesture of d eliver ing a box to a blank face to be helpful, but somehow not complete. The idea of simply delivering that box on the porch with no other human emotional contact seemed to add an ingredient of shame to being hungry. I guess it all goes back to that age old principal, ‘ ‘.Man does not live by bread alone” . F o r that reason and the simple rea son that 50 turkeys would complete 50 boxes to serve 50 fam ilies, while 50 cooked oirxeys would complete thou sands of plates to serve thou sands of people. Community Care converted to the ide> of serving hot meals. Recently, on November 21, to be exact, 1 ventured to Community C a re head quarters, 2022 N .E . Alberta, to find out “ what it is " , "W hat it w as", was busy, busy, busy. Standing in the hallway to the kitchen I com pared the Community Care workers to a body of ants, all moving in different d ire c- M rs , Clara People, some pumpkin pies that tio.ns, tu t working towards the same goal. Today, the goal was preparing a Thanksgiving dinner. And what a dinner, turkey and cornbread dres sings, ham, and roast beef, vegetables, pumpkin pies, yams, je llo , etc. And In the m idst of a ll this organized bustle you find M rs . Peoples, not back giving orders, but right in ther truckin’ (work ing) along with everyone else. So, 1 decided to come back the next day, which was Wed nesday the day before Thanks giving, and see the results of th e ir hard work. Actually, I must admit. I dki have it in mind to eat the results of th e ir hard w ork. However, as 1 sat there that day and watched as people one by one filte re d into the office and sat down to a delicious, hot. healthy meal. and as I ORPHEUM THEATRE AND 104th ST. DRIVE-IN THEATRE watched one black elderly brother walk slowly to the kitchen entrance and say. " I ,ust have to say. it was one of the very best dinners I have ever ate,” 1 knew that I could go home to a hot delicious meal any night. And although dinner was offered to me several times by a Community Care w orker, I refused, because 1 knew that these people were for real and th e ir hunger was real arxl they were what all of Com munity C are's hard work was a ll about. So 1 silently watered and 1 took it all In and came up with some of the same feelings that M rs. Peoples expressed to me, " I hope that everyone through out the city and state w ill not forget that there are people less fortunate than we are fo r this hoiday season, and that they w ill contribute to a neighbor o r agency of th e ir choice. And 1 know that after all our efforts, hunger w ill s till be looking at someone, tu t thank God it w ill not be on such a large scale.

THE r FAMILY# LAWYER. Once upon a time a man in Chicago wrote a “ » ill” contain ing a series of magical bequests. T o children everywhere, he left “ the long long days to be merry in. in a thousand ways, and the Night and the Moor, and the M ilky Wav to wonder at.” To lovers, he left flowers and stars and music, to he used in describing their feelings for each other To parents, he left “ in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and all quaint pet names " T o the elderly, he left "M e m ory. to the end that they may live the old days over again freely and fully." He left them also "the knowledge of what a rare, rare world it is." O f course this document, com posed by one Williston Fish in the year 1898, would never stand up in court as a legal will. Still, it is a sinking reminder of the special opportunity given to each of us by our right to make a will the opportunity Io leave be hind, as we depart this life, a legacy of love F ew of us are as imaginative as Williston Fish. Yet most wills, in one way or anolher. do indeed reflect the deepest and most tender of emotions Between the lines, behind the formalities, may be found gratitude to a devoted spouse, forgiveness for a wayward child, concern about an ailing relative, ardor for a worthy cause And esen in the most properly executed, legally correct will, people are constantly finding fresh ways to express plain and simple affection. A few months ago the follow ing will, only 18 words long, was admitted to probate in a New York courtroom: "Dearest George. All I have is what you gave me. So everything I have is yours.
