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

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.
Lovingly,
Helen ”
