Some are exciting while others tear at us and our feelings. Thanksgiving this year was a little different in our family as some of the familiar faces weren't with us due to jobs taking them out of state or perhaps they were with other family members elsewhere. Although this was sort of sad, there were several new family members present due to the births of new little ones. What fun that was! Each year, we all go out to dads garage after the meal to join in a game of bingo together. This year, some of us adults chose to remain in the house and just visit - this was an interesting change. (We did, however, sneak out long enough to win a prize or two.) The weather was absolutely wonderful for me - but it was probably a big change from the great skiing weather, that many would have liked to have had happen.

For The Days of Chivalry Chivalry, originally derived from the French word, Chevalier, signifies merely cavalry, or a body of soldiers serving on horseback. "Forsooth, fair of us at full gallop on our maiden, and here we come, all sixty-seve- n full a and to steeds, sliding skidding trusty stop so's we can throw our coats in yon that you may safely walk across without tarnishing your dainty little feet", conjures up visions of one of the older more chivalrous gentlemen who reputedly did that very thing for his fair damsel (sans horses, of course). But that day has been relegated to a mere smudge mark, sadly enough, obscured somewhere in the pages of history. The word "Chivalry" seems to have dro$ed from our vocabulary, and is probably to remain lurking there forever - lost among the other now useless words such as politeness, common decency, good manners, courtesy, compassion and so on. Like moving day when you're deciding what to throw in the junk heap and leave behind forever, it's an endless list of discarded items soon to be replaced with newer more socially acceptable or even, substitutions. perhaps, more politically-corre- ct Although the current edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica devotes only three scanty paragraphs to "Chivalry, supplemented by ten brief references, Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832- ), historically acclaimed as possibly the world's foremost authority on the subject, wrote an article, originally for the Brittanica, which ran to ninety-fopages. Obviously, in today's world, none of what he had to say is deemed to be of much significance. It's not too difficult to understand the process by which chivalrous acts and the era of knighthood was spawned from the beginning of "a body of soldiers on horseback". 'Way back, from the time cavalry was first introduced into warfare,' horsemen were recognized as persons of superior importance to the mere foot soldier. And because of the expense and the art required in the training and managing these spirited horses, the horsemen had to be people of superior wealth. Originally, all participants shared a very unique characteristic, even their monarchs were governed by laws directed to enhance, with enthusiasm, the military spirit and a sense of personal honor along with it Knighthood became the goal passionately sought by every noble youth. Long periods of time - many years in fact - were devoted by them in periods of training as followers, helpers, and attendants to their idols the knights. Knighthood -the birth of chivalry - could only be conferred upon the most gallant the modest and the virtuous. Trainees had to strictly observe the conduct of their masters and practice their virtues of humility, modesty, and temperance until they could qualify. Makes you wonder how many of our current politicians would qualify for knighthood, doesn't it? Valor was also a big thing with knights, because in every age and country, valor is held in high esteem. History tells us that most countries - and their monarchs - fought for liberty and conquest, but the knights of the middle ages fought for God and their ladies. It seemed that the knights placed both entities at almost equal importance. Their duties were to maintain and defend personal freedom for others as well as for themselves, by not only valiantly and courageously engaging in each and every occasion as it arose, but they were pledged to be diligent and persistent and "unwearied" in seeking out these very situations. Like all good things, however, corruption from outside influences soon deto the point that stroyed it's purity of purpose, and it became contaminated into faded Only segments and history. it was abused, disrespected, scorned, doors for like opening for awhile, things of it's glorius past remained in procession them their coats, following with them on ladies, helping and treating (instead of having them trail you like some obedient pet), think You they aren't? them like the kind of superiors they actually are. do males you know who Try these superior facts on for size: How many the bosom demeanor (and have given birth?

I have been in this situation and have found myself tom between holding onto my own ideas or giving in. There have been many times when, by going along with the change, I have found myself being mildly surprised at the outcome (usually for the better). I have heard the comment often that a change is as good as a rest. Guess this depends on just how "tired" of something you really are. A job change can mean moving, change in workers, new home, new friends, money changes (sometimes lower), job status. It can also mean you are happier with your job and look forward to going to work. Many work places are allowing their employees to remain at home and computer their work into the office, enabling many to alleviate the need for baby sitters and they do more work with this stress situation relieved (along with the driving to the office). Changing of attitude can really make a big difference in dealing with life's little ups and downs. le ur Dec. 6 (Wednesday) Hoytsville Cemetery Budget Hearing Meeting, 8 p.m., Hoytsville Church.
