"All Soldiers Now At Harvest Work," Regina Leader-Post. September 8, 1943. Page 3.
----
Final group of soldiers from the west coast, detailed for farm duty in Saskatchewan, arrived in the province Wednesday and are now working on farms, according to W. W. Dawson, secretary of the Central Harvest Labor committee.
Sixty-two soldiers made up the last contingent of the 450 who have been distributed throughout the province to farmers who made application for soldier help.
Help is also arriving steadily from Ontario. There are now more than 1,300 farmers and farm workers from eastern Canada on Saskatchewan farms. An additional 1,000 harvest helpers from Ontario have been provided with special harvest excursion train fares in the east to make the trip west. Their arrival in Saskatchewan will almost meet the harvest help needs of the farmers in this province, said Mr. Dawson.
With regard to soldier help Mr. Dawson stressed that when a soldier was detailed for farm duty, the farmer should not pay any wages to the soldier. The contract signed, provided that payment would be made at the rate of $4 per day or a portion thereof, but --dement for the amount of ages due, must be made to the office of the Central Harvest Labor committee, Regina.
Payment should be made to the harvest office in the form of a bank draft or money order payment made to the receiver general of Canada and should be accompanied by completed pay sheets which are provided to each soldier. The pay sheets must be signed by the farmer, the soldier. and the secretary of the local harvest labor committee.

quite frankly thanksgiving as a holiday is likely never to be killed, the same with any other western holiday, as they are stand-ins for seasonal & astronomical celebrations that have always existed.
the ones that exist today exist as such because of marketing and capitalization on settler-colonialism, but unless you provide an alternative holiday for the times of the year & universal events that happen nothing is going to change, there are reasons to celebrate seasons, harvests, & events, and they just happen to be contorted into capitalist & colonialist dates of their choosing, but there is a very easy way to explain why people end up wanting to celebrate at certain times of the year and have for literal centuries
