Extractions: IOJD in Manitoba Job's Daughters began in Manitoba with the appointment of a Grand Guardian back in 1923! These Grand Guardians were responsible for promoting interest in the budding organization and attempting to instititute new Bethels. It is noted that in 1924 an interesting report was submitted on Manitoba's behalf. Mrs. Kathleen Wood took up the fight in 1924. Manitoba, in fact Canada, is not again mentioned in our history until 1931 when British Columbia made our Order international! Manitoba first Bethel was chartered on July 15, 1934. We was honoured to have May F. Pascoe serve as Supreme Director of Music in 1938-39. During Bethel 1's long stay as the only Bethel in Manitoba WAR broke out. We were part of the 11 reports submitted containing relief efforts amounting to $5 000 in War Bonds and Stamps, $10 000 cash donated to the Red Cross and purchase of War Stamps, 18 875 hours of sewing for the Red Cross and we knitted sweaters, mittens, scarves, helmets, wristlets, afghans, shawls and stretcher covers. 500 boxes of cookies and 500 filled and packed knapsacks were sent to Army Camps. 200 Daughters were blood donors, 130 took First Aid, 85 took Home Nursing, 150 took Nutrition, 50 took Canteen Courses, 50 Air Raid Wardens, 100 Messengers, 75 Ladies in Grey and 600 served at USO and on sugar rationing. Two Manitoba Daughters were in Service for our Country. Bethel 2 was chartered on December 20, 1949. Bethel 3 was offered Dispensation December 1, 1953 and was chartered March 16, 1954. Bethel 4 of Selkirk, the first non-Winnipeg Bethel, was offered Dispensation March 19, 1954 and was chartered October 12, 1954. Bethel 5 was offered Dispensation May 9, 1954 and we were chartered, as West Kildonan, Manitoba (now merely a suburb of Winnipeg) on Nov 21, 1954. In this year we monetarily contributed to the attendance of Job's Daughter representatives from Hawaii and Australia to Supreme Sessions. Bethel 6, in Brandon (putting B5 in a non-WG Bethel sandwich! Yeah!) was offered Dispensation September 14, 1955 and was chartered Februrary 26, 1956.

Extractions: E. J. B. Salter appointed District Secretary for the Western Auxiliary of the Bible Society in 1904, exemplified the kind of commitment and perseverance required to advance the Bible cause in Western Canada. The following is an except from one of his reports. (Source: A History Of The Canadian Bible Society by Gerald E. Benson with Kenneth G. McMillan. pp.51,52) One winter night, after holding a meeting in Estevan, I traveled over the whole town to secure a place of shelter, but found none. I crawled into an implement shed and lay down. At 1:00 o'clock in the morning, I awoke so stiff that I could hardly move sufficiently to get circulation but, after much effort, I made my way to the railway station to wait till a train came along. I found ten men stretched out on the floor and benches. A good fire was blazing in the Cannon stove, which derives its name from its shape. There was only room enough to stand. To go into the cold again was unthinkable. Wearing a heavy winter coat which I could not remove, I stood till morning. The only standing place was uncomfortably near the stove and I was sleepy almost beyond endurance. About 5:30 a.m. a train arrived going north and I boarded it and fell asleep.

http://www.creditunion.mb.ca/cu_info/history.htm

Extractions: Alfonse Desjardins The first credit union in North America was organized in 1900 by a Canadian journalist and legislative reporter, Alfonse Desjardins, in Levis, Quebec. Desjardins got his ideas of financial co-operatives - of people pooling resources for their mutual benefit - from Europe, where one of the first credit societies was founded in 1852 by Friedrich Wilhelm Rafeissen, the mayor of Flammersfeld, Germany. Rafeissen was distressed at the near-starvation conditions endured by local farmers and townspeople, who were losing their homes and livestock to moneylenders who charged exorbitant interest rates. Dejardins saw that credit unions offered a way out. The first credit union in Manitoba was a caisse populaire, organized in 1937 by Father Benoit in the French farming community of St. Malo. Its citizens, like most farmers on the continent, were suffering during the Great Depression; Father Benoit brought them together to help each other financially. The first loan to a member for $56.50, repaid in $2 monthly installments financed the purchase of a cream separator. Seven months later in the same year, Norwood Credit Union was founded in Winnipeg. (The oldest existing credit unions in the province are Lowe Farm and The Pool, both founded in 1938.)

http://anavets283.com/history01.html

Extractions: September 20, 1917,and amended August 31, 1946 The Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada holds the proud distinction of being the oldest Veteran organization in this country. The Association's history is closely identified with the Canadian tradition. As Canada in the year 1967 celebrated it's 100th Anniversary of Confederation, the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada commemorated the 127th year of its formation. Documentary evidence shows that the organization was in existence in 1840 under the title of the Army and Navy Veterans, and it is reasonable to believe that Units of the association were active before that date. Membership in the earliest Units was recruited from the ranks of Veterans of the War of 1812-14 and migrating Veterans of the Navy and Wellington's Army. So it is even possible to assume that some form of organization was in existence even as early as 1812. The first actual record of the Army and Navy Veterans in Canada indicates its existence in the City of Montreal in 1840, and that date is arbitrarily accepted as the time of founding. From 1812 to 1871 the Imperial Government kept a garrison in Canada for defence against the possibility of an American invasion. Many of the soldiers left the service to become settlers but retained affiliation with the Army and Navy Veterans. Similarly, many young Canadians took commissions in the Imperial Army and served as a connecting link between the service of Canada and England.

As Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, I am honoured to participate in the opening ceremonies of the Regional Heritage Fair 2002. It is very fitting that this pertinent heritage event is taking place here in this magnificent heritage landmark...which was built in 1904 as Winnipeg's CPR Station, where thousand of immigrants to Canada arrived by train to begin a new life in Manitoba. It is noteworthy that the building is now owned by Manitoba's original citizens and serves as the home of the Aboriginal Centre of Winnipeg. And it is significant that the Heritage Fair is one of a series of events with which we are celebrating a very special day in Manitoba's history...its 132nd birthday...officially observed on May 12. As The Queen's representative in Manitoba, I extend warm good wishes to all of our citizens as we celebrate Manitoba Day with a reflection on the province's origin, an appreciation of our heritage and optimism for the future.

http://www.winnipeg.freenet.mb.ca/iphome/s/slam/slhistry.html

Extractions: According to Hindu legend the greater part of Sri Lanka was conquered in prehistoric times by Ramachandra, the seventh incarnation of the supreme deity Vishnu. The written history of the country begins with the chronicle known as the Mahavansa. This work was started in the 6th century AD and provides a virtually unbroken narrative up to 1815. The Mahavansa was compiled by a succession of Buddhist monks. Because it often aims to glorify or to degrade certain periods or reigns, it is not a wholly reliable s ource despite its wealth of historical material. Ancient Sinhala The Mahavansa relates that the island was conquered in 504 BC by Vijaya, a Hindu prince from northeast India. After subjugating the aboriginal inhabitants, a people now known as Veddas, Vijaya married a native princess, encouraged emigration from the main land, and made himself ruler of the entire island. However, the realm (called Sinhala after Vijaya's patrimonial name) that was inherited by his successors consisted of the arid region lying to the north of the south-central mountain system. Members of th e dynasty founded by Vijaya reigned over Sinhala for several centuries. During this period, and particularly after the adoption in the 3rd century BC of Buddhism as the national religion, the Sinhalese created a highly developed civilization. Extant evid ence of their engineering skill and architectural achievements includes remnants of vast irrigation projects, many ruined cities, notably the ancient capital Anuradhapura, and numerous ruined shrines called dagabos.

Extractions: Lake Winnipeg has been alternately sparkling in serenity and unleashing its fury on the silent shore for thousands of years. Many beaches dot its shoreline, but the largest, and most beautiful of all, is Grand Beach. The 3 kilometres of white sandy beaches are located only 80 kilometres from Winnipeg, making Grand Beach an attractive destination. Grand Marais , meaning Big Marsh. Today both French and English titles exist side by side, giving tribute to both beach and lagoon which combine to give the area a unique charm. Grand Beach is on the historic The Canadian Northern Railway completed laying the track to Grand Beach and developed a resort in 1916. For the next 15 years the resort enjoyed the post-war construction boom. Even during the depression, Grand Beach was the only resort in Manitoba to realize a profit. Bathing suits were first rented out at the bath houses on the beach. When waterlogged, these sagging, wool garments added considerable extra weight to the poor swimmers. Times changed, and swimsuits got smaller and more practical. Body building and bathing beauty contests developed, and tanning became a deliberate art The grandest of all the building at Grand Beach was the Dance Pavilion. Rumour has it that this was the largest Dance Hall of its time in the Commonwealth. Until its destruction by fire in 1950, this was the major source of entertainment and the central meeting spot of the resort community. Entire families and all age groups would enjoy the music of the band hired by the railway for the entire season. Admission was originally free, but in the Twenties "Jitney" (a nickel a dance) dancing began.

Extractions: Home The History of the Crafts Guild of Manitoba by Dot From (published Fall 2001) Researchers wishing to study Manitoba or Canadian history, the development of arts and crafts within the country and specifically the province, or the history of women in the arts, will find this book a valuable source of information about the remarkable women of the Crafts Guild of Manitoba and the time in which they lived. The History of the Crafts Guild of Manitoba is available from the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library for $15 each. Shipping is $5 - $10 per book, depending on destination. All proceeds from the sale of this book support the ongoing operations of the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library. Abstract The history of the Crafts Guild of Manitoba, 1928-1997, is a compelling story about intelligent, independent, creative and energetic women who accepted a challenge, only to realize more challenges as their determination to make a difference propelled them along many different pathways. Perhaps most amazing of all is the fact that the Crafts Guild continued to attract visionary women, who sensed the changing needs of society and were able to readily adapt. Always focused on the job at hand, they were also dreamers who had the ability to make dreams come true. The activities of the Crafts Guild reflected a diverse mandate marketing, teaching and preserving crafts which frequently tested their leadership as they blazed new trails and offered prototype models. And these same activities paralleled cultural developments within the province and indeed Canada. Much more than a Crafts Guild

Extractions: How it all began... The Winnipeg Auto Club was formed in 1904, and shortly thereafter on Feb. 25, 1908 the province required all motor vehicles to be registered for the flat fee of $2. The registrant received a round aluminum disc to be mounted on the dashboard, and the markers were to be owner-provided. Unfortunately not many of these owner-made plates carry any inscription of Manitoba, making them difficult to authenticate without supporting documentation. They are typcially made of leather, with metal house numbers attached.

Try the Brandon Sun for Free Information Fund-Raising Opportunities History of the Brandon Sun Wednesday, April 9, 2003 The Brandon Sun can look back on a steady growth which has paralleled that of the city itself. Founded before more than 100 years ago before the city received a charter, The Sun, through a succession of owners, has been an integral part of Western Manitoba life as the city progressed from a tent-town in the land rush days of the 1880s to the thriving prairie community it is today. Thomas Greenway, of Exeter, Ont., struck the spark which ignited a flame of adventure in 31-year-old Will J. White. With visions of the great prairies, linked to east and west by a gleaming ribbon of steel, urging him on, Will White travelled by rail, steamboat and foot to reach Brandon and establish The Sun. How he set up shop and acquired the hand-press on which he cranked out the first issue of The Sun on Jan. 19, 1882, must remain a mystery, but it must have taken an optimistic foresight for him not to turn right around and go back to Ontario. In his memoirs published in a 1927 "Oldtimers Edition" of The Sun the first publisher recalled "I soon reached Brandon. What! No building, nothing but tents? It looked for all the world like an army under canvas - at least that was all my vision took in at first glance. Tents formed the strong scene in the picture. But there were buildings - a few."

These are the memories of a world at war. A WWII Corvette Rises in a heavy sea. It was during these tumultuous times that so many young prairie men from towns like Carmen, Portage, The Pas and Dauphin went out to join the navy. Nobody could predict the connection between the flat prairies and a call to the sea, but once the war was over it was undeniable. Many Manitobans served their country through naval service. The goal of the Naval Museum of Manitoba is to promote the history of Canada's Navy, especially as it pertains to those Manitobans who have served with the Navy. The Naval Museum captures a moment in history, remembering the lifestyle, sense of duty and patriotism of Canadian sailors during times of peace and war. In creating this archive, many Manitobans have served their community by donating artifacts, time and energy to a successful effort.
