. I learned that some weeks be-
fore, the large office in: which she
earned her weekly wage had of-
lerecl . its employees .:three weeks
With pay if. they would take their
holidays in the early spring: She
had .cOnvineed. three of her fellow
workers that they could take ad-
vantage of the group 'travel plan,
arid see the west coast by train
for little more than it would cost
them to stay at a summer resort
for two weeks at the height of
the season.
I expected to hear an. ecstatic
account, :of the beauties of the
prairies by moonlight, . Mount Rob,
In my betel room. I read, in a
beautifully produced booklet, that
Edmonton, Canada's gateway. to
the north and thestrategle Alaska
Highway, was first merely a fur
trading. post. Originally Fort Ed-
monton, it slowly expanded. out-
side the-Fort walls-. when in .179,5,
the Hudson's. Bay Company esta,
Wished a post there to take ad-
vantage of the rich fur trade of
the north.
I knew, however, before I arriv-
ed in this western city, that there
- are three very divergent reasons
why Edmonton has risen like _ a
phoenix from the ashes of . the'
Northwest Rebellion to its =an-
ent status today, as one of. this
country's Most embitietts cities.
First, the railroad which opened.
up a more 'profitable means. of
transporting the rich results' of .a
good trapping or harvest season;
then the mad military rush to de-
velop the Alaska Highway during
Worl.d War II, when Edmonton
Was' flooded with 'United States'
capital and finally; the flow of
liquid 'gold from the bowels of the
prairies that surround Alberta's
Capital city.
- When I arrived with my cur-
iosity all aflame to witness the
results of one of the biggest
booms in Canadian history, I found
it difficult to 'familiarize myself
With my surroundings. In pre-
war • days I, had visited this Wes-
tern 'city and stayed at the very
beautiful MACDONALD hotel.
When I entered to register, the
warmth of a remembered Georg-
ian period 'had been swalloWed up
in the streamlined decor of the
huge new addition to the hotel.
- It wasn't until I found the.
greeting room and saw the hand-
some old stone fireplace that rea-
ches from floor level to a vaulted
ceiling, that I .' began to feel at
home. I opened the French doom
and stepped out on the terrace
that" overlooksthe winding Sask-
atchewan River. This beautiful
view hadn't changed. I was glad
that nary an oil derrick or US lor-
rie was in sight. I honestly be-
lieve 'I had expected to see the
place inundated with this eviden-
ce, that - is reputed 'to, account for
the" city's amazing growth.
It is sometimes strange how one
can link one's past with the pres-
ent, but I hardly expected to meet
the* ghost of an . old swain in a
little wooden 'church. My whole
attitude toward. tourism has com-
pletely changed since I became an
antique addict. - Now I seek out
anything and -eVerything with a
reputation for being even slightly
ancient. That is' how I came to
be standing in. the hush of Mc-
Dougall Memorial Church, just off
Jasper Avenue. I seemed to be
holding the hand of Dooley Mc-
Dougall and listening to tales- of
his great-great grandfather Geor-
ge McDougall, a reverend gentle-
man who was the chief peacemak-
er between white settler and the
red man for many years.
I _suppose remembering Dooley
made me realize that my locks
had suffered from lack of care for
several days. I reminded myself
that.looks are as important when
one is travelling as when.' one is
in love. So I sought .out the hotel's
bea,ity parlour and was nicely re-
laxed in one of those contortion
chairs with the back. of my head
crooked over--',a basin, when an-
o'he7 beauty aspirant in the next
chair began to chat with 'the op-
e-a'
"Who, me tired? Heck no. After
two weeks travelling mostly by
t-ain, I'm as f-esh as a daisy."
Anybody mention trains and my
eio's stand out like, an elephant's.
I couldn't crane my neck and
get a- look at this little wild flow-
er, for my Adam's apple was hav-
ing a tussle with a too tight col-
lar on the plastic -caps that envel-
oped me. But I couldn't help ov-
erhearing her excited' tale, I hop-
ed the legend that women telLall
their secrets to beauty operators
would prove true, for even the
hot spray that was blinding me
could -not drown out 'the voice of
the girl in the neighbouring chair.
