There are some things you just never forget, like the blue of a summer sky, or little gusts of wind that playfully gather puffs of newly fallen snow and heap them like spun sugar in the lee of a rockery. The cold turquoise blue of the man's eyes I shall remember for al- ways. They peered from a face that looked like an unmade bed beneath a coonskin cap set at a jaunty, devil-may-care angle atop his scraggily graying hair. This was Caribou Bill and he sat puffing his' pipe beside a motheaten stuffed polar bear amidst a conglomeration of trappers' equipment in his self appointed job as' curator of a roadside museum in Cranberry Portage, Man. His was just one of several museums I visited during the past summer, while jaunting by rail to the Arctic's rim and westward to the sands of the Pacific Ocean. And now, with winter folding in around our wee. house, I like to light a fire on the field stone hearth and take each memory of my trav- els from where I tucked them away for future reference. These are the delightful travel experiences o ne encounters, which cost nothing to store and often prove to be priceless men- tal treasures over the years. There was the mission mus- eum at Churchill, where Eski- mo artifacts are displayed' in a small, smelly 'building support- ed entirely by the sale of pic- ture postcards. The odour one gets' mad to, for it exudes from leather cured over seal oil fires and 'bottled embryos of polar bears and other creatures pe- culiar to the Arctic. Beaded mukluks and jackets, leather clad Eskimo dolls and the bone carvings from tusks of fur bear- ing seals fascinated me for hours, though the museum was little bigger than . my living- room. Some of the carvings are undoubtedly priceless f or they are the early searchings of these people of the snows for artistic expression. Nowadays, soapstone carvings, created by a more commercially wise race of Eskimos, though still artis- tically exciting, haven't the stark originality of those gath- ered beneath the roof of the Churchill museum. Its curator was not what I would call a cheerful character. He spoke broken English smat- tered With a French patois that burst forth in a high tenor key When members of the CNR tour were not beguiled into buying several dozen post cards. Both his welcome and salesmanship were of a poor variety and could have spoiled this advent,, ure for Me on the shores of Hudson's Bay, had I not been enchanted by the authenticity of the collection. Further south we stopped at Sam Wellar's "Little Northern Museum" at The Pas, This is a small gray shingled building where a retired school teacher, with this delightfully Dicken- sian name, has gathered literal- ly thousands of items ranging from a robin's egg to the lean- era from an Indian Chief's war bonnet, The taxidermy eXecut- ed to create a lifelike appear- ance in hundreds of feathered replicas that lined the main morn of the museum, WAS pretty atilt in some instances, but the owner Of the remark- 5.

It was not, however, con- fined to any specific type of collection. It was just anything and e.anything that had come to hand to collect dust over the years and amuse a former educator. Like the frosting on the cake, I have saved the best for the 7,IaSt. I suppose all of us, at some 'time, are given to wond- ering what a multimillionaire does with his surplus funds. I discovered the use one western- er has made of profits gained by his faith in the future of prairie oil wells. Eric L. Har- vey, Q.C., LL.D., of Calgary, Alta., and his family have gen- erously established the Glenbow Foundation in that city, which will prove a boon 'to students of the future and preserve for- ever, pioneer days in its display of material dealing with the human and natural history of western Canada. It is a frustrating experience for any writer to try and ex- porind his or her enthusiasm in just so many words. A book could be filled about 'this und- ertaking which is not a public museum as such, but is a tre- mendous store of literature, documents, paintings, Eskimo and Indian 'artifacts made avail- able to students, authors, edit- ors and others engaged in hist- orical research. To me it seemed a pity that I was• requested not to mention by name members of the staff when I recounted my visit to the Foundation. I feel. how- ever, I must use up a few of my preciious words to say that Mr. Harvey has chosen a fas- cinating group of enthusiasts to man this enterprise. Three buildings have been purchased to house the Founda- tion, two lovely old homes, which in themselves hold a store of memories, 'and a small church the congregation has outgrown. I watched a woman lovingly reclaim an ancient book in her studio perched among the tree- tops on the third floor of one house. She has hoarded old papers, vellum, bookbinder's tools and leathers to make her work authentic and restore old manuscripts to their original beauty. In the basement of another house, staff members were de- lighted with a new donation of clothing worn by early settlers in the MacLeod district, Hours, I was told, would be spent to restore their early splendour, for these settlers brought with them from their aristocratic homes abroad many fine feath- ers to be worn at gay social gatherings in bleak prairie towns. But perhaps for me, the most exciting collection com- prises the pictures, paintings and drawings that not only give joy to those visiting the Found- ation, but are loaned upon re- ottes.t for outside exhibition. Paintings by western artists ranging from Charlie Russell to Chssing are displayed on huge, steel framed burlap portable walls, hung from the ceilings on yeah:al units, which permit a visitor to easily View literally hundreds of the finest western pictures money can acquire, This was my home town, city of the foothills. In these two PM Club Has Enjoyable Party Mrs. Henry Sloman was host- ess for the Past Mistresses •Club of the LOBA which met at the home of ACM Bessie, Sloman, Joseph Street on Wednesday evening, February 15.

Now I had come back to •greet familiar faces in fad- ed photographs that hung from the walls of this priceless gift to posterity, The Glenbow Foundation, More than a quar- ter of a century separated me from the familiarity of these surroundings, but for centuries the history of the great west will be preserved, thanks to one man's generosity in sharing the wealth he has gained from a prairie's rich store.
