Ry MARJORIE STEINER ^fr. and Mrs. William Sillery, who returned recently from a five-week trip to the Canadian west, had many interesting ex periences ranging from being pulled through muddy roads by tractor near Clearwater to stand ing on three feet of snow near Lake Louise. Not even a flat tire was exper ienced by Mr. and Mrs. Sillery on their 36-day vacation trip. During this time they called on 127 relatives, some of whom they had not previously met. Mrs. Sillery’s brother. Albert ton, returned with them relatives in this district first time in 35 years. Leaving home on June made their first stop-over at North Bay. They found the scenery beauti ful as they traveled the Trans Canada highway to the West. The lakes were numerous and their names were interesting. David, James, Angus. Nellie and Blanche were a few Mrs. Sillery noted as they traveled along the smooth highway enjoying the blue of Hamil- to visit for the .5. they the lakes and the green of the trees. Their second stop-over was at Kapuskasing Inn where the Queen stayed while on her Can adian tour. At Port Arthur, where the Sil- lerys spent the next night, they saw the large pulp mills. Seven teen miles farther on Kakabeka Falls was an interesting and pretty spot. The next day they drove to K en or a on the Lake-of-the- Woods. That night a wind storm came up which fairly shook the lake-shore cabin they had rented for the night. The hydro was off for a while and everyone seemed nervous. Windstorm Damage As the Sillerys started out tor Winnipeg the next morning, workmen were busy straighten ing hydro and telephone poles which were slanted at precarious angles as the result of the wind storm. In the city itself they saw the business block which had been destroyed by fire when a neon sign was blown down.

Many side roads in the Clearwater district, where 4,5 of Mrs. .Sillery’s relatives live, were impassable and on three oc casions their car was drawn through muddy roads behind a tractor. Fields were covered with water, cellars flooded and dykes were being built at Brandon and other towns bordering the As- sinahoia river. There are many heavers in that part of the country and the Sillerys were interested in watch ing them fell trees and build dams. They have become a nuisance be- caus of the many trees they de stroy.

The first, time they went Mr. Green and several employees were clearing the creek where a dam had overflowed to protect the factory from flood waters resulting from a near cloudburst at Thornhill, a neighboring town.

Weather conditions proved at Regina though farmers had not been able to get on the land from May 22 to June 21 because of rain.

The trip from Regina to Moose Jaw along the Qu’Appelle Valley was one of the most scenic parts of the trip. Attend Celebration At Calgary preparations were being made for the stampede. While there the Sillerys attended the fiftieth anniversary celebra tion of the Calgary Caledonia soccer club of which Bob Suther land, husband of Mrs. Sillery’s cousin, was a member. People were talking about the killing of a lynx and a cougar which were thought to have prowled into the area in search of food the night before the Sillerys arrived. At Banff they called on Rev. Gordon Peddie, B.A., whom they had met when he was a student minister at Bayfield. He is now pastor of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. Banff. The old church built in 1888 and in which Ralph Conner had preached, has been replaced by a new church. The old one still remains in use as a school hall. Mr. Peddie took the Sillerys on a sight-seeing trip which in cluded a visit to Banff Springs hotel. Seven to 800 people are employed in this 900-room hotel. Many young people from that area find summer employment there as it is a favorite conven tion spot. When our friends were there, 1500 nurses were attend ing a convention at the hotel. Rev. Peddie had been invited to view the filming of “The River of No Return,” starring Marilyn Monroe, and “Saskatchewan,” in which Allan Ladd played a lead ing role. Both pictures used the Bow River as the setting. Historic Mountains Banff has no self government but is administered from Ottawa. The Cascade mountains dominate its background. One historic mountain peak, formerly known as Castle Mountain because of its resemblance to a castle, has been renamed Mt. Eisenhower. Mt. Rundle, another famous peak, was named after Rev. R. Rundle, first white missionary to the Northwest Territory. While traveling through Banff National Park, the Sillerys saw bears, deSr and mountain goats.
