That hairy forearm betrays the true identity of

During repent week?
have been several newspapers
added to the distrabution of
■this calumn.. It is a challenge
for me when I compare the
total number of reader's of these
home-town papers, and my as
signment to portray and inform
residents about this Canada of
ours from Newfoundland to
Vancouver Island.
■One of the editors of the
newly added newspapers sug
gested! during a conversation a-
bou't my job and past experi
ence that readers would be in
terested in what went before
“Diary of a Vagabond.”
When the column was laun
ched dn 1959, a capsule autobi
ography was dn - the first Re
lease. It contained most of
these facts. I was born to two
decidedly gifted parents. My
father was noted as one of the
first 'successful political car-
T£NPERS are hereby called for the supplying of
6Q0 lbs. of WARBLE FLY POWDER in 15 lb.
bags, and for 150 lbs, of powder packed in
1 lb, bags. ,
Powder to be delivered to Township Office,
Holmesville, by March 26th.,
All tenders to be in the clerk's hands by March
5th,
toonists in the United States.
He was “Doc” Bowman of the
Minneapolis Tribune, whom I
never knew .because he
while I was still in diapers,
During my childhood
mother was one of the
presidents of a world-wide or
ganization, called The Interna
tional Diy Farming Congress.
At that time she was also edi
tor of the magazine, Country
Life 'in Canada. Later she was
women’s editor of the Calgary
Herald'. She wias a gifted artist,
craftswoman,. sculptress as* well
as writer and newspaper
woman.
I grew up to be a contented
housewife. Completely without
talents such 'as my parents
possessed, I coasted as 'mother
and wife for 18 years, My only
outstanding ability seemed to
be that I could make what my
husband called' superb York
shire puddling and lemon pie.
The last war knocked the
props right out from under me.
Suddenly I was not only anoth
er, laundress, housekeeper and
wife, but father and bread-
• winner as well. Skipping lightly
over those war years when I
held positions in a munition
plant and a two year stint with
the YMCA's Special Service
posted' to an airport and a
WREN’s barracks, the armis
tice literally forced me into' a
career.
Fools Bush In ... .
When I was at the end1 of
my material resources, I sub
mitted an article to a Toronto
daily newspaper. This was
printed and I found myself ac
cepting, with more nerve than
good sense, the suggestion of a
■desperate and' harrassed subur
ban editor that I become a
“stringer” (area 'reporter). I
was told this entailed covering
Councils, Home and School
meetings', church ’functions, etc.
Competition’ with the two
daily papers soon forced me
into 'ambulance chasing and
court reportings. I became in
volved (m the capacity of a re
porter) in fires, drownings and
domestic squabbles which made
good headlines.
When the opportunity pre
sented itself to me to invest in
our own home-town paper I
thought my career had hit the
heights. I was NEW'S EDITOR
with a desk and typewriter all
my own!
This 'arduous and exciting job
lasted s'ix years. Then, through
circumstances over which I had
no control, I was made manag
ing editor. With my investment
and that of other shareholders
likely to be doubled, the paper
was sold and I found myself
footloose. That was when this
Diary was conceived.
There have been more than
400 editions.. I have travelled
by rail all' over Canada in
search of copy material and
have met fascinating and inter
esting people in all walks of
life from executives of prosper
ous industries to miners, fisher
men and housewives with artis
tic and creative ability. I have
tried; 'and will continue to do
so,- to capture the excitement
of Canada on paper and to give
you, my readers, a word picture
of this wonderful nation.
