Road Hospitality
1967 Project
For Canadians
In the belief that visitors to.
Canada or to other provinces
during the centennial year.
Ontario motorists are warned
of . the hazard bf slippery roads
over the Thanksgiving Holiday
weekend.
Hon. Irwin Haskett, Minister
of Transport', said many people
unwisely rely on the speed of
the'ir. own reactions for stop
ping cars even.on slippery sur
faces.
‘ "Your reaction time — no
matter how fast — is only one
factor .in your ability to stop
your car”, he said. “It is less
important than alertness, fore
sight, recognition' of danger,
and choice of action.” C
The Minister said there may
be snow in some sections of the
Province for the holiday. "And
in many areas, there will be
•the .hazard* of Loose leaves on
the roads. If’ these are dampen
ed by rain, the hazardl will be
even greater. ' •
.'The Department urges driv-'
ers tp take these precautions on
slippery roads: drive at slower
speeds; don't follow' the car
ahead closer I than . one car
length for each 10 mph; avoid
all sudden driving . acts' —
steering, braking, acceleration,
oi' turning before vehicle speed
is reduced.

Canadian Highway Safety
Council plans to sponsora
nation-widd centennial project
called "HOSPITALITY ON
THE HIGHWAY”. Basically de
signed to reduce the number of
deaths, injuries and accidents,
the project will urge every mot
orist to think of himself in the
role of host and
ing motorists
throughout 1967.(
"We will ask
drives a vehicle in Canada to
exercise ■ constant Sincere cour
tesy and Thoughtfulness, to go
out of his way to fill his real
role as host to the visiting
guests,” commented P. J. Far
mer, the . Council’s executive
director.
"Plans. are under way 'to1 try
to reach every motorist with
the urgent need to drive to the
best of his ability, and to’ see
that every other motobilsit does
the same. One inhospitable dri
ver could ruin The impression

normally would lose no time in
.spreading the Word. Conversely,
a ’ good impression, gained
through courtesy on the road,
could result in far-reaching
good Will to the nation and the.
province.”
Mb. Farmer added, "A wave
of hospitable driving would Cer
tainly have a beneficial effect
on the way -Canadians drive
and reduce the number of high
way accidents. Besides, a year
of courteous, careful motoring
would instill safe-driving habits
that would carry over for many

For a long time I have been
making casual use of the term
“'birthday .party” when talking
about our "'Centennial of Con--
federation in 1967. Let me
warn you: one must be careful!
I have'n’t heard' from the Vik
ings of course but at least one
member of every other race, or
culture group Which has had
pre-Confederation boots in Can
ada has bent my ear on the
subject of the true birth date
of Oanadaf They include Eng
lish, Scottish, Jewish, Irish,
French and American Can
adians. They were all here be
fore 1867.
There was a Canada, the ar
gument goes, before Confeder
ation. The fact is there was
more than one.
When in Newfoundland one
also contends 'that John Cabot
discovered 4 Canada. In Quebec
the view that. Jacques: Cartier
did, draws considerable support.
Nova Scotians and' NewBruns-
wickers remind us that Cham
plain came here before he visit
ed1 Quebec. Canadian Indians of
course, can discount the first
two claims.
Most disputes I have heard
are- gobd-natured ones, I am
happy to say. It is to a few that
Report No. 23
T need explain that the "birth
day” celebrations next year 'are
to mark the 100th 'anniversary
. of the Confederation that made
Canada a federal state. (The
period is history when Canada
actually. was . "born” perhaps
can only be discussed with any
valid logic by geologists and
archeologists — separately 'of
couris'e.)
When that step was taken in
1867 to make Canada a single
federal state one of the Fathers
of Confederation Said, “We are
striving, to do peacefully, what
Holland and Belgium, .Austria
and Hungary, Denmark and
Germany, Russia and Poland,
could only accomplish by .arm
ed force. Have we not great
cause of thankfulness that we
have (found a better way? Can
the pages of history find a
parallel?”
In this world ithere have been
a few other federal states form
ed, without war, Since our Con
federation of 1867. Some of
the modem exampiles unfortun
ately have come apart again.
■ The birth of our Confeder
ation was an event like no
other in history. Confederation
has continued successfully for
100 years and the “birthday” is
worth celebrating, I’m sure.
Home Is Where The Heart Is
On my front lawn, reminding f
me by the hour that any Way
of life is never lasting, is a
for sale sign. After 30 years, in
residence '' on these acres my
feminine intuition has warned
me It i£ time for a change. The,
little house that has' Sheltered
me iii good times and bad; in
sickness and health; in h'apiness
and sorrow, will 'always be en
shrined in my heart, If I let
myself, I could regret the fact
houses, or should I say homes,
do npt stay in families for one,
generation after another as
they did when Canada’s popu
lation was meagre — when to
own a home- such as this was
not- only a ..rarity but a privi
lege.
Today., in this age of , one
building boom after another,
thebe ils a constant migration of.
our citizenry from one home to
a bigger and better one. Houses,
no longer have the personality
and . -.permanency of- Seven
Oakes in the Red River Settle
ment of West. Kildonan, Mani
toba, dr Ross House, which has
settled so comfortably on its
new foundation in-SIir William’
Whyte, Park in the very heart
of Winnipeg. ,
As I face ■ with considerable
courage, (but I hope good
sense) my* prospective residence
in an apartment, or as my
friends Who stiill cuddle their
deed's put ‘it "become a cliff
dweller”, I find the story, of
these two homes acts rather
like a .poultiae for my ache of
decision to sell.
Both have become something
I know my home will never be,
a tourist attraction. Seven
Oakes House, built in the era
of York Boats and Red River
Carts in the year 1851 was the
home of John Inkster, his wife,
Mary Sinclair, and their nine
children. John, who was born
in the Orkney Isles in the year
1799, came to Canada w'ilth’ the
Hudson’s Bay Company as a
stone mason. Young and am-
.bitious, - he apparently bought
himself out of the Company so
that he might join his uncle
William Inkster, who owned
land on both sides .of the Red
River,
After becoming established
as farmer .on the west side he
sfef himself up as a trader and
merchant. He imported goods
from England by way of Hud
son’s Bay, via York. Boats, to
the Red River. ’His American
goods come from St. Paul, Min
nesota, loaded on Red River
Carts which were in service
overland via Pembina, Dakota
Territory to Fort Garry. Leg
end has it that there were usu
ally several hundred carts in. a
brigade *with every four cabts
in charge of a vbyageur. The
three weeks trip was considered
an' adventure • with plenty ■ of
tea, dancing and mosquitoes I
Seven Oakes House, though not
completed, survived the disas
trous flood of 1852 and still
stands on its ‘impenetrable
foundation built by Inkster, the
stone mason from the Orkney
Isles, who became one of Can
ada’s first successful business
men. ..; ' -
Ross House can boast of be
ing ’ two years younger than
Seven Oakes. In 1854, William
Ross started to build his house, .
which ignominiously, in 1949,
was being'used as an office for
a lumber company and slated
for demolition until saved1 by
the efforts of the Manitoba
Historical Society. Why isv it
now settled- in its, new location
and considered a must for Win
nipeg visitors to see it? Be
cause in 1854, shortly after it
was completed, the settlers
urged the Council of Assiniboia
to establish, a post office, and it
appointed William Ross as
Colony’s first postmaster,
salary was five pounds per
year, which included payment
for the use of his home 'as well.
During the first year* the
.New Postmaster,' whose manu
script postmark Was "Red
River, B.N.A.” dispatched the
Queen’s Mail via runner to
Pemlbina, then in Minnesota. In
that first year William ■ Rpss
handled' 2,912 letters, 2,437
newspapers, and 580 parcels.
On the 100th Anniversary,‘Feb
ruary 28, 1955, when the post
office was,opened for the issu
ing of special “One Day Cover”,
3,256 letters were, stamped with
the special sachet, of stamp,
Which the Post Office of today
•allows the Society to use on
all mail posted in Ross''House.
This special stamping makes
interesting "cover” which
.valued by stamp collectors
over the World. -
