A former Exeter resident, Miss Miriam Elston will present a collection of articles to the new Alberta Centennial museum. The following article was published in the Edmonton Journal recently and forwarded for the theorem,. tion of those in this area, Miss Miriam Elston celebrate ed her 91st birthday Thursday by preparing the gift she will present newt week to the Prov- inee of Alberta. Her scrapbooks, articles and photographs containing valuable information on Alberta's early history are to be preserved in the new Centennial Museum. Born in Exeter, Ontario in 1874, Miss Elston came to Ed- monton in 1908. She joined the young city's teaching staff as a lecturer in domestic arts and sciences and for the next four years "taught every young girl in town how to cook and sew and make her own hats." But, she recalls, "Much as I enjoyed my work, I always had a hankering to write, because I'd made such high marks in English composition when I went to school myself." SERIES • She began with a series of articles on the new immigrants coming to the west. During holi- days, she visited and lived among them in the little settlements springing up around Edmonton. Then she wrote with sympathy and understanding of their strug- gles in a strange and unknown country, of their diligence and of their customs, which even then were beginning to enrich the mosaic of Canadian history. She was not at all surprised when editors in eastern Canada and Britain snapped up her ar- ticles immediately, and asked for more. "After all", Miss Elston says now eI was writing facts about interesting people and I knew perfectly well everybody else By MRS. G.

During the next few years she became a regular contributor to all the best known newspapers and magazines then published. Beginning as an amateur photo- grapher, she took many of her own pictures to accompany her articles. And very carefully, she preserved copies of everything she wrote "just in case anybody might want to read them over again some day." That ((some day" has arrived.

Schools are bigger and brighter, if not better. The teenagers have taken over popular music and public attention. Television tire- lessly hurls verbal and visual garbage in our unresisting faces. Murder and rape walk city streets, even in daytime. Not to mention racial sfrife, the wel- fare state, frozen foods, instant everything, and Japanese motor scooters. It's a long, long way from that simple, cut-and-dried, black-and white society in which most of today's middleagers, caught in a world revolution, were brought up. If our parents and grandpar- ents could be brought back from their eternal rest for a quick look at, our world, they would probably go straight into deep shock. They might be able to cope with most of the items above, but there is one thing that would send them right a- round the bend: — the change in our observance of Sunday. When I was a kid, Sunday, aside from its religious aspects, was a day of rest, literally. There was nothing else to do. For the average family, it was church in the morning, home for a big noon dinner, flake out for a nap for the adults, gloomy poking around house or back- yard for the kids, supper, and early to bed. No swimming, no fishing, not even a game of catch. peace and quiet, however, resen- ted by the young. Only variation in this was the descent of a horde of dull rela- tives. Everyone then sat around in Sunday best, in parlor or on porch, and gassed interminably about Cousin Elwood's bad back or Aunt Arlene's asthma. I grew up thinking that Sunday was just a day on which you could- n't do anything worthwhile. My attitude toward the Sabbath was that the sooner it was over, the better. But even then, though I was too young to notice, the rot had set in. Some of the wilder ele- ments in the community began smashing the Calvinistic gloom. Here and there, a family would not only go for a drive on Sun- day, but smuggle swimming suits and a picnic lunch along. Before you knew it, the odd family was secretly listening to Jack Benny on the radio, after supper. The virus spread like wildfire. By the time I achieved manhood, the grand old traditional Sunday was crumbling rapidly. The more reckless among the young fellows began hanging around the Chinese restaurant or going for walks with girls. Some of the pure an- archists among them star t e d playing tennis and fishing and all sorts of unspeakable things. From there, of course, it was only a step to wearing sports clothes and smoking and having a beer on Sunday. Drugstores and restaurants began staying open, to cope with this new wave of wantonness. Sunday sports got one toe in the door, then kicked it wide open. Sunday movi es moved in. The beaches set up midway rides, The transistor radio was invented, along with the drive-in. And you know, too, what's hap- pened to the peace and quiet of our old childhood Sunday. Sports cars bellow, lawnmowers snarl. Traffic whines on highways, chil- dren whine at beaches. Transis- tors blare Beatles-beat. Power boats drum and throb. The air is sweet with the pock of golf balls ricocheting off trees, and water- skiers ricocheting off the heads of swimmers. Beer cans clang on asphalt. Couples wrangle ;on gin and tonic. Even the birds have to shout louder to hear each other. And all that, Dads, is why your old man went back from a rest to work on Monday, while you go back to work for a rest. CARP ER L),? , ), 1(rk. , afiiill.,--.._ The day of no res
