Perhaps the most import­ ant single answer to this ques­ tion can be found in the lives of all great men. In every case you will find that the man of achievement is a man of de­ termination. When he decides on an objective, he bends every effort to reach it. Nothing deters him. ’ Edison experimented with more than 6,000 filament ma­ terials before he discovered one that met his requirements. This dramatic example shows how persistent we may have to be in order to attain our goal. The trouble is, most of us are too easily discouraged. But if we accept difficulties as challenges to our ability and determination we will develop new powers. And when dis­ couragement sets in, we must hght that, too. So add "the will to win” to your technical knowledge, skill and hard work. You’ll triple your chances of success! • • • Life insurance agents know we all tend to put off doing things—-even when we realize that we ought to do them. Today thousands of families enjoy security because agents continued to remind them of their need for life insurance. 60 One of the rare treats for the members of the party attending the Canadian Weekly Newspapei' Convention at Jasper Park, Alta,, was the Western Ranch Style open air barbeque, The Alberta boys went all out to provide some ^eal , western hospitality and entertainment for the tenderfeet from the East; An old fashioned chuck wagon or prairie schooner was .transported to Jasper from High River and formed the setting beside a picturesque lake foi» a .’barbeque that will be long remembered by those present. The barbeque took place Wed­ nesday at noon but the prepara­ tion for the barbeque was* made Tuesday evening. This was con­ sidered as much an event as the barbeque, itself. At nine o’clock Tuesday eve­ ning busses left the lodge and were taken several miles to the scene of preparation^. Arriving in the dark, two bonfires lit up the Scene apd were a source of warmth as many gathered around. A third pit, we would guess about ten feet long, four to ’five feet "wide and three feet deep, had been dug, lined .with stones, and a huge fire that had been burning for several hours had left a- bed of coals . about six inches thick, and as we watched the coals were smothered with sand. A steer had been provided the generosity of the Pat Burns Co. It was cut up, all bones re­ moved, wrapped in about ten pound parcels, first with cheese­ cloth, then- in burlap, and tied with a wire, These were placed side by side on top of the sand and coals. Leaving a space of a couple of feet above the meat the pit was covered with some old tin and laith was piled on top. We were told that once the meat was cooked it would remain ready for eating fox* a couple of days. However, it didn’t get chance. . Flap Jacks And Coffee From A Chuck Wa^on With light provided ■ by 1 and two maple .syrup, served from the chuck wagon. On a stove with a large pan on lop, six golden brown flapjacks were turned out at a time, as the eager crowd gathered around. Although some were heard to say, "After1 that banquet I have no room for pancakes". .Gathered around“ a camp fire, that autos bonfires, flapjacks, and coffee were and led by someone with a banjo all the .old familiar tunes were sung until the busses returned at JL1 p.111, to take the party back t their, bungalows, supposedly ,to retire, ’but .... The barbeque Wednesday at noon was a great success. The meat .was just as tepdei' as Ted Pooley's turkey barbeque sandwiches ovex* which the local boys rave when the op­ portunity affords itself, . W e neard one man say "I had three sandwiches and didn’t have room for any pie.” It was apple pie and coffee. With the mountains as a back­ ground a group photograph was taken. Several speeches were made, the principle speaker be­ ing Mr. Gup Weadick, one of the pioneex’ ranchers and cowboys, and the man responsible for starting the "Calgary Stampede”. He gave an interesting talk on the old west and of the changes taking place in Alberta since the discovery .of minerals and oil. One of the outstanding fea­ tures at Jasper Park is the golf course, and we weren’t the only one at the convention who skip­ ped a session just to say we had played the Jasper course, The week before we arrived at Jasper the famous Totem Pole ^tourna­ ment -was Crosby the centre of attraction. On the •previous Saturday the weather was cold with snow, but during the jdays we were there it was bright and sunny and we played the course in our shirt sleeves. Nestled in the mountains with sand traps and water haz- ai'ds, it is a mighty picturesque and interesting course. One of the things that attract­ ed the .attention of almost every­ one was the tame animals, Seve­ ral bears with cubs ambled about the cabins, posed for their pic- tui-es and seemed quite conscious of -what they were doing. Our busses passed quite close to some deex* beside the road and they paid little attention. While tee- xng off froxfi a high elevation during a golf game a deex- grazed directly beneath us and paid no attention, even as we descended to within a few feet of it. Some of our , party through to the Pacific others went down to Lake and .Banff, or stopped on the way home to visit relatives. The trip brought home .to us the vast extent of this Canada of ours, tlxe great resources, and tlxe importance she plays as a playground for; the North Ameri- caxx continentT^*;* played with , -Bing IMS ura Business Directory DR* H.
