PIONEER DIED AT! 97
From Ron McLelland of Lore-
! bum we have received the fol
lowing clipping from a Regina
paper, referring to an old Luck
now boy, who many years ago
followed Ihe advice,'. ‘*Go West
Young Jlan, Go West”.
One of Saskatchewan’s earliest
Settlers who followed the build
ing of ithe Canadian Pacific raiL
yvay from Kenova., across the
prairies to its completion through
•the Rocky ^Mountains, Norman
MacLeod of Melville died recent-
ly at the age of 97 years.
; Predeceased by hisj wife ih
1929, Mr. MacLeod is survived
by five daughters, Mrs. M. Sark-
issian, Nipawin; Mrs. A. Harris,
Peachland, BA; Mrs, E. Enman,
Winnipeg; Mrs. A. Neibergall,
Neudorf; and Mrs. C. Dunn, 2721
McCallum avenue, Regina; foUr
sons, £)onald, Alex and Roderick
of Grenfell and James, Neudorf.
Burial was in Melville cemet-0
ery. Agriculture Minister* J. G.
Gardner, a long time friend, was
among the pallbearers.
Born in the Isle of Skye, Scot
land, July 28, 1855, Mr. MacLeod
came to Canada, with his. family
&££ -of eight. Making Jihe
trip iby sail and steam vessel, the
family spent six Weeks oh the
water before arriving in Canada
and Lucknow.
In 1873 Mr. MacLeod went
west to Duluth, but returned east
for the winter. The following
year he went west again, secur
ing his first job at Rat Portage^
~ later namgd/'KWor^—^and
worked on the building of the
CPR, through and across the
prairies to the Rocky mountains.
He was 19 years, old at the (time.
i - - ” W
I It was through working with
; the construction crew at Rat Por
tage that Mr. MacLeod is said to
have first heard of Jhe Qu’-
Appelle valley, where he event
ually homesteaded and^farmed
j for 'fhore' ^ITari“ 50 years. In 1874
‘ he walked from Raf Portage to
'Moose Jaw, a. distance of some
500 miles, to deliver a message to
surveying) crews. While on the
way, Mr. MacLeod is said to have
heard of a “valley to the north”
............. from some Indiims. He visited

^This'is a week of birthday part;
ies parties for father and son.
Wo parties you understand; not
a joint affair. And John was at
Judy’s, whose birthday is the
same day as his. He had his a
__^ayqate,LSQ-they~couId-have-twp
celebrations. -
John’s was last nighV and I’m
still limp, as unstarched as a uni-
. torn that you have worn three
days! Among his gifts were two
guns. Our house is laid . out so
you enter the living room
end of a ibig double room from
the hall, and farther down is a
door into the dining room from
the hall. Just wonderful for tear-
ing around and around and
around, or sneaking up from be-
hind with a shout of “Stick ’Em
Up”. And I was Weak enough |
to have furnished a - few noise
makers myself, paper horns, etc.
__ The -youngsters may have just
as much fun at a party that aL
lows for a few intervals of un
planned play, but “theZ mother
will emerge much less ragged if
she has a completely planned
program.
I wrapped a small something
for each guest, a couple of comic
books, tiny notebooks, which
■\ most youngsters love, horns and
; funny hats, and hid them about
the room; They had fun hunting
them. Then they played a version
of the old hunt “hot. or cold”
game; we took the skunk from
jQhn’s' winter garden, and they
- - hid- it. -When^-the—“hunter”—appi
proached its vicinity they held I
their "noses. Then they hid a;
rooster napkin ring and crowed
? when the hunt became hot. That
was a fine noisy game.'
Then supper time. John had J
ordered ribibon sandwiches, which |
the children dubbed “Dagwoods”.;
They proved very popular,, with
. a layer of chicken filling, one of
tomato, and one of finely chop-
■ ped spinach. Very colorful, you
see. And there were Ordinary
sandwiches of peanut, butter and (
for good chewing. Three-in-one
cookies with chocolate chips,
j with chopped peanuts, with chop^
ped dates and almonds. Some
were iced in pink and some in
pale green, and were decorated
with silver berries, chocolate
shptr etc., with the initial of each
child ... a time-consuming oper- (
ation. (January is a good time
for parties . . . you usually have
a lot of decorative potentialities
; left from Christmas.) The birth
day cake .sat on a big glass sand
wich plate, surrounded by marsh
mallows forming candle-bolders,
with a red life-saver for a handle.

Dear Campbell: .
-Renewal time has. rolled around
again so am enclosing a money
order to cover same.
Have noticed in The Sentindi
that the winter back there , has
.beeri mild, and ice-making in the
arena a problem. We, have seen
_a„^few.„.snowil akes here —oh—the
higher levels, and shortly after
’New Years some fell and stayed
for a few’^hours. Since /then; rain
has fallen almost every day-. The
record was. broken with .twenty
eight. rainy days in the month.
Oh well, we don’t have to shove!

What has happened, to the
hockey teams in IDucknow. it
seems.to me the old home town
always led the district,’ in sports

took a good' deal of interest in

of pride in the. results year after
