The origin of this car has begun just when J.N. Willys met up with Charles Y. Knight whilst on a trip to England. Knight has convinced Willys that the sleeve valve engine had some very desirable features over the poppet valve motor. As soon as he reached England, J.N. Willys hired a Knight sleeve valve powered Daimler and covered 4,500 miles of English and Scottish roads in just 15 days – a decent test for those days.

The Provincial Board of Health was responsible for the regulation of health care in the Province of Manitoba. At a meeting in 1897 made mandatory “the notification of every known case of smallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever shall be immediately given to the Health Officer of the Municipality.

At a meeting in 1900 adequate protection against the importation of infectious diseases, through foreign immigration to Manitoba was discussed. As a result Municipal and Health Officers were sent a circular on the benefits of vaccination as protection against smallpox.

In April, 1916 the Provincial Board of Health passed a regulation to “select a sufficient number (of District Health Nurses) to meet the present requirements of health administration throughout the province.., at salaries not to exceed $75 per month and traveling and living expenses while on duty outside their respective regular places of domicile.”

Before there were Nursing Stations in Rosser, the District Health Nurse lived in Selkirk and covered the Interlake area. At that time duties would include school inspections, immunizations clinics, etc.

The Nursing Station and resident Public Health Nurse came about because many doctors were signing up to serve in the armed services in World War II and it was often difficult to get medical attention when needed. A request by the Rosser Women’s Institute to Rosser Council and Provincial Department of Health resulted in the arrival of Public Health Nurse Helen Patterson in Rosser. She was followed by Phyllis Hammond and then Margaret Leslie.

The nurse worked from 9:00 am. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. She was expected to spend most weekends in the community and take an active part in community life. As well the nurse was on call for any emergency that might arise. Her duties included: regular inspection of each child in each school in the municipality, with notes sent home to each child’s parent about any health problems encountered followed by a home visit; home visits to ex-TB patients, all newborns, pregnant mothers, diabetics and seniors; immunization clinics for school and preschool children as well as baby and preschool clinics; quarantine for communicable disease; emergencies.

In July of 1946 the Provincial Department of Health set up the Health Unit system now in place. The nursing station was closed and the resident nurse moved to another location. With the Health Unit, the Health Department phased out the emergency service for Rosser. Rosser Municipality was served by the Public Health nurse from the Stonewall Health Unit Office and this continues today.

The gate’s history is one of rejection and threatened destruction and its existence today, as the centerpiece of Fort Garry Gateway Park on the east side of Fort Street, seems due more to luck and happen stance than civic planning. The last remnant of Upper Fort Garry, which was dismantled in 1881-1882, the gate is a shell structure. The only decoration on its bare stone walls are commemorative plaques by the Canadian Club of Winnipeg and the Historic Sites Advisory Board of Canada.

This essay was written by Kent Morrison about his memories and experiences at the Gordon elevator in Manitoba.

The Gordon elevator was built in 1928. It caused a lot of activity around Gordon, Manitoba. I remember playing baseball that summer. The baseball diamond was just across the railroad in the field presently owned by Bill Galbraith. There are lots of people and spectators at our Sunday games as the people working on the elevator lived in trailers at the site.

I remember one incident very well although I do not remember the year. Charlie Pulfer from Balmoral was the elevator man at the time. He had a lot of trouble starting the diesel engine and quite often he would come to get me to start it for him. The motor was a one-cylinder diesel and to start it you had to turn the fly wheel around to the compression stroke, pour a little gas in the carburetor, flip the magneto and then it would fire. This one morning in the winter he phoned for me. I hitched the team of horses to the sleigh and drove over.

I fired up the motor and it backfired just as Charlie was putting the gas in it. That set the jug of gas on fire. Charlie threw it on the floor, it shattered, then the whole engine room was on fire. As Charlie ran through it to get out the door his clothes caught fire. I went out the window and ran around to the side of the building where Charlie was rolling in the snow. I saw he was going to be all right and ran back into the elevator, grabbed up two fire extinguishers, opened up the office door a little and emptied both of them inside. By this time Charlie had the fire on his clothes put out so I jumped in the sleigh box and headed for home to get a couple of axes. I thought we’d have to cut the walk to the elevator out to try and save the elevator from the fire. I don’t think the people in the team knew how fast they could run until that day. When I got back to the elevator and opened the door to the office we saw that the fire extinguishers had smothered out the fire. The office being lined with sheets of aluminum and painted saved the building. With cleaning and a fresh coat of paint the elevator was back to business as usual.

It’s summer then in Manitoba and I was working in the driveway when I heard a kind of crackling noise. On checking into it I found that the roof of the driveway was on fire. Luckily John Cross was hauling grain in at the time and he carried water from the neighboring people while I was up on the roof trying to put out the fire. We got the fire out without too much damage. We had put out a call for people of the Winnipeg Fire Department and they arrived about 10 minutes after the fire was out. To make sure it stayed out they sprayed water all over the place and then we really had a mess to clean up.

It is a famous saying that you cannot get farmers to agree on anything. I must say that the fall and winter of 1968 showed me that that saying is not true. The fall of 1968 was a very wet year and all the grain had been threshed tough or damp. The Pool put in a dryer and we dried grain day and night. We always had to have people ready to bring in their grain and there were many times that a farmer would get a phone call to bring in his grain in a couple of hours regardless of the time. It was really nice to see the farmers get together and go out and really help one another. Many farmers put in many a sleepless night hauling grain in and out.

I could go on and on telling stories about being an elevator man during the time that I was at the elevator.

There are people around who will remember emptying those terrible annexes. I remember carrying all those grain doors to cooper up the cars – papering the doors – patching the holes and cracks in those old wooden cars. I remember times when you would take grain in all day and load cars all night. Many a time I would go home at 2 or 3 in the morning hoping it would rain only to wake up to find farmers lined up to get into the famous elevator.

As I drive by the elevator now I see about 20 cars lined up to be loaded and in a short while they are loaded. In my time it would have taken a week to load that many rail cars. As I think back over the times gone by to the times of today, I think how much easier it must be to run the elevator today. I know they handle much more grain than we did back then, they also handle more fertilizers, more spray and other things. I also see those big elevators with those big bins, electric car movers and I think back to the days when we had to shovel out those flat bottomed bins – also use those jacks to move the cars.

As I stop and think about it, it was 45 years ago when I started in the elevator so when we see all the changes going on around us I guess it is only right that there should be changes in the grain business. What with all the changes made, if someone ever were to ask me “Would you do it again?” I just might say yes.

The Royal Alexandra Hotel has 450 rooms inspired with the city’s luxurious lifestyle. In fact, the hotel even satisfied the exquisite taste of King Edward VIII as he spent few days in the hotel. Moreover, all the top players that appeared at Pantages or the Orpheum Theatre stayed at the Royal Alex. For years, the Royal Alex played the role of the social centre of Winnipeg with a huge rotunda and roomy dining rooms. Murals told the story for Manitoba and the Royal suite rented for $1,000 a night.
