Oshawa-George-W-Mclaughlin-Mack
st A 1915 picture of 1 Oshawa now 23 year old Scoutmaster, Samuel George W. McLaughlin 1869-1942 Edward Mack Soanes (Showing 6 years of Scout Leader Service and Military Hospital Attendant/Stretcher Bearer award-crest). George William McLaughlin, born 17 Feb 1869, and the older brother of Robert Samuel (born September 8, 1871) and the Vice President and Sales Manager of the 1907 McLaughlin Motor Works, Oshawa the forerunner of General Motors; (when his younger brother Robert was President and later of the 1919 General Motors Canada) until George retired in 1924 to return to his family’s farm. George McLaughlin donated the Athol Street Scout Hall building in 1942 and a Cabin Camp for the 7th Oshawa Scout Troop. This 7th Oshawa cabin was built on the Nesbit farm, on the east side of Ritson Road. The George McLaughlin farm was one concession south at 261Simoce St, Oshawa. George William McLaughlin died on 10 October 1942 and is interred in the Oshawa Union Cemetery so he never saw his 7th Oshawa Scout Camp Donation completed in 1943. Samuel Edward Mack Soanes was born on June 15, 1892 in Lindsay, Ontario. The 1St Oshawa Scout Group was founded in 1909 just two years after the birth of the Scouting movement in England by Lt. General Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell. Mack Soanes was the Secretary and later Treasurer of the Oshawa YMCA and the first Scoutmaster of this 1st Oshawa Scout Group. George McLaughlin was also the Secretary and Treasurer of the McLaughlin Motor Works and the Assistant Scoutmaster of this 1909 Scout Group (actually George McLaughlin would have been the Scoutmaster and Mack Soanes the Assistant because Mack was only 17 years old in 1909).In later years, in the 1920’s Mack Soanes was the Post Master of the Indian River Post Office.

RE-IMAGINING YUGOSLAVIA Learning and Living with Diverse Cultural Identities
RE-IMAGINING YUGOSLAVIA Learning and Living with Diverse Cultural Identities by Radoslav Draskovic A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto ©Copyright by Radoslav Draskovic 2010. RE-IMAGINING YUGOSLAVIA Learning and Living with Diverse Cultural Identities Radoslav Draskovic Master of Arts, 2010 Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract of Thesis: This thesis uses the example of Yugoslavia-the land of the South Slavs (also known as the Balkans) - to study how the twists and turns of historical evolution have been reflected in communal understanding of that history. Key words: imagined communities, nation-state, historical memory, the study of history. ii Acknowledgments: The great Mahatma Gandhi once said: “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it”. I found that this sentence appropriately describes every human endeavor including the road I have chosen for the last three years of my life. This thesis marks the conclusion of a deeply personal journey as well as a great learning experience that I had at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at University of Toronto At the end of this trip, before anyone else, I would like to thank my professors Harold Troper and David Levine who have taught me a great deal during the course of my studies, with their views, knowledge and advice. I am especially grateful to my mentor, Professor David Levine, for his intellectual guidance, patience and understanding of all the challenges that I met during the course of my study and while writing this thesis.
