Time surely flies when we are having fun getting prepared for the show. I would like to thank all the members who participated in the show whether it was helping to plan the car show, showing your car, volunteering with ticket sales or whatever. Without your help it would be impossible to do such an event. Congratulations to all the trophy winners. It is very difficult to choose from such beautiful classic automobiles. According to the list of activities and events in the calendar it seems we will have a very busy season. We suggest you refer to the calendar for events that will interest you. Of special note is a show and shine on July 1 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 1 for our veterans. A large attendance will show our thanks to all the veterans from past and present for the sacrifice they made for us. There will be information in the newsletter pertaining to this. Our car club plans to visit the A&W on Cunard Crescent, in Donavans on a regular basis every second Thursday night. Owner, Scott Bartlett, promises to make our visits interesting and will give the club a percentage for A&W catalogue merchandise purchased. Please remember cruising and socializing is what our club is all about so get out and meet up with the members and enjoy our short cruising season. Until next edition...see you somewhere on the road.

Slightly over 2500 people attended Bay Wheels 2008 from all over the Province. The show had a beautiful selection of street cars, hot rods and, of course, the traditional antiques. A great BBQ was held on Saturday night at the old Orange Lodge….the old wooden floor was really moving. It was Warren and Delores Puddester’s 40 th . wedding anniversary. Their family and wedding party attended and we had a beautiful anniversary cake. Warren’s old girlfriend (Gert) made a special appearance! She was on break from the fish plant and really wanted to see Warren and her other old boyfriend, Bob Ford. It was hilarious! Over $800.00 was raised from the auction for the Cupids Museum and a big thank you from museum curator, Linda Kane. The show had 48 cars on the floor and then another 30 cars in the outside corral on Sunday afternoon. The weather was great as well. The Lodge presented Nathan Chaulk with his specially-built bike and it was wonderful to see his mom help him get out of his wheelchair and onto his bike. Then he pedaled it away. Award winners: Long Distance Doug Parr, Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Minutes of the January 9 th . meeting were read by Jack Hill. The minutes were adopted on a motion from Ed Farrell, Sr. and seconded by Ron Snow. Social Events Update Cindy Howlett informed attendees that the roast beef dinner and dance is scheduled for February 23 at the Royal Canadian Legion and tickets are still available. A Chinese supper is tentatively planned for March 15 at the Emerald Palace, Kenmount Road. The annual pin presentation will be made at the April 9 th . meeting with a social to follow. Sick Committee Richard reported on several illnesses with members and their families. Reg Skinner underwent knee replacement surgery and is doing much better. Regrettably, Richard also reported on the passing of Harold Akerman’s sister, Sean Butler’s father, and Eileen Dwyer’s brother. Condolences expressed on behalf of NACCC. New Business Jack informed attendees that 2 applications have been received for the scholarship fund. These have been passed along to the Committee for review. A decision on the recipient is expected by the March meeting. National News Bob Ford was asked for an update on national association news. He spoke to the leaded fuels issue and discount cards from Marks Work Warehouse. Hopefully discounts for Marks will be expanded in the future. The national association is also trying to arrange a discount agreement with Canadian Tire. A card similar to a credit card is being considered for the future. Bob informed attendees of the National Cross Country Tour for 2010. The tour is limited at 100 cars/couples. Mr. Fraser Field can be contacted if you are interested participating. There was discussion for NACCC to strike a committee to help organize the tour and perhaps have a social _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Newfoundland Antique & Classic Car Club 5 or dinner before participants leave St. John’s. Jack asked if there would be a cost to NACCC but Bob’s response was that participants are willing to pay for their own banquet. Debbie Constantine questioned if NACCC had paid for a banquet in 2000 for participants of a tour. Bob said that in 1992 NACCC paid for a portion of the expenses. Jack says we have 2 years to consider how NACCC could become involved in the 2010 tour. Joe Doyle asked if NACCC had received any help from the Department of Tourism. Tom Hollett thought it might be a good idea if NACCC were to pay for the music and maybe have drink tickets available to the participants.

  • ARCHIVES and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS QUEEN ELIZABETH II LIBRARY MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY, ST
    ARCHIVES and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS QUEEN ELIZABETH II LIBRARY MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY, ST. JOHN'S, NL Mary Schwall Photograph Collection COLL-206 Website: Archives and Special Collections Author: Bert Riggs Date: 1996 Scope and Content: This collection consists of 135 photographs taken by Mary Schwall or her companions while on excursions to Newfoundland during 1913 and 1915. They are a pictorial record of a journey by ship from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, a train trip from Channel to St. John's, and a trip from St. John's north around the coast to St. Anthony, across the Strait of Belle Isle to Labrador and down the west coast of the Great Northern Peninsula. There is evidence that the photographs were taken during two trips to Newfoundland, as two photographs have the date 1913 on the back with the caption, while another has the date 1915. The photographs provide visual documentation of Mary Schwall's vacations, but they also provide valuable information on Newfoundland communities during the early years of the twentieth century. Vernacular architecture historians have attested to the fact that several of the photographs show buildings only previously known through oral accounts. As well there is visual documentation of people, especially children, which can provide information on lifestyle, dress, nutrition, disease, and a host of other subjects.In addition, there are 56 postcards with images covering much the same geographical area as the photographs, leading one to believe that they were purchased in larger communities during stopovers, or possibly in St. John's. Most of the postcards were produced for the St.

    Volume 19 Issue 6 June 1, 2019 The 1958 - 1960 Lincolns, Interesting Automobiles A totally different Lincoln from the ones who came before it. Experiencing a shortage of articles from our members, we went back into the archives of Continental Comments for an interesting article; which you might enjoy. Lincoln models 1958 through 1960 were both interesting from a mechanical and stylistic standpoint. A lot of folks were not quite sure if the new look of these models was something that they would really like over a period of time. Compared to the 1956 and 1957 models, they really were quite different. Boxier and somewhat larger by most measurements. Now some 60 years later, they are sort of coming into their own. Nice examples will bring a lot of money today, especially if they are convertibles. We have several of these models owned by North Star club members, and they do speak quite highly of them. This article was written by Tim Howley and appeared in the July August 2002 issue of Conti- nental Comments. It is an interesting story, and it looks at these models in a fairly object fashion. Welcome to the We hope you enjoy reading it. Northstar News, the The late Fifties is a fascinating era in automobile styling. It produced the ultimate in ba- roque automobile architecture, especially in the biggest American cars. We think of the 1959 monthly publication of Cadillac and 1957-59 Imperial as being the most interesting examples. But when you set the Northstar Region them alongside the 1958 Lincoln, and to a degree the 1959 and 1960 versions, they don't even of the Lincoln and begin to compare in terms of uniqueness of design.

Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 41, 2012 1 The Seventeenth-Century Brewhouse and Bakery at Ferryland, Newfoundland Arthur R. Clausnitzer, Jr. and Barry C. Gaulton In 2001 archaeologists working at the 17th-century English settlement at Ferryland, Newfoundland, uncovered evidence of an early structure beneath a mid-to-late century gentry dwelling. A preliminary analysis of the architectural features and material culture from related deposits tentatively identified the structure as a brewhouse and bakery, likely the same “brewhouse room” mentioned in a 1622 letter from the colony. Further analysis of this material in 2010 confirmed the identification and dating of this structure. Comparison of the Ferryland brewhouse to data from both documentary and archaeological sources revealed some unusual features. When analyzed within the context of the original Calvert period settlement, these features provide additional evidence for the interpretation of the initial settlement at Ferryland not as a corporate colony such as Jamestown or Cupids, but as a small country manor home for George Calvert and his family.

  • 'A Large House on the Downs': Household Archaeology
    ‘A LARGE HOUSE ON THE DOWNS’: HOUSEHOLD ARCHAEOLOGY AND MIDDLE-CLASS GENTILITY IN EARLY 19TH-CENTURY FERRYLAND, NEWFOUNDLAND by © Duncan Williams A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland February 2019 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ii ABSTRACT This thesis uses a household-based archaeological approach to examine changing settlement patterns and lifeways associated with a period of crucial change on Newfoundland’s southern Avalon Peninsula – namely the first half of the 19th century. The period witnessed a significant increase in permanent residents (including a large influx of Irish Catholic immigrants), the downfall of the migratory fishery (and resulting shift to a family-based resident fishery), and radical political/governmental changes associated with increased colonial autonomy. As part of these developments, a new middle class emerged composed mainly of prosperous fishermen and individuals involved in local government. A micro-historical approach is used to analyze a single household assemblage in Ferryland, thus shedding light on the development of a resident ‘outport gentry’ and changing use of the landscape in this important rural centre. Though likely initially built by a member of Ferryland’s elite (Vice-Admiralty Judge William Carter), the major occupation of the structure, as seen archaeologically, appears to be represented by the tenancies of two upper middle-class families. Comparative analysis places this household and its social landscape in the broader community of Ferryland, as well as emergent upper middle-class society in North America. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes much to many individuals and organizations, and it will be difficult to properly acknowledge them all in the space of a couple pages.
