THE OLD TIMERS' DANCE OF 1886 wrapped up in blankets, a bale of which had been loaned by the I.G.. Baker store. This was when the By James Stanley Kirkham expression, we presume, "coming home under wraps" was coined. The Medicine Hat people were thankful for the blankets—and even if the cold did nip them they were young people going home from a dance even if it was 100 miles or more and a full day's trip. We'll make the guess there wasn't a wet blanket in the bunch. That was 40 years ago. New Year's Day, and You and I were young, Maggiel So many an old timer will say when he reads the list of the committee who were in charge and realizes that at least five of the ten have died (D). Howard F. Greenwood, now of Edmonton, was chairman. Elias T. (Si) Saunders, editor of the News, was sec­ retary. The balance of the committee were Thomas Botterill (D), J.H. Cavanah (D), E. Walton (D), J. Curry, now of Battleford (his nickname was "Dude" Curry), Harry Bentley (D), J.D. Higinbotham, Tom Ptolimy and F. Stapl. ';.iMi:j.;:.- One of the young ladies present was Miss Kean, who afterwards became Mrs. E.T. Saunders. The writer has tried to get a list of as many of those present as possible, but it is a long time, 40 years, a long, long time to send memory with any definiteness as we soon realized after asking one old timer after another and seeing them furrow their brows and try to think back but in the end having to s hake their heads and say, Weill I'm not sure!

History records that it was built to cre- ate Canada, to knit the country together from coast to coast, well, initially at the Pacific coast, at any rate. For the details of this enormous engineering feat, with all its monumental challenges, epic sacrifices, searing social history, hardboiled eco- nomics, larger-than-life players, machiavellian cross-border manoeuvres, riveting political intrigues and scandals, the reader is advised to delve into a short list of fascinating further reading: The story of corporate CPR, its leadership and its mainline: Berton, Pierre: The National Dream, McClelland & Stewart, Toronto, Ont. 1970 Berton, Pierre: The Last Spike, McClelland & Stewart, Toronto, Ont. 1970 Chodos, Robert: The CPR, A Century of Corporate Welfare, James Lewis & Samuel, Toronto, Ont. 1973 Cruise, David & Griffiths, Alison: Lords of the Line, Viking Penguin Books, Markham, Ont. 1988 Green, Lorne: Chief Engineer, Dundurn Press, Toronto, Ont. 1993 Knowles, Valerie: From Telegrapher to Titan, the Life of William C.
