AB (403) 381-1617 ! ! !PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Somehow the weather does not seem conducive to putting together a report for the current issue of our newsletter, but editor Bernie says now or never. The weather extremes of late, the storm in North Battleford last weekend, and its sister storm in Regina and White City, the !heat of today all go together to really show us that August is here. We used this morning, windless until about 10:00, to paint a couple of implements that our man Roger has had primed and ready to go for about a month now. Newly coloured are a IH side delivery rake, I think a # 15, and an IH wagon, I also think a # 30, about the first one with timken bearings. The rake, purchased about 5 years ago, has very few original teeth that are any good, and I was able to purchase an acceptable replacement locally for about $1.30 each, just half the price of Tractor Supply in the US. This machine along with the R 150 we had at the show last weekend have both been neglected for the past five years, so it was definitely time to get them restored and on the road again. Now I feel like I am only 4 years behind, !more “stuff” just keeps showing up in the yard so I don’t know if I will ever catch up. Thank you to Gerald Haight for committing to two terms as a director of Ch 38 and considering his option to be free from board duties at the annual meeting last weekend. Gerald, always helpful and a good sounding board has a record as a good director and we wish him well in any future tasks he may entertain. I am sure we will still see him at some of the shows. Congratulations to board volunteer from Tessier, Sask., Blair Leonard, who steps forward to fill a three year term on the Ch 38 board. I first met Blair at one of the past shows, but had a better chance to visit and find out what he has for a collection this summer at RPRU in Huron, SD. Blair and his wife were dinner attendants at one or more of the suppers that Barb Bender !put together at RPRU in June. And while we are talking RPRU I certainly want to thank all who attended from Ch 38. We did have a respectable attendance by our members at that show and if we could, we would like to thank the SD chapter for hosting such a well run show. The city of Huron also deserves recognition as their local businesses were active in welcoming us to Huron with many retails having an IH tractor in front of their place of business. Nice to see the local support, it tells !us quite a bit about the community. I would like to thank the organizers of our show in North Battleford as well as the staff at the WDM for the assistance we received whenever we were in need and to our club members who recovered our merchandise after the storm on Friday night. Not very much was lost due to the efforts of Secretary, Marty purchasing some rain insurance in the form of a couple of tarps to protect our stuff as much as possible on Friday afternoon. Gary and Sharon Algot have again provided us with a dazzling display of making everyone feel welcome especially in the camping area, with help from Warren and Marjie. We do have to make sure in the future that at least one bigger tractor is brought to the show to pull some of these rigs out. I don’t know how many trucks and trailers got stuck, me included, last weekend in the trailer storage area, which !became the unload area when trucks and trailers sank in the mud and were unable to move. While I am in the “thank you” mode I would like to thank you the membership for supporting me in my bid to take on another three year position on the board, and to the board who elected me to remain as your president for another three years. This position is very rewarding, with the people I meet, the shows we set up, and the membership who are so willing to accept responsibility and get the job done. One position is still open and that is for someone to take on the responsibility of looking after the memorabilia. Marlene and I have had it for some time now; with the help of members at the show it has continued, but it is time for someone else to take it over. We will help, especially with receiving orders from the US as we can pick them up from our PO Box in Montana. The 10 % surcharge because of our currency devaluation does not help purchase items and have them shipped, but this year we did purchase most of the stock at Red Power Round Up and at more favourable prices than we can get by mail order. If !interested, give us a call and we can help you out. !Until next time keep in mind next years show in Leduc under the capable direction of Bernie Y. !Darald Marin, President Photo of Darald’s grandfather, Cloyd Marin cutting part of the 1928 crop with a 1927 pto IH binder, and a 1925 IH 10-20, followed by my uncle with a 4 horse hitch on an IH ground driven binder. _____________________________________________________________ INVITATION TO ATTEND THE MARIN MUSEUM IN RADVILLE!

August 2014 saw Chapter 38 journey to North Battleford, SK. at the Western Development Museum for our annual show. With great cooperation from the staff of WDM, the show enjoyed a good weekend with warm weather and a bit of Friday night rain. Saturday and Sunday saw a good Red Power parade with commentary from Dave Hilman. Joyce and Cheryl from WDM reported attendance of approximately 1000 on Saturday and 900 on Sunday, which is above normal attendance for that show. As was the case with Pincher Creek and Yorkton, the management expressed a desire to see us back !whenever we can work them into our plans. As those attendees are aware, there was a photographer in our midst. He will make a photo journey of !our weekend at WDM in a coffee table type booklet. More info on this to come. The success of our show is always the presence of our members and their exhibits. Many thanks to you !all who made the effort to bring out your excellent displays. And finally a HUGE thank you to Leon and Kent from NorSask Farm Equipment of North Battleford for !their display of new and antique tractors, and the use a Scout during the show! Gary Algot, Vice President 2014 Show Chairman —————————————————————————————————————————————————- P.S. from Sharon Algot - Coordinator of the Merchandise Table. I wish to thank all of you for your time working the merchandise table. It was certainly appreciated! FROM THE MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY ! My husband and I most recently attended the Chapter 38 IHC Annual Meet in North Battleford, SK at the Western Development Museum and truly enjoyed a wonderful time with members new and old. In June we also attended the Red Power Show in Huron, South Dakota, where we connected with some of CH 38 members, met some IHC members from USA, Netherlands and New Zealand.
