Such a unit , fully con tro llable from the cab, had to be capable of sanding and ploughing as well as retaining its original fu nctio n as a dump truck. By 1960, Langford was in production of hydraulic systems, underbody ploughs and tailgate sanders. The basic hydraulic system has been improved during the intervening years but it still uses the same components. Improvements in design and function have developed the unde rbody plough and pres ent L. E. Croft demand is for a plough for each new unit. Changes Art Cook have also been made through the years to the tail gat e sander , which now is widel y used in salt delivery. However, the ori ginal design was sound and, the quality and durability of the sanders proven. The or iginal sanders produced in 1960 are still performing from Langford to 100 Mile Hou se. Over 700 sanders have been produced as well as hundreds of underbody ploughs and hydraul ic systems. Langford fabrication sho p has been the chief manufacturing centre over the years. The hydraulic systems, underbody ploughs, and front-plough mou nts for all new units are fabricated and, excep t fo r the tandem truc ks, are ship ped out fo r installation. Each tandem unit has a front-plough mount, an underbody plough , and a hydraulic system tailor made and installed in the fab ricat ion sho p.

  • The Conquest of the Great Northwest Piled Criss-Cross Below Higher Than
    The Conquest of the Great Northwest festooned by a mist-like moss that hung from tree to tree in loops, with the windfall of untold centuries piled criss-cross below higher than a house. The men grumbled.They had not bargained on this kind of voyaging. Once down on the west side of the Great Divide, there were the Forks.MacKenzie's instincts told him the northbranch looked the better way, but the old guide had said only the south branch would lead to the Great River beyond the mountains, and they turned up Parsnip River through a marsh of beaver meadows, which MacKenzie noted for future trade. It was now the 3rd of June.MacKenzie ascended a. mountain to look along the forward path. When he came down with McKay and the Indian Cancre, no canoe was to be found.MacKenzie sent broken branches drifting down stream as a signal and fired gunshot after gunshot, but no answer!Had the men deserted with boat and provisions?Genuinely alarmed, MacKenzie ordered McKay and Cancre back down the Parsnip, while he went on up stream. Whichever found the canoe was to fire a gun.For a day without food and in drenching rains, the three tore through the underbrush shouting, seeking, despairing till strength vas ethausted and moccasins worn to tattersBarefoot and soaked, MacKenzie was just lying down for the night when a crashing 64 "The Coming of the Pedlars" echo told him McKay had found the deserters. They had waited till he had disappeared up the mountain, then headed the canoe north and drifted down stream.

Actually, the dramatic increases in modern Canada, 1900-1950, only reflect what has been going on for the past year in the open market. Shortly after the 1970 cata­ logues were released many of the Cana­ dian prices for this period became obsolete. like most dealers, we have had our problems trying to keep our stocks up. However, in most cases we have man­ aged to "roll with the punches" and find replacement stock somewhere, but rarely at the same price as the previous purchase! Whether values tend to level off or up­ ward pressures continue through 1971 , we will continue to do our best to keep up our stocks of the broadest pos­ sible variety of good quality Canadian stamps.

  • GR-0461 British Columbia Department of Education Teachers’ Bureau Records Originals 1923, 1928 13 Cm
    GR-0461 British Columbia Department of Education Teachers’ Bureau Records Originals 1923, 1928 13 cm The Teachers' Bureau was established by the Department of Education in 1920 and was administered by the Department's Registrar, J.L. Watson. The Bureau functioned as a kind of employment exchange by acquainting unemployed teachers with vacancies in rural school districts, and by providing rural school boards with the names of suitable candidates. In 1922/1923, the bureau received notices of approximately three hundred vacancies from rural school districts, two hundred of which were filled by applicants who had been recommended by the bureau. Watson's office also functioned as a information bureau, by providing applicants with details about country schooled districts and, generally, by gathering information on the province's many small rural and assisted schools. To this end, the bureau circulated the School District Information Forms which constitute GR-0461. The questionnaires were distributed to rural school teachers in 1923 and again in 1928. There is no record of similar forms being sent in other years. Not every rural and assisted schooled is represented in this collection. In the year ending June 1923, there were 684 rural and assisted schools in British Columbia; only 651 schools are represented for 1923 in this collection. Likewise, 728 rural and assisted schools were open in the year ending June 1928, while only 711 questionnaires are on record here. Some questionnaires are accompanied by attached photograph(s) of the school, indicated by an asterisk * in the following list. Loose photographs were removed and transferred to Visual Records accession 198405-001.
