    69 Books in Review / Comptes rendus continued in the next chapter, which looks at the federal government's imposition of print culture on Aboriginal people in the first 25 years of the twentieth century. Yet, Edwards shows that in many cases the Department of Indian Affairs only began using books and libraries as assimilative agents after Aboriginal people, such as Charles A. Cooke, requested them. The fourth chapter examines community development, philanthropy, and educational neglect from 193o to 1960, concluding with a description of the efforts of Angus McGill Mowat, former head of Public Libraries Branch of the Ontario Department of Education, to establish a large public library at Moose Factory for the Cree and Ojibwa living there. Paper Talk· provides a cohesive and richly detailed narrative that outlines general patterns among Aboriginal people combined with illustrations of specific examples in local contexts. Edwards balances solid primary research with careful integration of published works in the field. The book will be of interest to scholars of both Aboriginal peoples and the history of the book.

  • South Ottawa Roads, Playgrounds, Pathways, Studies, Real Estate Tapped for 2017 Cash South Ottawa Projects in 2017 Budget
    South Ottawa roads, playgrounds, pathways, studies, real estate tapped for 2017 cash South Ottawa projects in 2017 budget Ottawa South News Dec 29, 2016 By Erin McCracken Dozens of projects in Ottawa’s southern wards have been tapped to receive 2017 budget dollars. Here’s a breakdown, ward by ward: Capital Ward Residents who live in or frequent the Billings Bridge and Heron Park neighbourhoods of Capital Ward can count on the addition of a new red light camera at Bank Street and Riverside Drive in the coming months. It’s just one of a number of items for that part of the ward that are included in the city’s 2017 budget. The design of a new pathway will be completed in 2017 to allow users of the Rideau River Eastern Pathway to walk or cycle under the south side of Billings Bridge at Bank Street and Riverside Drive. Construction is scheduled for 2018 and the cost is being shared with the National Capital Commission. “That means people going east-west along that multi-use pathway won’t have to come up and cross Bank Street anymore,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “It is safer, removes a number of movements, and there will be fewer people for drivers to keep an eye on.” inReadThat will complement plans to begin work on sections of the Rideau River Western Pathway in nearby Old Ottawa South, he said, adding that currently is a patchwork of trails to the University of Ottawa and on to Sandy Hill. Faircrest Heights, Alta Vista, Billings Bridge and Heron Park residents can also look forward to construction beginning on the Rideau Canal footbridge that will link Fifth Avenue in the Glebe with Clegg Street in Old Ottawa East.

  • A Visit to Whitby, Ontario Last Home of Leslie Mcfarlane by David Baumann 571 Words
    A Visit to Whitby, Ontario Last Home of Leslie McFarlane by David Baumann 571 words Although I live in southern California, I spent this past week in Ontario, Canada for a conference in Windsor. Having the opportunity, I went two days early to see the countryside. On Wednesday, I suddenly realized that I was about twenty miles from Whitby, a relatively small town east of Toronto, and remembered that this was where Leslie McFarlane spent his last years and where he died in early September 1977. I decided to go there and discover what I could. First I called the general information number for Whitby to learn where he was buried. The helpful person on the end of the line referred me to an old-timer who runs the archives, but he was on vacation. A second referral sent me to the public library. Another helpful person looked up the records and told me that McFarlane was buried from the Town Funeral Home. When I pulled into Whitby, it was easy to find the funeral home where two gentlemen went out of their way to pull up their old, pre-computer records. A thick folder with the name LESLIE McFARLANE came out of a stack of others from 1977. Inside were not only the records of the arrangements but also about ten single-spaced typewritten pages that were a summary of an interview with McFarlane that had taken place shortly before he died. It contains a huge amount of information about the Hardy Boys. It was not indicated who had done the interview or for what purpose.

Geographic comments regarding ward boundaries and communities, and quantifiable comments regarding ward populations and number of wards have been incorporated into the design of the five options for re- aligning Ottawa’s wards. The comments below are organized as follows: A. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Online Survey, Public Meetings and Online Submissions · General (Urban Wards; Suburban Wards; Rural Wards); · Specific Wards (Urban; Suburban; Rural); · Number of Wards/Ward Populations; and · Governance. B. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Members of Council · General; · Urban Wards; · Suburban Wards; · Rural Wards; · Ward Populations; · Number of Wards; · Approach to OWBR 2020; and · Office Resources. The number in brackets at the end of some comments refers to the number of times the suggestion was mentioned. A. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Online Survey, Public Meetings and Online Submissions General · Three issues: 1. We have too many Councillors for the City of Ottawa with an average of 41,907/ward - compared to average population/ward in Vancouver of 63,000, Calgary of 87,000, Montreal of 90,000 and Toronto of 109,000. Yet our Councillors have similar compensation as these other cities. 2. The Urban (inside Greenbelt) Wards currently have 12 Councillors with Rural Councillors at 11.

  • A Last Talk with Leslie Mcfarlane
    A Last Talk with Leslie McFarlane DA VID PALMER L eslie McFarlane, one of the world's most popular children's authors and a prolific contributor to Canadian popular culture, died on September 6th, 1977, in Whitby, Ontario. Born at Carleton Place, Ontario, in 1902, he worked as a reporter for several newspapers in Ontario and Massachusetts, and from the twenties to the forties contributed hundreds of stories and serials to the "better pulps" and "sn~ooth-paper magazines" (as Maclean's explained in 1940) in Canada, the U.S.A. and Great Britain. In this period he also published two novels, and under various pseudonyms wrote numerous children's adventure books for the Stratemeyer Syndicate of New Jersey (home of the Bobbsey Twins), including the first Hardy Boys books. In the late thirties and forties he wrote dozens of radio plays, and in 1944, after two years with the Department of Munitions and Supply, he was invited by John Grierson to join the National Film Board. During the next fourteen years he wrote, produced or directed (often all three) twenty- eight documentary fbs, winning several awards and an Oscar nomination. In 1958 he became head of the television drama script department at the CBC and wrote many television plays for that and other networks. He continued to produce occasional books (and revisions of earlier works) for children, and some of these later writings are reviewed elsewhere in this issue of CCL. Ironically, in view of this enormous output, McFarlane is probably best known now as the original Franklin W.

  • Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M
    Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M. Baumann This article first appeared in The Mystery and Adventure Series Review #43, summer 2010 Books As Time Machines It was more than half a century ago that I learned how to type. My parents had a Smith-Corona typewriter—manual, of course—that I used to write letters to my cousins. A few years later I took a “typing class” in junior high. Students were encouraged to practice “touch typing” and to aim for a high number of “words per minute”. There were distinctive sounds associated with typing that I can still hear in my memory. I remember the firm and rapid tap of the keys, much more “solid” than the soft burr of computer “keyboarding”. A tiny bell rang to warn me that the end of the line was coming; I would finish the word or insert a hyphen, and then move the platen from left to right with a quick whirring ratchet of motion. Frequently there was the sound of a sheet of paper being pulled out of the machine, either with a rip of frustration accompanied by an impatient crumple and toss, or a careful tug followed by setting the completed page aside; then another sheet was inserted with the roll of the platen until the paper was deftly positioned. Now and then I had to replace a spool of inked ribbon and clean the keys with an old toothbrush. Musing on these nearly vanished sounds, I put myself in the place of the writers of our series books, nearly all of whom surely wrote with typewriters.

Two of the boolts contain a single narrative, whde the rest are collections of stories. All are stories cither of northern adventure or of hockey, set in a world that has since considerably changed: a far north of trappers and dog-sleds, prospectors and crude mining towns, of law and order tenuously maintained against violence and skul- duggery; a hockey scene without big money or television, physically raw, and pervaded by desperate local loyalties. But these remain classic examples of tales that are both highly interesting to pre-lugh school clddren and yet easy going for most reluctant readers. Adventure stories of any kind tend to be set in worlds of our collec- tive imagination rather than in those to which we have more direct access.
