Reports from Te

Canada Day was celebrated
during the days of yesteryear.
The Terrace News July 8, 1936
headline reads: Dominion Day
Sports Terrace for Youngsters.
For a number of years past, the
local lodge of the Native Sons of
Canada have claimed Dominion
Day as theirs, and each year have
put on a program of sports. This
year, for some unannounced
reason, this plan was dropped and
the young folk of the district
started July 1st with nothing in
the way of organized activity in
front of them. At noon, Bill
Johnston and Bill Holt arrived
from their Williams Creek homes,
prepared to watch the games.
They found the town closed in a
Sabbath hush. They looked at
each other and began to wonder
if they had missed marking a few
days off their calendars, or if
they’d slept the clock around a
few times.

When they started to ask a few
questions, they found they had
the day right. The only thing
missing was an afternoon of
sports they had expected to sec.
Then they met Tommy Turner
and turned the heat on him, With
old-style army vigour, Bill
Johnston went after his old-time
army comrade, and told him a
few things about the lack of
community spirit. A little later,
they connected with Village
Commissioner Emil Haugland.
He too, heard all about it. Having
got a head of steam under the
boiler, they party set out to sce
what could be done.

Two hours after the boys
arrived in town, they had
collected enough money to pay
off the regular price list. They
had secured the aid of Rev.
Adam Crisp as starter and general
helper. From then on "til supper
lime, the younger generation had
a lively time with races, soft ball,

~ {ce cream, popcom and pop

bought with the winnings.
Dominion Day 1937 was a real
winner. The Terrace News of
July 7, 1937 reads: Dominion
Day provided a lull in the wet

4. weather, and furnished an ideal

AS THINGS ONCE WERE

rrace’s Heritage Park

climate for the big trainload of
visitors who came up from Prince
Rupert, The excursion polled in
from the coast at about 11:20 in
the morning bringing about 300
holiday makers. Terrace was out
in force to greet the crowd. Local
taxi firms had made special
provisions for trips to Lakelse
Lake. Others revelling in dry
ground under foot, made trips
into the country and saw
something of how fruits and
vegetables are produced.

The afternoon was filled with a
big sports program. The main
feature was a ball game between
Usk and Terrace. The tug-o-war
between giant fisherman and
brawny farmers was exciting. The
seafarers however, did not feel at
home on dry land and the farmers
pulled them over the line to win
a bottle of bath salts. The day
was under the direction of the
Native Sons of Canada.

At 8 o'clock in the evening a
dance was to be held in the .
Orange Hall. The train was
scheduled to leave at that hour,
but a general appeal was made to
P. Lakie, freight and passenger
agent of the C.N.R. An extension
of two hours was given to allow
the visitors to take part in the
frolic, All and all, it was a good
day.

The Terrace News July 6, 1938,
Dominion Day was ideal for the
400 visitors who came up from
Prince Rupert. The sky was
flawless and a light breeze helped
to temper the air for the folks
from the coast. When the
excursion arrived at 11 in the
morning, the ladies shed summer
coats, and did not claim them
again until they were ready to
leave at 10:30 at night. The
Prince Rupert ball team came up
with full expectations of taking
the Hanson Cup down to the
coast, but the local players had
their own ideas on that matter.

The first inning was a ding-dong
battle with Tommy Turner 3rd,
doing the pitching for the local
team. When that ended the score
was 7 to 7 atid Charlie Cauthers
took over for the next two

innings. Rupert got one run, but
Terrace took two and help the
cup for another year. The dance
at night was largely patronized.
Mrs. Black of Prince Rupert,
together with Kenney Rood,
augmented the local talent.
Daylight had fully come on
Saturday morning when the
entertainment ended. It was a

great day.

The Terrace News, July 5, 1939
reports: Dominion Day happily
spent about Terrace. Almost at
the stroke of 11, the whistle of
the Prince Rupert excursion train
was heard in the west. A few
minutes later the train pulled into
the station with the Boys Band
playing from the rear platform. a
The band led a big crowd down ‘=
to the ball park, The outstanding
event was the baseball game
between two teams of Terrace
oldtimers. The game was full of
interest but the highlight was
perhaps when Fred Nash went to
bat with comrades on all three t
bags. Fred was there like a duck. ot
He hit that ball a wallop. That
brought all three men in and Fred
made the grade, too. That was
BIG TIME stuff and he is to be
barred.

This is AS WE ONCE WERE
some fifty-plus years ago!
