Maples On Derided Roads And A Town Reminiscence
A heavy snow fell Monday night shaping country roads and delaying travel with a hopeful note it may be the last snow of the year. Roy Stone of Beaver torn down and modernized his old home uncovering Polish money and an auditor’s report for Portage la Prairie from 1896. The piece recalls rink winters of 1927, lamp mantles, a small cold waiting room, and the MacGregor Band. Skeletons for medical teaching face shortages, a London firm unseals a plastic 206 bone replica. An Irishman and Yank duck market joke, Tivoli Theatre heating upgrades, R W Cobbe & Son enlarging their hardware, and sidewalk improvements to the bus depot.
