New Week End Jaunts Marks Car Arrival Milestone
The community recalls the arrival of the first automobile about 40 years ago. Residents recall riding in the horseless carriage with brass ornaments and quick trips to the river. Horse and buggy and bicycle continued to be used for long after, with trips to Winnipeg and Edmonton noted as remarkable journeys.
Travel speeds change lives and lift distances
The piece reflects on how vehicles and air travel transformed life over forty years, shrinking distances from Winnipeg to Ontario and across Manitoba. It notes farmers in Saskatchewan keeping planes at home, US private operators by day and garage operators by night, and laments a loss of community spirit as rapid travel becomes normal. It predicts travel zeal will persist while urging reader support for local newspapers.
