That was a long trek past Atton's Lake, through the community pasture, and even further. There is only a foundation left to mark the spot.

The woodbox would need to be filled from a large woodpile. The stove needed to be started to heat water and the sad irons. Before the invention of a wooden iron handle, the metal handles were wrapped. There were lots of burns anyway. The term 'household chores' were really chores back then, but necessary ones. It took a lot of labour to keep a household running. Sally, you were an important part of early homes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534579378723575886.post-58452017332882071802007-11-04T12:36:00.000-06:002007-11-04T12:36:00.000-06:00Thanks to the committee who went ahead with the pu...Thanks to the committee who went ahead with the publishing of the two booklets....Prairie Christmas, One Room Schools......I wish now that I would have submitted a story....Perhaps we can in the future have a sequel.......Your hard work has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.....definitely jewels in the museums crown.<BR/><BR/>Gale StonehouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534579378723575886.post-57256279286306104352007-09-23T05:43:00.000-06:002007-09-23T05:43:00.000-06:00Great Website!

As a recent immigrant to this great little town, the Museum has been a source of learning about our heritage (I consider it mine too, because I'm here to stay!)and also a place to spend a quiet afternoon with friendly people who are more than happy to give further information about whatever you ask. Here's hoping the website attracts many more people to the museum and the town - some, like me, end up staying!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534579378723575886.post-54376896488560255102007-09-14T14:26:00.000-06:002007-09-14T14:26:00.000-06:00It is no surprise to see Premier Calvert in rural ...It is no surprise to see Premier Calvert in rural Saskatchewan and to see him at a rural Saskatchewan museum as well. Museums across the whole world play a pivotal role in community development. It is through museums that we have the opportunity to hone our critical thinking skills. It is through museums that we take our opinions and thoughts and express them in a democratic visual dialogue. Museums should never be thought of as being shrines of the past or anything that stays the same. Museums are places that generate fresh ideas and revitalize our spirits. As we see more people returning to rural Saskatchewan for reasons of well-being and quality of life, we see the museum footprints changing to reflect this new cultural heritage. As each generation passes the torch, there is a new reflective vision on both our past and our future. Old notions are chanllenged in order to lay the groundwork for future insights. Congratulations CMMM for creating an exhibit that is so very relevant to your particular community. And congratulations for bringing it to the world's attention. The cultural heritage of Saskatchewan, in all of its diversity, is indeed something to be big visioned about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534579378723575886.post-59148697647763528382007-08-01T21:03:00.000-06:002007-08-01T21:03:00.000-06:00This has been identified as a film projector bulb ...This has been identified as a film projector bulb and housing by someone at the Western Development Museum.<BR/>This is what D. Klatt wrote:<BR/> <BR/>The bulb part is easiest to recognize. The round curved piece of glass inside the box is either a rear reflector, or it is a convergence lens if it is between the bulb and the larger opening when the box housing is closed. I can't tell from the photo if I'm looking at the back side of the bulb or the front side. On the outside of the front of the box you can see a round metal cover with a small square hole in the center. This is a light mask and, while in use, is flipped to cover the larger opening. Behind the opening you can see a convergence lens - this may be the same one seen in the open box of the first photo. Finally, there is the secondary convergence lens which flips in front of the square mask opening to assist directing the light intended to pass through the film. The size of the mask opening should be very near to the size of the film frame. By measuring this, you would be able to determine the size of the film intended to be used with this projector bulb assembly. There is no measuring reference alongside the object, so I'm unsure of the scale. My best guess would be a 35mm film format but if I'm misinterpreting the size, it could be 16mm.<BR/> <BR/>By the way, while in use this thing would generate substantial amounts of heat. The mottled gray lining material probably is a hard formulation of asbestos. This usually is not considered environmentally hazardous unless someone scratches or otherwise disturbs it, or if parts of it are flaking off.Our museumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097652724649590070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534579378723575886.post-40588799343059730182007-08-01T13:25:00.000-06:002007-08-01T13:25:00.000-06:00Hi, I love the picture of the horses at the cardlo...Hi, I love the picture of the horses at the cardlock.
