The "Nine Hour Movement," a push for shorter work hours, began in Hamilton, Ontario and quickly spread to Toronto where the printers picked it up. The Printer's Union in Toronto was one of the first in the industrialized world to demand a reduction in work to 58 hours per week, much longer than the standard 40-hour work week of today. Yet, even this cutback was deemed irrational and ridiculous by the owners of the printing shops, most notably George Brown of The Globe. As a result, the union went on strike on March 25, 1872. Mr. Brown and others brought in scab workers and Brown even made the drastic move of suing the Printer's Union, under archaic Canadian union laws, the picketers were arrested and jailed. The short-term effects of this event were catastrophic. Many workers lost their jobs and were forced to leave the city because of financial problems. But the long-term outlook, as we all know, was very positive indeed. After 1872 nearly all unions demanded a 54-hour workweek. Sir John A. Macdonald was a rival of the liberal George Brown and he quickly took the side of the labour unions during the crisis. Macdonald passed a law on June 14, 1872 called the Trade Union Act, which legalized and protected unions; because of this he won the lasting support of the working class. The determination and courage of the Toronto printers was celebrated yearly thereafter with parades. Throughout the 1880s there was constant pressure to make the event official and finally on July 23, 1894 the Tory Government of Sir John Thompson passed a law making Labour Day a national holiday in Canada. The first official Labour Day was christened with a five-kilometre-long parade in Winnipeg. The American Labour Day celebration is attributed to the union organizer Peter J. McGuire, who founded the United Brotherhood of Carpenters in 1881. It is said that McGuire visited Toronto and witnessed a parade in 1882, returned to New York, and then suggested the Central Labor Union hold their own celebration in honour of workers. On September 5 of the same year, 10,000 workers held festivities under the sponsorship of the Knights of Labor, a national labour organization. McGuire said September 5 was picked because it fell between the July 4th long weekend and Thanksgiving. Oregon was the first state to make Labor Day official in 1887. The day was declared a national holiday by U.S. Congress in 1894 after the Pullman Strike, a widespread railroad strike in Illinois. Some countries honour workers on the first of May, a festivity referred to as May Day. Originally, the day celebrated the return of spring in medieval and modem Europe. Where people decorated trees, danced around a Maypole, gathered flowers and crowned a King and Queen during agricultural rituals. These acts were thought to ensure the fertility of future crops. Puritans of New England considered these celebrations to be pagan, so May Day never really caught on in Canada or the United States. May Day was acknowledged in the former Soviet Union. In 1889, the International Soviet Congress designed May 1 a day of support for labour workers. After the Second World War, the Soviet Union and the Soviet Bloc of Eastern Europe held festivities on May 1 as a statement of political unity. In turn, the annual Red Square Parade in Moscow on the same day (or close to it) existed to demonstrate the strength of the militia. After the fall of the Soviet Union, annual celebrations weaned but some countries still observe May 1 as a day of recognition to workers. Today, Labour Day has lost most of its founding significance. It is celebrated in Canada and the United States as an end of summer holidays—a last chance to head to the cottage and spend time with friends and family before kids go back to school and the cold weather moves in, leaving the only reference to the founding essence of the holiday in its name: Labour Day.MILO FALL FAIR MILO COMMUNITY SCHOO SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2nd., 2004 DOORS OPEN AT 3 P.M.

Canada is the world's largest exporter of hard red spring wheat, which is well known for naking high-quality pan breads. Canada markets two thirds of the world's durum wheat which is used to make a product called couscous, as well as pasta. About 80 per cent of Canada's agricultural land is located in the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Peace River region of British Columbia. The Prairie farm encompasses nearly 1000 acres of land. fhe net worth of the average Prairie Canadian farm is Cdn $500 000. n the 1 940s, a farmer fed 11 people. Today one farmer can feed more than 50 people. :armers have embraced resource conservation methods of farming and decreased the use of hemical fertilizers and pesticides. For instance, Canada has planted more enough trees to ircle the globe twice to help prevent soil erosion. Canadian farmers produce more than 20 million tonnes of wheat per year. Mout 20 per cent of the wheat produced by Canadian farmers can be consumed :>mestically. The rest is exported to more than 70 countries around the world. Meat was first planted in Canada more than 400 years ago. . farmer in Central Saskatchewan is more than 1 300 kilometres from the nearest Ocean. he first shipment of wheat from Western Canada left Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 1876. askatchewan produces almost half of Canada's wheat. he Canadian domestic industry has been the largest user of Western Canadian grown leat, durum wheat, and barley during the past three years. estern Canadian farmers grow more than 95 per cent of Canada's wheat. mong Canadian companies, the Canadian Wheat Board is the largest net earner of foreign -rency for the Canadian economy. - 1 - Fun Facts About Wheat It takes 9 seconds for a combine to harvest enough wheat to make about 70 loaves of bread. Each American consumes, on average, 53 pounds of bread per year. An average slice of packaged bread contains only X gram of fat and 75 to 80 calories. Fun Facts About Bread Assuming a sandwich was eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, It would take 168 days to eat the amount of bread produced from one bushel of wheat. A family of four could live 10 years off the bread produced by one acre of wheat. One bushel of wheat will produce 70-73 one-pound loaves of bread. Breaking bread is a universal sign of peace. Bread Is closely tied to religious expression and communion. Hot cross buns commemorate Lent and Good Friday, Greek Easter breads are set with eggs dyed red to denote the blood of Christ, and Jewish families celebrate the coming of the Sabbath on Friday evening with challah (a light, airy yeast bread made of six long strands of dough which are braided to form one large loaf). In 2001, Kansas wheat farmers produced enough wheat to make 24.1 billion loaves of bread. Farmers receive approximately 5 cents (or less) from each loaf of bread sold.

From a tonne of wheat you can make 2500 1 6 oz loaves of white bread. You can make 333 1 2 oz bottles of beer from the malt produced from a bushel of barley. A bushel of barley weighs 48 lbs or 21.8 kg. The first shipment of wheat from Western Canada took place in 1876 when wheat was sent up the Red River, t hen by rail to Duluth and then by lake ship to Toronto. The Canadian Wheat Board was founded over 65 years ago in July 1935. If you put the average annual exports of wheat from Canada into hopper cars, the cars would stretch for over 4,000km, the distance from Winnipeg to Halifax/ Saskatoon toFredericton/Toronto to Dawson Creek. On a 5-year average, five other countries in the world produce more wheat than does Canada. They are, in order, China, India, U.S.A., France and Russia. Wheat was first grown in Canada in 1605 at Port Royal in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia during the French settlement there. By 1850 there were approximately 100 small settlements in Western Canada, including hose in the Red River District. They were provided with wheat seed from England for both vinter and spring seeded crops. David Fife, a farmer near Peterborough Ontario received wheat from a friend in Scotland. 'he variety, which came to be known as Red Fife, became the dominant variety in Eastern Canada by 1886. It was too late maturing to assure consistent crops in the West. n 1909, the first samples of the Canadian-bred variety of Marquis were sent to the rairies. It proved to be such a superior variety that by 1920, 90 per cent of the 6.9 million ectares seeded hard red spring wheat on the Canadian Prairies was Marquis. "he CWB recently announced a sales agreement with Japan for 25 000 tonnes of barley, he barley is going to be used to make tea in Japan. he most elevators to ever appear in Western Canada was in 1933-34 when 5757 of the airie sentinels were in use. As of August 2000, there were 848 licensed primary evators on the Prairies. he greatest amount of Primary elevator capacity appeared in 1970-71 when elevator capacity was 11167 770 tonnes. As of August 2000 there was 6 759 180 tonnes of capacity for holding Prairie farmer's grain.Back to the Basics ‘Manicures ‘Pedicures ‘Facials ‘ScalpTreatments MILO (Trends by TC) September 2 VULCAN (Peter Dawson Lodge) September 9 (Carla Winch Res- 325 Center st) September 16 LOMOND (Lomond Drop Inn Center) September 23 Her appaintrnent& call: Sfieila ItVincfi @ 599-2223 Organizedfor Savings Not for Profit' CO-OP arrowwood co-operative association limited P.O.BOX 120 ARROW WOOD, Alberta TOL OBO (40j) 5j4-3803 Store (40j) 534-3804 Tire & Lube Center Fax [phone] Vour Suppliers of: Petroleum Products - Fuel & Lubricants ires On and Off Road-New/Used/Repair Services - i e enter / dost vehicles - including 1 ton trucks Hardware/Lumber/Plumbing/Electrical kilters -Complete line of oil / air /fuel Belts /Bearings /Hydraulic Hoses -'"‘f°r/eXKri°r ~ to your color specification Batteries - automotive /flashlight / watch / etc Automotive - lights /fuses / accessories Housewares/Sporting Goods Feed and Animal Health Supplies Hours: 8am _ 12 noon lpB Sa,ur(Jay 8am _ n ^VILLAGE OF MILO MINUTES The regular meeting of the Village of Milo was held on July 19, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. at the Village Office.

NKWS FLASH Athens (CP) - The latest doping scandal to reach these Summer Olympic Games does not involve the Greek stars Thanou and Kentaris, but a relatively unknown Canadian athlete. Although the Canadian Olympic Committee refused to reveal the athletes name, referring to the athlete only as 'the Little Blue Cow,' it did confirm that one of it's athlete had tested positive for the banned substance moozanalol and has been withdrawn from the Games. If in fact it is Little Blue Cow it will represent a huge stumbling block to the Canadian team, as the cow was expected to contend for medals in the men's 110 m Hurdles, Synchronized swimming, weight lifting and women's beach volleyball.New CD by Raylene Scarrott (Northcott) is now available at "Taken Milo Green Foods & Scotiabank, Milo jygMiTIT & COMPAJSTY BAJUUSTERS and soljcitors SERVICING ALL YOUR LEGAL NEEDS Dr. Robert J.

The purpose of the Snake Valley Hoedown on June 19 was to celebrate with survivors, support cancer patients and to remember those we have lost. When we started, the emphasis was to have a fun day and to use any money raised for cancer organization donations but never dreamed the funds raised would be so large. Thanks to the generosity of all who took part, over $60,000 was raised from the Hoedown. There are still a few bills to pay, etc. so we will publish a full accounting in a future newsletter. Thanks to the Milo Lions Club for allowing us to hold a cheque presentation after their annual barbecue. Lisa Deitz presented a $30,000 cheque to the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation. This donation is in honour of Lisa, Brett Wilson and in memory of Ryan Deitz. The Canadian Cancer Society and the Alberta Cancer Foundation (Tom Baker Centre) each received a cheque for $15,000. These two donations were in honour of the many survivors in our community and loved ones we have lost. Hoedown organizer Vince Stevens also managed to raise another $10,000 at a Scotiabank Managers conference in Femie. Gayle Debolt, a Calgary branch manager, had her head shaved to raise this money and wanted this additional donation to the Children’s Hospital to be in honour of cancer patient Diane Lawton. Pictured above are (left to right): Colleen Deitz, Joanne Monner (event organizers), Allison Forsch from the Alberta Cancer Foundation, Patti Bambrick from the Alberta Children’s Hospital, Lisa Deitz, and Vince Stevens. A representative from the Canadian Cancer Society unfortunately had car trouble on the way and missed this presentation. _ Hoedown organizing committee * I Below are parts of a letter written by Marilyn Rhodes to Harriet and Bob Deitz. They have all decided to share this with the Milo Community. August 16, 2004 Dear Harriet and Bob, It was so much fun to be down to the Milo Barbeque and see so many old friends. I was particularly touched and proud of the donations made to the various cancer organizations. Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your grandson. Grandchildren are so precious, it must have been devastating. Your granddaughter who has had treatment looked wonderful up on the stage. I pray that she will continue to be free of the disease. I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer in 1995 and have two daughters who have had breast cancer so this is why I was so thrilled that my hometown had done this. After extensive treatment, both my daughters are doing well but it has been a worrysome time. Anyway, I have been telling everyone I see what Milo has done so thought I would share this with you.

In my library work, I come across a number of good resources on the internet. The library approach is that you will find much better information if you search in a reputable resource rather than just searching in Google . There is a wealth of good information databases available from various agencies and a good way to illustrate this is to follow a name through. I chose Armada. Canadian Geographical Names Data Base from National Resources Canada: http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/search/search e.php Here you can search for cities, towns, lakes, rivers or any geographical feature in Canada. The information that I found on Armada included: Province/Territory : Alberta Feature type : Unincorporated area Location : 12-17-21-W4 Latitude - Longitude : 50° 25' 00" N - 112° 46’ 00" W A map of the location is also provided right). You can input a second location and compute the point to point distance - The distance between Armada, Alberta and Milo, Alberta is km ( 12 mi). Alberta Heritage Digitization Project http://www.ourfutureourpast.ca/1 Our Future, Our Past: The Alberta Heritage Digitization Project is being led by the University of Calgary in partnership with the Provincial Archives of Alberta, the Glenbow and Nickle Arts Museums, the Historical Society of Alberta, and the Universities of Alberta and Calgary. It is an increasing collection of digital “pages” from local histories, newspapers, etc. When I did a keyword search for Armada in the LOCAL & ALBERTA HISTORIES section, a number of pages were returned for various titles, including Milo’s first history book, Snake Valley. Reading the history from the actual books is of course the best way to enjoy a long article, but what I like about searching this database is that is points you to every single page in a history book where a person’s name, for example, is mentioned; great for researching a family history, etc. I chose to look at a page from “Place names of Alberta Volume II Southern Alberta”. According to this book: “Armada is the Spanish word for fleet or squadron. It is not clear, however, why this particular name was chosen for the post office which opened 1 January 1915 and closed 1 July 1959.”Library and Archives Canada http://www.collectionscanada.ca/ The ArchiviaNet section of Library and Archives Canada has quite a number of databases available. Many have found the Census of Ontario, 1871, a good resource for “following the family tree” if your ancestors were in Ontario at that time. Below are a couple of examples of databases at ArchiviaNet that I used to continue my “Armada” search. Western Land Grants (1870-1930) The records refer to grants issued in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the railway belt of British Columbia. Most of us refer to these as homesteads. Land patents contain only the name of the grantee, the description of the land and the date granted. They do not contain other personal information. Homestead applications and files, which are more detailed, are held at the provincial archives.

I had to search the “help” screens. The Liber number is a volume number for the documents and there is a table that shows what range of dates correspond to each volume. I have put that date(s) in paratheses behind the Liber number.

(Well, he named them !) © AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA My 5 year old came running into the house shouting, “My tooth is lose!” “Where?” I asked. “Right here on the top bunk.” AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA We were looking in an old family album, one rainy day. I pointed out to my son a picture of his great-grandparents, and explained that they’d lived a long time ago. “I think I heard about them,” he replied. Weren’t their names Adam and Eve?” AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA We had just moved into a new neighbourhood and was walking down our street with our two youngsters We saw two little girls playing with a puppy. “Don’t worry,” said the eldest girl, “our dog doesn’t bite, but our other sister does.”Election Year This is election year for the Village of Milo Councillors and Mayor Nomination forms available at the Village office on Sept. 20,2004 10am to 12pmMilo Municipal Library NEWS a member of the Chinook Arch Regional Library System www.chinookarch.ab.ca North American Mammals http://web4.si.edu/mna This site will be great for helping those elementary school students with their reports on mammals! Developed by an educational outreach program of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, this website includes detailed descriptions, images and distribution ranges for more than 400 mammals native to the North American continent. REALLY COOL FEATURE!!: The Map Search feature allows you to click on a geographic location on a map of North America and a listing of all the mammal species that can be found in that area appears! Be patient as starting the map program and retrieving the data takes a little time. From this nice list, you can click on each mammal for more information and/or produce your own printable field guide by clicking a box beside each species that you want to include in your guide. You can also search the archive by species name or family tree. Our next Library Board Meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 28, 2004.

Gymnast Kyle Shewfelt: Hometown -Calgary, AB Birthdate - 06/05/82 Years on Sr. National Team: 4(2000-03) Years on Jr. National Team: 1 (1999) Bom in Calgary, Kyle began gymnastics in Calgary at the Altadore gymnastics club in 1988 when his mother enrolled him to channel his energies. His first international competition was in 1996 when he travelled to Austria and Hungary for international invitationals as an Age Group athlete. It was in 1999 and 2000 that he began to make his mark on the international scene, proving himself on the World Cup circuit to qualify the Men's program for a second position at the 2000 Olympic Games. Shewfelt has many accomplishments until 2004 - winning 2 gold and 1 silver medals at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, qualifying a full team to Athens and making Canadian history, winning 2 bronze medals at the 2003 World Championships and competing in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. The beginning of 2004 was less than ideal. In March an injury to his left foot created an unfortunate setback and his withdrawal from the 2004 Canadian Championships, but persevered and now has won the gold medal in the men’s floor event at Athens. (Based on information from Gymnastics Canada). Cyclist Lori-Ann Muenzer Hometown: Edmonton, AB Birth date: 21/05/66 Years on National Team: 11 Lori-Ann Muenzer won gold in track cycling sprint competition in Athens. Many find her accomplishment amazing, not because of her age (38), but because of the injuries she had dealt with. On three separate occasions, Muenzer was forced to fight back from lengthy injuries that could easily frustrate the most inspired athletes - a broken collarbone, tendinitis, lung infection, broken hip and ruptured appendix. She broke her collarbone in April 1994, forcing her to miss the Commonwealth Games in Victoria. Her eagerness to get back into action at a World Cup event in Copenhagen, Denmark, six weeks later caused her to develop tendinitis in both knees. The year only got worse when Muenzer, who was living in Quebec at the time, lost her job. That tumultuous 1994 season did leave her thinking about her future as her debts mounted. It took her two years to pay off the debts for that 8 week period. Muenzer started the 1999 season with a lung infection and was hospitalized twice. She was also involved in a horrific mountain bike accident in which she plunged 20 feet off a cliff and landed on her pelvis. Finishing 13th in the 500 m time trial at the 2000 Sydney Olympics wasn't just understandable — it was a real accomplishment. Three years ago, her appendix ruptured four weeks before the world championships. It took her a year and a half to fully recover from that. She's the only Canadian rider — male or female — to qualify for the 2004 Athens Games in track cycling. Muenzer works for Edmonton's Field Law. She was bom in Toronto and moved to Edmonton as a young adult. (Based on information from CBC, CTV, & Calgary Sun)Have you ever thought of taking some kind of music lessons before?
