Maw-«N, The Glen School built by the settlers in 1928. in wind direction. Being of sturdy stock, they never gave up but looked ahead with hope, though their hearts were often heavy. Even rains caused hardships in the area as the Holdens well recall. The Holdens had just moved into their newly constructed log shanty, af- ter spending the period of time during construction with the John Anid fam- ily, when the rains came. The heavy downpour washed the sand off the roof and the family huddled in a corner covered with sheets and protected by an umbrella. Later Mr. Holden redid the roof in tar paper. A huge garden filled the family’s need for vegetables till the following year and enough grain was raised for the cattle and poultry. During the depression cream sold for only $2.25 for a five gallon can. To— day a half pint of whipping cream which is the closest in texture to farm cream sells for 42 cents. Eggs were sold at $1.00 a crate and today 45 cents a dozen is not uncommon, although prices may rise or fall depending on production. Wilfred Davis is remembered as the first Dairy Cattle promotor appointed by the Extension Service of the Department of Agriculture and Immigration. The Holdens remember acquiring a radio in 1928. a luxury which they and their neighbours enjoyed together during the evenings. The nearest post office and store was at Mile 77 or Division 33. known today as East Braintree. In 1928 the community built their own school located near a low open space or meadow and named it Glen. Each man out the required number of logs assigned; these were squared by axe and erected. Miss Viara Horn was remembered as the first teacher and in 1962 was reported living in Dominion City. Reminiscing back to 1935, it was remembered the trip to Winnipeg over the Dawson Trail from Glen would take a day or more. Today one and a half hours over the Trans Canada Highway will bring to the bright lights of Winnipeg to the west or to the city of Kenora Ontario to the east. 93
