Our first stop was for re break and then on to Bala. Here we visited the cranberry marsh. Most farmers today say they can't make a living off : a 100 acre farm, these nH make it off 21 acres. They took us on a ride of the farm on two hay wag- ons drawn by a tractor and he explained evi, as we om with the help of a PIA. sys- tem. On our return they showed us a place to have lunch, the general store, and a snack bar if we required it. In the general store they sold every vasiety of cranberry concoctions, jams, hot spiced sauce, variety of cranberry desserts, etc. Most of us at least bought a large 4.4 pound bag of cranberries for $9. From here we split up and conducted our own tour of Bala. It was not like it was during the summer 49 and 50 years ago. I dropped by the fire hall on Saturday and had a tour of the Srna used by our brigade. My thoughts went back to our last hotel in Caesarea burning and Tilley Harran losing her life. Of Fred Frayer with his large pickle jar asking for dona- tions to buy equipment to form a volunteer fire brigade and from what I've been told there were no handouts from our Cartwright council or other gov- ernments at that time. I was told how Fred Frayer, George Swift and George Blyth went i the town of Wasago and re- turned with our first fire truck, a 1929 La France. This was in 1952. The top speed of the truck was 20 miles per hour. This week the vandals struck again. They drove down the main street hitting all four large red cone shaped warning devices on the edge of the road where construction is taking place. They overturned the gar- bage containers in the park and shimmied up the flag pole, took the flag and in so doing broke the flag pole off.
