AB—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, September 26,1981
SEPT. 28-OCT. 4, 1981
Halcyon days, autumnal haze.
Hunting season many places now so be careful in woods... Berlin
airlift ended Sept. 30, 1949, after 277,264 flights... Average length
of days for the week, 11 hours, 39 minutes ... Rosh Hashanna Sept.
29 (Jewish New Year 5742) ... Scallops are in season now... Der
by hats introduced Oct. 2,1840... Affectations of knowledge are more
odious than the lack can be.
Ask the Old Fanner: What was or
is the outfit called "The Royal
Canadian Dragoons"? I have a
brass helmet with this insignia on
the front it, which has been in
the family for years. L.K., Chicago.
The territorial police force of Canada
was organized in 1873, but it was not
known as the Royal Northwest Mounted Police until it was reorganized
in 1920.
Home Hints: A good way to remove rust from outside metal fixtures is with
steel wool dipped in kerosene Follow by polishing with liquid wax.
