SUMMARY:Brown Bag History
DESCRIPTION:March’s Topic for Brown Bag History:\nLumberjack Soldiers: The Forestry Corps in the Great War\nSaturday\, March 21 \n12:00 PM \nIt is early Spring\, 1917. \nThe Great War has been raging in Europe for more than two years. Many of your friends\, the boys you went to school with – even your brother – have enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force and even now are “doing their bit” in France. \nBut you have not. \nYou have your reasons for not enlisting. Maybe you’re too young (maybe you’re too old). Perhaps you’re the only man of the house now\, with everyone else in the fighting. Or perhaps that childhood injury kept you from passing the medical examination. Maybe you’re just a little bit afraid. \nWhatever your reasons\, you are working hard here at home. Work is plentiful at the local sawmills\, with demand for wood so high. Some days\, you’re out in the woods\, cutting logs and driving the teams of horses to haul them back to the sawmill. Other days you’re working in the mill\, feeding the saws or hewing the ties. \nBut now\, Conscription is looming. Within the year\, you may be forced to enlist whether you want to or not. And then you see a notice posted at the mill: the government is looking for men just like you for a new type of soldier. \nToday\, you’re a lumberjack. Will you be a soldier tomorrow? \nJoin us on Saturday\, March 21\, to learn more about the stories of the men who faced that choice. \n  \nWhat is Brown Bag History? \nEvery month\, we visit local seniors homes with a presentation about local history – and now we’re making them open to the public\, too. \nSometimes\, these presentations are inspired by an exhibit we’re working on\, a community event\, or a local anniversary. Other times\, they’re the result of a research request or a donation of objects and photographs to the Museum. And sometimes it’s a specific request from one of our audience members that determines the theme. \nSo\, come on down and join us for some wide-ranging rambles through local history! \nAll presentations take place at the Creston Museum\, starting at noon. Admission is free for members of the Creston Museum; $5 for non-members. \n  \n  \nUpcoming Dates (topics to be confirmed): \nSaturday\, March 21 \nSaturday\, April 25 \nSaturday\, May 30 (Blossom Festival: Building the Community for 85 Years) \n  \n  \nTopics Coming Sooner or Later: \nThe Doctors\, Dentists\, and Nurses of the Creston Valley \nCivil Defence and the Cold War \nFive Years in Tye \n…and any topics you’d like to suggest! \n
