There were so many news items about the serious flooding throughout the area in June and early July of 1935. It seems the pioneering spirit was still very much alive, as most seem to have treated the situation as a great adventure and with ingenuity. (Note: In the item headlined “Stock Buyer Reports Costly Trip” I was fascinated by the statement that the train had been backed up from Slave Lake to McLennan, a distance of about 140 km)
