A clipping of a weekly series from "The Sun" newspaper called "Those Were The Days". The series was written by Jim Greenblat as he reminisces on the past of Swift Current.
This particular article is from 5 June 1970. It talks about some of the very first homesteaders to the Swift Current area, who were French in origin, and the start of "Swift Current" in 1883 after a delay due to people claiming land slightly East of Swift Current before CPR decided to build where Swift Current is today. The article also discusses Frank Fraser Timms, the aboriginals which started visiting Swift Current, a mix up between them and some trainmen, and Red Pheasant and the CPR trains. Also mentioned is Hill Gregory's sons participation in D-Day in WWII.
