The Dying Fisherman's Song

The Dying Fisherman's Song

'Twas midnight on the ocean,
Not a streetcar was in sight,
The sun was shining brightly
For it had rained all that night.

'Twas a summer's day in winter
The rain was snowing fast,
As a barefoot girl with shoes on,
Stood sitting on the grass.

'Twas evening and the rising sun
Was setting in the west;
And all the fishes in the trees
Were cuddled in their nests.

The rain was pouring down,
The sun was shining bright,
And everything that you could see
Was hidden out of sight.

The organ peeled potatoes,
Lard was rendered by the choir;
When the sexton rang the dishrag
Someone set the church on fire.

"Holy smokes!" the teacher shouted,
As he madly tore his hair.
Now his head resembles heaven,
For there is no parting there.

North Quincy - Speech 1945

N. QU1NCY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION SPEECH 1945
JUDITH HANSON

The coming generation has always been under fire. Whether it was the coming generation of 1945,1925 or 1876, the present generation was sure the younger one was all wrong. It was too careless, too frivolous, too indifferent to its responsibilities. It'-has listened to endless admonitions beginning--When I was a boy or when I was a girl.

In spite of the gloomy predictions about it, the present generations has always survived--and creditably. Each successive one has become the present generation and then the past shaking a warning finger at its successor. Yet, each one has solved its problems and left behind its contributions to the great American tradition.

Are we equipped to tread the untrodden paths, to solve the puzzling problems of the world ahead with its new industrial, governmental, and social conditions? The earlier generations faced a predictable pattern of life. They could not stray far from the old well-worn grooves. However,the coming generation of 1945 is faced with new conditions. Conditions on which the sage advice of its elders 'can throw little light.

It is this future, which this graduation class of 1945 is soberly facing tonight. We take courage from the achievements during the last few years of our brothers,cousins, and friends. Flung into the fiery furnace of war, they have not failed in courage, endurance, suffering and even death. For the end is not yet, for many of us shall join them in finishing the work that they have begun. For we are the coming generation by whose hands the new world will be formed.

Are we equipped? Can we accept the challenge? Nurtured in an American public school, we have had every opportunity to develop the courage and initiative that our future demands, as countless generations before have met theirs and as you have met yours.
Thank you'

Krietners in Utah

Here is when Dick and Debby Krietner came to Alta Utah. They enjoyed Skiing, puzzling, falling snow, family history research in SLC, and they enjoyed the Huttons and Yerkes.

Dry Canyon Hike

One day we went for a hike up Dry Canyon. This is the one just east of us. Drive up 2000 North then just keep going to the parking lot. Raquel is a good one to hike with. She has an even pace and knows when to stop for air. [Paul and Becca just hike too fast] Here we enjoyed the view. Yet we stopped when we started hiking in the snow and mud.

Christopher can hear

Christopher can hear really well. He likes to look at where the sound is coming from. Especially when it is a new sound. But then after awhile he gets tired. Everyone enjoys his company.
Hey I thought there was a method of uploading a video. How do I do that?

Clare's prayer when his father passed

At our combined Family Home Evening Rosalie shared the story of the early passing of her great grandfather. He was a spiritual strength to the whole family. He was a senior member of the High Council and best friend of the Stake President Clifford Young. He had given the closing prayer in the Saturday evening priesthood leadership session of the conference. President Clifford Young (Uncle Cliff) had given some lengthy instructions. [Bernard leaned over to Myron Moyle and whispered that he wished that Cliff would finish.] When he arrived home he went to bed by himself.

At the death of Bernard Christensen, his son Clare Bernard Christensen gave a prayer at the foot of the bed. It is an understatement to just share the prayer, but it was significant and perhaps in effect today. So at this moment I share this prayer:

Our Father in Heaven: This is indeed a bitter moment! We loved our father and Thou hast taken him. But Thou gives and Thou taketh away, and blessed is Thy name. Since Thou hast taken him and the strength of his faith is removed from us, wilt Thou open the windows of Heaven and pour us out a blessing of faith in Thee and in Thy Eternal purposes? Make us equal to what Thou has given. We stand up now Lord to accept that which Thou has given.

Then three months later Clare Christensen was called to the High Council to take his fathers place. He was ordained a High Priest by Clifford Young on April 14, 1940.

To my mother Judy

Note:

1. Both of your sons are still married to the 1st and only wife
2. Both of your sons have their own home
3. Both of your sons received a college education
4. Both of your daughters in law received a college education
5. All of your grandchildren will have a college education (3 are still attending)

Aunt Burnetta was right when she said:

• They sent the right Hutton child to college
• They could only afford one child to attend
• They child they sent was Junior Hutton (Red)

What is a Barnardo Boy

The Little Immigrants

Between 1880 and 1930, 80 000 to 100 000 children immigrated to Canada. They were brought here by philanthropic agencies hoping to save them from destitution and poverty in the rapidly growing slums of Great Britain. The largest of these agencies was Dr. Barnardo's homes for Destitute children which is responsible for the immigration of 30 000 of these orphaned or abandoned children. Often these children were being taken from one horrible situation to another.

The rapid industrialization during the 19th century in Great Britain created a loss of menial jobs for unskilled workers and high unemployment figures. That and the large scale migration from rural to urban centers caused a population explosion in the poor districts of the major cities of England. Thirty percent of Great Britain was in poverty, one out of four of these paupers was under the age of sixteen. Without a minimum wage men working in the new factories were not being paid nearly enough to support their families. Wives and any children who were old and strong enough also went to work to support their families. Any loss in a family could mean a substantial drop in funds possibly driving the remaining members into destitution. In the 1860s Great Britain suffered an epidemic of cholera, small pox and scarlet fever. The harvests in this decade were particularly bad causing the prices of food to increase dramatically. These were the dire social conditions which fostered the creation of such philanthropic institutions as Dr. Barnardo's Homes for Destitute Children.

In 1850 the Poor Law Act was amended to allow the emigration of destitute and orphaned children despite this few children were actually emigrated to Canada, Australia or New Zealand for another two decades or so. Marie Susan Rye was perhaps the first person to organized the emigration of children. She took about 900 children to Ontario before 1875. Annie Macpherson took about 350. These women were acting as philanthropists who would personally accompany the children to Canada. This soon became impossible when thousands of children were being emigrated. They were criticized extensively for using the emigration as "just a cheap way of getting rid of paupers". Though these women had good intentions without the help of an institution they were not very successful at finding good placements nor adequate supervision for the children once they were in Canada.

Dr. Barnardo was moved by the plight of the destitute children in the slums during the 1860s. So much so that he began his own philanthropic activities in earnest. He was a evangelist who had started one ragged school for boys (there were hundreds at the time). He wrote extensively for evangelistic journals and papers, and was remarkable at getting the middle and upper classes to become aware of plight of the poor. He used what is today considered some very questionable means to accomplish this promotion of his cause.

After a few years he had several homes and schools for children all over the urban centers of England. He quickly ran out of space and people in England willing to adopt the hundreds of children under his care. Emigration to the promising Commonwealth seemed like the answer. He believed that it would be a multifaceted solution to a number of complex problems. Emigration of destitute children would relieve the overcrowded workhouses and industrial schools as well as supply a work force for the farms in Canada, Australia and New Zealand which were struggling to be productive.

Children emigrated from England to Canada came over as third class passengers on ships bound for the ports of Halifax, St. John's, Montreal, Quebec City and Saint John. From there the children would be taken by train to one of the homes located in Knowlton Quebec, Peterborough, Toronto, Hamilton, Brockville, Bellevile, Stratford and Guelph in Ontario or Winnipeg and Russel Manitoba. Most children would stay at one of these home for a few days to a few weeks before they were taken to farms or city homes of people willing to take them in.

Farmers picked out which child they wanted from the arriving shipments of children. Many children were sent over with their sibling and promptly separated from them on arrival. Often they would never see their brothers or sisters for years or sometimes ever again. Unfortunately many of these children were treated no better than slaves by their foster-parents. If a child was ill-behaved they were likely to be sent to another farm. Many were physically, sexually and mentally abused by their foster-parents and were unable to find anyone whom could help them out of their situations.

Though there were a few benefits of the large scale immigration of children to Canada during the late 19th and early 20th centuries it must be view as predominately a sad and unfortunate period in our history. The miss-treatment of thousands of children, though most have long since grown old and passed away, should not be forgotten nor repeated again.
