Frá Edmonton
(25. okt. 1938)
Herra ritstjóri Lögbergs:
Tíðarfar hefir veriS hiS hagstæð-
asta alt upp til þessa tíma, aðeins
vart við frost um míðjan október.
Það eru 20 ár síðan að ekki varð
vart við frost fyr en svona seint að
haustinu. Öll bændavinna er því
vel á veg komin.
Hér voru á ferðinni um miðjan
mánuðinn Mr. og Mrs. Óli Björns-
son frá Sylvan Lake, Alberta; með
þeim kom Mrs. Jóhann Björnsson
frá Innisfail. Var hún að leita sér
lækninga. Þetta fólk fór alt heim-
leiðis aftur, eftir tvo eða þrjá daga.
Mr. Theodore Moore frá Elfros,
Sask., gengur hér á verzlunarskóla i
vetur. Mr. Moore er íslenzkur í
móðurættina og er miklu betri ís-
lendingur en margir þeirra, sem eru
íslendingar í báðar ættir.
Mr. Axel Jolhnson, sem hefir
unnið í sumar á skipum, sem ganga
á ám og vötnum, norður á Big Slave
Lake, er nýkominn heim, fyrir vet-
urinn. Segir hann að þar hafi verið
mikið að gjöra síðasltiðið sumar, við
að flytja vörur út og inn á þeim
slóðum. Hefir hann þar visa vinnu
á sumrin, en ekkert þar að starfa
á veturna, nema námugröftur, sem
er mjög erfið vinna.
Þeir Mr. John Johnson og Sveinn
Johnson fóru til Markerville um
rniðjan mánuðinn; þann 16. flutti
Mr. John Johnson erindi í kirkjunni
í Markerville. Var það um andleg
málefni. Voru þar til staðar flestir
af eldri kynslóðinni og veittu Mr.
Johnson góða áheyrn. Aftur ræddi
Mr. Sveinn Johnson við fólk á virk-
um dögum um veraldleg málefni, því
hann er lífsábyrgðar agent.
Þann 22. október hélt íslenzki
klúbburinn hér samsæti á heimili
Mr. og Mrs. G. Gottfred til að
kveðja S. Guðmundson sem er á
förum vestur til Victoria, B.C. Var
þetta eitt af fjölmennustu samsæt-
um, sem klúbburinn hefir haft.
Meiri hluti þeirra Islendinga, sem
eiga heima í Edmonton voru þar til
staðar. Stýrði Mr. Gottfred sam-
sætinu, og eftir að hann hafði skýrt
frá tilefni samsætisins, að kveðja
einn af meðlimum félagsins, sem
væri á förum úr borginni. Nokkrir
fleiri tóku til máls, sem allir báru
vott um vináttuþel það, sem þeir

Þakkaði Mr. Guðmundson fyrir

As soon as he asked the beer baron
about the steam beer and told him
he was speaking from a hotel phone,

was some joke. He ignored the

had seen a steam beer sign on a
i hotel at Trail, B.C., many years ago.
* * *
WE had about given up the chase
to get a line on steam beer
when we sat down at a table
with a mutual friend of ours, an old
Yorkshireman. He smiled when we
told him of the trouble we had been
having. He said it was likely the
‘‘Steam Beer” sign was just another
trick to catch the passing trade. It
would bring in lots of ’em, just
curious to try it out, he said, and he
continued: There’s nothing new, but
they’re always revamping the old
things about beer, like everything
else. Long ago, at ’ome, we had
mulled ale, and those who were
more nice than wise used to go for
it. “Steam Beer” would be much
like it. They gave you a red-hot
poker to dash into your glass of
ale, and when you dashed it in you
had mulled ale, a bit warm, if you
know what I mean. Lads sometimes
got hold of the red end of the
poker so the custom was generally
discontinued. They didn’t want to
get their fingers burnt. Haven’t
heard of it for years. They can’t im-
prove beer or ale much by steaming
or mulling. Just a trick or a catch!
ALL of which gets me back to
thinking that most of us lose
a lot of valuable time running
around about things that don’t mat-
ter very much to any of us. Very
often things that we can’t do any-
thing about anyway. If some slicker
starts selling ice cream mulled or
steamed the chances are good that
he will get a lot of customers. And,
frozen soup might go pretty well,
too. An apt phrase catches the cur-
ious every time. Barnum used to
say there was one born every min-
ute. He was talking about suckers.
It’s quite nutty to be running around
talking to everybody about “Steam
Beer,” and it seems sorta screwball,
too, to be wasting time reading about
it, don’t you think?
