THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN
Winter 1946
anson, of scenes and personalities from
the pioneer days, and the vivid com-
mentary of Mrs. B. S. Benson further
brought to life for the audience those
interesting figures of the past. The
younger people in attendance, were in-
trigued also by the quaint and elaborate
costumes of the women and the bearded
faces of the men.
The second lecture in the series will be
given by Prof. Tryggvi Oleson on the
“Pioneers of the Argyle District”.
A brief business meeting preceded the
lecture, conducted by the club president,
Mr. Carl Hallson. A resolution was pas-
sed to establish a fund called “The Ice-
landic Canadian Club Scholarship
Fund”, out of which scholarships may be
awarded to worthy students of Icelandic
extraction. The club invites the general
public to support this project, and con-
tributions may be sent to Mr. Paul Bar-
dal, Ste. 4, Bardal Block, Winnipeg. Con-
tributions to funds of this nature are
exempt from income tax. The establish-
ing of this fund and its proper support
by the general public, will no doubt have
far-reaching results in furthering the
cultural enterprises of our people of Ice-
landic descent.
