The Names on the Cenotaph
The Whitecourt Advisor
is helping to gather information and photographs in regards to the individuals listed
on Whitecourt’s Cenotaph.
The idea is to build a memorial audio/visual presentation at this structure.
To date, there is much
work to be done. The following gives some history
in regards to some of the
names. Anyone having
any information or photographs, please call the
Legion at 778-3666.
A. Cornell is possibly
Archibald Clayton Cornell, who died at the age
of 23, on April 9, 1917.
His address is listed as Edmonton, at the same residence as his father. He may
very well have been working
around Whitecourt in a lum-
ber camp. Archibald served
in the 16th Battalion of the
Canadian Infantry, and is buried in Pas de Calais, France.
The cemetery overlooks the
battlefields of Vimy and Souchez. The other A. Cornell
listed as a casualty for WWI
lived in Goderich, Ontario.
There is no progress yet
with E. Loban’s history.
B. McDowell is Bruce
Robert McDowell, who
died August 10, 1918. On
his Attestation Paper, for
the Canadian Over-Seas
Expeditionary Force, he
wrote his home address as
White Court, as was the
custom of the time. Bruce
listed his occupation as
farmer and fought with
the 10th Battalion, Alberta
Regiment. He is buried in
Cerisy, France.
There are several R.
McDowell’s listed as casualties, with none stating Whitecourt as their
residence. An attempt will be
made to use census records

NOVEMBER 2005
While visiting Edmonton, a Whitecourtite noticed a couple of city workers beavering away along the city sidewalks.
The man was quite impressed with their hard work, but no
matter how long he watched, he couldn’t figure out what they
were doing.
Finally curiousity got the better of him and he approached
the workers and asks “It seems that one of you digs a hole,
and then the other guy immediately fills it back up again. Are
you checking for something important?
One of the city workers explained, “Well no, we’re working a little harder today, because usually there’s three of us.
The guy who puts the trees in called in sick today.”

You Can’t Choose Your Relatives
A pregnant woman gets into a car accident and falls into a
deep coma. Asleep for nearly six months, she wakes up frantically and asks the doctor about her baby.
The doctor replies, “Ma’am, you had twins! A boy and a girl.
The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them.”
The woman thinks to herself, “Oh no, not my brother
-- he’s an idiot!” Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor,
“Well, what’s the girl’s name?”
“Denise,” the doctor says.
The new mother thinks, “Wow, that’s not a bad name!
Guess I was wrong about my brother. I like Denise!” Then
she asks the doctor, “What’s the boy’s name?”
The doctor replies “DeNephew.”
At the Generation Gap
A mother and daughter went of for a day of Christmas
shopping. After breezing through several stores, the mother
saw an expensive fur coat on display. On impulse, she goes
inside and asks to try it on. It is a good fit. Turning to look in
the mirror, she likes what she sees.
After thinking a second, the mother states “This year, I
think I will buy my present instead of making you and dad
shop for me and I think this fur coat would be perfect too.”
The daughter protested, “But mom, some helpless, poor
creature has to suffer so that you can have this.”
“Don’t worry honey,” says the mother, “your father won’t
get the bill for a couple of weeks.”

Whitecourt Chamber
Raises Profile
Out of sight is out of mind for many
of us. The Whitecourt Chamber of Commerce is often seen as an organization
of limited use by many area businesses.
However, a new outreach project, started
under outgoing Chamber president Janet
Kuehn, and carried on by new president
Dave Dunville, looks set to change this.
The candidate’s forum, pictured
above, is just one of many events the
Chamber organizes or participates in, to
contribute to both Whitecourt’s democratic structures and economic well being. Other events include the annual Trade
Fair and the Christmas Parade.
In addition, the Chamber offers small
business benefits such as group health
care and low credit or debit card rates.

Understand Your Health
What is Live Blood Analysis?
Two drops of living blood are taken from the client’s finger by way of
a tiny pinprick. The “live” sample shows function and activities of the
blood cells while the “layered” or “dry” sample shows the waste byproducts produced in those areas of the body not functioning as they
should. Using photo comparisons the analyst views the images using
a fiber-optic, video-enhanced, high-resolution microscope, which are
simultaneously seen by the client on a TV monitor with
magnification of up to approx. 15,000x using both light
and darkfield analysis. This high resolution shows white
and red cell activity, immune and nutritional status,
cholesterol, yeast, parasites, bacteria, mycotoxins. and
indications of stress and disease.
Have you ever had a “sick and tired” feeling that
won’t go away?
Have you or a friend or family member ever felt “sick and tired” and
couldn’t readily find an explanation for it? Many of our clients have
reported that due to live blood analysis and a consultation they have
finally been able to resolve longstanding health problems. They had
been puzzled for months, or even years, by symptoms that usually did
not show up on tests that came back “normal”. With the help of live
blood analysis, in most instances, they were amazed to actually see for
themselves what was causing their sick and tired feeling.

GNA - A loose association of five German nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) has formed the PapiTchad
Work Group to promote the “Papillon” solar cooker in Chad
and evaluate the results. The Papillon is essentially a parabolic cooker consisting of two reflective “wings” with a gap
in between to allow for comfortable use by the cook and

Derk Rijks of the KoZon Foundation began a small demonstration project in northern Chad at the Iridimi camp for refugees
from the Darfur region of Sudan. Mr. Rijks took 100 “CooKits”
— panel-type solar cookers developed by Solar Cookers International — to the camp. The project tested whether food donated
to the refugees by the United Nations World Food Programme
could be solar cooked and whether the refugees would accept
solar cooking. Three CooKit trainers from N’Djamena, Chad
— Marie-Rose Neloum, Martine Missal and Esther Ndoroumta
— aided in the training. The refugee women were enthusiastic!
They cooked rice, maize and sorghum porridge, legumes, dried
fish and okra sauces. Staff members from the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva were very helpful.
Efforts are being made to expand the program. www.kozon.org

Over breakfast one morning, a woman said to her husband, “I bet you don’t know what day this is.”
“Of course I do,” he indignantly answered, going out the
door on his way the office.
At 10 AM, the doorbell rang, and when the woman opens
the door, she was handed a box containing a dozen longstemmed red roses. At 1 PM, a foil-wrapped, two pound box
of her favorite chocolates arrive. Later, a boutique delivered a
designer dress. The woman couldn’t wait for her husband to
come home. “First the flowers, then the candy, and then the
dress!” she exclaimed. “I’ve never spent a more wonderful
Groundhog Day in my whole life!’

commemorative events and
activities will be held in communities all across Canada.
Every year is an important year to honour veterans
and their service. However
2005 is especially meaningful because it marks the 60th
anniversary of the end of the
Second World War. Among
other efforts, the Government
of Canada is developing a
new Veterans Charter that
will better support Canadian
Forces members and their
families who are re-entering
civilian life.
There
were
several
events organized throughout
the year. A particularly interesting project is the Virtual
War Memorial (see story next
page).
Participants for this year’s
Remembrance Day parade are
asked to meet at 10:00 a.m. at
the Legion. The service will
be held at the Community
Centre, with doors opening
at 10:00 a.m. For more details and contact information

Remembrance Posters to Print
NOVEMBER 2005
(NC)-This Remembrance Day why not download one of
Veterans Affairs Canada beautiful Year of the Veteran posters
and help the people in your life connect with the sacrifices
of Canadian Veterans. Veterans Affairs Canada has produced
five visually stunning and emotionally moving posters to commemorate the Year of the Veteran. One is shown opposite.
There are five posters in all under the themes of Remember, Thank, Honour, Celebrate and Teach. Each poster
depicts a moving scene - war graves to remember, veterans
interacting with youth to thank, the National Vimy Memorial
in France to honour and children celebrating the end of the
war to celebrate. Some of the photos are old, some are new.
What they all have in common is they carry a moving message of remembrance for those Canadians who served and,
in thousands of cases, sacrificed their lives. To download the
posters, go to canada.gc.ca and click on Veterans under the A
- Z index. Then go to the Year of the Veteran website at www.
vac-acc.gc.ca. There is also a three-minute video available as
well called “2005 Year of the Veteran.” - News Canada
Canadian Virtual War Memorial
(NC)-The legacy
of Canada’s Veterans
lives on in the Canadian Virtual War Memorial.
This
on-line
registry contains information about the
graves and memorials of more than
116,000 Canadians
and Newfoundlanders who served and
gave their lives for their country. Also included is information
about more than 100 soldiers who died in service since the
Korean War, including peacekeeping and other operations.
The purpose of the Canadian Virtual War Memorial is to
keep alive the memory of the achievements and sacrifices made
by Canada’s Veterans. Veterans Affairs Canada is encouraging
Canadians to send in photos or memorabilia of Canada’s war
dead. These photos will be used to put a face to the name of
each special soldier. The Canadian Virtual War Memorial also
provides access to additional search resources that are available on the Internet. Canadians wanting to participate can go
to canada.gc.ca, click on Veterans in the A-Z index and then
visit the Canada Remembers site. - News Canada
Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation
The Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation’s goal is to produce one personal Memorial Print for all 117,000 Canadian men
and women that have died in either the Boer War, World War 1,
World War 2 or on United Nations peacekeeping missions. For
more information, see their inspiring website at www.canadianfallenheroes.ca. Their poster is shown right.

In WWII, George Edward Deatherage was a pilot
officer and air gunner in the
#101 Squadron. During a
night action on December 17,
1944, his Lancaster aircraft
was shot down over Albeck,
Germany.
The crew of 7 were
killed. George is buried
in Durnbach, Germany.
George’s brother, Walter David Deatherage, was killed in
action earlier, on September
2, 1942, at the age of 20.
Whitecourt
Heritage
president John Dahl remembers George Deatherage as a
good friend of his older brother, Vet Gilbert. They worked
together at the Western Mill.
Morley Junior Brewer
was a flight sergeant and air
gunner in the #429 Bison
Squadron. He was killed in
action on February 27, 1945
at the age of 19. The starboard
tire blew as his Halifax aircraft took off from England.
The plane cartwheeled onto
the pavement causing the
bombs on board to explode.
The crew of 6 were killed.
Morley is buried in Harrogate, England.
Gorden Brown, fellow
Vet and good friend of Morley, remembers him as a stellar student. They met in Grade
8, when Morley first moved to
Whitecourt.
There was no record of
Korean Vet David D. Ivans
anywhere among the Canadian researchers. As downtown
Gordon Brown recalls, David
was underage and signed up
in America. David lived with
his parents in a house down
by Rotary Park.
There is no David D.
Ivans listed in the main U.S.
database of Korean Vets.
There is a David Darwin Ivens from Alberta, Canada.
This might be the person, but
more work is needed to confirm this.
David Darwin Ivens was
listed as a member of Company C, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division. He
was killed in a battle in Korea
on June 3, 1951. David was
awarded the Purple Heart,
the Combat Action Ribbon,
the Korean Service Medal,
the United Nations Service
Medal, the National Defense
Service Medal and the Korean War Service Medal.
On November 11, please
remember all veterans and
our peacekeepers. If you attend the Remembrance Day
ceremonies, think of the individuals listed on the Cenotaph, and the bit of their stories told here; and the future
that they have made possible
for us. §

Some young people who
were attending gatherings
in preparation for protests
to be held at the World Bank
dropped by and got some
information that is critical to really understanding
what the financial problems
are. Quite often World Bank
protestors promote more and
more big government, without realizing the problems
involved in going down this
road. Given the lessons of
Russia and China, it should
be obvious the solutions do
not lie in this direction.
Kemp Harshman, a CESJ
board member and President
of the Clarendon Foundation,
provided an excellent sound
system and photographed the
event. The group received a
cordial and cooperative reception from the security
staff at the Federal Reserve
as well as from the D.C. Metropolitan Police.
Capital Homesteading
and the FED
American Revolutionary
Party Co-Founder Rick Osbourne, best known as “the
press secretary for virtual
presidential candidate Joe
Lunch Buckett,” opened the
proceedings. Before introducing the speakers, Rick commented on the importance
of democratizing the free
market economy to provide
a sound basis for economic
and social development—not
just for the United States, but
for the world.
Rabbi Herzel Kranz of
the Silver Spring Jewish
Center gave an invocation,
preceded with some com-
mentary. He recognized the
late Louis Kelso and his writings that underpin the work
of CESJ promoting the goal
of economic justice through
broadened capital ownership. His invocation offered
thanks for God’s bounty and
noted the importance of everyone sharing in it in a just
and equitable way.
CESJ President and Employee Stock Ownership Program pioneer, Norman Kurland, next gave a short history
on the Just Third Way, mentioning the special role that
the late Senator Russell Long
played. Among his many other qualifications, Mr. Kurland
is also a lawyer and an economist who served as deputy
director of Project Economic
Justice under U.S. President
Reagan.
Ex-Alaska Senator Mike
Gravel, who helped introduce the oil dividend cheque
that Alaskans now regularly
receive, sits on the advisory
council of CESJ. Current
Senator Rick Santorum has
endorsed a letter of support
for Just Third Way money issuances for Iraq.
Rev. Walter Fauntroy

Norman Bailey followed, commenting on the
need to end wage slavery by
universalizing access to capital ownership, reinforcing
Rev. Fauntroy’s point that
changing Federal Reserve
policy was critical to creating
a genuinely free, and democratic, society. He observed
that the police officers at the
event were also wage slaves
and deserved the opportunity
as citizens to easily acquire
income-producing capital.
Mr. Bailey is currently a consulting economist for The
Potomac Foundation and formerly served as Senior Director of International Economic
Affairs on the White House

the benefit of everyone.
Humberto
Rodriguez,
President and Founder of the
Free People’s Foundation,
then spoke of his lifelong
struggle for freedom, and
his belief that Capital Homesteading is the economic
foundation of the freedom
that he fought for in Cuba and
for the U.S. in World War II.
He proclaimed that the United States has the right and the
duty to help everyone be free.
John Romano then expressed
his wholehearted support for
the work of CESJ and the position of ARP. He added that
one of the basic problems
was how corporations were
financed. He noted that reforms are needed to make it
easier to form capital, and to
facilitate democratic participation in the process.
An Annual Event
All in all, the participants
felt that the day was a success.
It introduced to the world
the American Revolutionary
Wisdom for the Day
“Every noble work is at
first impossible.”
- Thomas Carlyle
Party and served as the first
of what is hoped will become
an annual event—at least until Capital Homesteading for
every citizen is established
as national policy. ARP will
strive to build public awareness of the key role of the
Federal Reserve in creating
money and credit to build the
productive sector and universalize access to ownership of
new growth through Capital
Homesteading.
In Alberta, Socreds will
continue working to educate
both the public and members of other political parties
about needed economic and
monetary reform. The latest
news on this front is that the
Beverly-Clairview constituency association in Edmonton now has over 200 members, with 30 volunteers distributing the reborn Alberta
Social Credit Chronicle. As
previously stated, a central
facet of social credit is that
it doesn’t matter which party
enacts needed changes, as
long as the needed changes
are enacted. §

Don’t Forget
Your Christmas
Wish List
Test: ‘Growing Up is Hard to Do’
- You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
- 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to sleep.
- Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hookup” and
“breakup”.
- Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as ‘dressed up.’
- You’re the one calling the police because your neighbor next door plays the stereo to loud.
- Your car insurance goes down and your car payments
go up.
- You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald’s.
- Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
- You no longer take naps from noon to 6 p.m.
- Dinner and a movie - The whole date instead of the
beginning of one.
- Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 a.m. would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
- A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer ‘pretty good stuff.’
- You actually eat breakfast foods at breakfast time.
- “I just can’t drink the way I used to,” replaces “I’m
never going to drink that much again.”
- Over 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer
is for real work.
- You don’t drink at home to save money before going
to a bar.
- You read this entire list looking for one sign that doesn’t
apply to you.
