While he never expected to be-
come an active volunteer at
Moose Jaw & District Seniors, it
wasn’t long before he became
one.
Terry Laroque is
one of our newer
members. He joined
a little over a year
ago as a member.
But he was volun-
teering before then.
What brought Terry to Moose
Jaw, and the MJDS was Lori.
When she started working as
the coordinator at the Centre, it
was not long before she had
him helping out.
Terry comes to nearly every
dance and sells 50/50 tickets
with Farris. He has been
around at the danc-
es with Farris
enough that people
have even asked him
if he was Farris’s
son. He also volun-
teers at Sidewalk
Days and other spe-
cial events at the
Centre.
Originally from Duck Lake Sas-
katchewan, Terry moved to Re-
gina several years ago. He
worked at a bank for a number
of years, and when the branch
closed he went to work for the
provincial government as an
auditor for Energy and Re-
sources.
Terry has two children in Regi-
na and a couple of grand-dogs.
The MJDSA was not the only
organization to benefit from
him moving to Moose Jaw. This year he joined the Lions and
devotes time there as well.
Thank you Terry for everything
you do at the Centre. We appre-
ciate all you do!

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped with the
Fowl Suppers this year. With your help we were able
to serve 295 people! It takes a lot of people to make
an event like this happen.
Thanks to the volunteers who decorated the hall, set
up the tables, assisted with cooking the meals, served
& cleaned up, cutting of pies, sold tickets and all of the
other things involved in the day.
There were also several people who assisted in other
ways. Many people donated pies and other food for
the meal or money to purchase supplies for the dinner.
Without all of you, we would never be able to provide
a meal like this.
In the 1940’s Ross Leighton was
a lineman for the telephone
company. It was a job he taught
himself to do. It meant scaling
the poles with spiked shoes.
If someone was having trouble,
they would send him out to find
out what the problem was. Ross
carried a meter that he would
use to see if it was grounded or
the wires were crossed. He
would place one end on the
wire and one on the ground to
see if it was grounded. If there
had been lightening, it would
sometimes knock out a line.
Then Ross would have to take it
apart, clean out the carbon and
put it back together.
For this work he made $1.25 an
hour and 10 cents a mile. It
wasn’t great pay, but it was a job
no one wanted to do.
He recalls when he wanted to
have a phone installed. They
wouldn’t send anyone out to
tear down the lines so he had
to do it himself. It meant tearing
down the lines and planting the
posts himself.
Doing the work was a big job
when they put the power in. It
meant he had to go through all
of the lines and cut out the
hand wound splices. They
caused all kinds of static on the
line.
It wasn’t necessarily a safe job
either. Ross remembers having
posts fall over when he was on
them. There were two guide
wires holding the poles up.
When he disconnected the line
wire, the pole fell over with him
on it. He was lucky to jump
clear of it all. Of course they
never provided any insurance
for him in case of injury. He
went to the Western Producer
and bought his own insurance.
All of this was done on top of
running a farm....the good old
days!
THE GOOD OLD DAYS
On Tuesday September
12th we were honoured
with a visit from the Wild
Rose Fiddlers from Alber-
ta. Each year this lively
group of musicians and
singers board a bus in Al-
berta for a trip to Sas-
katchewan. Along their
way they stop in Moose
Jaw and perform for us
here at the Centre.
The music was fantastic as
usual. 148 people turned
out to listen and dance.
Thanks to everyone from
the Wild Rose Fidders,
and all of those who came
to watch the performance.
A great time was had by
all!
Wild Rose Members: Ollie
Richter, Jim Coombs, Bert
Lafond, Betty Saine, Gail
Elsenheimer, Arnie Kreamer,
Jack Blackmore, Doug Mas-
sey & Jeanette Massey.
50/50 tickets sold by Sylvia
Manzevich.
