How Much Woolite In He Washer

Little Lake St. Louis leveraged


Lake St. Louis, the little lake and Latuquoises Latuquois.
July 25, 2008

I do not know if Benoit Hudon and Jacques Michel, creators page I come from LA TOQUE [1] on the popular social book FACEBOOK, would have imagined that their project would become too large and also a network of friendly reunion: that it was attended by nearly 1400 people, who leave their comments, but especially valuable photos on the past of the city.

For some time I come over from LA TOQUE, I saw several photos related to Lake St. Louis and I I remembered the magazine Entertainment Saguenay, which in July 1967, had the marathon swim THE TWENTY-FOUR OF THE TOQUE, its front page.

The photo on the front page, probably 1964 or 1965, gives an overview of the condition of Little Lake in the mid-sixties: the beach, the catfish, the flotilla of paddle boats, before the O- 100-20, and the big star that preceded the giant water lily. can also see the park from St. Eugene, in its natural state, the convent, not yet demolished, and several quiet streets north of Lake Saint-Honoré, Saint Paul, Saint-Michel de la Plage .

Writing Journal no shortage of humor to it, politics is just entertainment! It is not wrong: how politicians and politicians did not they give us the gift of fun? Or move us to tears by their decisions insipid, stupid sometimes ...

The content of advertisements is still worth more than one point of view, because it provides information on the nature and activities of enterprises and their managers. It Rapaille amount of data useful for making the story of a community.

The place of rendezvous for much of the youth latuquois in those years was the dance hall 0-100-20, owned by one of the organizers of the marathon swim Team Gaston Fortin, who had his establishment as "restaurant athletes." Several rock bands have latuquois provided the musical entertainment.

Another advantage of these announcements, the street number of establishments to locate the location where they were before being destroyed or transformed.

Gaston Fortin, later, alderman and mayor of the city, was the group that launched the global project in 1965. A great team of volunteers has managed to make this sport a major event, the equal of the famous swim across Lake St. John.

[1] I am convinced that Title would be much more catchy and better reflect the fundamentally speaking of the city if it were translated, or at least presented in both languages. Could I suggest to the administrator of the page, Christine Hudon, this formulation in French?

A note in passing on Page I COME FROM THE BEANIE [1] , a place very interesting exchange, one wonders about the identity of the drum- Harmony majors who succeeded Adelard Potvin. It seems that Jean-Guy Deslauriers, the painter, was one of them. Certainly, according to Michel Grandbois, professor of Champagnat retired, who was part of two bands, Camil Bouchard was the drum major of the latter. Moreover, several students in this school have participated in the great harmony.

The presence of so many French military was probably a harbinger of the arrival of the Quiet Revolution and the progress of French in Quebec.

Yet advertisers section of the Scrapbook shows that La Tuque was still colonized equally in terms of language. The school had in effect agreed to place ads entirely in English.

is the case of one of the oldest shops in town, a dry goods from the shopping, "ET Hillier & Sons Ltd, men's wear", which states that "your appearance is our business" and garage "JF Keenan Ltd, which presents itself as a" dealer "Chevrolet and Oldsmobile, which operates out" Tessier St.!

Other businesses, most owned by French, displayed a name in English.

We read indeed "Dubois Motor Sales - " Frank Spain Co. Ltd. - "Laviolette adjusment Office" - "Canadian Tire and Repair Co. Ltd.." - "Duchesne Ltd, Furniture -" Electric Inc. St. Maurice. " .

Other times, other manners ...

It will take several years to a campaign of French language, beginning with the CIP plant, which I ' I participated actively, make things happen and we get rid of this attitude of the colonized.
