Chapter 29 – 1937 - The Heart of Spain Tour (continued)





From Dad’s  collection of press clippings, I know the tour included the Crowsnest Pass September 6-14th as well as  Southern Alberta (Sept 15 – 25th) including Fort MacLeod, Pincher Creek (September 15)  Lethbridge , Picture Butte, Taber, Turner Valley (Sept 20th) and High River September 24?) . In a High River Times article dated September 30, 1937, Dad refers to a total of 13 meetings in Southern Alberta.

Additional meetings were held that same fall in Drumheller, Bowden,Wetaskawin (October 4),  Edson (October 23),  Rocky Mountain House (November 4), Nordegg (November 5). Pictured is the 1937 advertisement from the Rocky Mountain House newspaper, the Mountaineer, another from the local Edson paper and a newspaper article from the Lethbridge Herald.
