er of hours; and blasts from the
Arctic can likewise send them
plunging. However, Arctic
winds are not as frequent as
might be suspected; and the
Chinooks keep their winters
from being constantly frigid.
Here the traveler sees the rich
plains of the prairies rise into
the grandeur of the Canadian
Rockies, a continuation of our
own Western Rocky Mountains.
Our curiosity was aroused by
the name of the first city we
drove into - Medicine Hat.
Legend reveals the desire of an
Indian brave to possess the hat
of his tribe’s Medicine Man -
thought to be imbued with
some mystic power - beyond
his resistance. He eventually
swapped his bride for the sec
ret of the hiding place of the
coveted hat, and thus evolved
the town’s name of Medicine
Hat!
We marvelled at the tremen
dous array of city lights, not
just in the business district, but
throughout the entire city. Up
on inquiry, our respect for the
potency of the traditional “Hat”
took on new proportions, for in
recent years they have discov
ered that Medicine Hat sits di
rectly over a fabulous deposit
of natural gas, which the city
freely uses. Taxes are even at
a minimum because of thr eco
nomy of the city’s facilities,
commerce and industry.
The Highway at times pre
sented scenic panoramas along
the beautiful Bow River, with
which it ran parallel occasion
ally. The Tourist Guide cited
the Calgary Stampede, held
annually during the second
week of July, for over half a
century, as a “must”. Fortuna
tely, we arrived there the nite
before the closing day. This
rodeo, with an $84,000 jackpot,
attracts thousands of contest
ants and visitors from all over
North America. It was the first
live rodeo we had ever enjoy
ed, and we use that verb in a

There were Bronc-riding,
Barrel Race, Chuck Wagon
Race, Calf-roping contests; six
Palomino show horses put
through their paces by their
trainer; superb riding with a
10 year old girl winning a top
prize; and various other feats
of the Old West. Most interest
ing, tho, was the Cutting con
test, in which prize horses vied
with each other in separating
or “cutting” designated steers
from a herd of cattle. Horse
and rider were one, and the
synchronization of mind and
muscle, of man and animal,
was as delightful to see as an
intricately executed ballet per
formance. Several movie per
sonalities were present - Bob
Hope, Slim Pickins, and Tonto,
Canadian Mohawk Indian rider
of The Lone Ranger program.
More than 3,000 Blackfoot,
Peigan, Stoney, and Sarcee In
dians from the Morely Reser
vation encamped in a village on
the grounds, and participated
in the gigantic Stampede Para
des each day.
There was a visit to the
beautifully landscaped Calgary
Gardens and Trout Pools; the
Burnsland Reck Gardens,
where flower lovers could
wander for hours among thou
sands of species of flowers in
bloom; and to one of the con
tinent’s largest wholesale flo
rist houses, with block long
buildings of cut flowers from
their own fields.
We still have not discovered
the secret of Canada’s produc
tion of true blues in so many of
their flowers. Blue hues are
difficult to produce even in
delphinium grown here; and to
see it in such clear and vivid
profusion, even in the lamp
posts’ hanging baskets, was a
challenge to our Georgia Green
Thumb!
