Hi List - I would like some information for a friend - Allen Powell in Wales. Here is the wee story. During WW!!, Allen was sent to Canada for pilot training. He trained in Moose Jaw and then in Calgary. While in Calgary, he played Soccer for the base and I guess he was pretty good as they had a lot in the papers about him. My question is: Does anyone know if Alberta has a facility like BC where one could search the newspapers for these sports stories from 1942. Allen would like to show the clipping to his sons and I sure would like to help him out. We have already written to the Calgary Herald, but they said the search was too involved and would not attempt it unless Allen could give the specific dates. All Allen could remember was that the matches were played between July 15 and September 24 of 1942. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello Esther There is no way of searching the newspapers (that I know of) short of manually. If you haven't had anyone volunteer to look through the papers for you I should be able to get down to the library next week and check out what I can find. Let me know if someone is already going to do this as there is no point in 2 people doing it.
