I am writing to ask if your library holds a original copy
of the Ottawa Journal, Friday, 12 May 1967. Library and
Archives Canada has suggested that you might. I am seeking
an original copy from which a photograph can be made of an
article and image for reproduction in a book. LAC does not
have an original copy in its collection.

I have a reference question that you may be able to help
me with. A library patron is looking for a book about
Canada… not the tourist type of book but more about, as he
says, “how Canada is better than the United States”
which, knowing this fellow as I do, means “more
politically ‘left’ than the US.” He is a Quaker and
greatly admired Canada for “taking in the draft
resisters” in the Viet Nam era. He is worried about the
apparent “rightward” drift but still thinks Canada is a
“better place.” I'm writing from the Princeton Public
Library in Princeton NJ, USA but my parents live in Calgary.
Thank you.

There were two "Larsen" voyages across the North West
passage in the ship "St Roch" - one in 1940 to 1942 and the
other in 1944. Can you find out the names of the crew
members on the 1940 - 42 voyage? I think there were 8 or 9

King George VI. Thank you!
