John Smith, M.P fonds, 1930, 1949-1950, 1954, 1957-1962, n.d.

John Smith (1894-1977), son of Daniel Smith and Annie Douglas was a native of Scotland, immigrating to Canada in 1913. He first worked as a coach builder, then as a carpenter, finally developing his own contracting business. During WWI he served overseas with the 10th Battery, RCA as a sergeant. In 1924 Smith married Jean Wood, and together they had a daughter Irene (Hugh Langley). Smith first entered politics in 1940 serving as an alderman for the next 11 years. In 1954 he was elected mayor of the city of St. Catharines, and was twice returned to office by acclamation, serving until 1957 when he successfully ran as the Progressive Conservative candidate representing Lincoln County in the federal election. He won the election by a 10 000 vote majority. He served his constituents in Ottawa until he was defeated in the 1962 election. After leaving politics Mr. Smith was active in his community. He spearheaded the establishment of the St. Catharines Museum, and then was appointed its first director in 1966, serving in that capacity until 1972. He was an active member of the board of governors of the St. Catharines General Hospital and a life member and former president of the Lincoln County Humane Society. In 1971 he was voted Citizen of the Year for the city of St. Catharines. John Smith died on February 8, 1977 and was buried at Victoria Lawn Cemetery.

It may have been built around the time the county constructed other schools, namely, Grapeview and Glenridge. Nicholson and Macbeth may have been the architects of this school, as some features on the building, ie. the carved stone children’s faces below the lintel of the front door , appear in another known and proven Nicholson and Macbeth building, the former YMCA on Queen Street in St. Catharines. The school remained in operation until 1979 when it was purchased for a church, the Fairview-Louth Community church, which later became Southridge Community church, now located on Glenridge Avenue, St. Catharines, Ont. Today the building is occupied by the Niagara Korean Presbyterian Church.

Les quais de l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent, 1870-1930 : une étude en archéologie historique

On trouve sur les côtes de l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent des vestiges de quai dont la ressemblance mutuelle suggère leur contemporanéité. Les vestiges de ces «quais du gouvernement » relatent une importante conjoncture (1870-1930) caractérisée par l'intégration des localités côtières dans une économie interrégionale. Le quai, autrefois lieu d'interface entre la ruralité et le cabotage, devient pour l'archéologue une occasion de retracer les éléments entrant dans sa conception et sa réalisation. L’observation des éléments architecturaux permet de distinguer les traits architecturaux associés aux quais du gouvernement parmi l’ensemble des techniques de construction déjà employées dans l’estuaire au XIXe siècle.

Aux “marges sales” de la parole vive : les débats sur la langue dans le milieu théâtral québécois (1930-1968)

Des débats et interventions diverses sur les rapports entre langue et théâtre au Québec, on ne retient souvent que les polémiques ayant entouré, entre 1968 et 1973, la création des premières pièces de Michel Tremblay ainsi que les innombrables prises de position publiques de leur auteur. Dans une perspective sociohistorique, cet article cherche à montrer que — à partir des années 1930, tout particulièrement — une réflexion originale sur la langue au théâtre prend naissance dans un contexte où la critique tente de penser l’autonomie d’un théâtre québécois en émergence. D’où une vive attention à la façon de porter la parole vivante au théâtre (élocution, débit, accent), qu’il s’agit de faire échapper à l’influence de l’art oratoire et de l’éloquence profane ou sacrée. L’importance de la notion centrale de l’époque, le naturel à la scène, se manifeste ensuite sous d’autres formes, notamment à travers la promotion d’un théâtre réaliste, puis social. La dramaturgie et les positions de Marcel Dubé sur la question linguistique, affirmées dès les années 1950, sont exemplaires de cette évolution générale, qui s’inscrit en faux contre une perspective textualiste évacuant de l’oeuvre de théâtre la parole quotidienne, dans toute son imperfection et sa fragilité.
