This study analyzes the war-time rations the Finnish soldiers received on the front from 1939 until 1945. The main objective was to determine the contents of the rations and how they affected the soldiers' nutrition and morale. The information concerning food and feeding is mainly based on the official documents found in the Military Archives. Some additional material was from the historical literature, some from memoirs, or from the veterans who personally experienced the front. The documents in the Archives of Military Medicine provided information on the soldiers' deficiencies. During the Winter War, which took place from 30 November 1939 until 13 March 1940, ample food was available. The cold climate caused problems and the fresh food got frozen. However, no severe deficiency cases were reported and the morale was high. By contrast, during the Continuation War, which began in June, 1941 and ended in September, 1944, difficulties were experienced. At the time farming in the country faced serious problems due to the shortage of labour, fuel, etc. Furthermore, importing food was generally not possible. However, importing food mainly from Germany saved the Finns from hunger. In addition, the self activity of the soldiers on the front added somewhat to the food production. But the rations had to be reduced. Their energy values were consequently low, especially for the young men. Food was monotonous and occasionally caused complaints. The main sources of protein, vitamins and minerals were the whole cereal foods. Butter was fortified with vitamin A and vitamin C tablets were also distributed, to compensate for the scant food sources. Only approximately 300 serious deficiency cases required hospital care during the three years time, out of a total of 400 000 soldiers. Feeding the young soldiers during the war (1944 - 1945) in Lapland, which had been destroyed, was problematic but the increased rations also saved them from deficiencies. In spite of the severe difficulties experienced occasionally in feeding the soldiers during the wars, the system worked all the time. The soldiers were fed, the cases of nutritional deficiency and epidemics caused by food were kept very limited and the morale of soldiers remained high.

Lewis Tyrell married Jane Gains on August 31, 1849 in Culpeper Court House, Virginia. Jane Gains was a spinster. Lewis Tyrell died September 25, 1908 at his late residence, Vine St. and Welland Ave., St. Catharines, Ont. at the age of 81 years, 5 months. Jane Tyrell died March 1, 1886, age 64 years. Their son? William C. Tyrell died January 15, 1898, by accident in Albany, NY, age 33 years, 3 months. John William Taylor married Susan Jones were married in St. Catharines, Ont. on August 10, 1851 by William Wilkinson, a Baptist minister. On August 9, 1894 Charles Henry Bell (1871-1916), son of Stephen (1835?-1876) and Susan Bell, married Mary E. Tyrell (b. 1869?) daughter of Lewis and Alice Tyrell, in St. Catharines Ontario. By 1895 the Bell’s were living in Erie, Pennsylvania where children Delbert Otto (b. 1895) and Edna Beatrice (b. 1897) were born. By 1897 the family was back in St. Catharines where children Lewis Tyrell (b. 1899), Gertrude Cora (b. 1901), Bessie Jane (b. 1902), Charles Henry (b. 1906), Richard Nelson (b. 1911) and William Willoughby (b. 1912) were born.

Iris (b. 22 May 1912 in Biddulph Township, Middlesex, Ontario) was the daughter of Albert (son of Joseph b. 1870 and Elizabeth Sloman, b. 1872) and Josie (Josephine Ellen) Butler Sloman of London, Ont.

He currently resides in London, Ont.

L'educaci?? femenina a la Mallorca de postguerra, 1939-1945. 'La educaci??n femenina en la Mallorca de la postguerra'

El trabajo trata de hacer un an??lisis de los rasgos m??s significativos que caracterizaron la educaci??n femenina durante los primeros a??os de postguerra. Las hip??tesis iniciales parten del hecho de que la educaci??n femenina adquiere un importante papel de cara a la consolidaci??n del r??gimen en sus inicios, as?? como del hecho de que presenta un modelo r??gido y estereotipado que se va reproduciendo con el objetivo de contribuir al mantenimiento de unas estructuras sociales y econ??micas tradicionales. El trabajo se centra en la isla de Mallorca y abarca el periodo 1939-1945, e intenta poner de manifiesto la educaci??n femenina en la postguerra. En la primera parte se hace un an??lisis del aparato general de la educaci??n femenina en la postguerra, a un triple nivel: a) ideol??gico, b) legislativo y c) funcional. La segunda parte se refiere al caso concreto de Mallorca y consta, a la vez, de dos grandes apartados. En el primero, se analiza la educaci??n femenina desde la perspectiva institucional, describiendo los cambios que se producen en este terreno. Se incluye, tambi??n, el estudio de algunos rasgos caracter??sticos del tipo de formaci??n proporcionada por uno de los colegios femeninos religiosos m??s representativos: La Pureza. El segundo apartado est?? dedicado al estudio de la labor realizada en Mallorca por la Secci??n Femenina de FET y las JONS y mujeres de Acci??n Cat??lica. Propios de la investigaci??n hist??rica:. La documentaci??n utilizada comprende el material del Archivo de la Delegaci??n Provincial de la Secci??n Femenina de Baleares, a excepci??n del comprendido dentro del cap??tulo de correspondencia. Las publicaciones peri??dicas, as?? como los manuales y libros de texto para ni??as, han sido tambi??n piezas fundamentales. An??lisis de documentos. En la postguerra se produce un decidido y claro intento por parte del poder y de las clases dominantes de apoderarse de los instrumentos educativos, institucionales y no institucionales, con la finalidad expresa de consolidar el nuevo r??gimen. El concepto de la Educaci??n al servicio del Estado totalitario impera en las Leyes educativas promulgadas a partir de 1938. Los planteamientos educativos del r??gimen no se limitan a realizaciones a nivel institucional normal sino que, al mismo tiempo, se crea un aparato educativo paralelo al escolar que supone un claro intento de educaci??n ideol??gica y, evidentemente, pol??tica. Cabe destacar, en este sentido, todo el montaje de los campamentos juveniles y otras actividades recreativas, la implantaci??n de escuelas especiales tales como las 'Escuelas de Formaci??n', las 'C??tedras Ambulantes' o las 'Escuelas de Hogar'. En cuanto a la educaci??n femenina, se da un claro intento de desligarla de lo que se entiende como educaci??n institucional normal, haciendo de ella una educaci??n 'especial'.

La educación en Teruel en la época de la postguerra (1939-1945).

Averiguar la transformación que en materia educativa realiza el franquismo en la provincia de Teruel, con la adecuación del nuevo sistema educativo al momento político. La educación en Teruel en la época de postguerra. Síntesis histórica de la Guerra Civil y especialmente de las actuaciones educativas realizadas en ambos bandos. Estudio del contexto histórico nacional e internacional y sus repercusiones sobre la política educativa. Análisis de la política educativa: leyes, decretos y reglamentos. Análisis de Teruel y su población, instituciones de gobierno y órganos de comunicación social. Estudio de las instituciones y estamentos educativos turolenses. Bibliografía. Textos legales. Diario Lucha. Análisis histórico-descriptivo. El desmantelamiento de la labor educativa e ideológica de la república en Teruel, supone la perdida del 21'94 por ciento del personal docente. A partir de la depuración, el personal docente se compondrá por excombatientes, alfereces provisionales, mutilados, falangistas, religiosos, y algún profesional de la enseñanza. El favoritismo es aplicado de forma institucional. En la Secundaria se implanta una enseñanza eminentemente humanística, con diferenciación entre función docente y examinadora. Los órganos de gobierno de Teruel presentan un definido carácter sucursalista. En este período sólo funciona un diario del movimiento: Lucha. La coeducación está mal vista, y las enseñanzas del hogar serán clave para la formación femenina. Toda la enseñanza en Teruel, adolece, pues, de pauperismo, inculcación ideológica, sectorismo, y parcialidad.
