We went to Antwerp where we couldn't get at the ship, my dad's cousin came and his niece, they came along with us but they wouldn't let us go, they said we had bad eyes, so they were doctoring on our eyes for a couple of weeks, because we had paid for the passage, it didn't cost any extra. Somebody advised us to go to a ship doctor, an English doctor, he looked at our eyes, he said we've got no trachoma which they were afraid of in those days, he gave us some drops, in a few our eyes where clear, then we could go. So, from Antwerp, we went to England, that's just where we landed, and then we crossed England and went to Liverpool, I guess, from there we got the big ship. We spent Christmas on the ocean. Do you remember that Christmas? I remember that as good it can be. There I saw the first Santa Claus, there was a guy with a chain coming around and then you got presents, but on the ship, there was a real Santa Claus, each person got presents. The girls got kissed besides. It was quite an experience. In the meantime, we had an extra playroom for the kids, that's where we spent all our time, there were things we never had, rocking horses, rocking dogs, swings and stuffs like that, so that was quite exciting for us. It took us about 8 days to get over and we landed in St. John, New Brunswick, and from there we took the train for the rest of the way. I don't know how long it took us with the train but we ended up in Leader, Saskatchewan. My dad's cousin picked us up with a sleigh. It was the first of January when we arrived in Canada, this was a little later, but on January 1st we landed in Canada. And when my dad's cousin saw us the took our caps away and bought us Canadian caps. They looked too German, I guess. Maybe, they didn't have the ear flaps, so this was winter. But I was looking for those caps and I never so another one like them, a shelly peak and a fanny ribbon around or some kind of a layer whatever it was.

My dad's cousin wanted to pay for me to go further, I would have had to board in Richmound to go to a high school, but I said no, I prefer farming.\nIt is an amazing thing, only due to my back I had to give up. The best place to raise kids is on the farm, we never made any money there, I never had to pay any income tax, we had one good year and 5 bad years. You charged up, and you had to pay all your debts. We always had enough to eat, we had our own food. So, the only thing is, we had to buy clothing.\nWhat made these years hard?\nThere were the dust years of the 1930s. There were a couple of years \nOur neighbour who had 200 acres just west of our place\nThe horses had to find their own way home because it was so dusted you couldn't see the road. And then we went...my dad had 27 sheep...\nWe had a fence all around the yard, and then trees,\nIt was a few years like that when there was so much sand there.\nSo, the lambs were full of dust, and in the fall when we took them in, the cattle were full or dirt. We couldn't have to many cattle, we didn't have to much pasture, we couldn't farm that big either, but with horses when we started we couldn't farm that much.\nHow much land did you have?\nHe started with 2 quarters, then we got another quarter. When I quit I was farming 6 quarters but had 3 quarters on my own. My dad had 2 quarters and I bought one quarter, so I actually owned only 3 quarters. And I sold it for 27,000 dollars. And a couple of years later they paid a 100,000 by quarter for the same land.\n\nWhen did this happen?\nI left in 1965, and I sold it in 1967, I was in the hospital with a heart attack and I sold it while I was in the hospital, and shortly after that, in 1968, 1969, there was good crops and after that the price went up.\nWhat kind of work have you done over your life time?\nWell, mostly it was farming, but when I came in to town, I worked as a night in a season hotel for about 6 months or so, that's where I got the heart attack. Then I worked for the car safety inspection in Medicine Hat, they checked car, they had a government deal, it only lasted for 2 and a half years, then they shut down. Then I took some upgrading, I took typing through unemployment, gave me schooling, I had my grade 12. Then I got in the department of highways, these Ashford trucks, so I worked for that for about 10 summers.

Then, when Russia got Bessarabia at that time, they took it away from the Turks, the were good farmers, so they invited these Germans to farm in Bessarabia. That was Alexander I, I think.
