11957 Occupation: Police Officer in Hamilton, ON -- Sergeant by 1967

Hamilton Spectator (ON) -- 10 Jan 1967
BERNIE ARBOUR HONORED
Hamilton's Citizen of the Year is a 45-year old policeman who has helped more than 18,000 boys through police minor baseball and hockey leagues. Sgt Bernard (Bernie) Arbour, honored last night by theAdvertising and Sales Blub of Hamilton, has been directing the Police Minor Sports Association since its inception in 1948. During that time, 18,164 boys have taken aprt in baseball and hockey leagues and 3,196 adults have beeninvolved as coaches and managers. Sgt Arbour has known each of them personally. Not one has been a statistic. When a city boy lost an eye in a baseball accident in 1965, Sgt Arbour arranged for hockey star GordieHowe to visit the boy at this home. It was typical of the interest SgtArbour took ineach of his boys. ManyBecame Professionals -- Many boyswho began in Hamilton minor police league went on to become professional athletes, among them National Hockey League stars Harry Howell, Murray Oliver, Ian Cushenan, and John Miszuk. Atleast 25 members of the Hamilton police force once played under Sgt Arbour on police minor teams. Of the present 19 police cadets, seven participated in the police minorprogram.

Hamilton Spectator (ON) -- 10 Jan 1967 -- by Joe Watkins
Nicest piece of news to come into the sports department in a long time was the first word that Bernie Arbour, who has spent most of his adult life working with kids, had been named Hamilton's Citizen-of-the-Year. The news was taken as a sortof "victory for our side," because Bernie is a familiar figure in the sports office, one of the most dedicated anddeeply-respected men anywhere in sport. Because the police minors havebeen a phase of my sports beat and because I've worked closely with Bernie on many of his athletic enterprises, Bob Hanley turned his space over to me today, for reflections and a round-up of tributes. In the long list of police men since Bill Friday, Sr., who have provided organized sport for boys in this community, none worked harder at the job, nonewas better lovedby the kids than Bernie Arbour. He was and is the father image to a lot of young fellows who didn't have fathers, and he was sports-father to a lot of young fellows whomade it big with the pros --Harry Howell, Murray Oliver, Ron Murphy, Frank Consentino, Russ Jackson, and so many more. Guided 18,000 -- Bernie has watched more than 18,000 youngsters pass through the police minors since the parent Hamilton Police Amateur Athletic Association sponsorship began 10 years ago. Some made it to the top in sports, others are trying to pass on to anothergeneration, as today's coaches, some of the things they learned in Bernie's vast set-up. Still othershave used the police minors' teachings of sportsmanship and teamwork as foundation for their business endeavors. If you were to ask Bernie what has been most gratifying for him, he would tell you that it has been the low incidence of crimeamong youngsters who played in the police minors. Bernie "A Giant" -- Following last night's announcement by the Ad and Sales Club, I contacted some of Bernie's superior officers, fellow-workers, and Police Minor graduates. Here are just a few of the tributes: Chief Constable Leonard G. Lawrence: "They say nobody stands taller than when he stoops to help a child. That makes Bernie Arbour a giant. The great work he has been doing is emphasized by the fact that very few of the policeminor graduates have everbeen in serious trouble." Murray Oliver: "He's one of the finest people I ever met. He and the other fellows in the police minors were very good to me." Ron Howell: "There aren't enough hoursin a day to suit Bernie Arbour. He had his heart aches in the early days because of interference by parents, but he refused to quit. I'm very thankful for what Bernie and the organization did for me.He never turned anyone aside." Bob Hanley: "Bernie is a guy who hasthe patience and dedication to do a lotof things for kids that the rest of us wish we were able to do." Art (Mr. Baseball) Mullen:"He's a dedicated man and he's certainly gone far beyond the line of duty. His work among the youngsters has earned theirrespect toward the police department." Fred Brewer, HPAAA president: "Hedoessuch a fine job that there's no reason for me to interfere with his operation." Sgt. Bill Friday, HPAAA past president and first chairman of the police minors: "Bernie and I worked together in the police minors when it was an off-duty operation. We worked 30 or 40 hours a weekwith the kids after we had completed our regular shifts. There's neverbeen such a thing as an eight-hour day withBernie." Eddie Bush: " A fitting tribute to a dedicated man. You'd be surprised at the number of hourshe spends with the kids at the Forum."

MY FATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN ASHAMED
The Hamilton Redbirds' demands for a new baseball facility or extensiverenovations to Bernie Arbour Stadium received the usual negative support frm Hamilton city hall that minor baseball and hockey teams have received for years. Minor hockey teamsdesperately scrambled for out-of-town ice while Copps Coliseum sits virtually vacant awaiting the next tractor pull or chess tournament. Bernie ArbourStadium, like Copps Coliseum, is rarely used by the tens of thousands of children who play minor sports, even though their parents' taxes built and maintain both facilities. Bernie Arbour Stadium wasnamed after the man who helped found minorsports in Hamilton 20 years ago and dedicated his life to "keeping kids in sports and off the streets."Thousands of Hamilton athletes have spent their winters in hockey rinks and summers in ball diamonds, thanks to Bernie Arbour and hundreds of volunteers who felt our kids were worth spending time with. The sports facilities our kids use today are the same as police minor leagues used three decades ago. How ironic that facilities honoring Vic Copps and Bernie Arbour, legends in Hamilton sports for working with our youth, are not available for our young athletestoday while our politicians prefer to let them sit idle or run down. The Redbirds were a class organization, and my father would have been a Redbird fan, but first he would have been a Hamilton fan, working for our local kids and ashamed of how little support minor sports receivesatcity hall. Letter to the Editor -- Brian Arbour, Hamilton
Forum Facts: Bernard "Bernie" Arbour -- One of a group of outstanding Hamilton sportsmen honored in the naming of public facilities. A Hamilton Policemen. As secretary of the Hamilton Police Minor Athletic Association, he helped guide 18,000boys through minor baseball and hockey leagues. Father of four sons. Died in 1967 at the age of 46 of cancer.

11979 On 15 November 1915, 18-year old Edgie attempted to enlist in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces to serve his country during WWI. At the time, he considered himself a sailor and a laborer. Upon examination, he was noted to be 5'4" and weighed140 pounds with a ruddy complexion, grey eyes, and brown hair. Although he was assigned to the 157th Battalion, Lance Corporal ARBOUR never got very far fromhome. On 7 September 1916, he was determined to be "medically unfit," due to intestinal absorption,which caused him great pain during marching and other activities.

Sailed on the "Julienne" from Quebec to New York, NY, departing on 27 Nov 1917 and arriving on 28 Dec 1917. He worked aboard the ship as a Firefighter and was noted to be 5'5" and 135 lbs.

Upon entering the US at Detroit, MI, on 14 May 1925, he was noted to be5'5" with a medium complexion, brown hair, and grey eyes. He had $165 in his pocket and planed to relocate permanently to the US.

In Nov 1933, Edgie was apparently the informant upon the death of Violet's mother:
FITZGERALD, Christena, f, 17 November 1933, 66 years, Ontario, cause - cerebral hemorrhage, burial 20 November 1933 Mt St Louis, d/o John O Harra & Honora Moran, both born Ireland, infm Edgie Arbour of Detroit, son-in-law, Medonte Twp (Simcoe Co.) 030558-33

After losing two wives, Edgie moved to the United States and settled inthe State of Michigan prior to 1951, as confirmed by the Social Security Death Index. Before this time, he seems to have married for a third time, as he and his wife lived in Detroit, Michigan, at the time of hisfather's death in September 1945.

Bio from Facebook 13 Feb 2010:
13 Feb 1897 -- Herman Ludger ARBOUR - known as Edgie - was born in Waubaushene, ON, as the 4th of 7 children born to Edmond ARBOUR and AlcuineLEBLANC. On 15 November 1915, 18-year old Edgie attempted to enlist inthe Canadian Expeditionary Forces toserve his country during WWI. At the time, he considered himself a sailor and a laborer. Upon examination, he was noted to be 5'4" and weighed 140 pounds with a ruddy complexion, grey eyes, and brown hair. Although he was assigned to the 157th Battalion, Lance Corporal ARBOUR never got very far from home. On 7 September 1916, he was determined tobe "medically unfit," due to intestinal absorption, which caused him great pain during marching and other activities; he was released from his obligation. On 31 Jul 1918, Edgie married a young Swiss stenographer, Irma Delores FISHER, who tragically diedjust 3 months later when her heart gave out after having pneumonia fora week. Not to be deterred, Edgie married again. This time his bridewas alocal woman, Margaret Violet FITZGERALD, whom he married on 23 Oct 1924 in Midland, ON. Shortly thereafter, the young couple decided to make the move to the US, as other ARBOURs had done before them.Upon entering the US at Detroit, Michigan, on 14May 1925, Edgie was noted to be 5'5" with a medium complexion, brown hair, and grey eyes. He had $165 inhis pocket and planned to relocate permanently to the US. It is unknown if they had any children. In1937, Violet was buried in a grave inSt Margaret's Catholic Cemetery in Midland. What circumstances brought her there, we do not know. Once more, Edgie decided to marry; however, we know nothing of this woman, except that Edgie is noted as being married at the time of his father's death in Sep 1945. Having left his sailing days behind him when he moved inland to Michigan, Edgie took up the machinist's trade, where he seems to have worked from 1924 until his retirement. Edgie died in Michigan in Nov 1995, at the age of 98.

Born in Waubaushene, ON, Cecil "Manley" ARBOUR was the 2nd of 2 children of mill hand William Henri ARBOUR and his 2nd wife Ellen-Jane DUPUIS. It is unclear if Manley ever married or had children. On 16 March 1931, Manley was working as an auto assembler when hetraveled to the US via the port of Niagara Falls, NY.

11984 On 23 Aug 1935, Cecilia arrived in Liverpool, England, aboard the "Andania" operated by the Cunard White Star line, having sailed 3rd class from Montreal, QC. She was headed to 2 Main Street, Bangor Down. The strange thing is that by this time, Cecilia should have already been married yet she was reported as being single and still used the ARBOUR surname. Perhaps the marriage date we have is in error.

On 06 Sep 1935, Cecilia sailed from Belfast, Ireland, aboard the "Athenia." She arrived in Quebec City, QC, on 15 Sep 1935, and was returning to her sister Alma's house at 1 Berkely St, Toronto, ON.

Beryl was coming from her fatherWalter's home at 78 Muncaster Street in Barrie, ON, and was headed forParkfield, TN. Passage was paid byher mother and she carried no money.Interestingly, Beryl intended to "reside" with her "friend" Capt Arthur R Giddings in Parkfield. She was noted tobe 5'6" with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. It is unclear whether Capt Giddings was serving in the US or Canadian military, as nothing else can be found about him on either side of the border.

Perhaps Beryl married Capt Giddings, as she later used his last name inreferring to herself as Beryl Giddings.

On 30 Dec 1922, Beryl Giddings, now aged 22-years old and widowed, arrived in Buffalo, NY. She once again came from her father Walter's home, which was now located in Iroquois Falls, ON. As a studentnurse, she washeaded for Fordham Hospitalin New York City, NY, and had no idea how long she planned to be there. This time, she was noted to be 5'5" with amedium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes; she weighed 145 pounds. Beryl had $50 in her purse.

Here is a bit of history about Park Field, TN, from http://themilitaryzone.com/bases/nsa_midsouth.htmlon 24 Aug 2009.
Naval Support Activity Mid-South - Millington, TN
Naval Support Activity Mid-South has a long and rich history, one whichcan be traced to the birth of military aviation itself and to our country's proudest moments. This site was originally established in November 1917 as Park Field, an Army SignalCorps Aviation School used to train pilots for service with the Allied Forces during WWI. By February 1918, flight operations were in full swing, butonly until November of thatyear when the Armistice was signed. Two days after the signing, trainingoperations were ceased. At that time the airfield began pioneering airmail routes throughout Tennessee and the surrounding states. In March1920, the government officially purchased Park Field. However, the airfield continuedto decline until itwaslittle more than a storage area for aircraft andparts. Ironically, the Stock Market "Crash" of 1929 breathed new life into Park Field. During the 1930s the field served as a transient camp for unemployed workers. In 1937 the Resettlement Administration took over the land and developed model farms used to demonstratewhat could be achieved with correctly managed land. Park Field remained under this agency's jurisdiction until the outbreak of WWII. Just as the onset of WWI had given Park Fielditsbirth in 1917, the declaration of war on 8 December 1941, had similar results, heralding the arrivalof naval aviation to the Memphis area. In February of 1942, the Navy Shore Station Development Boardrecommended approval of a reserve aviation baseon the former site of Park Field. On 15 September 1942, the Naval Reserve Aviation Base was officially commissioned on the south side of the station. On 1 January 1943, the Naval Reserve Aviation Base was renamed Naval Air Station Memphis. However, in April 1949, the base's functions completely changed, and a new Naval Air Station was established, different in both scope and function. The new NAS assumed logistic support for all thecommands at Navy Memphis, except the Naval Hospital. The boundaries included all Navy property on both sides of the Millington-Arlington Road (Navy Road). NAS Memphis continued its support and logistics role for some 50 years. The 1993 BaseRealignment and Closure Commission directed the realignment of Naval Air Station Memphis. NAS Memphis was redesignated Naval Support Activity Memphis 30 September 1995. The name was changed to Naval Support Activity Mid-South 1 October 1998,tomore closely identify the base's mission requirements and to reflecttheNavy's approach to regionalization.

Very little can be found about Fordham Hospital, but it is thought to have been connected with Fordham University, which operated a medical school at one point that had closed sometime before 1905. Fordham University has several campuses located around New York City, one of which began in the Fordham neighborhood area of the Bronx, according to wikipedia on 24 Aug 2009.

A record of an Arthur Ray GIDDINGS has been found. Is he our Arthur? Hewas born in Murray River, PEI, on 09 Jan 1896, to John Thomas GIDDINGS. On 08 Jun 1915, he signed is Attestation Paper for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. At the time he was asingle clerk and his father now lived in Fernie, BC. He swore his oath of service on 17 Aug 1915, at Vernon Camp. An additional paper was completed and signed the following year on 11 Mar 1916. He reported his name to be Arthur Raymond GIDDINGS andsaid he was born in Murray Harbor, PEI, on 09 Jan 1896. His father must have died by this point as he reported his next of kin not as his father but as his mother Jessie GIDDINGS, who still lived in Fernie, BC. The single man considered himself ajournalist when he renewed his oathin Fernie, BC.

In any event, Ena was reported to be 5' 1 1/12" with a fair complexion, brown hair, and brown eyes. She had $2 in her pocketbook. Ena seems to have left young Helen in the care of her mother-in-law.

11999 On a répété souvent, et peut-être avec raison, que les habitants des faubourgs de St-Omer parlaient entr'eux un langage que seuls à peu près ils pouvaient comprendre : ancien jargon celtique, mélangé de wallon et d'allemand, qui ne se trouve différent de celui qu'on parle en Flandre parce
qu'il n'a pas suivi comme lui les mêmes changements. (1) Selon Pellison , ce peuple ne parle ni flamand, ni wallon, mais il a un langage qui lui est propre et qu'on nomme " Bésin ", (2) qui n'est point entendu à St-Omer, ni aux environs. En effet quoiqu'ils demeurent aux portes d'une ville de France, quoique chaque jour ils viennent dans les marchés de St-Omer, on remarque encore qu'ils savent très-imparfaitement le français, et même qu'ils se soucient fort peu de l'apprendre. Cette observation s'applique plus particulièrement aux Lyzelards, car depuis la révolution de 1789, la langue française n'est plus inconnue des Hautponnais. on prétend cependantque leur idiome s'écrit exactement comme le flamand deGand, d'Ypres et des autres villes de Belgique. Malgré les modifications que les siècles ont insensiblement fait subir à la population d'une partie de nos faubourgs, le flamand y est toujours resté la langue dominante ; cependant avec lesétrangers, ils parlent quelquefois un français vicié par une mauvaise prononciation. Enfin, on peut dire que leur langage diffère assez, pour la prononciation surtout, de celui qu'on désigne par les noms de bas-allemand, hollandais ou flamand, pour que les habitants de Lyzel et les Flamands proprement dits ne puissent s'entendre facilement qu'après avoir passé quelque temps ensemble. On voit par là qu'il est au flamand ce que le patois des paysans de nos provinces est aufrançais. On y rencontre aussi beaucoup de mots allemands et un petit nombre de mots anglais ; quelques uns sans aucune différence de prononciation. On laisse à décider lequel de ces langages se rapproche le plus du saxon, leur source commune.
" L'étude des dialectes, idiomes et patois, cette étude en apparence si stérile et si peu attrayante, offre pourtant à ceux qui s'y livrent, beaucoup de charmes et des résultats plein d'intérêt et d'utilité. L'histoire d'un peuple, ses moeurs, son génie, ses habitudes, se retrouvent pour ainsi dire tout entiers dans sa langue. "
" Comment se fait-il que dans les cantons de Bailleul, Cassel et Hazebrouck, on parle flamand, tandis que ces cantons sont enclavés de toutes parts dans des contrées où le peuple parle wallon ? " (3) Cette observation est non moins justement applicable aux foubourgs de St-Omer et à quelques lieux environnants.
Les étymologies des noms d'un grand nombre de communes de l'arrondissement de St-Omer prouvent effectivement que la langue flamande y étaient jadis en grand usage, et il n'est pas inutile de rappeler ici que les sentances de nos magistratsse prononçaient encore dans le 16ème siècle en cette langue sur le doxal, et que ce ne fut qu'à partir de 1593 qu'elles se publièrent en français.
Les patois s'en vont... Cependant, comme leur vivacité et leur énergie sont parfois intraduisibles dans le langage du beau monde, il n'est pas inutile dans chaque localité, a observé avec raison l'habile et spirituel éditeur des Archives du Nord, de publier des livrets qui serviront plus tard de jalons aux lexicographes futurs, dans leurs recherches sur la grandeur et la décadence des...patois.(4) selon le président de l'académie de Dijon, (5) ce serait une bibliographieassez curieuse que celle qui offrirait la liste raisonnée de tous les ouvrages en dialecte vulgaires ou patois. La collection des mémoires des antiquaires de France renferme une infinité d'articles sur les patois, plusieurs entr'autres surcelui des Hautponnais.
La France littéraire a remarqué avec intérêt les travaux déjà faits sur cette matière par cette société savante, et a regretté qu'elles ne les eût pas continués dans son tome X. (6) A cette occasion , cette intéressante revue parle de nos faubourgs comme ayant été occupés par les Saxons qui marchaient à la conquête de l'Angleterre, opinion que nous avons déjà discutée dans le chapitre de l'Origine.
Vers 1807, l'on entreprit au ministère de l'intérieur une collection de divers idiomes ou patois de France. Pour sujet de comparaison, on choisit la parabole de l'Enfant Prodigue, à cause de sa juste étendue et de la simplicité de la plupart de ses expressions. Le 13 mars et le 23 juin 1810, M. de Montalivet, ministre de l'intérieur, demanda des renseignements très-étendus sur les habitants de nos faubourgs ; ils lui furent adressés
par l'administration locale, le 27 avril et le 23 août suivants. Le 11 octobre de la même année, l'autorité supérieure sollicita le complément de l'aperçu curieux déjà produit sur cet objet. Ce complément fut communiqué le 25 du même mois.
Au commencement de 1820, la société royale des antiquaires de France demanda des éclaircissements sur le même sujet. M. le maire de St-Omer adressa à cet effet le 26 janvier de ladite année, une chanson flamande contenant la description des occupation des Hautponnais : " J'aurais voulu la faire mettre en musique, dit-il alors, pour donner une idée plus juste de la mesure des syllabes, je n'ai pu y parvenir; au reste, cela n'est pas strictement necéssaire, non plus que d'indiquer la prononciation des notes. Le jargon de nos Lyzelards n'étant pas une langue écrite, on a représenté les sons en suivant l'ortographe du flamand proprement dit, de sorte que tout flamand la lit de la manière qu'elle doit être lue. "
" C'est M. Van Troyen, père, qui a eu la complaisance de faire ce petit travail : il s'est fait chanter plusieurs fois les différents couplets, et une fois assuré du son exact et de la division par ligne, il se l'est fait dicter mot à mot ; il a ensuite fait la traduction. "
" Quant à la parabole de l'Enfant Prodigue, je n'ai pu l'avoir écrite dans le patois du faubourg, parce que les natifs ne savent pas écrire le jargon qu'ils parlent, et que M. Van Troyen, (7) le seul que j'aie trouvé capable du premier travail, c'est à dire d'écrire et de traduire la chanson, est mort au moment où il aurait pu s'occuper de nous fournir cette parabole.
M. Siméon, préfet du département, (8) donna communication de la notice sur les usages et le langage des habitants du Haut-Pont, ainsi que que de la chanson flamande, aux antiquaires de France qui insérèrent ces pièces que nous avons signalées à la fin de notre chapitre d'introduction, dans le tome 3 de leurs mémoires (1821, pages 357 à 370). - ( La traduction de la parabole de l'Enfant Prodigue, en patois populaire de la ville de St-Omer, par M. Aubin, bibliothécaire,envoyée en 1810 par M. Wattringue, maire, se trouve à la page 469 du tome 6 des mêmes mémoires. 1824).
L'érudit auteur de Notre-Dame de St-Omer a observé justement que, quoique la ville fût toute française de langage, les Lyzelards surtout ne parlaient que la langue flamande, et qu'il en était résulté souvent la nécessité de traduirele procès-verbal et les paroles adressées au peuple dans les deux idiomes.
Dans une chanson vulgaire, le voyage de Gilles Dindin aux Grandes-Indes à Dunkerque, se trouvent ces lignes moqueuses sur le langage des Hautponnais:
"J'avais toujours envie de rire
En entendant parler flamand ;
C'est un si drôle de patois !
Ils parlent tous ensemble...
Cette vieille et joyeuse chanson dont nous aurons occasion de reparler, contient quarante-cinq stances de huit rimes ; (9) l'on a dit avec vérité que " plus d'un antiquaire avait trouvé dans de vieilles chansons, dans des complaintes ou soties, des preuves ou des matériaux qui avaient été négligés par les historiens. " (10)
Le Messager des sciences et des arts de la Belgique a annoncé la publication d'un essai historique sur le chant national des Belges, suivi de chansons notées, dont les airs remontent au temps classique de leur musique nationale ; on ne saurait trop encourager une entreprise qui tend à consacrer les traditions les plus antiques. - " Ces chansons de circonstances ont été pour la plupart oubliées avec les événements qui les avaient fait naître, et il n'en est resté jusqu'à nos jours que de faibles vestiges dans les chants populaires des campagnes. "(11)
Quant à la chanson flamande, insérée dans le tome 3 des antiquaires de France, elle renferme, neuf stances de neuf lignes chacune ; en voici la dernière avec le texte flamand :
