During this same summer new immigrants arrived from our village in the Old Country. There were several young men who had had some education and knew about the “Seech” organization in their homeland. “Seech” was equivalent to the Boy Scouts in Canada. Through their effort and guidance, by 1906 we had our own organization and wore yellow and blue ribbons as emblems of it. On Sundays we would get together to practise marching, play games and would sing as we paraded.
