This week, Kate has the story of one of Haliburton County's many characters - R.H. Baker who was the one time owner of the Haliburton Echo newspaper. Plus, Paul has the rise and fall of Canada's only Canadian-born boxing heavyweight champ, Tommy Burns - the Little Giant of Hanover. At only 5'7" and 175 lbs he was an unlikely heavyweight who beat opponents who were many inches taller and much heavier. But in this, and a number of other ways, he was pioneer and ahead of his time.

This week, Kate has the story of the significance of Fall and agricultural fairs in a rural community and how they became popular during pioneer times. Plus, Paul has the story behind women stepping up to work outside the home in support of the WW2 effort, and how Canada's Ronnie the Bren Gun Girl, who was a real person, came to symbolize all her sisters working in factories.
