Cutler urges Museum Here

Professor Scientist Tells of Pre-History Life on Western Plains

Intimate details of the lives of giant reptiles who were probably the most prominent citizens of the Red Deer Valley, Alberta, 4000000 years ago, were revealed by Prof WE Cutler, FGS, in a lecture at the University of Manitoba Friday night.

Prof Cutler leaves Winnipeg Monday for German East Africa, where he will lead an expedition seeking the remains of dinosaurs who lived there aeons ago.

In his discourse the speaker deplored the lack of a provincial museum for Manitoba. Rare and valuable fossils he said, were continually being discovered in the province, and the museums of the United States were getting them.

Vegetarians saurian of the period about 4000000 BC were described by the Professor, who used numerous slides in illustrations.  His investigations revealed the fact that walnut, oak, fig and sassafrass once flourished abundantly in Alberta.
