Dockyard punctuality and Cup Match, 1937 style (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the fifth in the ongoing series on the life of 17-year-old George James Dixon Jr, a Dockyard apprentice who arrived in Bermuda during 1937. With Easter now behind us, we settled right into our new lifestyle, a free and easy one to say the least.

They strongly oppose this move as they feel it would escalate medical costs, heighten patient risks and degrade the quality of healthcare, and, lest I fo

This is the story of George James Dixon’s arrival in Bermuda as a boy in the 1930s, continued from Saturday’s edition Our water requirements were a perpetual headache as it was my job to pump it up to the gravity tank located in the roof space — all by hand pump. The water was drawn from the underground tank outside up to a galvanised tank on the roof, which allowed the gravity of the water to flow down into the house.
