The Abbotspord Post advertises weekly journal notices, requesting applications and listing advertising rates. The notice references a government related matter and local post publication details with rate terms and dates.
Fragmentary 1978 Ontario style notices discuss women labor and fruit picking, voter registration reforms, and government plans to take over the P G Development Company assets. The piece also questions food distribution costs, rail and canal assets, and canned salmon pricing amid wartime pressures, urging more economical distribution methods.
The piece discusses government actions involving Foley, Welch and Stewart, the hoped expedited road completion to Fort George, and looming rail expansions. It notes a 50 mile link to Ashcroft, estimated at about 42 000 dollars per mile, and references political and regional implications including Vancouver Island and Delta.
Figures quoted show it costs two-fifths of a cent to bring a unit of cheap salmon to Winnipeg and more than nine coal units to move from the bank to the rail siding. The suggestion is that the national mission could devise a more efficient method of this social distribution in a period of peace.
A driven account via Mr Howden of Yukon origin describes Japanese forces near Vladivostok and staged German plots to seize water routes and rail lines. He alleges shells, ammunition, autos, and rails piled near the harbor while Allied troops prepare to defend Petrograd and the wider front. Trotsky is mentioned as a former New York waiter.
The Berliner Tageblatt discusses postwar polygamy, citing British MPs and noting reports of no official German state support. It mentions groups like the Society for the Regeneration of the Race and the new Order of Vemp lacs. The piece argues some aim to boost birthrates via large-scale breeding measures and notes sensational claims alongside social anecdote.
