Electing a Government in South Australia 1968
The South Australian election yielded an ordinary result with roughly 54 per cent first preferences for the Government and 43 per cent for the Opposition, leaving Dunstan short of a working majority. The outcome hinges on Independent Mr Stott and the rural-urban voting split under an electoral system favoring country seats. The Labor Party faces continuing Legislative Council resistance, complicating a second Dunstan term.

Canada's Peace Corps dream collapses amid scandal
Canada’s Company of Young Canadians, once praised as a cross between the Police Corps and VISTA, has waned. Despite plans for 10,000 volunteers domestically and 1,000 abroad by 1964, scandals, protests, and Communist allegations derailed the project. Only about 100 trained volunteers remain, with glare on hippie-led demonstrations and strained government support.
