Mackay leads new municipal library board in budget focus
Doug Mackay, appointed chairman of the municipal library board, says the team is strong and ready to act. The board, replacing the former elected system, faces a proposed 1985 budget cut of 20,000 and will seek savings while preserving services. They plan audits, examine insurance, and may centralize payroll duties. Members include Alderman Sam Side, treasurer Ron Fownes, Eleanor Bain, Bonnie Beil, Vince Carl, Dave Pankratz, with Beth Carter secretary and librarian.

Peace River seed producers press Canagrex bid before federal committee
Peace River seed producers urge Canagrex to appear before the Federal Agriculture Committee to document its work in marketing farm products. NFU coordinator Jean Leahy notes the private sector has undercut farmers with poor dockage tests and pricing as Canagrex reported sales of 16 million dollars in its first year and substantial follow-on potential. Federal Minister John Wise responds by wire, promising markets with AgCan and other agencies, while NFU stresses the need for official validation of Canagrex efforts and continued provincial support.
