Lake Grain Rates Great Lakes ships face talk
Dr E C Hope told the royal commission in Ottawa that shipping companies may be colluding to fix grain rates on shipments from the Lakehead. He discussed the matter with an official from the combines investigation branch but warned no plan of inquiry is confirmed. He opposed measures restricting lake ships trading between Canadian ports claiming fear of Britain upsetting price structures. Justice W Spence noted evidence does not prove lack of competition among lake carriers. The GM Canada strike drags into its 18th week with 17,000 workers idle across five plants as negotiations shift to core issues. Prime Minister Eden plans two major speeches addressing living costs and domestic and international concerns amid inflation worries.

Completion of D M C C Project In Sight
Finance chair J A Ringstrom reported at the D M C C annual meeting that by Oct 31 1955 $242 184 had been spent on the Dauphin Memorial and Community Centre project since 1947. Federal grants total $60 000 with six town grants of $19 419 plus a one mill levy for old fair grounds title. He said remaining funds needed to finish are about $58 000, with future grants and town payments offsetting most of the gap and that raising $31 000 in four years plus town payments and a $10 000 grant would leave about $7 000 to cover. He called the outlook not impossible.
