World News In Pictures Highlights Local Wheat Champion
Ricky Sharpe, 12, becomes the youngest world champion in Royal Winter Fair wheat contests after growing his own grain on his Munson Alberta farm. Trophies accompany his title King of Wheat as coverage notes other World News In Pictures items. Fred Linton, ex secretary to John Grierson, is reportedly detained in Reno charged with illegal entry. Freda, once named in a spy probe, disappeared then returned to Canada and surrendered while married and pregnant, with no espionage charge pressed. She had gone to Reno seeking a divorce.
