Letters of peace and Gulf crisis call for restraint
An editor letters section argues against war in the Gulf, urging peaceful avenues and global fraternity. It calls for intercession to protect Kuwait rights, prays for leaders, and requests nonviolent solutions from governments. The note is followed by 1991 Manitoba event planning details for the MSOS 55 Plus Games and a nurses union strike statement urging support for wage and condition improvements.
