Ghana enters the 1960s aiming to lead Africa toward national identity with Kwame Nkrumah at the helm. He envisions a Union of African States and plans an all-African conference of political parties to forge a common approach to independence. Domestically, Ghana moves from monarchy toward republic with Queen Elizabeth as Commonwealth head, while continuing ambitious five year plans driven by Finance Minister Gbademah.

Alberta Social Credit criticizes federal crop aid plan
EDMONTON CP A Social Credit member of Alberta legislature William Patterson in his maiden speech condemns the federal government for forcing on provinces a plan aiding farmers who left crops in the fields after an early snowfall. He notes many farmers harvested moisture laden feed grain to feed livestock while the cash crop remained buried. The joint program limits aid to farmers who harvested less than half their crop and pays up to 600 dollars, with most eligible around 300. Other speakers in the debate include William Tomyn Cornelia Wood R H Jamieson and Glen Johnston.

Commission Moves On to B C CPR and Alberta Tangle
The Royal Commission on Transportation wrapped up hearings in Edmonton on the prairie export grain issue tied to the Crow’s Nest Pass agreement of 1897. CPR and Alberta sparred over freight rates with Jan Sinclair opposing J J Frawley, as railways seek subsidy to boost rates while farmers resist. Western farmers insist current rates stay and blame broader railway losses on unprofitable trains and lines. A final Western session heads to Victoria for views before commissioners conclude their trip.
