Wellington recalled: fires floods and local life remembered

A long Wellington reminiscence chronicles a prairie fire that threatened homes, a blizzard that claimed mail carrier John Lamb, the 1898 Red Flash race drama, and community figures like postmaster James Walker. It notes trees planted by W. J. Sisler, rail progress to Beaver, and cherished picnic days with soccer stars and horse races.

The Manitoba Conservative split with Ottawa grows as Premier Duff Roblin faces a cool reception at fiscal talks. Finance Minister Fleming rejects a full dress conference, saying no extra money is available, signaling tension between the province and federal government. The PM later joked about supporting Winnipeg’s bid for the 1963 Pan-American Games.
