Conservatives await Sterling Lyon in Manitoba leadership
Conservative caucus whip Bud Sherman said potential candidates for the Manitoba Conservative party leadership may wait for former attorney general Sterling Lyon to decide before entering the race scheduled for February 26 and 27. Sherman said he would not run if Lyon does and noted one or two others might share that view. Lyon, 49, a former MLA for Fort Garry and ex-attorney-general, denied being a candidate and said he had not discussed Sherman's remarks with him. If Lyon runs and wins, Sherman offered to give up his Fort Garry seat to gain entry to the Legislature.

Welfare Resources At Limits In Winnipeg
Welfare director R. Hooper told the Winnipeg welfare committee on Thursday that rising caseloads may force a request for provincial funds this year. December figures show an increase of 34 percent from the prior year, with over 8,500 people on assistance versus about 6,500 in December 1969. Hooper said resources are taxed to the limit now and the number could rise further this winter.
