Sweep Winnings Divided by Family Court Ruling
In a Manitoba case, Justice Israel Nitikman ruled that the family of Barbara Wozney, a four member unit, may share the $100,000 Manitoba Golden Sweepstakes prize. The winning Grey Cup ticket was filled out by Harold Wozney, who also authored two other family tickets. The court ordered Barbara’s and her brother’s shares placed in a trust until their 38th birthdays. The judge said the family intended shared winnings and left the $10,000 seller’s fee to the father’s discretion.

Incompetence Charge Levelled Against MDC Leader Remarks
Izzy Asper says Manitoba Development Corporation lost up to 150000 by mishandling St Jean Sportswear Ltd. MDC turned down a 184000 offer from Earl Stibon Jeans Ltd. to buy the firm, a move Asper says would have recovered loans and kept the company operating. He questions minister Sidney Green as to MDC dealings. The MDC annual report shows about 157000 in loans to the firm, in receivership for over a year.

Former BC Egg and Broiler Marketing Board officials accuse Premier Barrett of directing quotas and pressuring the board, while Stupich says there was persuasion, not improper interference, as BC sought a unified position ahead of Ottawa talks.
