A Canadian Wheat Board study presented in Parliament calls for an integrated wheat marketing system with production controls to prevent large carryovers, limits on farm storage, and a coordinated structure of farmers, government, and transportation. It advocates targets by grade and period, a policy body, and improved management including a bonus system for agents and carrier opportunities.

The
Litter-scooping device could clean highways
Jerry Fleming, a former Wenatchee rancher, touts a $30,000 garbage gulping litter lift mounted on a van truck. A snake like scoop over a ditch collects bottles and debris, dumping it into a chute and into the truck. Maneuvered with a military control stick and wired to a bomb release trigger, the device aims to cut roadside litter labor by about 40 percent as Washington state highways officials examine its potential.

Manitoba unitary school bill cleared second reading
Manitoba Legislature gave second reading and in principle approval to a bill that simplifies steps to establish unitary school divisions while drawing criticism over alleged discrimination against non unitary divisions. The measure would let a unitary board govern all local schools, with grants favoring unitary divisions and a petition to cabinet by majority trustees enabling setup. Jake Froese condemned the bill, calling it a black mark against the NDP government and urging parity in education funding for non unitary divisions. The proposed change would raise provincial basic education grants to 76 percent for unitary divisions and extend per pupil grants selectively, prompting debate over equity and centralization.

Word On Assistance Still Awaited for Fishermen in Manitoba
Resources Minister Sidney Green told the Legislature that Ottawa has not yet outlined the form of aid for fishermen affected by mercury pollution. He noted federal Fisheries Minister Jack Davis may reject compensation without a maintenance program like Manitoba's $380,000 works program this winter, while about $2 million was previously shared by federal and provincial governments after a 1970 Lake Winnipeg fishing ban. Green warned it would be unthinkable if the federal government does not participate.
