Beach erosion and water trouble hit Delta area
The Delta beach vanishes under rising Lake Manitoba water as residents question who governs the march area. Councillor Yuill warns northeasterly winds could worsen soil loss and threaten the Delta road. Local tales include a beaver washed out to the lake and a mallard nest in a tree, while Mary Simpson joins the National Red Cross Circle editorial board and tours the newsroom with students. The Great Canadian Wagon Train returns to Gladstone. Jon and Barbara Houghton resume their westward journey toward Alberta, facing a long road ahead.
