Residents recount October visits from J H Adams and Ritchie families in Balmoral Portage and Brandon. Remarks on the 1965 harvest finish and reflections on municipal elections. Community reminders urge measured speech and honest conduct as townspeople plan for future work and better living.
Maurice Wright of the Canadian Railway Labor Executives Association urged the CPR to try bingo games and movies to attract riders. He spoke before the Board of Transport Commissioners as the CPR seeks to abandon the Dominion, saying the line lost about 10 million dollars in 1964 and diesel locomotives are needed to move wheat. Wright cited a recent CNR train where bingo was played and asked if the CPR had considered the idea.
Premier Duff Roblin of Manitoba outlined plans for the Prairie Economic Council at a Winnipeg Junior Chamber of Commerce dinner. He urged expanded use of Churchill port, intermeshed development programs, joint tourist and trade promotion offices, and study of transport, education, and incentives to boost regional cohesion and deter outmigration.
Dan Wallace of the Canadian government travel bureau reports tourism brought over 700 million dollars into Canada in the year. Non-Canadian visitors spent 661 million, with annual growth near ten percent. He targets 800 million in 1966 and a billion in 1967, as the bureau operates a 2.567 million travel ad budget, focusing mainly on the United States. A Frankfurt office opens, Paris quarters are being negotiated, and Ontario car travel to Vancouver Island rose 35 percent, described as sensational.
Western Canada reports a 0.5 percent drop in protein content for the 1965 wheat crop, near the long term average. Manitoba Pool Elevators notes thinning kernels, rust, immaturity, frost and mildew as degrading factors. Grading forecasts assign 14 percent Nos. 1 and 2 Northern, 27 percent No. 3 Northern, 37 percent No. 4 Northern, with the rest No. 5 or lower.
The Canadian Wheat Board ordered Manitoba elevator agents to stop shipping damp grain to the Lakehead to prevent terminal clogging. The board will focus on meeting sales commitments and requires more straight grade grain for immediate shipment. Effective immediately until the end of the Great Lakes season, high moisture grain arrival at Port Arthur and Fort William increases clearance issues at terminals.
