Manitoba mines minister eyes new industries boost
Manitoba’s minister of mines J S McDiarmid says natural resources will be developed to bring new industries to the province. In Lethbridge a dead rat found in a railway car caused consternation until workers revealed it as a prank. Rouleau’s Dr V Rondeau sent a 30 000 year old horse tooth to the Royal Ontario Museum for ID, alongside a seven pound mammoth tooth from the same pit. Vancouver’s Older Boys Parliament donated 20 to buy a goat for Japan relief to feed 10 children daily. Minnedosa bylaw would allow police to collect fines on the spot, with court possible if disputes arise.
