Floods, damns and droughts hit Manitoba communities
Miniota United W.M.5S met at Mrs. A Spalding's home with ten attendees. Reports from the Treasurer Mission Band and Stranger's secretaries were given. The Easter leaflet by Mrs. Nellie McClung was used. A Massey Harris weed control demo was postponed. Flood concerns dominated discussion as Red River and Assiniboine rising, with 12 deaths and extensive crop and property losses. The bridge risk and road closures added to already tense conditions. Cross aid has been deployed in Emerson and nearby areas.
