Wm Iverach attended a Winnipeg hearing last week over the proposed abandonment of the Louise Deloraine railway line. The proceedings reviewed route implications and potential impacts on local communities.
The text urges mass support to retain the Beulsh Halboro and Hamiota Miniota rail lines. It notes a May hearing may occur and stresses public attendance to shape procedure, citing Mr Iverach as a district representative and calling all citizens to join the effort.
The United Grain Growers Limited, after a Winnipeg directors meeting, urged the Canadian Wheat Board to authorize an interim pre-seeding distribution to Western producers who have delivered wheat. The telegram to the Cabinet Wheat Committee requests at least ten cents per bushel, cautioning against delaying until the 1939 crop is cold and noting possible higher payments for lower grades to aid 1940 production.
The writer argues that industrial uses for wheat will not solve farm problems. He cites 18th century bread in Inverness and notes Scotland now consumes Canadian wheat bread. The cure lies in removing trade restrictions to feed hungry people and secure global peace.
