Last Wednesday’s council meeting spotlighted welfare bounds as a mother and eight children, two polio victims, live in a three room house with another family. Despite efforts since June to relocate them, and hospital costs rising, authorities debate and red tape hinder immediate help while the two polio children receive some aid from a separate society. The piece argues for urgent, fair action regardless of personalities.
Professor George Russell warned the Pas Chamber of Commerce that persuading southern areas to accept northern potentialities is hard. He cited pressure groups pursuing self gains and argued the country cannot waste time on such issues as northern growth lags behind yesterday. He noted mines pulp mills and power projects face labor demands and slower pacing by northern labor leaders.
The piece argues labor exploitation fears and the lure of a stake in northern work. It notes 48 hour processing for winter works, clearing projects in Winnipeg and Ottawa, and predicts 1,991 men employed with 104 840 man days. Major project is sewer work in Mystery Lake Thompson with over 63000 value.
A letter from A. B. Geddes laments the town’s leadership and building committee. He accuses officials of favoritism and poor permit practices, noting blunders that attract newspaper attention. He denies issues apply to The Pas and suggests the problems belong to Big Eddy.
