Northern Manitoba road debate and stalled regional development
The piece traces a long battle over transportation northward from the rail era to the present road projects into Flin Flon and Thompson. It contrasts Liberal, Conservative, and CCF-NDP stances, praises private initiative for development, and criticizes CBC policy and lack of marketing, packing plants, or live TV, arguing for private enterprise over government-led socialism.

Red Cross Centenary Appeal Highlights Regional Impact
The centenary message recalls the Red Cross growth from battlefield relief to broad disaster aid. In Manitoba during 1962 the Blood Transfusion Service gave almost 50 000 bottles free, saving about 1.25 million dollars, and 6 000 articles were loaned to Sickroom Loan Cupboard borrowers. About 121 families lost homes received aid, with 6 900 bedding items issued and temporary housing provided. Over 20 000 Manitobans joined Water Safety classes and drowning deaths reached a record low. Volunteers urge public generosity to sustain the service.
