Ireland Adquires Local Autonomy Debate Sparks Union Win
The piece argues Canada’s home rule model for Ireland and notes Le Pas joining a municipal union as a positive step. It warns that power without conviction stalls progress while reflecting on Middle Ages imagery in a ritual murder case and praises local advertisers for maintaining Le Pas visibility. It also mentions planning a 1916 celebration of Saskatchewan River discovery and endorses English language and institutions while supporting French until death. It ends with praise for a CN Rail inspector and notes car comfort and improvements in facilities.
Spear Points Chronic Failures in Town Affairs
A satirical column riffs on local governance and timing, mocking changes in ownership at the Herald, questions of who runs the town, and the uselessness of winter crossings. It muses on a Cree name for Pas and predicts future absurdities and oddities in civic life.
