A Manitoba writer urges that organized labour in The Pas and District form a joint Labour Council. He argues a single body would better represent residents to town councils and school boards, complement service clubs and the Chamber of Commerce, and provide a unified voice on municipal costs and recreation.
Recreation minister Rene Toupin notes six figure lottery profits reaching $600000.00 for Manitoba programs while The Pas eyes a six figure sports complex. Critics question how much of these lottery proceeds stay in The Pas and under what conditions capital grants are available beyond one time allocations like the $20000.00 Winton pool grant.
The piece argues for a free press and journalist source protection. It cites a Mary Tyler Moore episode where Mary goes to jail rather than reveal a source, and discusses ethics in a small town paper The Pas Herald resisting pressure to withhold a story about a council proposal. It insists news must inform the public despite private or official pressure.
Notes from The Pas cover cement price shifts before a strike and questions over quantity discounts. The letter also reports TransAir travel delays to Winnipeg and The Pas, a Robinson Stores move into Otineka Mall, new USA teachers in Kelsey School Division, and Thompson riding delegates to Manitoba PC leadership with Sid Spivak backing.
September forecast cautions Aries to curb spending as distant events may affect partners. Gemini warned against overanalyzing love, while Moonchild hints at avoiding loans. Leo faces a pride driven tug of war and Virgo resists tempting risks. Libra truth telling at others’ expense. Scorpio sees authority changes, Sagittarius expects hard work payoff. Aquarius foresees mysterious experiences, Pisces resolves tight spots with surprising answers.
A Manitoba column notes timing issues for a column, discusses federal boundary changes affecting The Pas and Churchill, CBC remarks on B C Premier Dave Barrett, and critiques intergovernmental blame in Winnipeg. It also mentions local projects at Kin Court and a new pumping station, with reflections on municipal and provincial roles. It ends with a quip about an Alberta mayor contending a local MLA should not run a paper.
