It's Bonspiel Time Again in the Land of Kilts and Bagpipes
A fragmentary column notes curling fever sweeping communities with eight in ten conversations about the sport. It recalls old games, long travels by open cutters and snowbound journeys, and jokes about signs offering tea on the cheap. The piece contrasts wartime practicality with modern glitzy prizes and notes arts access remains centered in larger cities.
Golden Rule approach to curb inflation urged in editorial
The piece argues inflation stems from wage and tax pressures and calls for cooperative action across labor government and industry. It favors reducing spending and taxes, lowering prices, boosting efficiency, and adopting the Golden Rule. It urges citizens to vote with independence and responsibility on Friday amidst a broader call for national unity.
