Manitoba Park Opens This Summer At Riding Mountain
Manitoba's Riding Mountain area will become Hiding Mountain National Park this summer. The 1148 square mile park spans rough eastern terraces and a wooded tableland with latte lakes sloping to the Assiniboine River. Elevations reach 2700 feet in places, with Riding Mountain's high point above 2200 feet, promising pure dry air and alpine scenery for visitors. The article also criticizes gambling lotteries conducted across Canada and urges authorities to crack down on promoters and participants alike.

Fee idea for Grade 11 repeaters from Manitoba education meeting
Andrew Dloore, High School Inspector, suggested at the Manitoba Educational Association convention in Winnipeg that repeaters in secondary grades, mainly Grade 11, be charged a fee for the second term and possibly for all secondary grades. He said this comes from comparing Grade 11 and 12 pupil records, noting many Grade 11 students merely “parking” at school while Grade 12 attends, often due to the required fee, and that work attitudes shift with fees. The proposal merits careful consideration.
