Premier Campbell's New Year's Message review of 1955
Premier Douglas Campbell reflects on Manitoba's 1955 year economy with buoyant production yet setbacks in some sectors. Cereal crops and wheat harvesting were strong while livestock dairy and poultry output rose toward 40 percent of agricultural revenue. Oil development grew rapidly, producing wells at about one daily, with forecast higher outputs than 1954. Visitors and tourism set a record, and manufacturing rose after a slow start. He extends best wishes for 1956.
