The first issue delivers a neoful and entertaining paper aimed at serving the community. It pledges improved service and usefulness, with local interest items and continued stories to keep teachers informed about happenings in other localities.
The note comments on Roblin’s renewed public presence after a hiatus and its potential impact. It highlights Roblin as a junction of two highways, predicting increased traffic and population interest. The piece contemplates provincial trade board activity guiding future local development.
The text cites eight hundred thousand auto casualties and twenty seven thousand deaths in the United States last year, compares them to World War casualties, and urges renewed determination to prevent such losses. It then shifts to Roblin's seventeenth annual Bonspiel, praising attendance, weather, ice, and the banquet hosted by the curling club with remarks from Dr. Gilbury and others, highlighting hospitality and sportsmanship.
Roblin residents attended LCB A convention in Winnipeg and heard updates on egg and poultry pools, health nurse postings, and short courses at Manitoba Agricultural College. Local clubs hosted concerts, a literary society event, and a bazaar while farmers viewed Good Seed Car demonstrations.
Local notes report residents traveling to Edmonton Winnipeg and back, a charity sale planned at Craig and Tom Store, upcoming concerts in Davis Hall and Monday April 1 event by the Anglican W A, bonspiel reports from Roblin, and Irish themed entertainment at Davis Hall with sketches and dances. Community members include Mr Lawrence Vipond Mrs J W Eddy Mr James McEwen Milton Stinson Albert Johnson Miss B Appel Joseph Dickie C P Burt Jay Dimit Lindsay McLean W Hampson Rev McConnel Miss J Craig and Miss McConnell.
