Manitoba Budget Debated as Tobacoo Tax Looms
Premier Hoblin presents a surplus budget with $136.2 million expected revenue and $136.1 million expenditures. Opposition leader Gildas Molgat blasts taxes and warns of a looming sales tax while Ed Schreyer and NDP push for stricter department action and broader revenue plans. A $240,000 loan to sustain the San Antonio mine and relief for Bissett prompts mixed reviews amid broader concerns over governance and public spending.

Legion Ambulance Proves Its Worth
The Russell Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion funded an ambulance service after appealing to local governments for help. Each granted 800 dollars, with the balance raised by the Legion, and the ambulance began operation in August 1960. Since then it has made 35 trips to Winnipeg and 60 local trips, reportedly saving at least five lives. The project runs at cost with voluntary drivers and free town housing, offering a model for Roblin communities.
