Manitoba Agriculture Minister Jim Downey proclaims November 9 to 15 as provincial 4 H Week to honor the movement’s 68 year impact on rural youths. He notes 4 H is a youth organization with support from agricultural and business groups recognizing its value to rural society.
The 4 H movement in Manitoba began with the Roland club in 1913 and now includes 6 200 youth and 2 300 volunteers across 325 clubs. Mr Downey notes the evolution with rural changes and the week showcases club activities planned by members locally, honoring the 2 300 leaders who dedicate time and energy.
Trustees urge Manitoba government in 1981 to add school children safety to hunting brochures and campaigns. They seek DNR action, radio ads, and child friendly hunter education, urging parents to dress children in bright clothing and teach noise to deter accidental shootings.
Manitoba forms a three year task force with the Social Planning Council and the Provincial Health Department to reduce maternal and infant death and handicap. The group will educate the public on healthy pregnancy practices, fight fetal alcohol syndrome and the harms of smoking, improve service delivery, and analyze economic impacts of preventive health programs.
The article profiles a Canadian airman who joined the RAF under false pretenses, served as observer and pilot, and earned fame by shooting down 72 enemy planes in 13 months. Though famed for combat, his landing skills were flawed. his heroism earned the Victoria Cross, the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross.
The narrative recalls King George V at Buckingham Palace and Canada in 1917, then shifts to 1941 with Billy Bishop returning in uniform as Air Vice Marshal of the Royal Canadian Air Force. He and wife Margaret celebrate a family with both children serving. The ending ponders why this World War II is fought when World War I was to end all wars.
