The Roblin Housing Co-op asks federal and provincial governments to fund a new seniors housing complex in Roblin. Residents say rural Manitoba needs such housing and long for better downtown access and low maintenance living. The piece questions why funds favor Winnipeg and calls for a decision in the upcoming fiscal year.
Dear Editor argues the Right to Life Annual Hike For Life in Roblin should continue to influence public opinion. The writer warns of future evils from abortion on demand and cites Nazi Germany to condemn ends justifying means.
A reader cites H. Everett Koop's claim that Nazi Germany warped medical ethics to serve financial goals, beginning with the aged and disabled and spiraling to mass murder of Jews. The letter condemns the perversion of science and ethics under Hitler and warns of complicity in life and death decisions.
Sid Gordon and Doug Maley discuss turning farm commodities into value added products for Western Canada. They compare local wheat flows to U S markets, noting Canada’s small share in breakfast foods bread beer and cookies while U S demand for pasta grows with 1.5 billion annual value.
Prairie Perspective argues for shifting from pure growing to processing to add value. It cites WDF funded projects across Alberta Saskatchewan and Manitoba and highlights Delsa Foods at Delisle where 16 farmers invested 5000 each to start a mustard plant now turning out packaged foods from coast to coast. Persistence and initiative, plus available help, drive local innovation.
The Roblin Review thanks staff for last week's housing report and announces a new survey form circulation. Forms are available from board members or the municipal offices to gather sufficient replies promptly.
Connie Bartlett and Margaret Spencer of Snow Lake Manitoba defend the Roblin Agricultural Society against criticism of the 75th Anniversary Fair. They challenge the tone of a letter urging volunteers to be “slapped silly” and defend the fair as longstanding and resilient.
Manitoba legislators return to work amid expectations of an early election. The Liberal and NDP campaigns focus on GST, environment, and day care while the Tory record is praised for stability as talks on Final Offer Selection loom.
