A narrator observes thousands of ants emerging from dozens of anthills in a short period, performing mass mating flights. Dragonflies prey as hundreds of winged ants launch, many sacrificing to let others escape. Ground workers guard the winged ants while the swarms form, test wings, and take to the wind despite occasional crashes.
Margaret Ballard enjoys a family gathering at her Roblin residence for her 92nd birthday with son Frank and Donna Ballard of Edmonton, daughter Gladys from Dauphin, grandson Bradley, and relatives from Swan River. Lennice Langan is in Roblin Hospital after Winnipeg surgery.
