It notes archival neglect and the need for local history projects, while recapping winter 1952 sports in Rossburn Angusville and Oakburn. Curling crests and a folk school advertise the era's smalltown activity.

Revisions to Canada Post rates spark old memo reflections
Reggie recalls 2 cent stamps and predicted 26 cent letters ten years ahead. The column notes Canada post rate rose to 30 cents by 1981 and questions surcharging unused 17 cent stamps. A Youth Parliament member in Winnipeg denounces right to strike and proposes profit sharing as a fix. A government ad explains the 30G rate, with one reader joking G stands for Gouge.
