Community papers suffer during postal strike

Rural Alberta route notes harvest progress and roads update
A travel feature along Highway 45 reports good harvest progress and widespread combine work across the south parkland region. It notes occasional hail damage, calls for labor dispute resolution at Lakehead, and recalls nostalgic one room schools while urging cairn placements and community planning for rural schools. Road improvements and municipal graveling are highlighted as roads to Rossman Lake and surrounding areas receive upgrades to support farm movement and school vans. The column promotes the Community Calendar and calls for support for fall fowl suppers and winter sports programs.

Hope avoids past discontent and crippling strikes while Parrot’s militant stance draws criticism. Humility, management and union reform are urged for harmony.
