In a letter from W W Fraser as president, Manitoba Pool Elevators report that livestock industry representatives sought to pressure delegates on grain transportation subsidy payment methods. After three weeks, only three of eighty delegates supported reexamining policy, twelve others voiced general support, and one district meeting unanimously backed the original position. Delegates reaffirmed the policy first set nearly two years ago.

Telephone betting boosts Manitoba horse industry gains
Peter Warren reports that telephone betting debuted at Assiniboia Downs this year amid skepticism. About 25,000 dollars are wagered per race with 80 percent paid back, more than typical lottery returns. The TAB system requires deposits, code names, and recordings monitored by Agriculture. Rural residents gain access but cannot bet on certain harness days. The piece notes economic value and broader industry impact with tourism and jobs.
