Winners in parade and contests included Russell Transfer, Dale's Men's Wear, Elks and Royal Purple, and local youths in novelty events. New features included an amateur contest and mini-bike races, while livestock entries were down though quality remained high. Plans for next year and Manitoba Women’s Institute activities were also outlined, along with a CMHA fundraising and new Daily Hello service proposal for Russell.

Millwood Pool 50th Celebrated With Tiny Memorial Cairn
Millwood Pool No 90 marked its 50th anniversary with a four foot concrete replica unveiled by Frank Bily. The ceremony coincided with Millwood Annual Picnic on Sunday June 29. A brass plaque bears the original 1929 Board of Directors names as Manitoba Pool Elevators staff distributed tribute scrolls to senior members. The community recalls early struggles with open market and Northern Grain Company until 1957 upgrades and 1972 dismantling, leaving a cairn as Manitoba’s first memorial of its kind.
