Dominion Experimental Farms Service focuses on rust resistant wheat at the Winnipeg Rust Research Laboratory. A separate item notes a Berlin under ground city nearing completion to house its population in mass air raids, and a local visit by Mr Langford and sons to family in Neeppawa.
Bravo, ladies across Canada learn to drive repair and service cars via the Women’s Auxiliary Motor Service. About 30 members of Toronto’s 550 girls tested tractor handling, a far cry from side saddle traditions.
Local notes report visits and travel among residents of Winnipeg and area towns. Mrs M E Maher visited Winnipeg with her son Byng, Coleman Cristall was a business visitor in Winnipeg, Les Rea of the PPCLI is on short leave at home, and Jos McIntyre visits his sister in Paisley Ontario. Various residents spent holidays with relatives, and others left for Regina or resumed duties abroad. Notices of dances, reunions, stray livestock, and hospital aid meetings fill the page along with thanks for fire relief and local movements of merchants.
