End of Summer Mailbag Hums With Manitoba Tales
A Manitoba column crowed with reader items from Henry Henderson to Frieda LaVerre. Notes probe goose lore, harvest work for youths, geese poems, poplar tree woes, a protest against a GM dealership closing, insurance hassles, and gun control debates. Readers from Carman to Swan River to Roblin share concerns, arts patrons, whippet racing myths, and a call for cross province letters with bilingual prizes.
