Evacuation Seen as Only Shield Against Hydrogen Bomb Threat
Civil defence experts warn that evacuation is the only reliable method to save city residents from hydrogen bomb blasts, though logistics are daunting. They propose dividing cities into sections with controlled routes to rural areas, planning for clothing, food, shelter, and money, and note the possibility of permanent relocation if a nuclear strike renders major cities uninhabitable for years.

Rain and Hail Cut Manitoba Crops in 1956 Harvest
Rain and hail damaged Manitoba crops during the 1956 harvest, with estimates of $20 million in losses. Minister of Agriculture C L Shuttleworth warned yields and grades may drop 20 percent provincewide due to bad weather delaying harvest. Harvest varied by region with heavy rains, poor drying, and swaths left weeks. Farmers were urged to wait for better drying weather rather than thresh damp grain.

Farm Windfall Hopes From Drying Weather Outlook
The outlook brightens as drying weather becomes crucial to save damp grain. Special crops like sugar beets require drying ahead of the September harvest. Flax recovery is near complete, though frosts may have damaged later stands. Farm labor service can meet demand, with 15 to 20 men placed daily, reducing shortage risk.
