Power have been very edifying. There is one. Thing however conspicuous by its absence. In All that huge delegation from Rural Canada there was not word about wheat. For years the i ree press has waged a venomous tirade of. Propaganda at the wheat pools and the wheat. Board. I was disappointed that such any import ant question was not thoroughly thrashed out at the most appropriate place and time. I might say. Since Jan. 1, 1948 there have been Over applications for membership in the wheat Pool. From the speech of or Power buttressed by or. Garson s speech before the chamber of Commerce in Winnipeg in june it is evident the Reform part needs reforming As or. Power states.

And the contributions in Cash to the Relief of the taxpayer. You have a habit of repeating that socialism leads to totalitarianism. I see no evidence of such in Winnipeg nor in the on Tario Hydro. The same can be said of our educational system our postal sys Lem our water works old age pen Sions family allowances. It will Only be a Short time until the health and medical will be socialized. Or. Garson recently announced a. New Hydro policy of ownership under which he intends to bring the whole of Manitoba s Waler Power into the Hydro system. Surely no one can accuse or. Gar son of totalitarian tendencies but. Consistency thou Art a jewel. Survive. It is hard to understand or. Barker s funeral Chapel Ltd. Efficient dignified service.

Who Are the people who think that they speak for All of the 300, 000 people in Winnipeg in saying that we shall have no sunday movies no sunday hockey foot bad or baseball games in our Down town stadium who Are they who say that we shall have no cocktail bars or even women s Beer Parlours. Why. Rion we the younger generation be someone to speak for us and Ai least let us have a vote on Whethe or nol. We ourselves can determine what is Best for us to Rio on our dreary sundays in Winnipeg. Harold s. Gordon opinion of Farmer nor wanted sir news reports on the meet Ings of the Farmers protective association held Here aug. 4 were so on sided and incomplete that there is every reason to be Lieve that the Public should know the whole Story. You write that Manitoba Farmers rap wheat Price disparity let me say this it is True that 200 people attended the meet ing. From about. 8.30 until 11 o clock the night of the meeting five directors of the Farmers protective ass. Spoke to the meeting and they berated the government and also the m.f.a.c., the c.f.a., the pools and the directors of these organizations.

However things Are comparatively cheap. The Cost of mailing a registered letter is and this comes to around nine cents in american currency. A movie loge seats costs and this is less than 25 cents. A Coke Sells Lor s350.000.00 to in the retail stores but in a movie it is an ice Cream Brick the size of a House building Brick costs around our bus service is rather cheap and a four mile ride comes to or so but Shanghai is so congested a recent Survey placed the population at that the bus service is completely inadequate. You find therefore that there Are pedicab at every place of entertainment and other Points. A pedicab is something like a min lure horse Carriage with a bicyclist in the place of a horse. There Are no fixed rates and to travel in a pedicab one has to make sure of. The charge before hand or else he cyclist will claim an exorbitant fee and kick up a Racket if you refuse payment.
