Fort Garry Ladies Pony Club est. 1907 is looking to the Winnipeg community to help us fill in some gaps in our clubs local history. After a terrible fire in 1972 that took much of our archive we are hoping that former members of our long-standing social club will have squirreled away photo's, memorabilia, and/or any ephemera that might further elaborate on our club and its long and generous history here on the Manitoba prairie. We are working toward an exhibition that will coincide with the Manitoba Homecoming festivities next year. Send photo's etc. to: Peter Roy, 5th floor, 290 McDermot Ave., Wpg., MB, R3B 0T2.

[...] debate is useful, provided one views the topic as a Malayan jungle clearing -- an area being constantly choked by the creeping undergrowth of quotations out of context and unfounded assertions, needing constant attention to keep it clear of illogical trains of thought and the comparing of apples with oranges -- in particular, setting rationalism (modern science) against superstition (out of date religion).
