LÖGBERG-HEIMSKRINGLA, FIMMTUDAGINN 5. JANÚAR 1961 n Litið um öxl Úldrællir úr Lögbergi og Heimskringlu frá fyrri árum Valið hafa Dr. Þorvaldur Johnson og Dr. Tryggvi J. Oleson Úr Heimskringlu 3. janúar 1901: Blaðið Free Press hér í bæn- um, er flestum mun kunnugt vera, bar þá fregn út á mánu- daginn, að Gimli-kjördæmið mundi vera þingmannslaust. Sagði fregntólið, að núver- andi þingmaður, herra B. L. Baldwinson, ætlaði eða hefði sagt af sér þingmennsku, því hann væri hræddur við að láta þingkosningu sína koma fyrir lög og dóm. Líka færði fregntólið þá viturlegu frá- sögn, að Hon. R. P. Roblin og B. L. Baldwinson ætluðu næsta dag ofan til Nýja ís- lsnds að fara að undirbúa aukakosningu. Allur þessi þvættingur Free Press er haugalýgi frá upphafi til enda, að því einu undanskildu, að Ný - Islendingar fá líklega bráðum að sjá forsætisráð- herra Manitobafylkis ásamt þingmanni sínum. En þeir fara þar um byggð í allt öðr- um tilgangi en vinna að kosn- ingum. Ný-lslendingar mættu vel virða það við Hon. R. P. Roblin, að hann ætlar ekki að afskipta þá viðtali og eftirliti. Hann er sá fyrsti stjórnarfor- maður í Man., sem ferðast þar. Mr. Greenway (fjósakarlinn) kom þar aldrei. Hann átti nóga smala til að hóa saman sínum útvöldu sauðum þar og annars staðar. _☆ Sir Charles Tupper var haldin mikil heiðursveizla á Leland Hotel á miðvikudag- inn í fyrri viku og voru þar um 300 boðsgestir. Önnur veizla var haldin í Morden kvöldið áður í virðingarskyni við Hon. R. P. Roblin stjórn- arformann fylkisins. En ekki höfum vér rúm fyrir ræður þær, sem haldnar voru á þess- um tveimur stöðum. ☆ Stjórnarform. Manitoba- stjórnarinnar og þingm. Gimli kjördæmis verða staddir í dag að Gimli. ☆ Úr blaðinu tveimur vikum seinna: Þeir Hon. R. P. Roblin og hr. B. L. Baldwinson komu heim úr Nýja íslandsför sinni um miðja síðustu viku. Á Gimli . . . var stór fund- ur. Var Mr. Roblin flutt þar ávarp. Hélt hann og þingm. Gimli kjördæmis ræður, og var þeim tekið framúrskar- andi vel. Að því búnu var þeim haldin veizla í fundar- salnum . . . Um 300 manns sátu veizluna. Þaðan héldu beir að Árnesi. Þar var for- sætisráðherranum flutt ávarp, og hélt hann þar ræðu. Sama kvöld var fundur að Hnaus- um . . . Næsta dag héldu þeir áleiðis til Geysir og íslend- ingafljóts . . . Síðan héldu þeir til Isafoldar, og þaðan út í Engey (þar sem hr. Johann Straumfjörð býr). Þaðan til Mikleyar, og var þar fjölmenn samkoma, og flest allir eyjar- búar sóttu hana . . . Gifts T March: Mrs. V. J.
