Ward Two Alderman Magn-

cent convention of the Cana-
dian Federation of Mayors
and Municipalaties at Hali-

Of major concern to the

arrangement with senior gov-

increasing property tax bur-

issues that were dealt with is
need for some form of metro-
politan govemment type of
municipal government in our
larger cities.
Magnus was one of three
delegates representing the
city of Winnipeg. The others
were Alderman Lloyd Stin-
son and Alderman Max Muld-

ed as did mayors from most

BRÉF FRÁ ÍSLANDI

Kæra frú
Ég hef mikinn áhuga á að
eignast pennavini, helzt sem
víðast.
Því miður skrifa ég ekki
ensku þó ég lesi hana nokkuð.
Þegar ég af tilviljun fékk
í hendur eintak af Lögberg-
Heimskringlu, kom mér í hug
að kannske fyrirfindist ein-
hver í Kanada, sem vildi
skrifast á við mig.
Og því sný ég mér til yðar.
Ég er 36 ára og aðaláhugamál
mín eru, ferðalög, handavinna,
minjagripir, læra tungumál
og eignast pennavini sem víð-
ast, til að fræðast um þjóðar-
siði þeirra.
Eins og er, skrifast ég á við
tvær danskar konur, mér til
mikillar ánægju.
Ég yrði mjög þakklát ef þér
gætuð komið þessari ósk
minni á framfæri í blaði yðar.

WOMEN HAVE EDGE
Icelandic women live longer
than anybody else in the
world, according to United
Nations statistics.
Their life expectancy of
76.2 years compares with the
best the males have to offer
— 71.6 in Sweden. U.S. female
life expectancy is between 74
and 75.
Sweden also has the best
infant mortality rate — 12.9
deaths for each thousand
births.
