Manitoba (pop. 958,000) is the only relatively "have not" province in the West, though it too has greatly progressed in recent years. In Premier Dufferin Roblin, 49, it has an able Tory whom many Conservatives consider a good bet for the leadership of the national party when John Diefenbaker eventually retires. Manitoba also has the prairie's most diversified industry and a newly beckoning north into the bargain...
...mold bottom is withdrawn, an unbroken billet of barely crusted steel creeps down through cooling water sprays and over rollers to burners, which slice it, still red-hot, into handy lengths. The technique has cut production costs by more than $10 a ton for companies such as Roblin Steel of Dunkirk, N.Y., which helped pioneer the process in the U.S. Continuous casting mills are so much cheaper to build than old-fashioned facilities that tiny (80,000 tons a year) Roblin earned a 47% return on its net worth last year. Though continuous casting accounts for only...

Conservatives in the industrialized eastern provinces would much rather see Manitoba's able Premier Dufferin Roblin or Nova Scotia's Premier Robert Stanfield in charge of the party...
...across Canada by the magnetic, evangelistic personality of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, the Tory national leader. The returns in Manitoba gave the Tories 26 seats, the Liberals 19, the socialist CCF II.

Across the land the long-dominant Liberals were left with control of only two small island provinces on the Atlantic coast-Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland...
...Since it is largely the similar acid properties of the sulfa-drugs and the bacterial vitamins which confuse the bacteria, Chemists Richard O. Roblin Jr. and Paul H. Bell (of the sulfa-making American Cyanamid Co.) have developed a method of measuring the acidity of the several hundred possible sulfa-compounds and thus 'predicting their efficacy. But such predictions are complicated by other factors: some sulfa-drugs are not absorbed by the body and thus never reach the blood stream; others undergo chemical changes in the body and thus lose their powers...
