Back when babies were born in Kindersley’s hospital?

Remember when babies were born in Kindersley’s hospital, and each year there was a contest to see who the first arrival the year would be? On January 10th, 1974 at approximately 2:18 am, George Robert Smith made his grand appearance and was subsequently declared the winner of the New Year’s baby contest for 1974. His mother, Mrs. Robert Smith of Kindersley proudly held her 8 pounds, nine ounces new arrival. The baby was the recipient of many gifts provided by Kindersley merchants.
