Destructive Fire Destroys Four roomed House in Perth
The St Barker branch meeting at Mr Harker Hall saw L Squires preside as the tiny audience offered sharp criticism. A year’s report by secretary T Kearsley praised the Ladies’ and Girls’ clubs, Rifle Club and others for repatriation fund efforts. The executive pledged to continue support locally, and committee plans included collaboration with outside centres to avoid clashes in fundraising dates. Weather notes warned of continuing trials with thunderclouds and a 102.8 degree reading. Bush fires damaged Williams Bros property near Kerimbup, with 18 to 35 tons of hay burned. Mr J Mitchell’s Minna Street home was nearly destroyed, prompting rapid fire brigade response. The ward forecast anticipated NW winds and warm to hot weather with unsettled conditions.
