At a KSL meeting on November 11 Mr F R Bigmore urged a bigger festival turnout noting last year only 500 attended while membership stood at 370 and town population near 6000. He warned that without ongoing support the public would outnumber members seven to one, a concern echoed by Mr N Sheean.

Australia improves trade balance in early 1952-53
Australia’s overseas trading balance for the first quarter of 1952-53 stood at £22,698,000, a sharp improvement from the £112,655,000 deficit a year earlier. Exports in the July-September quarter reached £132,782,000, with the year total at £560,010,000 and exports at £155,480,000. Import restrictions, aimed at restoring the balance, posted a £19,147,000 value in the first quarter, down nearly £100 million from the prior year, driven by declines in motor vehicles tobacco textiles and metals. Revenue, however, totalled £2,638,000 by quarter’s end.

Soldier settlement plans threaten ex servicemen growth
Money was running out and further settlement of ex servicemen was at risk unless the Federal Government provided funds. Deputy chairman H Holmberg urged immediate support, noting land available for 200 more men and the cost of 1000 pounds per settlement in the first year. He disputed claims of Victoria’s failure and highlighted a 250 percent production rise in some settlements.

Grass Seed Abscess in Cattle Described and Treated
Veterinary officers explain grass seed abscesses in cattle form rapidly at the jaw or parotid area, producing swelling and pain. Early treatment involves skin incision, drainage, curettage, and daily syringing with antiseptic solution, packing with iodine-soaked cotton, followed by wound opening until drainage ends. Farmers should distinguish it from tuberculosis or lumpy jaw, as grass seed abscesses respond to prompt care.

Bush Fire Precautions Across Railways In State
The Railways Commissioners meet with the Railways Fire Association to finalise annual fire prevention plans. They aim to burn off about 10 000 miles of track swiftly after vegetation dries. Diesel electric locomotives may help, but coal quality is unchanged. Landowners are urged to share prevention risk, while neighboring states discuss stricter prevention laws and potential damages protections.
