A compact poetic reflection appears in the Braidwood Review dated Tuesday December 14. The piece contrasts causes lacking resistance with wrongs needing resistance and hints at future and good deeds in the distances. It centers on moral action and civic duty.
Health Inspector reported three local girls warned against swimming in a creek near Wallace Street due to domestic water use. He outlined a plan for a 30 yard long pool at the Jellamatong and Fieud Creeks junction, with willow shade, costing about £20 for banks and cleaning. Council approved £10 for initial work and considered access, permissions, and temporary sheds.
A fragmentary reminiscence shows a mother comforting sobbing children after grandma's death. The scene hints at belief in an ongoing presence and the sorrow of loss.
A public meeting at the old Union Church in Larbert decided to reopen the church after minor repairs and removal of surrounding pine trees. Trustees were elected: O Stephens and Callan, with W Roberts to assist, and the ground trustees tied to the church banking account. The group discussed whether to demolish or retain the building and agreed to proceed with repairs and services as soon as possible.
Fragmentary boxing score entries list box keys and odd fractions such as Box 3/10 Box 4/6 and Box OC BL. The text reads like a digit driven ledger with labeled boxes and odd fractions, including Boz il and Box WE.
Federal Country Party Leader Mr Fadden warned in the House of Representatives that the Chifley government’s attitude risks press freedom. He predicted newspapers could soon be controlled by a board similar to that proposed for broadcasting and subject to ministerial direction to serve government propaganda.
The note records a meeting about a church service date with Mrs Stephens agreeing to be organist and Mr Robertson proposing the fourth Sunday for service. It then recounts the church’s past, noting William Ryrie’s grant of land, the village Larbert’s planning, Union Church efforts, government ownership, and local aid from Mr Gordon.
