Junior Farmers to Have Own Technical Library
At a Balingup Junior Farmers Club meeting plans were laid for a technical library funded by weekly shillings from 28 members. The club will also host a June 19 birthday party open to the public with entertainment from Dardanup members and talks by district organiser Gerry Brennan. A proposed Junior Farmer Memorial Hall at Claremont showground drew questions. Members must pay ten shillings annually for the hall’s upkeep, and several will attend the Boyup Brook Junior Farmers Ball on May 28, with date changes noted. The secretary was asked to obtain the Cowaramup Show Schedule to guide preparations for a forthcoming show. The president lamented low turnout, blamed on members working in apple packing sheds.
