The chairman L J Rees opened discussion on the proposed aerodrome. Margereson urged careful study while A Reeve questioned immediate rejection. The group acknowledged air travel as modern and debated whether Manjimup should pursue an aerodrome and seek candidates to advance the plan.
The Warren Association Shield football final will see Manjimup vs Pemberton while hockey pits Jardee Deanmill against Bridgetown. Results from the last round put Jardee Deanmill ahead in hockey and Manjimup leading football league.
Elder Smith and Co reports 250 cattle and 637 sheep yarded with 236 cattle and 6387 sheep sold. Cattle met a near full clearance with fats notably sharp including light weight steers and cows. Prices ranged from £10/2/6 to £14/5 for various Shorthorn and Jersey crosses, with good demand from outside buyers. Sheep yarding was lighter but of good quality with strong demand. crossbred hoggets and Suffolk cross suckers sold well and Merino wethers and ewes fetched solid prices. Overall values remained firm on late rates.
