The Tobacco Leaf Marketing Board discusses grower association sales, leaf grading funds, and finance. Members plan to inspect leaf, arrange a Brisbane trip, and set September 3 for annual meeting decisions. Delegates and growers discuss rent, leaf disposal, and upcoming shows and competitions with notices of visits and duties for August.
An obituary from Machans Beach recalls Messames Norman Crane and family oblique references to World War service, with mentions of relatives and community members.

Fragmented OCR text mentions social events and a weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson at Oak Perea. It references Cairns and Port Jean with scattered names and a note about a holiday. Details are unclear but center on social ties and an upcoming term.
