Football Notes Show Weakened Teams In Weekend Games

Onlooker notes Saturday football games were below standard as several players were absent. Natives beat Rainbow 10 to 5 in the junior match while Kennedys defeated Rainbows 19 points to none in the senior clash. Key Rainbow players McQuillan, Lofty Anderson, Bennett were out, but Jim Lennos, Loughrey and Moss Treacy starred for Rainbows while Bob Kelly led Kennedys. Paddy Cronin was the best back and could be the North’s top scorer if fed well. If Natives field full strength next Saturday they could challenge Kennedys strongly. Mr Hughes return reported in Melbourne.

Soldiers Lot Suggestions for Improvement in Cairns

The Cairns sub-branch of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League Australia tables proposals at the West District Conference on July 17 to raise sustenance for those under three pounds weekly and to seek related pension increases in Far North districts. It urges the Repatriation Minister to inform locals of labor market conditions, to prevent soldiers from being stranded, and to allow demobilised men work at Chillagoe mines and State smelters. The resolution calls for district and State league action on vacancies for large soldier cohorts and requests advances from deferred pay to care for soldiers during shipping disruptions while en route home.

Cattle Buyer Urges Forsayth to Croydon Rail Link

John Jerome Meehan, cattle buyer for Biboohra Meatworks, argues to the Public Works Commission that building Forsayth to Croydon railway would boost cattle traffic and state revenue. He says the line would save losses from long overland drives, enable year round meat supply to northern shops, create over £70,000 annual railway revenue, and extend meat works operation. He notes Gulf cattle are abundant and current transport losses hinder prices and supply.
