A page by Rosemary invites girls and boys to write about home life for a competition. Letters must be under 100 words and sent to Rosemary, C/o Calens Post, to win prize certificates. Readings on empty houses discuss haunted atmospheres and how memories shape places.
Migaie and friends evade a dull lecture to flee with a plan for a mountain journey. They pack meager funds, sneak onto a train, and imagine wild animals and a dog with five puppies awaiting them, while a stubborn wish to avoid home grows stronger.
A pair of children write to Rosemary inviting entry to the Home Circle. Douglas Spooner, nine, from Cairns, enjoys mecano and boats, while Hilda Amomellon, JS, from Babinda, has a bicycle, pets, and two horses. Responses welcome both, with friendly notes on hobbies and schooling.
Fragmentary OCR notes mention places like Gordonvale Port Douglas and terms such as branches wires prime and supliers. No coherent event or person action is readable to form a factual summary.
