Wartime Australian motor service sector drives economy
The text highlights servicing and maintenance as a vital part of the Commonwealth’s automotive industry. It cites prewar figures of about 11,400 service houses employing over 30,000 workers, with an estimated annual expenditure around £36.5 million through garages and related shops. It notes a postwar backlog and the expected surge in demand as fuel, tyres, and parts become available again, stressing employment and finance downstream of the industry.

New York Theatres End Season With Big Losses and Rich Recoveries
New York theatres closed a season that showed large box office gains yet heavy losses from failures. Admission receipts averaged high, with more than £305,000 weekly at peak and £178,000 weekly in summer. The Adelphi alone suffered about $1 million in failed productions such as The Girl From Nantucket Nellie Bly and The Duchess Misbehaves. Despite fewer new plays 195-1946 season saw over 100 productions, 16 revivals, and 10 long-running shows, including powerful returns of revivals like Little Women and The Red Mill.
