Rehearsals by Candlelight for Convent Ball Owing to Restrictions
Debs rehearse by candle and lantern light because electricity is restricted. Housewives with pressure cookers gain time savings during limited cooking hours. Coffs Airport serves a large area by carrying mails and perishables amid railway dislocation. Shops open early and close early to utilize daylight. A public meeting on fixed seating in Memorial Hall moved to Thursday to avoid clashing with the Convent Ball on June 27. Transport Co ordination tax not charged on road transport aiding railways saves perishables. Police permit applications cost one shilling.
