Sand hills along the beaches are opened to southerly and northerly winds, causing loss of shelter and erosion. The Public Works Department consolidates hills near Coffs Jetty with brush lines and Spinifex grass to trap sand. Unauthorized sand removal damages the surface and hinders restoration efforts and incurs costs.
The parish reports praises for the Ball and thanks to GFS members and helpers, notes on the new Fellowship led by Mr. P MacMillan with Miss N Dent as secretary, and Monday meetings in the Parish Hall. Sawtell and Crossmaglen services were strong, with 1600 in attendance at the cathedral.
The Hall Committee held its monthly meeting to review minor improvements and full plans for the forthcoming hall. Key items include installing a tap in the supper room, adding a kitchen serving window, and completing existing updates. Members discussed ball officials and committees as the group seeks to place the hall in first class order. The treasurer reported 49 members paid their 1948 49 subscriptions with others urged to pay promptly.
