Washington's Birthday Brings Hardyville School to Life
In Hardyville, Miss Atworth faces indifference as she plans a Washington's Birthday celebration at the old schoolhouse. After urging from a one arm veteran, Peter Dowling, and pressure from skeptical neighbors, the event unfolds with decorations, tableaux, and a stirring recital by Karl Schmidt. The night inspires a communal push for a national flag and renewed local pride.

Fat young mutton birds feed Fur Neaux Islands for weeks
During six weeks every autumn the 400 inhabitants of the Australian Fur neaux Islands make enough money to support themselves in idleness the rest of the year. They do this by enatching the very fat young mutton birds which are hatched there in such numbers that the flocks when they rolate extend for miles. They furnish food and oil which is used for lubricating purposes and also as a substitute for cod liver oil.

Attack by a Lion on a Pacific trek victim

The piece ends with grim schoolroom quips on climate and weather.
