Racy gossip and town tales spill from Forbes and district
A lively column mocks propriety with remarks on women and flirtations, jokes about a South Forbes Sheik dancing shirt and a village lad in love. It recalls a misdirected Easter Monday trip to Cowra races, notes fashion hopes for the Plenie Race Club, and ends with a pragmatic nod to love and life on the road.
