A garbled report discusses the Grinsted Cup protest and claims Australia’s favorable trade balance growth due to sugar and other exports. It mentions wartime effects on prices, port costs, and looming shifts in imports and exports influencing national wealth.
The Eugowra Cricket Club failed to overturn a protest ruling as the Grinsted Cup defense remained with Caragabal after a delayed start and weather disruption. The meeting, attended by officials and players from Eugowra, St Laurence, Lakeside and Parkes clubs, upheld the protest dismissal by five votes to four, with a refund of the protest fee.

A November letter from a German town reports severe food shortages and rationing, price controls, and confiscation of incomes above a set level. It notes scarce textiles, coal, and chocolate, with rationed meat and bread, shifting to substitutes, plus rumors of coffers being looted for foreign exchange. It also alleges anti-Semitic acts and executions in occupied Poland.
In a bankruptcy court session the examiner railed at a culprit who claimed funds were spent outside Porthea. The exchange highlighted the plea to use money locally and support friends and neighbors before leaving the city.
The text notes that despite din, discomforts, and privations there is general confidence in a German victory. It says the country is topsy turvy, people spend freely because money loses value, cinemas bars and cafes are packed, and dancing on the edge of a valiant home front persists with Germany expecting to win.
Officers and enlisted men of the militia unit will celebrate its one year formation with a reunion in the Parish Hall on February 14. Ex members receive cordial invitation.
