North Greenough school works and council bids
Local notes report North Greenough School tender results with Jenner and Haffner as lowest bidders. The Municipal Council approved rate book amendments and postponed other measures. A buoy search near Port Gregory ended with a successful rescue and return. An ore yield near Googandie is described as disappointing with a major tender for forage rejected. Council sessions were interrupted by weather and quorum issues as committees prepared for wool and fuel valuations.
War aims and breadline strain cross the empire front
The piece paints Britain’s wartime hardship, noting rising living costs outpacing wages while essentials like meat sugar and bread grow scarce. It argues for stronger imperial effort and financial zeal to support the war, with calls for public contributions and urgent government measures.
