Advertising rates fixed for Yes referendum by Prices Commissioner
The Commonwealth Prices Commissioner Professor Copland set fixed reduced advertising rates for Yes propaganda in country papers on July 8, 1944, as revealed by Prime Minister Curtin. Government ads could bargain but general rates varied by state, with NSW publishers accusing profiteering. The Country Press Association argued their casual rate has long been 4d per inch, with 2d concessions for war efforts, and many free publicity efforts for the war.

Remarkable Bailey Bridge Pioneers War Era Engineering
The Bailey Bridge named for Donald Coleman Bailey of Britain's Ministry of Supply revolutionized battlefield crossing. It spans up to 200 feet without pontoons, carries 20 tons, and can be doubled or trebled for heavier tanks. Built as a 10-foot section puzzle, nine foundation parts, and assembled by six men. First on rollers, then slid over gaps with one pin per joint. Montgomery calls it essential in Europe.
