The text argues Churchill's eloquent lines define wartime truth and urges a frank, sacrificial Australian response. It contrasts France's collapse with Ehrenbourg's diagnosis and the need for a shared commitment. It notes Japanese retreat, horses abandoned, and a rare exception of Horii on a groomed horse near Kokoda.
Country homes facing petrol and manpower shortages can use a DIY Coolgardie cooler. A wooden cube frame with hessian sides and flaps draws air through damp flannel to evaporate cooling. Weekly washing of the fabric maintains airflow. The piece references a charcoal cool safe and accompanying plans from the Agricultural Gazette.
War correspondent George Higgennston argues any end date is unpredictable now and could come in six months or many years. He warns Japan and Pacific reconquest may extend the war, notes tenacious Japanese defense at Buna, and states Allied resolve and spirit drive victory.
In the Papuan foothills from Sanananda to Kokoda and north to Soputa, many horses remain amid torn saddles. The animals likely came with the Japanese from racetracks in the Philippines, Malaya, or Hongkong. Japanese logistics included captured Bren guns and motor transport, bringing hundreds of horses and mules into the Owen Stanley campaign. Surviving thoroughbreds show the same wear as starved pack animals, bearing girth marks and back scars from harsh use at Buna Gona and Ganananda.
The Newcastle Herald notes Curtin moves Militia deployment area to parliamentary decision, defining a restricted zone around the northwest Australian region. Critics warn the boundaries are arbitrary, excluding New Zealand and parts of Borneo while including New Guinea and Timor, shaping Labour Party unity over army strategy.
The article discusses shifts in pig breeding emphasis toward carcase quality over strict color standards. It cites M D Carse of Hawkesbury Agricultural College and Dr John Hammond noting breed type should align with carcase type, favoring small heads, straight top lines, long bodies, meaty ham, short legs, and fine hair and skin. It notes concerns about white in ears or feet as breeders pursue utility and marketable conformation.
The excerpt describes the ideal breeding boar or sow as displaying conformation and uniformity, a streamlined effect, and a well-proportioned head with width between the eyes, smooth cheeks, clean-cut jowl, and broad snout. It notes a free gait and quiet temperament as evidence of good breeding.
Senator Keane, Minister for Customs, proposes regional price committees with official status in every suburb and hamlet of Australia.
