Senior Commonwealth grader W L Whitehall told dairy factory managers in Sydney that two weaknesses caused high decline in quality of Australian Kangaroo brand butter. Salts and coarse texture, with mottling, were the main faults, worsened by wooden packing and moisture. He urged fibreboard containers with stronger wet bursting strength to improve condition and handling from factory to England.

Townsend Calls Petrol Tax Road Funding Plan
Dr A R K Townsend president of the conference says Commonwealth road funding hinges on dedicating the Petrol Tax to roads.
