Potato Price Control Talks Hint at Possible De-control
A deputation from the Vegetable Growers Association met TPHE Minister in charge of Prices Mr Finnan to push for de-control or a higher ceiling on potato prices from September. The minister said price control is under review but did not expect consensus among Prices Ministers to de-control. He warned of an imminent potato shortage from August, stressing demand remains strong yet farming must be economically viable. without fair returns, control cannot be sustained.

How Ward's Mistake Was Named
Mr H J Clark of Raeburn Guyra shares a local version of Ward's Mistake naming. William Nowland Senior arrived at Singleton around 1439 and claimed land later known as Ward's Mistake, an area of 40 000 acres. The tale recounts land management, disputes, and the mysterious Ward who vanished, with Nowland naming the place Ward's Mistake after Ward left in search of lease, and a note that no court fight occurred and the name did not come from "Owned."
