Sailors Home Guild event at Dimboola Hall raises funds

Proceeds reached about £95, with further events at Scott Brothers Wool Shed drawing Red Cross support and entertainment by Emmett's Orchestra. A soldier's parcel raffle and other auctions added to a total over £130 for Red Cross relief. Local rainfall followed gusty winds, aiding crops.
