Probe of apple pricing sparks calls for reform
A professor of economics at an Australian university decries inflated apple prices as a graft against buyers. He notes producers earn little while middlemen profit, citing cases where boards sold apples to Manila and private buyers at high costs. He urges government action to ensure producers receive fair pay and public access to affordable fruit.

Adventurous Escape From Crete to Africa by Allied Platoon
Noel Parle and a mixed force of Australians New Zealanders and a Scot endured a grueling trek from a Greek pass to the coast, evaded Germans and Italians, boarded a Greek vessel for Crete, survived the blitz, and finally escaped by boat to North Africa using a diesel powered launch fitted by locals. The journey spanned months, with capture and imprisonment, then a daring breakout through wire enclosures to reach allied lines.

Greeks Survive Bombing and Drift to Alexandria After Axis Attack
The group aboard a damaged ship endured air raids by Nazi planes off the African coast. Bombs landed near the vessel while a storm and desert dust limited visibility. Six sailors reached shore after the sea calmed, were assisted by a British regiment, and the Australians, cared for by South Africans and other troops, were moved on to Cairo and Palestine to rejoin their regiment.
