No License Debate Highlights Local Temptation and Faith
A fragmentary report recalls a No-License discussion led by Mr Stafford in the district. He cites magistrate observations on alcohol’s harms and urges individual action to sway the October poll, praising temperance groups and church members while noting police and court costs tied to liquor. References to local figures and committee talk hint at ongoing community effort.

Liberal Country Party Exec agrees on branches and policy
In Melbourne last week the Liberal Country Party executive moved to accelerate branch formation after failed reconciliations with the United Country Party. They approved an insurance scheme for members, planned a party newspaper, and stated continued support for the Dunstan Ministry while aligning with party policy. The group rejected reconciliation with the parent UCP Central Council, confirming independence and self-financed operations, and adopted motions including opposition to a separate agricultural policy for Australian producers.
