Attic No 54 recalls Numurkah meadow fetes dating from 1903 under Rev P J Edwards and later Rev S S Williamson in rectory grounds. January events filled shows, stalls, rides, lights, and races including the greasy pig challenge, with varied public opinion on raffles and church attendance in those years.
A village fete featured numerous stalls including Old Curiosity Shop, Ireland produce, and a Swiss Girls Friendly Society booth. Central organizers praised the decor, raffling absence, and strong profits from ice cream, beverages, and gifted items as ministers' financial worries were urged to be borne by committees.
The article reviews Pittosporum Eugenynes and related species as versatile garden shrubs or small trees, noting variegated forms, fragrance, and easy growth. It covers Prostanthera for lemon-scented foliage, clipping after flowering, and ideal sunny, poor sandy soils. Also discussed are Pyracantha and rosemary as appealing garden options with care tips for thrips and pruning.
The Electricity Commission chair L G Jobbins states 35000 country consumers will gain from a reclassification merging towns with provincial cities. The change cuts tariffs, consolidating to three groups for residential commercial industrial and water heating, with overall price per kWh dropping about 30 percent over ten years and domestic rate down from 3.2 to 1.0.
The text discusses factors affecting power, arrears, capital recovery, and uncertainties in revenue and supply. It mentions commissions, stability concerns, and references to the United States, without clear events or names. The fragment appears to be an analytical note rather than a full report.
A fragmented note argues advertising as the best tool for business survival. It questions public appeal, warns against rival offerings, and urged readers to act, presenting a blunt call to leadership and market force.
