A nostalgic column features Uncle Bills Corner with jokes and stories about Richie the sick child, a doctor visitor, word riddles, and a playful adventure with Jane and cousins. It recalls schoolyard humor, a top-dog club, and a memorable pig encounter at a farm gate.
Royal Automobile Club of Victoria warns CO poisoning is not limited to fatal garage deaths. Many drivers suffer fatigue and headache from exhaust leaks and faulty seals. A misrouted tail pipe can swirl gases into the cabin, requiring a rear outlet or tubing beyond the floor. Also recalls a barrister who paid staff in legal advice.
A community column recalls readers hobbies with standings led by stamp collecting and mentions a February registration prize of 60 foreign stamps. It also offers a jumble puzzle and a pig episode, then discusses road safety with the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria urging clear timely signals and caution about misreadings from mirrors and arm signals.
A clipped puzzle about removing letters yields a punny answer post man. At a bush cricket match the captain asked another man to umpire as the official did not arrive. The first ball was wide yet it swung in and broke Bateman’s pads. A spectator asks what for. The reply notes all afternoon. A spoon like a runaway.
A jumble of prompts and puns features Thelma's velvet frock and a string of wordplay exchanges with Police and Ghosts. The humor shifts to a typist and boss exchange about a salary and a private secretary, ending with a question on why naps are dangerous.
A pencil and two paper slips circulate for a light party game. Each player writes a question on the first slip and answers on the second slips. Slips are mixed, then read alternately as a question and its answer, yielding amusing results for players.
