Value of education prompts district debate on schooling
A column argues for preserving Coondle's school to avoid breaking education continuity as two recent district events highlight the town's struggle over schooling and bursary funding. It notes Senior Inspector Miles' presence at the school meeting and advocates a local endowment loan of about £1000 to fund a student through three years at the University of Western Australia, with £50 annual support.

On the Road to Toodyay Scribe Warns of Damaged Tyres
A poem, “On the Road to Toodyay,” laments a harsh road with blowouts and damaged tyres. It warns of bolts, washers, rutted gravel, and dangerous sections. The piece imagines a future where the road is repaired after a national effort and boasts of a brighter dawn.

Hard Luck at Popular Downs Sheep Shearing Loss
The Murchison Times reports Mr P. M. Morrissey of Popular Downs suffered heavy losses after a second shearing of about 250 stragglers, many dying from starvation as heavy rains and cold weather followed. Two thirds of the flock perished within 25 hours, the largely ewe stock reducing profits. A minimum 57 degrees in mid-summer compounded the tragedy.
