Reminiscences of a Railway Guard on Odd Passengers
A retired guard recalls half a century on the rails with tales from the Midlard Railway era. He befriended a baby hidden among luggage, faced a death from an empty laudanum bottle, aided a disguised embezzler posing as a parson, guarded a runaway romance, and noted a director tipping him generously while claiming to oppose tips.

Butter regulation clash at King’s Bench case and dairy dissent
The piece reports British and Australian dairy interests reacting to a King’s Bench ruling on butter with added water. Dairying societies condemn the decision and press for immediate government legislation to cap water at 16 percent, banning milk blended butter. The matter reaches Parliament as ministers consider Margarine Act scope.
