A Christmas tale on the first star over Bethlehem where Wise Men gifts gold frankincense and myrrh inspire animals to offer love as the true gift. The dove leads creatures to the Child, declaring a heart full of love the finest gift, as bells ring and the dawn quiets the inn courtyard.
Nobby State School and Ryeford State school staged year end concerts at the Nobby School of Arts Hall and Justus Seefeld’s barn respectively. Performances featured solo piano and violin pieces, recitations, duets, a play Brownies Birthday Party, folk dances, and a finale of Silent Night. Attendance drew a large audience with proceeds from Ryeford door takings approaching £20 for school recreation.
A Christmas themed newspaper item lists questions about Christmas traditions and figures, mentions a Ryeford School program with the band The River and a play titled Ten Little Nigger Boys.

A playful item presents Christmas party posers asking why cliffs resemble the letter D and how a wringer speaks to clothes. The piece ends with a pun about fattening, capturing a light humorous tone typical of a community column.
The Queensland State Government grants 3000 pounds for a building to house the Queensland Braille Writing Association offices. Organizer Mr RF Tunley said another 1250 pounds was raised from Masonic lodges bowling clubs and business people. The association has, in 59 years, transcribed 8000 books for the blind, stored in a Creproot building.
The account traces yellow fever from 1793 through the early 20th century, detailing Reed, Lazear, Carroll, and Finlay testing theories in Cuba, the role of mosquitoes in transmission, and the U.S. and Panama Canal efforts under Gorgas. It notes deaths among volunteers, the eventual eradication of breeding mosquitoes, and ongoing vigilance in tropical regions, with Naguchi’s death on the Gold Coast and burial in New York.
The article traces mustard from ancient Greek use as a health aid to its popularization in England. Mrs. Clements, a Durham housewife, devised a powdery mustard in her kitchen, praised by George I, sparking local mills. Jeremiah Colman later refined fine mustard near the start of the 19th century. Mustard still blends brown and white seeds, with ongoing tests to ensure quality amid variable crop strength.
