Dust storm unsettles Euchareena housewives
A heavy dust storm blew into Euchareena from the west last Saturday week, spoiling weekend cleanups and leaving residents displeased. Joyce Quirk of Dubbo visited the Linklater home, and infant health prompted a trip to Orange for treatment. The stationmaster Allen and wife took their annual holiday. A fancy dress ball at Memorial Hall aided local funds, organized by Mr. and Mrs. De Clayton, with prizes for swaggies and children. The supper, solo performances, and dancing closed a pleasant village evening.
