Notes on War, Peace, and Local Politics in NSW
The final Wingham Chronicle issue keeps a reflective winter tone with holiday wishes and peace hopes. It lampoons the Joint Coal Board for costly coal stoppages and bitter industrial lines, cites Dr Ryan's lectures on Communism, mentions a Punchbowl arson case against a Legion official, and notes local electoral maneuvering including ex-MHR George Gibbons facing John Howse.

Springboard for an election bid and local city scenes
The tale mixes political talk about Howie and George in a bid to win a seat, plus social sketches of Croydon cricket prodigy Grant Le Huray, local party events, and a chaotic city scene with markets, laundry services, and busy shops fueling summer crowds and transport delays.
