- | FIRST AID IN ERNE` | + | |
- | Herein we present the true facts of ErItc PegramIs | + | |
- | There is a particularly savage granite ridge leading down via Cambage Spire to the junction of Christyts | + | |
- | In passing we mention that thiP ridge is literally studded with hobnails torn off various boots. The pt ty had disintegrated into various small groups, the leading bunch bei/ Eric Pegram, Jenny Felshow, Sally | + | |
- | Mackay, Stan Madden and one other unidentified hunk of bushwalker. The river was "just a biscuit toss" away and Eric was descending the last | + | |
- | grade when he had the misfortune to dislodge a large rock. With agility | + | |
- | somewhat comparable to a circus acrobat Eric managed to move most of his anatomy from the path of the falling rock, but unfortunately | + | |
- | collected a decent whack above the left ankle. He managed to return | + | |
- | to an accessible position and by that time Sally had plaster in the | + | |
- | ready position. With the cooperation of the quartet - mostly verbal - | + | |
- | the ankle was attended to, the whole proceeding being reminiscent of a Cotter first aid lecture. | + | |
- | Eric managed to walk down the rest of the ridge to the Kowmung, where Roley decided to camp at once (3 p.m.). Next a fast party, | + | |
- | sisting | + | |
- | dusk, stayed the night at the pub, and returned with the horse in the morning. Things went smoothly from then on, only difficulty being | + | |
- | that Eric had to mount from the wrong side. The doctor found the wound quite clean, owing to the rest and prompt attention, and it will probably not be long before Eric is on the track again. | + | |

+ | =====Camp Fires.===== | ||
Last month we were discussing camp fires and their importance to the enjoyment of camping. There are many ways of enjoying a camp fire. With a small group of people things can be quite informal. Yarns, arguments, discussions and songs can ebb and flow as the group pleases, but as the size of the crowd increases so does it become more necessary for a certain amount of organisation and control. Whatever the number of folks around a fire however, the chap or the girl who can lead a few songs is always welcome and an asset. | Last month we were discussing camp fires and their importance to the enjoyment of camping.

As a matter of fact, people with really good voices seldom make song leaders. If possible, however, I think that an aspiring leader should try out his favourite songs accompanied by a piano, for too often do we hear would be songsters who iron out the liveliest songs to little more than a monotone. Having mastered the words and music there remains only the pitch. This detail is the most frequently forgotten, but bad pitch ruins more songs than almost any other factor. The campfire leader must know on what note to start any particular song, to enable average folks to sing its highest and lowest notes in comfort. The faculty of striking the right pitch is only learnt |
