They would also like the title and the name of the exhibitor to be attached to, or written on, the prints. A great deal of the interest of the exhibition centres round the subject matter of the photographs and in past exhibitions there have always been numerous people trying to find out what the photograph depicted and who took it. Mr. Eade from the Photographic Society will be the judge, and the best photograph will be published on a full page of the magazine.

 Let me add the story of my experience with Angus McWhirter. Just the two of us. On the Grose between Hungerford's and Wentworth Creeks - a day's march from Blackheath or Richmond or Faulconbridge. Angus' foot skidded on a greasy boulder and he fell twenty or thirty feet, rolling over and over like a sack of spuds. When I reached him in more circumspect descent, I found his left shin bone broken and protruding through the skin. He had a number of small cuts, and the symptoms of shock were developing (skin cold and sweating, rapid weak pulse, faintness). What would you do? What did I do? Let me add the story of my experience with Angus McWhirter. Just the two of us.

The lad of five years of age quoted in the "Home" article was more able to look after himself in the bush than any member of the Sydney Bush Walkers. The Association was composed of responsible people but they could not be responsible for actions of their members on unscheduled walks, such as carrying of firearms, though he himself abhorred rifles. He said the S.B.W. was not subscribing to the Federation's Objects in that we had contravened Clause 8 whereby the Federation is enjoined to promote goodwill among bush lovers.

 But they did not smile upon everybody. Our assistant-Treasurer, Allan Hardie, was walking along the Pacific Highway, perhaps pondering on the Club finances, when a car ran into him from behind. He landed in hospital unconscious with his arm broken in two places, and we hear that his first request on coming to was for his account book. He is now about town again so we will not miss his oratory at the June meeting. But they did not smile upon everybody.
