Three letters drew comment: of one - the correspondence with Dr. Gardiner of Helensburgh on the score of the allegedly dangerous sanitary depot there - Dormie counselled us not to provoke the matter too much, or we may find a sewer constructed with its outlet at North Era. Dormie was also to the forefront in connection with the control of firearms suggested by the Wild Life Preservation Society. He referred to the Club's activity in conjunction with Federation on this same subject about five years ago, adding that an acquaintance recently arrived from England was shocked at the lax control of firearms in this country. In England only a member of a recognised rifle club may possess such a weapon. We agreed to support the Wild Life Preservation Society in their policy. | Three letters drew comment: of one - the correspondence with Dr. Gardiner of Helensburgh on the score of the allegedly dangerous sanitary depot there - Dormie counselled us not to provoke the matter too much, or we may find a sewer constructed with its outlet at North Era.

Bob Chapman said yes, Scouts did carry axes, but they were instructed not to use them to chop trees down. Frank Young had doubts - look at the Macquarie Fields Re-union area, which had been a Scout camp, he said - saplings cut for tent poles, little bush tables made from cut wood, and so forth. Ron Parkes contributed a comment that Scouts seemed to make a hobby of cutting down trees in Lindfield Park. Dorothy Lawry observed that at Waterfall there were reserves on both sides of the railway line, and cutting timber there would certainly be an offence. She moved that our Federation delegates enquire and ascertain if the Rover Ramblers could enlighten us. (Carried.) |
