 +=====Is There A Doctor In The House?=====
 +
 +Morning papers on October 21st reported an operation carried out by expert gynaecologists on a lioness at Taronga Park. The surgery was performed with all mod. cons. including anaesthetics, and no doubt a stiff fee (including danger money) was paid to the sawbones... However... on the previous weekend Dave Brown's party from the Mini Mini Range operated on an eagle at the junction of Gibraltar Creek with the Cox, free, gratis, and without publicity. It happened like this.
 +
 +The party found the wedge-tail squatting forlornly on rocks along the edge of the Cox, with the talons of one foot caught in a rabbit trap. Evidently it had happened some days previously, for the bird was too weak to fly. This posed a problem: plainly death by starvation was only a matter of time, yet no one was very happy about approaching those razor claws, or the curved beak, or the bent wings.
 +
 +However Dr. Frank Barr took photographs (for medicinal reasons only, of course): and Dr. Ridhard Hoffman administered the anaesthetic (with a six-foot pole Of driftwood). Thereupon Drs. David Brown and Kenneth Meadows, with nurses Sheila Binns, Beryl Christiansen and Kath Brown hovering in the background, removed the foreign body from the patient.

 For a time post-operative complications were feared, and at one stage it was thought that the anaesthetist had been over-enthusiastic. However the patient rallied after a time, and after a convalescent period of about two hours, took off, flying slowly at a low level down the river. For a time post-operative complications were feared, and at one stage it was thought that the anaesthetist had been over-enthusiastic.

-WILD FLNERS AND OUR FhELINGS+---- 
-By Clem Hallstrom- + 
-Nature's way in the display of her wild flowers is something whic can always give great pleasure. There are hardships of life and adversities which mean mental turmoil, and in this struggle the thoughL may sometimes arise: Is life worth living?" Each and every one of knows how difficult it is to have tranquility always about us, but busnwalking provides an outlet so that we can reach an awareness of beauty and realise the worth of living. Mental communion with a flowering landscape conveys an answer of lasting peace, magnetises us to the surroundings, and plays a part in that tranquility we need. +=====Wild Flowers And Our Feelings.==== 
-Spring introduces itself as a dream, but is the awakening from the cold and drab winter months. From the slumber of Ilinter a new life is born. Spring heralds the life of colour: the greenery of young shrubE, sprouting; the flowers taking form on more mature bushes, all adding to our admiration of the display of August and September.+

 The wild flowers and the surroundings that are in harmony with them know of a calm and this calm is a nourishing attribute to our contentment. From the necessary reserves and wild places comes a peaceful ecstasy that one feels is real living. The wild flowers and the surroundings that are in harmony with them know of a calm and this calm is a nourishing attribute to our contentment.

 Already the prudent ones are going into town armed with Christmas shopping lists. Each list is conditioned by the character and habits of its owner. A school girl's list might run: "Soap for Mum - Razor blade for Dad - Hanky for Aunt Clarice", and a harrassed Mother's list - well, there are sufficient Mothers in the Club these days to be able to imagine it. They probably have one in the handbag right now. Already the prudent ones are going into town armed with Christmas shopping lists. Each list is conditioned by the character and habits of its owner.
