Twenty four hours later two pounds of that creeping insidious fluid had seeped through a pound of dried potatoes, a pair of shorts, numerous sox and a sleeping bag. For two hours I scrubbed and rubbed with hot and cold water,, finally filled it up and hung it on a tree to dry. "Yes" I murmured through clenched teeth "Yes, there are no, seeds in honey".

When we should have been fainting on Fainter and bogged down on Bogong we were sitting in a hut with a peasouper outside. Imagine that - with nothing to drink but Milol" George saw the grimness of it all' andshook his head sadly.

-The enthusiasm may be all very well, but let it be maintained. How many of the displaced persons" take the trouble to give their successor a proper helping hand with the new job? There are many points to know in every job, and it should be the duty of the relinquisher to set down in writing the salient features of the official position as gained by their experience of the preceding twelve months. It would not be too much trouble to make the necessary notes and place them in a folder which could be handed down and amended as occasion demanded. The officials' jobs have become so onerous that it-is only fair that the general routine should be in black and white.

 Not so long ago the Walks Secretary (quoted for example only) was whizzed away at ten days notice to England. His successor was not appointed until two Monthly General Meetings subsequent, by which time the former official was in England. Such occasions will arise again and the present committee, before going out of office, would do well to consider requesting the present office bearers to commence the compilation of such records for future holders.
-It is conceded the Secretary's multifarious jobs would fill pages., and no doubt the Treasurer's personal application of accountancy would be spread over many volumes, but there are many Minor jobs which could easily be recorded for posterity.
