 +===== Editorial - Proving Our Case. ===== 
 + 
 +During the last few months the Club has been able to call attention to breaches of the law by timber cutters in two widely separated areas. The first was the extensive milling in the Putty Valley and on Wollemi Creek, where indiscriminate cutting along stream banks had caused serious erosion. In this case the offence was against the Water Act, which forbids felling of trees within one chain of most of the waterways of the State, and a recent letter from the Minister for Conservation acknowledged that our information was correct and our complaint warranted.

 The other instance was the encroachment on the Mark Morton Reserve by timber cutters operating from the Bendela Road in Kangaroo Valley. This was a timely discovery, since it coincided with our efforts to prevent disposal of the area as a Flora Reserve, to be put to the axe at the discretion of the Forestry Department, and demonstrated the eagerness of the millers to gain access to the Reserve. Here again the Department admitted our accuracy, stating that the trespass amounted to a few chains only, and the work had been halted as soon as it was known the cutters had moved into Mark Morton Reserve. The other instance was the encroachment on the Mark Morton Reserve by timber cutters operating from the Bendela Road in Kangaroo Valley.

 It may be argued that we do not know the boundaries of reserves and parklands: of course we don't - all the more reason why such data should reach the Conservation Secretary before a meeting has to make a decision. Those of us who have been walking for a few years have some shrewd notion of the limits of the major reserves. It may be argued that we do not know the boundaries of reserves and parklands: of course we don't - all the more reason why such data should reach the Conservation Secretary before a meeting has to make a decision.

 Lately, then, we have helped to stay two illicit timber cutting operations. Through the alertness and co-operation of members we can do a great deal to diminish this particular form of anti-social activity. Lately, then, we have helped to stay two illicit timber cutting operations.

-AT THE DECEMBER GYNTERAL MEETING. 
-December's General Meeting, with about 45 nembers present, was quite an animated show, with a variety of matters for attention, aid many items of interest. We first welcomed two new hands, David Moorhouse and Bob Abernethy, and romped through the minutes and correspondence, from which we learned that the timber cutting on Wollen1 Creek had been investigated by the Conservation Department and found to contravene the Water Act. We adopted the Conservation Report which proposed we ask what action was being taken against the offenders: also a recommendation that the Minister for Lands 
-be asked the reasons for refusing to amend the National Park/Garawarra Park boundary. The President called attention to Brian Harvey's notice of retirement from the dual post of Magazine Business Manager and Duplicator Operator, so that prospective trainees may be found before March. 
-Len Scotland enquired about the x-outre for crossing off unfinancial members, and the President outlined the triple ad,,/ice system, stating that about 61 had originally been removed from the books this year, but reinstatements had considerably reduced this since. The Treasurer's report showed that we had 2,41 in the operating funds at November 30th. Social Secretary Ross Laird recorded that the Christmas Party had been a financial success.

-During reading of the Federation Report Bill Cosgrove called attention to an opposition meeting at the rear, and the President demanded order under rain of removal. Bill Cosgrove then queried an item in the Report concerning cleaning up of reserves: the Parks and Playgrounds Delegate snid such a plan had been discussed, and was being referred to various Councils: walkers may care to co-operate. Len Scotland said motorists were mostly to blame - the wealthier you became, the more litter you caused apparently. Bob Abernethy remarked that in South Australia some councils had obtained conviotion, against people causing this kind of nuisance, and Gil Webb said any cleaning up of parks would be followed by more litter, unless proper dumps were established, and notices exhibited to direct attentiola to them. Said the President: "In answer to your Webb, Mr. Statement, this is done at Hornsby..." and then the Secretary intercepted him, 
-Conservation Reports covered a variety of topics - a threat of a road into Era (suggested we keep in touch with the shack owners, who were as unhappy as we were at this plot), and that we make a new bid for a decision On dedication of Mark Morton Reserve. There was an . interim report on the Bush Fire Fighting Sub-committee's decisions, briefly, that we endeavour to enlist volunteers to fight fires in National Park at week-ends and an evenings during the week, the whole plan to be leagued with the Sutherland Bush Fire Brigade. (Len Scotland observed that the people who started fires were the abnormals sub-normals and drunks. "I fear, that covers everybody", commented the President.) 
-There were further conservation reports on timber cutting at Linden and along King's Tableland, and the development of Kedumba Pass to a rough road: also of the deputation to the Minister for Lands in connection with the Greater Blue Mountains National Park an November 18th. Surveyors seemed to be in short supply, but the Minister wculd consider the points raised. At the zresent time attention was focussed on the Central Section of the scheme, involving the Blue Mountain towns and their environs. 
-We were into General Business, with Dormie urging our Federation Delegates to goad the "University Ramblers" into pressing the Speliological Group to carry candles at all times. Amid cheers the motion was seconded, and afpr a brief, animated discussion of candles, carbide lamps, unfaithful newspaper reports, and the deficiencies of electric lanterns, the motion was lost. 
-. Len Fall mentioned the proposal to plant a memorial drive of  trees between Canberra and Sydney, sponsored by General Berryman, and sugrcested we support the plan and possibly meet tie cost of a tree (about 10). Kath Brown moved an amendment that we should definitely have our tree in the grove, and, after Tom Moppett had enlarged on the story, explaining that the scheme was not simply a line of trees or a grove, but envisaged retaining certain foreted Places adjacent to the road, amendment and motion were carried. 
-Now came a rather muddled debate Whidh started lucidly enough when Frank Ashdown mentioned excellent films available from American Informatim sources, provided a projeCtorcouJd be obtained for 16 m m. films. Len' Scotland asked did we want a'16 m m. projector. Up to the Club, said the President, he wouldn't touch it himself. 
-5. 
-Ross Laird said he was aware films were available from the American Council and would investigate for future Social evenings. Len .. Scotland moved the purchase of a projector for 50. 50?" said someone, ard after some hubbub the whole thing lapsed. 
-The President stated he proposed to place on the minutes a note of the work done by a party of members at Ern the previous weekend, when a bush fire was put out at the cost of considerable time and effort. Assent was readily given, though some one seemed upset at the quantity of drinking water used - cries answered that it was only the cows' drinking water. 
-Brian Anderson appealed for support for the winter walks Programme which would be commenced shortly - support and sore enterprise in working out novel trips or producing routes which had  been Programmed for sone time. 
-At 9.5, with the President's benediction and wish for, a Happy v Christmas, we ended the last General Meeting of 1953.

Then the carbide lamps arrived. Immediately the air was filled with, "Arrr - mighty!" "Bonno!" "Terrif!"Get a load of that!" - etc. We were at last in the Oolite Cave. This cavern is about 100-ft. long, 40-ft. wide and is 87-ft. high (found by a balloon tied to a string and filled with hydrogen).

Draw a horizontal line six inches long, and at one end erect a vertical two inches long, then connect the top of the vertical to the far end of the horizontal. Your last line represents a gradient of brie-in-three (a pretty steep hill by any walker 's reckoning)  Now measure off this hypoteneuse - unless +
- youile so bright you can do it by PythagorasTheorem. In my sketch +
-it worked out at about six and three-eighths inches, so the added length was three-eighths of an inch - about six percent. It seems +
-as though a "mile" on a rising grade of one in three will really be about 1,870 yards long. +
-You must beware the character who is the confirmed "inch-amiler". He has grown so attuned to reckoning an inch an the map as mile on the ground, he is incapable of coping with any other scale. If he starts working an theKosciusko Snow Lease maps, hell have you slugging out "miles" of about 2,500 yards. How easy it is to do, too! During this past year I was working on a map scaled at 1 inch to 100 chains for about a week before discovered an inch wasnft a mile. +

 Perhaps the best way to get a true picture of the length of a mile is to walk it along a railway line, where you have quarter, half and three-quarter mile pegs. The mile peg, of course, shows the distance from Sydney: the quarter is marked by a straight wood or concrete post, about five feet high, with a slanting cut off one top corner. At the half mile is a similar post with a pointed top, at the three-quarters one with a square out top. Pick a piece of line with cuttings, so you will have to stumble over sleepers and ballast, and see how long a mile or two takes. In future, your miles will probably be nearer the truth, if not nearer heart's desire. Perhaps the best way to get a true picture of the length of a mile is to walk it along a railway line, where you have quarter, half and three-quarter mile pegs.
