The Granitetown Public School was erected last week; the building having come from Sydney in sections.
Mrs. O’Connor, daughter of Mrs. M. Strahan, of Mynora, was taken suddenly ill on Sunday, admitted to the local hospital and was operated on the same evening by Drs. Street and Quilter for appendicitis. The patient is, we are pleased to report, progressing satisfactorily.
The P. G. Dept. has approved the establishment of postal facilities at ‘Moruya Quarry’. It will be an Allowance Post office with money order and Savings Bank facilities. Mails will be exchanged six time weekly with Moruya.
Moruya has certainly gone gay, the air being full of euchre parties, dances, bazaars, queen competitions, fairs, pictures, ploughing matches, golf and tennis tournaments, etc. But with that grand community spirit for which our district has ever been renowned, every organisation gets its quota.
It was to help augment the funds for Miss Mary Boot’s queen candidature that Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Stephens and others arranged a successful evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Moran, River Street [Moruya], on Monday night. Mr. A. W. Constable conducted the euchre tournament; the lady’s prize (a linen centre piece) being won by Mrs. M. Jordan, and the gentleman’s (military brush and comb) by Mr. Phil Crapp. Mrs. Harry Williams was presented with the booby prize, a black kewpie. Dainty refreshments were then served.
A camping area for the accommodation of huge crowds desiring to witness the historic opening of the new Federal Parliament is to be set aside at Canberra during the visit of the Duke and Duchess of York. The hostel accommodation will be required for official guests.
Moruya hospital is at present undergoing a severe strain upon its financial resources through the large number of patients who are almost daily being admitted. Although three were discharged on Thursday – Percy Hall (Nelligen) and the little boys Cumes and Parsons (Narooma) who had their legs broken, there are now eight in hospital.
Mr. A. Mison and his family have moved into their new and compact little cottage erected by Mr. B. Coppin and Mr. C. Stubbs on the corner of Shore and Thomas Streets, Gundary [Moruya]. The structure is of concrete bricks, with a verandah facing both streets.
At Bodalla a start has been made to erect a butcher’s shop in the village. As the butcher’s shop at present is a mile away, this will be a boon to customers. The measles epidemic is gradually passing and the attendance at the local school will soon be back to normal.
