-CONTENTS.
+As we told you last month, the Business Manager is very firm about each issue of this magazine being kept down to 11 pages. That is one good reason for putting his story last this time. If some of it should get squeezed out, he may appreciate the Editor's difficulties in trying to cram a good magazine into 11 pages! But we really hope Miss Brennan will manage to squeeze it all in, not out, when she is cutting the stencils for us.
+Seriously though when you write articles, etc., for "The Sydney Bush Walker", do make them snappy. Write up your trips in detail for the Recorder (Charlie Pryde), and then turn round and write a sketch of the high spots for publication. We can't give you more than 2 pages per article per issue; we don't want to run more than one serial at a time, if any; we do want lots of short articles, poems, paragraphs, and stories so that we can bring out a "brighter and better" issue each time.
-Editorial. 1
+Constructive criticism io also welcomed, but what we want is a steady flow of contributions. We see ourselves as your newspaper, and your literary outlet. It is up to you.

-Federati2. Ne'm:; 3
+And it came to pass that a certain young man, who was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, arose up out of the City of Sydney, and went to tarry in the land of the Tasmanites. And, as he was in haste to reach the land of Tasman he did peradventure journey to the City of Melbourne and there he boarded a ship cross the Strait of Bass. And he did meet a seller of goods, who spoke many words about himself and his achievements (for such is the manner of these people) and also a youth of tender years, who did squander his silver on strong drink and who said unto the young man "My father is a banker in the City of Hobart. Came (( [sic] )) and feast with us." Also, did he see two maidens with faces painted like unto the pomegranate though the lily which receives neither paint nor powder had beauty far exceeding these. Moreover, whilst walking on the upper deck he did espy a spinster of uncertain years, who did fall on the neck of one of the mariners. And the young man turned about, and thought of the vanity of human nature. So he came to the north of the Island of the Tasmanites, picked up his baggage and, after long journeying did arrive in the City of Hobart.
-Holidv.Tr4; October 1937, by C. Pryde 4
+Being, therefore, arrived, he was welcomed by a certain tribe, whose aim was to do a daily turn of good, and they did take him many places, fed him and carried him in their caravan to the top of a high mountain, whose name is Wellington. And there he saw the kingdom of the Tasmanites spread out about his feet, and marvelled in his heart at the beauty and the richness of the land.
-"Paddy" 6
+Thus the young man tarried four days, but being of a restless and questing spirit, he took a caravan and, with his small boat, he departed into a mountainous land of many waters, whose name is St. Clair. Peradventure, he met a certain Fergie, a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, who resides on the shores of the great lake called St. Clair. And the young man liked the country and tarried one day by the shores of the lake. But, on the morrow, he entered into his boat and, after four hours paddling, he came at length to a cabin at the head of the lake on a river, which is called Narcissus. Now, the cabin, which is but of two rooms, one of which has no roof and only three walls, contained a comfortable bunk. So the young man dwelt there three days. And oft times, when he cooked his evening meal, he looked to heaven and saw the wistful stars and heard the wind soughing in the tree tops.
-At Our Very Own Meetings 6
+And it came to pass that, on the third day, he girded his loins and made ready to depart. But, as he saw the sun rise over the mountain whose name is Gould, he stayed to marvel at the wonders of the country. And about mid-day, a fierce wind sprang up from the north west, and lashed the lake to white foam. So the young man entered his boat and came down the lake; but wishful to find calm water, he crossed to the other side, but found it not. Therefore, he said to himself. "I will sail down the centre of the lake." But, when he was a mile from either shore, the gale increased and the waves beset him. So he set out for a point three miles distant, and, speeding along on the white crests, which were at time 6' high, he arrived very soon at the shore, where, alas! his boat was swamped. So he landed and placed his boat on the track and, carrying his baggage on his back, journeyed twelve miles tc the house of Fergie, through the storm. And, on the morrow, being rested, he made a compact with the man Fergie to recover his boat, and departed once again to the City of Hobart.
-Do You Kaow How tc 7.91k? 7
+Now it game to pass that the young man was well thought of among the tribe whose motto is "Be prepared", and they gathered their elders and questioned him, for they thought to make him one of their high priests. And the young man met a friend from the City of Sydney, whose name is French, and he, being also well thought of, was also questioned.

- Now it game to pass that the young man was well thought of among the tribe whose motto is "Be prepared'', and they gathered their elders and questioned him, for they thought to make him one of their high priests. And the young man met a friend from the City of Syanay, whose name is French, and he, being also well thought of, was also questioned.
 And when these things were over the two friends set off on a great ship and crossed the sea and returned to the land of their fathers.
