+=====At Our Own Meeting.=====
+Three new members were welcomed - Peter Jones, who was admitted last month, Hazel Firth and Bob Younger. It was announced that David McGoffin had been admitted, but was away in Brisbane.
+A vote of thanks to Dorothy Lawry was passed, in recognition of all the trouble she has gone to to prevent the establishment of a sanitary depot on the Warrah swamp. Dorothy, in reply told us the present position. She has, at the request of the Woy Woy Council, found an alternative site and is going up there to show it to the Council. She said that in any case the Council couldn't go ahead at Warrah without the consent of the Park Trustees, one of whom was Miss Crommelin.
+It was announced that somebody had broken the padlocks on our map drawers, though no maps had gone. Bill Hall offered to repair the damage.
+Renee Brown said that due to rationing and other difficulties arising from the war, the children's Christmas treat might have to be abandoned this year. It was decided to attempt to organise it and to apply to the Rationing Commission for the necessary supplies. Members were asked to save some potatoes for the event.
+The Bushwalkers' Services Committee has been very active. The Committee has posted a copy of "Australia - Official Handbook" and a collection of scenes entitled "Australia" to the lads overseas, so as to help them "to answer some of staggeri1g questions which they are asked by folks on the other side". The Rover Ramblers' barbecue yielded £6 for the Committee, and the S.B.W. Dutch Auction £3. In addition to the above publications 116 S.B.W. Magazines, 116 "Wildlife" magazines and 15 letters each containing a photo were posted in September.

+=====Federation Notes.=====
+At the Annual Conference it was recommended that the Federation should wholeheartedly support the Youth Hostels Movement in such matters as active instruction, help and advice; and not limit support to the conservation aspect, as was moved at the Conference by Mr. Kenyon.
+The Hon.Secretary was instructed to write to the Premier, Mr. McKell, congratulating him on his decision to have over a million acres of Southern N.S.W. dedicated as a Snow National Park. At the same time the suggestion was to be made that Trustes to manage the park should be appointed as representatives of interested bodies for short terms instead of an individuals for life.
+In connection with the proposed Blue Mountains National Park the Conservation Bureau suggestes that three Wilderness Areas should be advocated as follows:
+. Cox's River country from Breakfast Creek to Cedar Creek or Kedumba Creek.
+. The lue Labyrinth between the Warragamba River and Bedford and Glenbrook Creeks, from the Kings Tableland Road to Emu Plains.
+. The Wentworth Creek country from Linden Creek to the Mt. Hay ridges.
+These recommendations were endorsed and the Hon. Secretary was instructed to write conveying them to the Blue Mountains Shire Council as sponsors of the proposed park.

+=====The Library.=====
+Many members probably don't realise that we have in the Club one of the cheapest libraries in town and one in which you will probably be able to read good new books long before you would stand a chance of getting them out of an ordinary library. Here are the rules.
+"The Librarian may purchase any book when nine people sign a petition for its purchase and pay a fortnightly gubscription in advance. It shall be the duty of the proposer of the book to collect the subscriptions and hand them to the librarian.
+Non-fiction books of interest to walkers are to be purchased by the librarian when five people sign a petition and pay a fortnightly subscription and the Committee votes the balance of the purchase price. The Committee shall not, in any period of six months, vote more than £2.10.0 for the purchase of such books.
+The charge for new books shall be ld. per fortnight (or part thereof) per 2/6 (or part thereof) of the book's purchase price.
+The charge for books at present in the library (that is at the time of the formulation of these regulations) shall be ld. for the first fortnight and 2d. per wk thereafter."
+This means that if you want to read __any__ book, all you have to do is to collect a fortnight's subscription from 8 others and hand their names and subscriptions, together with your own, to the Librarian. If the book is popular it will take about 10 minutes to do this. If the book is non-fiction and of interest to walkers (e.g. Elyne Mitchell's "The Australian Alps" you need only collect four other names and subscriptions) If you do this you will be the first to have the books.
+I have done this for a couple of books I wanted to read and had no difficulty whatever in getting the necessary subscribers. And when the book is bought it is there for good for you, or any other member, to read.

+=====Birth.=====
+H. M. Green
+I heard a voice in the night, the green night, the warm night;\\
+"Wake, for the earth wakes; hear its birth."\\
+I listendd and hark, through the thick dark, the quick dark,\\
+I heard the green sprouts sprouting all over the earth.\\
+As I crept, soft-stepped, while the world slept.\\
+Lo, from her grey dream, heavy and cold\\
+Earth broke, and the hills woke, and the plains woke,\\
+And out of the swelling seas in the east, light rolled\\
+Then like a child the day smiled and the year smiled, and my heart smiled,\\
+For over the tomb of buried gloom\\
+Spring ran wild.

 AS I 1.7AS SAYETG
 Mr. and Mrs. Charles FL:afe have been promoted to PAREITTS. Reason for such promotion being the arrival of a son. to their establishment. We would U'Le to take this op-?ortunity while congratul-eting them on this hae:e2y event thanking them and Alice Wyborn for the hard work the- do for the magazine behind the scenes. These hard working people have the unenviable job of Roneo-ing the pages ever: month on an old and crank. machine. We have men the machine and are convinced it is a conecientious objector.
