Bill Henley had a word in our ears. At the 25th Birthday Party, he said, he was the only man with an axe: he was the only man to use an axe. If we wanted camp fires, it was up to us to provide them and not leave it to a few. It was time some dropped the mantle of Demosthenes (at meetings) and assumed the mantle of Hercules (at camps). He was applauded, and assured there would be axes and axemen for the barbecue. | Bill Henley had a word in our ears.

If things hadn't gone too far, he hoped something could be done to prevent a repetition with the other photo, failing that, he didn't want it. Brian Harvey explained that magazines had been rolled for that number, but evidently the Post Office had squashed a few. It maybe possible to get around the difficulty, but paper had been bought, and production of the other photo commenced. We should have to see what could be done. |
