-SALE OF RIFLES. The Federation will protest to the Premier's Department on the decision to make available 303 rifles to the general Public, on the points of conservation and safety in the bush.
+=== Sale of rifles. ===
-BOUDDI NATURAL PARK. Annual report indicated that the 1953 bush fires had resulted in bad soil erosion in the Park. Illicit timber felling had been detected, and a fence had been repaired to prevent repetition. 300 had been granted by the Lands Department.
+The Federation will protest to the Premier's Department on the decision to make available .303 rifles to the general public, on the points of conservation and safety in the bush.
-SEARCH & RESCUE SECTION. Following the Holland search, the Federation had requested the Police Department to write to the respective employers of the S & R Personnel acknowledging the assistance of the members of the Section in that Search. The Police agreed but later rescinded as they stated they did not desire to place the Department under any obligation to the employers concerned. It later transpired that the Headquarters Staff were under the misapprehension that the S & R Section had volunteered their services in this and other searches, whereas it was the Police who had requested the S & R to assist them. Steps have been taken by the Police laision officer to correct the false impression at H.Q. with the result that the Federation is hopeful that somewhat belated letters now will be sent to the employers concerned expressing appreciation of the latter's action in releasing staff to join in searches during the working week.
+=== Bouddi Natural Park. ===
-Further conferences with the Police and the R.A.A,F. have resulted in standardised signals. A red Verey light will be the recall signal. The R.A.A.F. will use grid maps one inch to the mile. Foot parties will be issued with Ground Strips - 6 strips of white material to be laid in a prearranged pattern. Owing to legal difficulties, a bushwalker observer could not be carried in R.A.A.F. planes, Which in future will operate from Canberra. A modified list of essentials for parachute drop to lost Parties is in hand. Wherever Possible the Police will supply transport and more use of radio is to be made, e g. to organise civilian volunteer cars from Katoomba to convey search parties to starting points.

-The Federation has adopted an insurance scheme whereby members of the S & R section officially taking part in a search, or practice search, will be covered against death or accident. Injured members, unfit to work, will receive 12 per week plus medical expenses. Members will be covered from the time of leaving home until return. A S & R Practice Weekend will be held an the weekend of 18-19th September in the Carlon's-Galong Creek-Breakfast Creek area.

-A Bushwalker, having just bought his ticket to Blackheath, was given 12 pennies change. "Sorry for all the coppers", said the Booking Clerk. Also one of the pennies is a counterfeit coin, but unfortunately I don't know which one as they all look alike. However it will weigh lighter or heavier than a good penny. The Station Master has a set of balances in his office, but no weights, so you must weigh the coins against each other. If in three weighings you can find the counterfeit coin, Mr. Winsor's Department will be only too happy to replace it with a good one".

 The Bushwalker (1 think his name was Ashdown) hurried into the Station Masters office, and in three weighings was able to identify the spurious coin. How did he do it? We have a prize for the first Person who hands in the correct solution to the Editor.

-  'The road is my home, reaIly. It's a wonderful thing, a road. It seems to lead anywhere and everywhere. It's always a sort of adventure. You know how you feel when you wake early and look out at a glorious morning. It seems so futile to be in one place -- doesn't it? After a long night trip under the stars, with the hoofs and harness and wheels making a song, and all the people drowsy and comfortable, when it is dawn, you get anew team and swing out again on to the road, and it stretches ahead, all bends and dips and hills and gullies. There is a smell of the earth that you get to love, au the birds are marvellous in the early morning; and the trees, even their green is different. And the wind rushes past, cool, yet with a sort of warmth about it.'
