 We take much pride and pleasure in announcing that the National Bureau of Standards of the U.S.A. has invited Malcolm McGregor (and Elsa and wee Bobbie too) to visit the U.S. for seven months to convey to the American technicians the know how of recent developments in that branch of electronics in which the C.S.I.R.O. leads the world. Malcolm leaves by air on 25th September whilst Elsa and Bobbie follow in R.M.S. "Orsova" on 8th October probably at 4 p.m.)
-A "Bon Voyage" will be tendered the McGregors on the night of Saturday, 14th September, when the official  Weekend Walk of 14/15 September will camp in the spacious grounds of the President's home at 12 Mahratta Avenue Wahroonga, on that Saturday night. This arrangement will permit all members to join in the celebrations. Members camping overnight need not bring tents, and they can join the Sunday Walk led by David Ingram which commences from Wahrooga Station at 9.45 a.m. and which coincides with the second day of the Saturday afternoon-Sunday walk. However, all attending are advised to bring their own tucker for supper but cocoa will be on tap. There are already rumours of heads being put together to concoct a "do" so don't miss out! Bring your copies of the "Chronic Operas" and your song-books.
