+=== Democracy in Action. ===
+We mere thinking whilst watching the proceedings at the Annual General Meeting that a well run club is a splendid example of democracy in action. Probably a better example than Parlitment for there "Talkers" who are not "doers" can get elected. In the club a "Talker" is quick given a job where he must become a "doer" or shut up. Which brings us round to the thought that one who is not much of a talker but an excellent "doer" (may we be permitted to spell it dour?) to wit our old friend Brian Harvey has been business manager of this magazine for many many years, one of his self appointed tasks was to deliver a supply of magazines to the shop and collect moneys therefore and the cost of the Advertisement.
+Brian has now resigned from this job and we wish to put on record our appreciation of his constant and faithful service over the years.

+Some of the most acrimonious dialogue I have ever heard occurred during the preliminary planning for trips. Once the party had boarded the train, or in modern times, the car, the die has been cast; argument ceases with the tacit understanding that there are sufficient perils without dissension. If once commences as the junior member of the party this sound and fury can be most disturbing but in truth it signifies nothing. I listened in trepidation to these dialogues wondering how such persons could have been accepted as compatible, fearful of the mess that must result with four days or a week of being thrown together with all the pinpricks of wet camps, dry lunches and lost bearings to compound incipient mutiny. I watched one fellow all one Easter fearing that he might choose some unlovely cliff face to proclaim a republic and push the (loyalist) leader off a ledge. On other trips I was watchful for the first signs of revolt ready to throw in my lot. Such revolutions never occurred, and then after some years I realised all the arguments were concerned with food-listing, and my friends had a pathological horror of being derived of one meal. Being lost, tired, exhausted was as nothing to the possible loss of one snack. Unknown ridges, fearful sallee, gross surveying optimism, duff gen held no terrors for these people. One packet less of chocolate, a doubtful quantity of rice could reduce some of then, in the club rooms, to a state of nervous collapse. The disposition of tinned food would only be accomplished by taking each member aside, confidentially, and saying that someone else had two tins, or if you were the unfortunate two tinner that someone else had three.
