[31/3/1954 7ac.] GUMERACHA SHOW - APPLES FEATURE Gumeracha Society claims the biggest fruit display in the State rivalling even the Adelaide Royal and on Saturday the section certainly was outstanding. Entries totalled 247, second highest to the record. Fifty of these were lodged by one exhibitor, H.E. Verrall & Son of Paracombe. For his trouble he gained the Stewards Challenge Cup, Balhannah Nursery Cup and the E.E. and D.A. Stephenson trophy together with 12 first, 7 second, and 4 third prizes. Trade displays were again much larger than in previous years and this trend has been noticeable at all shows this year. Sideshows were up to par and provide amusing diversions for the crowd. Horses in action entries received a boost and were fifty more than last year which ensured a full programme for the afternoon. The interesting Olympic Jump was won by a twelve years old girl rider. A new trophy for Hunter classes has been donated by Mr R.V. Hanna. Gumeracha CWA ladies were responsible for the catering and entire proceeds of the luncheon were handed to them by the Society for the purpose of assisting the Building Fund. Mrs C.

On Monday, January 17, the sudden death of Mrs Victor Sandercock of Kenton Valley, was a shock to her relatives and friends. On the previous day Mrs Sandercock celebrated her 61st birthday when her family and some friends spent a happy day together. In the evening her brothers of Launceston spoke to her by telephone. After an exciting day she collapsed and was taken to hospital the same evening. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to the bereaved family in the loss of a good wife and a good mother. Mrs Sandercock was of a friendly disposition and had a wide circle of friends. She was an ardent worker and a good giver to the many organisations in which she took an active part. A large gathering assembled at the graveside at North Gumeracha. [26/1/1955 6c.] STATE PRESIDENT ATTENDS GUMERACHA 21ST BIRTHDAY. State and Group officers, foundation members, together with representatives from most of the branches of the original Torrens Group accepted the invitation of the Gumeracha Branch of the CWA to attend the delightfully arranged luncheon held on June 24 in the local Institute. This made a pleasing background for gay bowls of poinsettia and berried foliage.

Mrs Burton proposed "Foundation Members" and recalled some of the amusing happenings as recorded in early reports. Mrs Robinson, foundation president, responded.

Mr V.A. Lee, after discussions, gathered a group pf parents in a private house. The group decided Mr Hayes could not teach their children. Every family signed a petition to the Education Department, with the exception of Mrs A.J. 'Gertie' Laughton and Mrs Ralph 'Olive' Sandercock. The result was that the school was closed at the end of the second term in 1943. The children then went to the Gumeracha school, which unfortunately did not have enough desks and students had to sit three to a desk. Transport was provided for the Kenton Valley children in the shape of a dark grey 1936 Chevrolet 'paddy wagon'. Its driver was Mrs A.J. 'Gertie' Laughton. There was room for two 'Juniors' on the front seat under the watchful eyes of the driver, and as many as could be packed in through a double door in the rear. The van had no side windows and the only ventilation for the rear compartment was through small vents in the front corners. The driver was able to quell any unruly behaviour merely by looking at her passengers through the small rear window above the front seat. The sisters Fae and June Boerth, Brian Camac, Grantley Cornish, Keith Plummer, Robert 'Bob' Laughton, Roger Lee, Fae Patullo, Denzil Sandercock, Peter Sandercock, Denis Seidel, and Ronda Wagenknecht travelled in the 'Black Maria' twice a day.
