To mark the opening of the Pool, a barbecue was organized on the night of November 7, which included a parade of the latest models. Cox Brothers had great pleasure in joining the Hutchins Junior School committee to raise funds for that worthy cause.

COALTOWN
As one can imagine, the city's economy is directly determined by the work in the mines. Because the mechanization of the mines has led to increased production with lower operating costs, re-employment in the mines is unlikely for the majority of the laid-off men. It follows that the city's business houses are directly affected by the cloud hanging over the area, when rumors of further layoffs spread.
Talking only about the problems facing the city, without looking for solutions, is a negative attitude. All but a small percentage of the men laid off have been employed on public works, on drainage schemes, and in resurfacing the main roads leading to them.
IT'S A LONG, LONG WAY
Although work, locally, for boys, is more easily obtained, the scope is very limited—due to the limited choice of industry. DIFFERENT PLACES, DIFFERENT BROWNS The fact that the great majority of the men must look to a single industry for work results in the whole town "speaking the same language." To some extent, this has given rise to the disability of "not knowing how the other half lives" and can make the community feel that it is "different". Such an attitude is further emphasized by the practice of holidays in communities. Hand in hand with the mechanization of the coal mines came mass layoffs of men who had previously won the coal with pick and shovel.
However, all the talk of layoffs has probably led people elsewhere to conjure up images of soup kitchens, with rows of unemployed men and their families, and similar scenes associated with the Depression years of the early 1930s. But those who are able to see the possibilities of the future agree that the city's security and stability are assured for years to come.

These are really very good pictures for their age, as they were only taken with a regular box camera. There was no lamp attachment, the main lighting of the scenes was provided by the under and top lighting of the stage itself.
AROUND THE CORNER
Nothing could more vividly recall the exhilarating atmosphere of the grand stage that stood in the former Bourke Street Shop Dining Room than these three photos of two colorful venues designed by scenic artist Paul de Bur.

In the center, Father Bear greets Goldilocks at the cottage door. These are the "multiple gift" orders required for school children's Christmas parties in unexpected areas where the range of local goods may be very limited or opportunities for wider personal selection elsewhere few.
Almost the same system is used in the case of business houses that organize Christmas parties - and gifts - for their staff. Myers, who was working at City Despatch at the time, happened to photograph two of these beautiful stage sets.
