Freak accident at Crib Point Base
Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A SEVERE and painful accident occurred at Crib Point Naval Base last week, by which Mr R. Brown, of Bittern, sustained severe injuries. He was attending to some machinery, when, by some means, his clothes became entangled, and they were practically stripped off him before assistance arrived. The services of Mr Prince, of the First Aid, were obtained, and he advised medical treatment. On the arrival of Dr Atkinson, the sufferer was found to have several ribs broken, and the body severely bruised. He was ordered to the Melbourne hospital, where he is now progressing as well as can be expected. *** LIEUTENANT Claude Grice, son of Mr James Grice, “Moondah”, Frankston who was wounded in France recently, is, we are pleased to state, improving, and has been removed front France to a London hospital. *** A FOOTBALL match between Frankston and Hastings juniors was played at Frankston on Saturday. last. Frankston again proved too good for the visitors, who were defeated by 24 points, the final scores being Frankston 6.11. Hastings 3.5. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, before Messrs Oates (chairman) Williams and Grant, J’s.P., a youth named George Vivian, 18 years was charged with stealing a cash drawer from the goods shed at the Frankston railway station, on the night of 18th June. DECKING
The accused pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three month’s imprisonment the bench recommending that he be given into the charge of a reformatory. *** RECOGNISING the splendid work done by the Frankston Wattle Club in entertaining wounded soldiers, and the consequently heavy expenses incurred by the club, the Moonee Valley racing club recently decided to donate £50 to the club funds, and a cheque for that amount has now been received by the secretary, Mrs. A. G. Wilcox — Further donations of a similar nature would be welcomed. *** A HIGH tribute was paid by the Minister of Defence, on Tuesday, to the excellence of the curative work which is being carried out by the Victorian military authorities at the Langwarrin detention camp. Senator Pearce visited the camp in the morning, accompanied by the Acting State Commandant (BrigadierGeneral Williams). He subsequently stated that it had afforded him great pleasure to discover how well the camp was being conducted. Since he last visited the place vast improvements had been effected, and the demeanor and discipline of the patients was all that could be desired. He thought that the manner in which the camp is now being conducted was an object lesson in humane and sympathetic administration of a very difficult problem. *** A PUBLIC meeting under the auspices of the W.C.T.U. with the
without reserve.
*** AN old colonist in the person of Augusta Sophia Petrie, relict of the late James Petrie, died suddenly at Nurse Keogh’s private hospital on 11th June at the ripe old age at 88 years. The deceased lady, who was the mother of Mr D. H. Petrie, of Frankston, came to Victoria over 80 years ago, and her grandfather came to New South Wales over 100 years ago, and held the position of Deputy Commissary General of New South Wales for over 20 years. *** IT is quite a long time since an entertainment has been held in the Tyabb hall in aid of other than patriotic funds, but on Friday evening last the Church of England Ladies Guild held a very successful concert in aid of the Church building fund. A splendid programme was submitted mostly of local talent assisted by some first class artists from the Langwarrin Camp. The hall was comfortably filled, and the chair was occupied by Rev. M Coates. The Old Scholars Club again staged a side-splitting farce which greatly amused the whole audience as also did Smith and Lamb, the Comedy Twins from Langwarrin. *** ACCORDING to Dr J. S. Duvel, of the United States Department of Agriculture, America has already made great sacrifices for feeding the men at the front, and has sent to Great Britain 200,000,000,000 bushels of wheat out of her savings. ***
