Death
IT MUST have been a great shock to almost the whole of Healesville to learn of the sudden death of Dr. F. E. Hutchinson at Hawthorn, where he resided after leaving Healesville.
Dr. Hutchinson’s activities in Healesville brought him into contact with a great number of people and rarely did he fail to make a friend.
Perhaps the greatest monument to his work in Healesville was the Memorial Hall, of which he officially laid the first brick.
Improvements at Queen’s Park
AT A recent meeting between the Parks and Baths Committee of the shire council and the parks committee of the Tourism and Progress Association, it was decided to carry out improvements to the drainage and beautification works at the park.
Obituary
CONSIDERABLE regret was expressed among a wide circle of friends when the news of the death of Mrs. Helen Catherine Lowe was announced on Saturday night.
She passed away at her residence ‘Egremont’, West Healesville. She was 62 years of age.
She was a prominent member of the Methodist Church and was buried at Healesville Cemetery.

Methodist Church opened
ON SUNDAY, 31st July, at 2.30pm, the new Methodist Church at Don Valley was officially dedicated.
Between 50 and 60 cars lined the roadside from the public hall to Don Road.
It was difficult to estimate the number of people who packed the building.
New tip
Upper Yarra Shire Council will make an effort to find another site for a rubbish tip at Warburton.
Cr. Lloyd said the Scotchman’s Creek area was infested with rats and one of Warburton’s most picturesque beauty spots had been ruined by the unsightly dump.
