HORSE BOLTS WITH SULKY
A runaway that might have been attended by more serious consequence recently occurred at Edungalba. Mr C. Dobbs, dairyman, of Boolburra,
was bringing his cream to the railway in a sulky. The horse look fright at a railway motor tricycle standing near the level crossing, and bolted.
Narrowly missing a stationary utility truck, the horse continued madly in the direction of the river, the occupant of the sulky hanging grimly
to the reins. Realising that a probable, capsize would result if the runaway was allowed to career down the steep riverbank, Mr Dobbs made a
desperate effort and succeeded in turning the horse into some small saplings. Collision with one of these brought the sulky to a sudden stop,
but the harness broke and the horse dragged Mr Dobbs out of the sulky and along the ground before he could release his hold on the reins.
Mr Dobbs was fortunate to receive only minor abrasions and a severe shaking. The sulky was not badly damaged, though the body work was twisted on the axle.

CORRESPONDENCE
VIEWS OF A DAIRYMAN
Sir.-Having read Impressions of other dairymen In regard to the present position of our industry I feel that after more than 30 years of dairying I
have some right to ventilate my ideas of dairying and dairymen. Now, I am not advocating up to Is.7d. per lb. for butter for a while - which the
Rockhampton factories were paying during the last war-now that dairies are well established, but at least 1/- per lb. should be the average, not 10½d,
if you are lucky and far less if you are unlucky. There are a lot of people living in towns who, after paying 1/- per lb. for their butter think dairymen
are among the best paid in the community, but they are a long way from the mark. I may say that when there was no Government interference we had factory
control of it, but when the Government took a hand we were done to a turn.
After the last war we suffered a depression, from which, unlike the rest of the community, we never emerged owing equally to Government interference
and the apathy of the dairymen. As we all know, the State Government bolstered up the LPA for quite a while, but without the cooperation of the dairymen
with time and money-which was not forthcoming-the Government closed it down. In our centre all that came to the meetings for months were the chairman,
secretary and one member. Well, along comes the dairymen's association with a fee of 5s per annum, not enough to pay a decent organiser, let alone to pay
for stationery and stamps and provide a fighting fund, and without a fighting fund you can do nothing-a fact which any unionist can corroborate.
Nothing under £1 membership ought to be charged to be effective.
I do not think the factories are wholly to blame for the present trouble. in my opinion it lies with the Governments, State and Federal, which
panders to one section of the States to the detriment of the man on the land who has got into a rut from which there is no moving him. Had we a
live union the industry would not be in its present state and no Govern- ment would be game to ignore us.
The Minister for Agriculture said recently that the dairymen were to be regimented, but methinks that can be carried too far and he, as well as his colleagues,
might find their Waterloo. I see the State has built a plant to deal with second-class butter, and entered into a contract with the British Government
for a great supply. Dairymen, if you do not organise and get together a fighting fund I, as an old dairyman, can see you being made the country's slaves
in the future as you have been in the past.
I have never met Mr Hobler, of Bajool, but judging from what he writes he is a man after my own heart. Perhaps when the New Order is fixed up after the war
we will get our rights, but without a cudgel I have my doubts about it.
-C. DOBBS, Boolburra.

DEATH OF MR C.DOBBS
The death of Mr Charles Dobbs, which occurred in Rockhampton recently, removed one of Edungalba's oldest and most respected residents.
Born in Lincolnshire, England, 73 years ago, he came out to Australia with his parents at the age of 17. The family settled in Mt Morgan,
where Mr Dobbs secured work and continued working for that company for 22 years. For part of this time Mr Dobbs lived at Kabra,
where he did ironstone quarrying and supplied iron ore to the Mt Morgan smelting works. At Kabra too, Mr Dobbs, always a keen poultry fancier,
conducted a poultry farm and became a well known exhibitor at the Rockhampton shows, where his birds won many prizes.
In 1915, Mr Dobbs removed to Boolburra, where he engaged in dairying and raising Stud Jersey cattle and resided until his death.
He was a member of the Duaringa Shire Council for a number of years, and until the past two years, when ill-health claimed him, he took an
active interest in anything for the advancement of the district. He was a staunch supporter of the Church of England. A kindly natured man,
he was held in high regard by his many friends. He is survived by his widow, one daughter, Mrs E. H. Goodwin (Bluff), one son, Alex (Boolburra),
and eight grandchildren. He was laid to rest in the North Rockhampton cemetery, a Minister of the Church of England conducting the burial service - Edungalba correspondent.
