The</span><span> diagnoses had not been confirmed. In all 30</span><span> outbreaks of Newcastle disease had oc</span><span>curred. When the same disease broke out</span><span> about two years ago the time between the</span><span> occurrence of the first and last outbreaks</span><span> was four months. Mr.Kendall said that</span><span> within Victoria there was no restriction</span><span> on the movement of eggs, except that eggs </span><span>produced in the quarantine area must be</span><span> washed in Condy&#39;s fluid. However, the</span><span> South Australian authorities would not</span><span> permit any live poultry, carcases, or eggs</span><span> to enter from Victoria. New South Wales &nbsp;</span><span> would not admit live poultry and pigeons,</span><span> but would admit carcases of poultry and</span><span> eggs if produced on a holding not less than</span><span> 15 miles from any holding on which the</span><span> disease had appeared in the last three months.</span></p> <p><span> Following are the regulations governing </span><span>the movement of poultry in Victoria:- &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span> The removal of poultry from the quarantine </span><span>area to places outside such area is prohibited,</span><span> except in the case of one-day-old chickens, move</span><span>ment of which may be allowed on permit after</span><span> inspection of premises and declaration of health</span><span> by owner. The introduction of poultry to public</span><span> auction-rooms or markets from farms within the </span><span>area is prohibited. Permits for the movement of</span><span> poultry within the quarantine area may be granted</span><span> as follows:-</span></p><p><span> 1. From a farm to approved place of</span><span> slaughter, on completion of declaration of health </span><span>by owner. </span></p><p><span> 2.

  • Story: DROWNING SOLDIER RESCUED FROM YARRA

    <p>&nbsp;The Argus (Melbourne,Saturday 3 April 1943)</p><p>DROWNING SOLDIER RESCUED FROM YARRA</p><p>Diving fully c!othed into the Yarra, near Queen&#39;s Bridge, early yesterday morning, William Lauritz shipping provedore, of Merton st, Albert Park, rescued a soldier who was being rapidly carried down stream.<br>Believed to have fallen from Queen&#39;s Bridge, Pte George Frith, 24, of Morrah st, Parkville, was unconscious when taken from the water. He was admitted to a military hospital. His condition is not serious.<br>Mr Lauritz was working in his office, near the river, when he was told that a soldier was drowning. He had to swim 25 yards to reach Frith, who went under the water twice. Mr Lauritz clutched him with his left hand as he was disappearing a third time. With his right hand Mr Lauritz caught a rope thrown to him, and the 2 men were hauled to the bank.<br>Police said Mr Lauritz&#39;s action was courageous, particularly as he had not even waited to strip off a heavy leather apron. His act of gallantry will probably be brought under notice of the Royal Humane Society. </p>
