Essendon Gazette 7 August 1915
The fortnightly meeting of the above branch was held on the 28th ult., when Mr. C. Easey presided. Two new members were welcomed, and one proposed. Messrs. A. Glendenning, T. Sudgman, and C. Cross were present on leave from Seymour. The secretary read the following list of members who have enlisted since last meeting:—A. Doig, V. Trugeon, T. Sudgeman, T. White, H. J. Butt, S. Neale, A. W. Burlison, R. H. Wishart (committee), A. J. Ross, W. Mongon, W. Dalgleish, W. Corrigan, A. S. Thomas, B. Ferri, B. Pring, H. Parris, A. Liddell, making the total to date 66. Members were congratulating themselves on their success in having secured a public 'phone placed on the Kensington station, but a rude shock was given by member Hanrahan, who stated that three weeks ago a silent cabinet was placed in position—so good so far; but the trouble is that it has been silent ever since. No wires have been connected, or any attempt made to do so. It was resolved that the secretary communicate with Mr. Fenton, M.H.R., on the matter. The item on syllabus was a tournament debate, but the secretary received notice that for some reason or other the debaters would not be present, so members for once were able to go home early. Next meeting. August 11th, syllabus item: Lecture by Mr. Blackburn, M.L.A. Subject: "The Army and the People."
