Population: 48 430. 5((0ND WARD ROOKWOOO C.E.MlT1'Y GENERAL With the pending conclusion of this triennial period, it is with pleasure that I am able to present for information pur­ poses, an outline of the various activities of Council during the three years commencing September, 1971. This report also covers the initial two Mayoral terms when the Office of Mayor was held by Alderman C. G. Noble. Amendments to the Local Government Act prior to that date, advanced the time for holding triennial elections from December to September; this alteration being intended for any newly elected aldermen to ob­ tain a grasp on the functions of Council prior to the commence­ ment of the coming financial year with its attending important tasks of considering estimates of income and expenditure and the fixing of a rate. At this point, I feel that some tribute should be paid to the enthusiasm and energies of my fellow aldermen who, in per­ formance of their aldermanic duties, attended many meetings of Council and Committees as well as becoming involved in multi­ tudinous "on-site" inspections to assist them in their decision making responsibilities. The 1972-7 4 triennial period witnessed the introduction of many important amendments to the Local Government Act which, in a particular manner, affected or were designed to affect environ­ mental control and strengthen the powers of council to play a greater authoritative role in community government.

  • Reta Light Memorial Trust Catalogue of Acquisitions
    CATALOGUE OF ACQUISITIONS University of Newcastle Library 1991-2002 Biographical Notes 3 Some Rare Gems 4 Further Reading 11 Complete List of Acquisitions 12 The Reta Light Memorial Trust - 2 - The University of Newcastle Library's first and most generous bequest was that of Miss Reta Light (1898 - 1989), who upon her death in September 1989 left a $1.5 million capital trust. The Light Memorial Trust was formed to administer the endowment. According to Miss Light’s will, the interest on the capital was to be used to purchase books, periodicals, microfilms and musical scores. Reta Light (1898 - 1989) Reta Light was born on the 15th March 1898 in the family home at Cowper Street Carrington. She was the youngest daughter of Morris and Sarah Light. Morris Light was a well respected businessman and public figure, the founder of the furniture store known as the "House of Lights" and later M. Light & Son, as well as alderman on both the Carrington and Newcastle Councils. He was Mayor of Newcastle from 1924-25 and is credited for having set in motion the self-funding construction of the Newcastle City Hall and Civic Theatre. Reta was described as talented, shy, self-indulgent yet generous, strong willed and eccentric. She loved to travel, spoke fluent French, and divided her time between France and Australia. During the World War II, whilst in Paris, she was imprisoned by the Nazis, and sent to a concentration camp, while her sister Hilda had fortunately escaped and was protected by nuns. Upon her return to Australia, Reta developed a range of investments, indulging her passions for fur and opals.

We have tried to infuse the story with explanations, extensive references to club members and laughter which they have created. IThe pictorial coverage was made possible by the co-operation and willingness of members and friends of Rotary to loan photographs. Special thanks to PDG Paul Henningham for permission to quote from his book “Seventy-Five Years of Service”. I appreciate the assistance of former Rotarian Geoff Moses who served twice as President, for his guidance and encouragement given during the search and collection of information. If this book helps the members, past, present and future, to learn more of their club and its development, then the main purpose has been fulfilled. – Ken Lyons Project Editor & Club Historian Researched, compiled and edited by: Ken Lyons, Project Editor and Club Historian Printed by: CB Printing, 31 Bowman Street, Richmond Typesetting by: Robinsons’ Typesetting Services, 23 Walker Street, South Windsor FOREWORD THE club’s 50th anniversary is a momentous achievement and cause for great celebration.
