Mercury, Monay 7 July 1952, page 6

A fund to assist nearly 40 families washed out of their homes in the Derwent Valley floods recently is being organised by the president of the Lutana branch of the A.L.P. (Mr. E. R. Cullen).
 
Mr. Cullen, who is also president of New Norfolk Trotting Club, suggested the establishment of a relief fund to the Warden of New Norfolk (Mr. R. M. Page), and already there has been a good response.
 
Mr. Cullen will be responsible for collection of funds from organisations in the Hobart area and suburban districts.
 
Donations to the relief fund may be lod'ged at New Norfolk Council chambers.
