The Electrode – Vol. 1. July, 1921 No. 8. – page 17-18

Now that the building programme is practically finished for the present, a committee of the tenants has been formed to promote a social feeling, and to carry out a scheme of improvements and mutual assistance. The first co-operative effort took place on Saturday, April 39, when over twenty mustered to cart filling.  As Messers. Hack and Bryan are both unfortunately sick, and Mr. Laird has only one hand, it was decided to help them.  Despite the powers of the clerk of the weather, the job was carried out much to the satisfaction of the helped and helpers. No better start could have been made than this; it was splendid. Many ideas are under consideration to improve the village, and to provide pleasure for the whole village.

Messers. Robertson, Harper, and Job are the latest to take up their abode at Lutana, and no doubt will soon be active workers in any stunts that are organised.

The postal authorities have consented to instal a public telephone and establish a letter clearance. This will be much appreciated. As time goes on it is expected that more public utilities will be provided.

A visit to the village will surprise those who have not been there recently. Most of the tenants have put in a lot of work on the gardens, both back and front, and the results are now in evidence. War has been declared on those pastoralists in Moonah who farm the public streets, and use them as grazing areas. Even the "stumps" are o be tackled in the street planting scheme, so that the new trees will not be destroyed.

Mr. Jack Crabtree is hon. secretary to the movement, and although he seemed a bit doubtful which end of the horse should go into the cart first, he is coming on. Through the kind offices of Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Charlie Reynolds, the metal necessary for paths, and the carts to lift it, have been made available.

The villagers are going to turn a party out every Saturday, so arranged that each man does a bit one Saturday out of three.
