Thanks are due to all who have so generously con- 
tributed books to the Library, and also to those mem- 
bers who worked so hard packing books. 
It is to be hoped that the New Year may bring with 
it a solution of our difficulty and that means will be 
found to enable the Library to again function normally.

REPORT ON EXCURSIONS, 1949 
An interesting and instnletive series of outings 
were arranged for members during the year, and as 
usual the major excursion took place during the Easter 
holidays. A party of more than fifty members attended 
this excursion to Mt. Alford in the Boonafe district, and 
were accommodated in the local School of Arts. 
Earlier in the year half-dav excursions were made 
to Birkdalo (February) and from Cavendish Road to 
Belmont (March). On the latter excursion Ihe party 
was accompanied by a group of Y.W.O.A. girls. 
In May a whole-day trip was made to Ipswich, and 
in June members spent a long week-end at Amity Point, 
on Stradbroke Island. A trip was made to Point Look- 
out during this excursion. Club activities were sus- 
pended in July owing to lighting and transport restrie- 
1 ions. 
The August excursion was to the Galon Experimen 
tal Drug Farm at Thornlands, near Cleveland. Tn Sep- 
tember tbe Club accepted an invitation from Dr. F. W. 
Whitefrovise to join him in a tour of tbe Redcliffe Renin 
sula. An interesting and varied day was held by all 
who attended. The October field excursion was a half- 
day trip to the Enoggera Reservoir, and in the following 
month members spent a half-day at the Albion Quarries 
and the nearby City Council Nursery.
