Three Springs Function - Departure of Rev. and Mrs C. A. Walsh
"In honour of the Rev. and Mrs C.A. Walsh, who left the district on Tuesday last for Kalgoorlie, a valedictory function was held in the Three Springs Hall during the previous evening and was attended by a large number of residents of that portion of the North Midlands parish and also visitors from Carnamah and Arrino. The Venerable Archdeacon C. E. Storrs of Northam was also present and during the evening made eulogistic reference to the sterling qualities of the Rev. and Mrs Walsh. Other speakers were Messrs R. Withers (Vestry), J. Kuhnberg (Red Cross Society and North Midlands Hospital Board), and A. W. Potts (Guild), and on behalf of the residents of Three Springs and district Mr C. Maley presented a cheque to the Rev. Walsh, who acknowledged the gift in an appropriate response. Mrs Walsh was also made the recipient of a gift from the pupils of the Sunday School. After the serving of supper dancing was resumed and continued for a couple of hours after midnight to music supplied by Miss L. Carter, who was assisted by Mrs Wells (Carnamah), Mrs E. L. Franklin and Miss Bussenschutt."
