  General Notes:

Serious Cycle Accident.
A collision between two motorcycles on the Aloomba-Gordonvale Road resulted in three young men being seriously injured. On Sunday afternoon last a motorcycle controlled by Mr Claude Lander of Deeral, with Mr C. Lander as a passenger on the back carrier, collided with Mr Joe Schinkle, who was travelling to meet them. The two cycles met head on, and in the impact the three young men were thrown off. Mr Claude Lander suffered injuries to the head, which resulted in a loss of consciousness, which continues. Mr Schinkle also is still an inmate of a hospital, and Mr Lander, after having seven stitches inserted in a gash in the head, returned to work on Monday morning. But Gordonvale ambulance was quickly on the scene, and, after rendering first aid, conveyed them to Cairns.
