NEED OF RAIN
BATTLE WITH FIRE
INLAND NEW SOUTH WALES
SYDNEY, 3rd January.
The back country is in dire need of rain in many of the fire-swept areas. The Cobar district comprises an expanse- of smoke and flame with an oasis in which people and stock are crowded for relief, while hundreds of men are fighting a griia battle against the insistent fires.
Only rain, and that soon, can save many people from ruin.
Bush and grass fires are still menacing many stations and homesteads in south and west Now South Wales.
Fires for a time threatened the Federal capital, and the whole of Canberra's fire-fighting facilities were employed to avert the clanger. With a fortunate change of wind anxiety was allayed. \
