January 27 was the forty-seventh anniversary of Inglewood Borough. The Inglewood Record remarks that this fact "should provide the inhabitants with food for serious thought—rumination, indeed; a most appropriate occupation for a people whose welfare so much depends on the wellbeing of the cud-chewing, ruminating, stock on the farms of the district. In whatever particular Inglewood fails to he as good as it should be, the inhabitants have only themselves to blame for that failure. Apathy, indifference, that spirit of ‘Let the other fellow do it/ is so strongly rooted in the community that whatever new line is started the result is too apt to be like the youngsters’ crackers on Guy Fawkes’ night, and finish up in oae fizz—bang! with often a nasty odour left."
