TATURA FARM
GIVEN TO
C E B S APPEAL
Mr A. G. Maskell, of Burton Hall, Tatura, has given his free- hold property of 330 acres, to- gether with the homestead, to the Church of England Boys' Society.
The property is in an irrigation district. It will be used as an adjunct to St Hubert's CEBS training farm at Yering.
Canon P. W. Robinson, chair- man, CEBS, and Mr G. J. Pen gilly, assistant secretary, went to Tatura yesterday, at the request of Mr Maskell, to receive the title deeds of the property.
Canon Robinson, chairman of the CEBS, said last night that Mr Maskell's very generous gift was an indication of the interest aroused by the appeal for £ 50,000 to develop the work for under- privileged boys at the Yering
training farm.
