CHRISTMAS IN THE MINING CAMPS The following article was published in the ‘Morwell Advertiser’ on the 23rd December 1921. The headline of the story was ‘Christmas Tree at Coal Mine.’ Unfortunately, the report is very difficult to read and appears to have been damaged at some time. Several key words are illegible and the entire last paragraph of this newspaper report is missing. Note: The unreadable words and phrases in the text are shown by ************* (illegible).

Former Yallourn FC rover ‘Alec’ (James Alexander) Shaw passed away on Thursday, 13th November after a long battle with illness.
As a youngster, Alec was an outstanding athlete and he was regarded as a potential star in local football in the early 1950’s. Such predictions of his ability proved true when, still a teenager, Alec won the senior team award for the Most Improved Player at Yinnar Football Club in 1953. He was also a member of the victorious Yinnar team that defeated Hazelwood in the 1954 Mid Gippsland FL Grand Final.
