It has frequently come to my knowledge that parents have requested their children to purchase their School Books and Requisites, .etc., from me, and they have been purchased elsewhere.

1938 Blind, He Wants To Help Others. Every Christmas since he has been blind it has been the custom of 65-year-old blind Fremantle man Howard Hills to make carnival hats for sick children, orphans and inmates of other institutions. This year, however, a trip to Melbourne, undertaken in an unsuccessful quest to restore his sight, has depleted his resources, and he is unable to afford the crepe paper for the colored hats. Mr. Hills would appreciate donations of crepe paper… “This work helps me to forget my affliction, and although I have never seen the hats I have been told they are well made and gladden the hearts of the children,” Mr. Hills said. (reference)

"The Sunday Times" told the full story of how a trip to Melbourne was arranged for the blind man some time ago, and how a Melbourne specialist gave him a negative verdict. Mr. Hills has not overcome the bitter disappointment of that verdict. But that has not caused him to abandon a charitable work he commenced last year.

Locke Park is located at 44 Moss Street on the corner of Fletcher and Moss Street. The park is laid out geometrically with a central timber gazebo, four Washingtonia Palms, and a number of mature Peppermint trees. A hedge replaces the original Victorian Ti Tree hedge (see article below).

HISTORY

Locke Park is named after Herbert John Locke (1864-1944) was Mayor of East Fremantle 1924-31, 1934-44.

1947 Memorial Garden: A distinctive design marks the memorial garden now being formed at Locke Park on the East Fremantle recreation ground. To be dedicated to citizens who died on war service, the garden takes the design of a map of Australia. It is outlined in Victorian ti-tree, which is to be kept trimmed to a height of two feet, and the "States" are marked by paths constructed of small concrete blocks. Rose-bushes,for which the beds are now being prepared, will be planted during the winter. At the foot of the main design a bed of trimmed rosemary forms the device: "Lest We Forget." Measuring about 20 yards each way, the garden is set amid couch grass lawns. An elevated view can be gained from a rotunda situated directly beneath the design. On a ti-tree hedge in the background the figure of a kangaroo appears. The project was put into execution by the East Fremantle Municipal Council a fortnight ago following representations to local authorities from the National Rose Society urging the formation of rose gardens. The design adopted was conceived by the council's head gardener (Mr. J. G. Brown), who is supervising the work. (reference)
