Hello Group, Need some help with a picture or story on the front cover of the Gosford Times around 1925-1933. My father tells the story of when he was a young boy living in Narara St Gosford near the racecourse, he caught a snake. While walking back home, the local constabulary pulled him up and asked him "Young Billy what have you got in the bag?". My father replied "A snake, Constable". But the constable, knowing my father, said to young Billy (William), "Ah ha you think I'm a fool, give it here young son. It's either a rabbit or cat of some kind." Young Billy gave the bag over. When he emptied the bag, the constable jump back in fright, only to discover the slippery critter instead of a furry ball of delight. Now this all occurred outside the Old Times newspaper where the local reporter saw this event. He rushed up to young Billy and said, "Could you hold onto that critter 'till I get's me camera. I only be a jiff." Young Billy spoke out, "No worries, mate." And before you could say "Jack Robinson", Young Billy smiled as he held up that snake while that reporter captured this story that my father relates. Now the only sad part of this story which my father relates, is that he regrets not getting a copy of that picture or newspaper that carried this episode to substantiate. Well the family travelled to Gosford Library past, to see if we could find some reference to this young cheek. But alack, alas, no picture we could find, nor in the short time any story of such kind. So when you browse the Gosford Times, if you should come across young Billy Mills on the front cover, we would appreciate some lines. With Apologies to any poets, Wal Mills Metford (near Maitland which is up the road from Sydney NSW)
