The Public Service and Press Sub-Branch was amalgamated with the Highgate Sub-Branch in early 1976 under the Highgate name.  The West Perth Sub-Branch was chartered on 1 July 1921 and changed its name to the Public Service Sub-Branch on 16 November 1943.  The Public Service Branch was amalgamated with the Press Sub-Branch on 21 March 1973 under the name Public Service and Press Sub-Branch.  In December 1935, the West Perth Sub-Branch had 249 members and was the second largest in the State after the City of Perth, in December 1936 – 211, in December 1937 – 225 (fourth largest), in June 1938 -156, in June 1941 – 127 and in June 1942 – 135.

At a meeting of returned soldier State civil servants convened in the Stirling Institute adjoining Government Gardens in 1922 it was decided to apply to the WA Branch of the League for permission to form a community of interest Sub-Branch.  At the inaugural meeting Dr J A S Bentley of the Medical Department was elected President and Mr A H Morrell of the Lands Department undertook the work of Secretary.

Following the approach to the State Executive for recognition, the League welcomed the idea of a community of interest Sub-Branch but suggested that as all Sub-Branches were recognised under district names, it would be advisable to adopt a locality title and as there was not at that time any organisation at West Perth, that name be adopted with the Public Service as a Section of the Sub-Branch.  A short time after the establishment of the West Perth Sub-Branch an approach was made to returned soldiers in the Commonwealth Service to join this organisation and as a result the membership grew to over 500.

Following WWI considerable dissatisfaction existed owing to the failure of Governments and the people generally to realise the special requirements of the re-establishment  of returned men.  Governments repeatedly stated “preference to returned men” as a matter of policy, but repeatedly appointed non-returned men to Government positions, particularly senior ones.  The west Perth Sub-Branch was continually engaged in a campaign to ensure the appointments of returned men and attained a fair measure of success, notwithstanding that many non-returned men were appointed on the grounds of superior efficiency, which was gained during the absence overseas of the returned soldiers.

The position was greatly improved when the Public Service Commissioner Mr G W Simpson agreed to discuss with West Perth Sub-Branch representatives at regular intervals, all pending appointments.  Unfortunately this arrangement was discontinued before the outbreak of WWII.  Following the retirement of Mr A H Morrell as Secretary, Mr Peter Ross undertook the duties and carried on in that capacity until his death in 1939.  The later Peter Ross was one of the stalwarts of the Sub-Branch and in recognition of his service, a Memorial Plaque was placed on the first tree in Lovekin Honour Avenue.  In 1939 Mr Bill Boyd undertook the duties of Secretary – Treasurer and after carrying out the combined job until 1946, relinquished the Secretarial work to Mr A M Brice but still retained the office of Treasurer.  At the time of writing this report (c1956), Bill, Boyd has served the Sub-Branch as Treasurer for a period of 25 years – an excellent effort.

In the years before WWII, membership decreased due mainly to men transferring to their district Sub-Branches, until the membership was in the vicinity of only 150.  The 1939-45 War saw some members back in the armed forces and others joined units of the Home Defence organisation.  Following the cessation of hostilities, the membership received a boost but the increase was not as great as had been anticipated.  At first there was a reluctance on the part of the younger men to undertake executive positions but gradually the import duties have been taken over by the younger generation – a very desirable state of affairs.

Change of Name.  In 1943 owing to a proposal for the organisation of a Sub-Branch in the West Perth area, the executive of the League indicated the desirability of the then West Perth Sub-Branch altering its name as there was no district connection between that locality and the Sub-Branch.  Consequently the West Perth Sub-Branch became the Public Service Sub-Branch.

Honour Avenues.  Probably the most important aspect of Sub-Branch activities has been the care of Honour Avenues in Kings Park.  As early as 1922 or 1923, the then West Perth Sub-Branch accepted the responsibility for assisting the Kings Park Board in the preservation of the avenues and particularly for the maintenance of the plaques commemorating the war dead.  The original ceremony of dedication of trees to honour those men who sacrificed their lives in WWI was held at the highest point in Kings Park on 3 August 1919.  At this ceremony trees raised from acorns from Windsor Great Park were planted in May Drive and at the foot of each tree, a plaque was placed giving full details regarding the deceased serviceman to whose memory it was dedicated.

Subsequently the avenue was extended from the Saw Avenue junction to the Crawley end of May Drive until May Drive Honour Avenue had 680 trees.  At a subsequent date, 100 Sugar Gum trees at the eastern end of Lovekin Drive were seta side to the memory of men who fell in the 1914-8 War thus completing the third phase of the Honour Avenue.  Unfortunately due to a number of factors the Oak and Plane trees in May Drive did not thrive and consequently after consultation with the Public Services Sub-Branch, the Kings Park Board decided to remove the trees and re-plant with Eucalyptus Botryoides trees.  this was done in 1941-2 and most of the trees grew vigorously and now form a fine avenue.

The fourth phase in the history of Honour Avenues commenced after the 1939-45 war.  As a result of enquires for memorial trees, the Kings Park Board agreed to make available 300 Sugar Gum trees lining Lovekin Drive.  As the custodians of Honour Avenue, the Public Service Sub-Branch was delegated by the Executive of the League to allocate the trees and arrange a suitable dedication ceremony.  On 5 December 1948 in a central position in Lovekin Avenue before a large gathering, His Grace the Archbishop of Perth DR R W H Moline MC DD dedicated the avenue to the memory of the fallen of the 1939-45 War.  The Honour Avenues Committee responsible for the carrying out of the ceremony comprised Mr L J Parkes (Chair), Mr A M Brice (Secretary), Mr W Boyd (Treasurer), Mr A H Hayles, Mr M Offer and Mr J E Watson (Kings Park Board).

Two subsequent smaller ceremonies have been held when plaques were placed at trees which had not been allocated previously.  Prior to the 1948 dedication, all plaques were placed in the ground at the base of the trees.  Due to the thoughtless actions of motorists and also for other reasons, it was decided to affix all plaques to the trunks of the trees and this work has been carried out.

State War Memorial Sub-Wardens.  At the invitation of the State Executive, the Public Service Sub-Branch took over the duties of Sub-Wardens of the State War Memorial on Remembrance Day 11 November 1951 under the Wardenship of Sir Ross McDonald.  In view of the excellent manner the members carried out their duties, the Sub-Branch was invited to carry on for a further year under the Wardenship of Mr Alex Reid.

In view of the visit of Her Majesty the Queen to Western Australia in March-April 1954, it was siting that the Sub-Branch should have the honour of acting as Sub-Wardens for the wreath-laying at the memorial by Her Majesty.  In consequence the Sub-Branch retained the duties of Sub-wardens for 1953-4 under the wardenship of Mr Frank Boan and all those members on duty at the historic wreath-laying ceremony by her majesty could not but feel honoured at the opportunity to be present at this impressive ceremony.

The duties of the Sub-Wardens were handed over to Highgate on Remembrance Day 1954.

Luncheons.  Monthly Luncheons were first inaugurated 1948 at which guest speakers have been invited.  For some time these Luncheons were well attended, but during 1954 owing to a falling-off in numbers, they were discontinued.  However, the advantages of member meeting in the Luncheon hour who could not attend night meetings was realised and the Luncheons again became a regular feature in 1955.

Annual Christmas Luncheons.  In 1948, it was decided to hold the pre-Christmas Luncheon on a bigger scale than the monthly Luncheons.  The experiment proved an outstanding success, the attendance being 188 including the Premier, Sir Ross McLarty, the Commonwealth Public Service Inspector, the Public Service Commissioner, the RSL State President and others.  In view of the success of the initial venture, the pre-Christmas Luncheon has become a regular feature.

Presidents. Owing to the absence of complete records, it is difficult at this date to set out a complete list of members who have occupied the position of President.  However, as far as can be ascertained the listing is as follows.  (1922) Dr J A S Bentley, Mr M Moss, Hon Hubert Parker, Mr N McAdam, MR R E Tyler, Mr G H PHILP, Mr N B Brice, Mr A H Hayles, Mr N Beckley, (1944-5) Mr A C Stephens, (1945-6) Mr L A Robertson, (1946-9) Mr L J Parks, (1949-50) Mr A H Day, (1950-1) Mr J C Morrison, (1951-4) Mr E C Townshend and (1954-5) Dr K Harris.

Honorary Secretaries.  The information regarding the occupants of the Secretarial position in the early stages of the Sub-Branch’s existence is also somewhat obscure and consequently the list hereunder may now be entirely correct. (1922) Mr A H Morrell, Mr Peter Ross, Mr W Boyd, (1947-52) Mr A M Brice, Mr R C Yeldon, Mr P Kelly, Mr S Harvey, (1955-6) Mr R Smith and (1956-) Mr C R Davies.

Up to 30 April 1974, 101 members had renewed their subscriptions to the Public Service and Press Sub-Branch.   At the May 1974 meeting it was resolved that if less than 15 members were present at three subsequent meetings, steps should be taken to amalgamate with Highgate Sub-Branch. At the August, September and October 1974 meetings, 19, 21 and 16 members respectively were present and at Christmas Luncheon, 25 members attended.

The membership number at end of 1973 was 110 and at the end of 1974 was 112.  At the end of May 1975, 86 members were financial with about 80 yet to pay.   Capitation fees were the sole source of revenue.

At meetings of April, May and June 1975, numbers attending meetings were 12, 13 and 12 respectively.  Members were reminded of the motion concerning amalgamation should numbers at three consecutive meetings fall below 15.

At a meeting in September 1975, 9 members were present.  They were reported to be “dissatisfied and upset” by poor attendance and it was decided that the President should take immediate steps to effect an amalgamation, the sooner the better. Sub-Branch President Bish Kwiecinski was invited to a meeting of HIghgate Sub-Branch on 13 October 1975, arranged especially to consider the matter of amalgamation.

At meeting of Public Service and Press Sub Branch on 15 October 1975, the motion of amalgamation with Highgate Sub-Branch was put and carried 20 – nil.  After some discussion it was agreed that the name of the new Sub-Branch should remain as “Highgate”, due mainly to the unwieldy title if “Public Service and Press”  were included.  Two Highgate members were present at the meeting.

The last Newsletter of the Public Service and Press Sub-Branch was issued in December 1975.

Highgate Member Helen Birch conducted the research for this section mainly from articles in The Listening Post.
