A WALKING ARMOURY
"A rather fearsome-looking man who on acquaintance proves to be a very, fine fellow," was how Mr. Gv N; T, Goldie, of the Wellington City Council traffic office, described the American policeman, in a. speech to the Wei-.,----lington Travel Club yesterday after-" noon. Mr. Goldie said that the Amefi--can policeman wore a belt full of•-. cartridges, carried a pistol in a holster, -. and had a baton projecting from, one ; pocket and part of a pair of hand-. cuffs from another. He was rather " surprised that the American police-. men had addressed him as "Sir." They" did not know as much as the London policemen, "who were marvellous for , knowing -things," but they were just .as polite and-just as helpful.
