SHE WAS LOYAL
WOMAN WITH SHOTGUN. With a range-finder three men were making a survey of land near a Melbourne munitions factory when they were startled by; “Gel out ot this. Yon can't take pictures with fancy cameras here.” It was a woman. She brandished a shotgun. “Get going.” she said. "But . . .” said the men. “Get along," the woman said, and raised the gun. They were forced to enter their mctor-car and leave. Soon afterward the car was stopped by a police patrol. The woman iiad telephoned Ijie police, after seeing the suspects off the premises. They satisfied the patrol that, they were what they claimed to be—high officials of the Defence and Supply Departments!
The woman received a letter from the Minister for Supply (Mr. Casey) congratulating her on her bravery and initiative. The letter was written at the instigation, of one of the "suspect s." There's one more point to the story.
‘l'he shot gun had no triggers, and only half a stock.—Australian "News Letter.”
