BENEFITS OF GOLF
MR. BRUCE'S TESTIMONY CANBERRA, Oct. 21. "Some people are under the delusion that you have to have brains to lie a Prime Minister," said Mr. Bruce at a farewell function tendered him at the Canberra Golf Club—"but only one qualification is necessary, an amazing amount of physical strength. The only way to maintain that is to play golf. I could not have remained Prime Minister for nearly seven years and retired fooling as lit as when I started, but for the fact that I played golf the whole time. "Look at the Prime Minister's who are going 1 to succeed me. If they play golf you can rest assured lihey will last for a reasonable period. If they do not they-will not last very long."
