EAST-ENDERS SING
AUSTRALIA’S APPLES ARRIVE CHILDREN HAVE FIRST PICK By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright Reed. 9.40 a.m. LONDON, Friday. The first shipment of Australian apples was received at Ferndale publicly by the High Commissioner, Sir Joseph Cook, the Press, members of the Empire Marketing Board and experts. Sir Joseph Cook, in addressing the assembly, which included 40 East End school children, said the more England bought, the more emigrants Australia could absorb. The children took the hint and filled their pockets as the cases were opened, and some slit their pocket lin ings to get more in. When they had their fill they lustily sang a parody of the comic song, “There Ain’t Gonna be no Core.” After further addresses, there was another surprise when the children sang a version of the Frothblowers’ Anthem, “The More We Trade Together the Wealthier We Will be.” This parody is credited to Mr. L. S. Amery. Later, at the children’s request, Sir Joseph Cook beam wirelessed their thanks to Mr. Bruce. —A. and N.Z.
