| SANDY’S CORNER We have to thank "Uncle Fred” for to-day's motto: “Come in a limousine and go away on a stretcher!” RUNNING SHOES We had the wind up when we read it last night: “Wanted to sell; pair running shoes” thought Bob Semple had arrived. WAITING /.OR THE END! Wanganui is waiting for two finales (we haven't got. time to chock up and see whether there i s a plural of ‘"finale"). One is the finale of Hitler and his gang (we know, from personal experience, that there is a good bit stored up for that) and for the finale of the queen earn:\al. There i.s a good bit in hand for that. too. Wouldn't it be a wizzer to be able to walk out on the stage at the Opera House next Wednesday and say: "I have much pleasure in announcing that the Navy (or Army), (or Air Force) (or Nursing Services) queen has won the Wanganui patriotic carnival and, before I lorget and it. completely slips my memory, the war in the west ended at 9 o’clock to-night (Wanganui time).” We’d even brave the footlights oursehe; to tell a tale like that. ANOTIH.II WAR IN SIGHT’ It looks as if we'll have another war on our hands and that before Hit. throw’s in the towel. Last night the ultimatum was delivered. or the gauntlet thrown down, or something ,I'ke that. At a meeting to arrange for Wanganui s eflort in the Victory Loan. Aramoho intimated that they’d make their effort solo. "They even suggested a boundary lor a separate district,” said Postmaster Dow ney on behalf of the committee. "It. looks like war,” said Chairman Rennie, "but isn't it in a good cause?" Our humble opinion is that before any war i.s started, we don't care het her Aram >ho is right or not, vou had belter cable the P.M. and get it pul belore the World Conference at San Fran< isco. Ii v ould be a shocking thing if Aramoho. of all places, bred another 11 filer! For Pete's sake, be careful! ,
