SANDY’S CORNER
JAPS CHANGE OF FAITH Now that Hirohito has acknowledged to the world that he is no “son of heaven,” we can regard the Japanese plums in the orchards of our fanning friends in a more Christian light than perhaps (we emphasise “perhaps") we were apt to do after bombs fell on Pearl Harbour. Palmerston North, too, can take comfort f-om lhe Emperor’s change of heart. What could reasonably have been called Palmerston s “Esplanade of Cherry Devils” can now, with equal right, be termed a “Glade of Christian Cherry Blossom." We have dim recollections of Great War I, when what they used to call “German” sausage tasted much better when they labelled it “Belgium.” So you can experience the same thing now—you can eat Christian plunis and cherriesi instead of devil fruit. V LOST TREASURE! Calling those Aramoho holidaymakers: If we come up and dive for the five gallons of beer you have lying o’i the river bottom, and locate the barrel, will you shout for us?
