SANDY’S CORNER

HOME GUARD. The Home Guard will get a medal yet. We hope that when it comes about it will be the “Marram Star.” THE BY-ELECTION Six people seek to take responsibility for city cares, Six people seek to fill three comfortable, cushy, city chairs. We people must make a choice —between a Jack, a Delves, and an Earle _ And the trio opposing them, a Price, a Bond and a Searle. When the poll is known some people will be sad, others will gloat, But watch the finger of scorn point to the man who did not VOTE! “Sandy.” Wanganui, July 20, 1946. uniting town and country We were out in the country the other day and we came upon a man in a lonely trapper’s hut. He was lighting a lire in a small stove, and there was some sort of meat in a flying pan. The wood was wet- it smoked. The hut was full of smoke. We sympathised with him and said something about the power one day coming along. All he would have to do then would be to turn a switch. “No good at ail. Go back to Wanganui. It’s nut much better there than here.” We smiled, with an air of lordly disdain. We got home in the gathering dusk. It was wintry! Mum: You'll have to wait some time while I fry the sausages; there’s been neither gas nor power. We fell anything but lordly, and our spirits sank to about the le\el of wet wood.
