SANDY’S CORNER

WOODY bread: When one of the many residents at "Poverty Flat," now a "posh suburb of Wan'gantxi,” woke up to get his wife breakfast in bed yesterday (a common practice in all "posh” suburbs). he found on cutting the bread fox- toast that a piece of wood had become lodged in the loaf, for all the world like a lucky button, or thimble, or some such trinket as is placed in a Christmas cake. Fax- from feeling lucky when the knife struck this piece of hardwood, measuring three inches by one by half an inch, the "Poverty Flat” gentleman felt that the baker had the wood on him- If we hart been on the job we might have buttered the toast, wood and all. and then we could have said that while the baker had the wood on us, we had the wood on Mum! WE DECLARE THE TRIP “BLACK.” The Minister in Charge of the Land and income Tax Department (Mr. Nordmeyer) announces that two chappies from the New Zealand Taxation Department arc being sent to Australia to discuss taxation —double taxation, mind you! Seeing that Mr. Nash is out of the country, on behalf of the National Federation of Taxpayers, we call upon all watersiders, seamen, airmen, train crews, taxidrivers. waitresses, barmen, tram drivers and ticket collectors, bakers, butchers, grocers, typists, all ot whom are linked to the Taxpayers’ Federation of Workers by thev annual contributions to the State by way of taxes, to declare their trip "black!” No Australian can teach us anything about taxation, and it is up to us to do something about it, and r-a.v "You xan't go without consulting us, the workers!"
