SANDY'S CORNER

WANGANUI HONOURED Wanganui, pretty, prosperous and progressive, has been honoured by that body the Royal Society of St. George, which is sponsoring the “Miss New Zealand'' quest to help Britain's depleted food supply. All the North Island entrantts are to come to Wan ganui to be judged. We cannot think of a better setting. Here is a city with all the hallmarks of the pioneers about it. Gert Gonvill e is delighted at. the idea. Joan St. John's, Jill Durie Hill. Win Wanganui East, and all the other girls are the same. Anne Aramoho is taking the thing calmly, as Anne invariably does. 'We are arranging for the winner to wear the national flovVer nf Aranioho on her clothes when abroad.” said Anne. “Gonville will do likewise." said Gert, with a sniff, “and there is no need to 101 l me which the British people will prefer, the lupin of Gonville or the gorse of your outfit.” “The golden gorse literally smells of Old England," s aid Anne with dignity. “1 wouldn’t rush in too soon with your common-looking lupins if I were you.” Jill: For the love of St. George, don’t let us have another argument. I don't care if she wears seaweed, 90 long as she come s from Wanganui. Carrie of the Cliff: And that might be arranged, too. An ankle length skirt of Cast 1 ecl iff seaweed would knock them from Piccadilly to the Midlands.
