SANDY’S CORNER

BING, SID AND BOB’ “I'm sure heading for New Zealand by the first available means,” sa?d the man in New York. Asked why, he said it was quite simple. “Here,” he said, “we’ve got Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, but New Zealand’s got Sid Holland and Great Hope!” THE SO( lABILITY OF IT. Mr. Frank Gilligan did not take too kindly to the way in which people in Britain have accepted their queues. He found them, he said, as though they were making queues a more or less social occasion. We can bet that that is right, too. and that much of the scandal of Old England finds fertile ground in her queues. But what troubles us is whether that sort of queue snFrit of England is going to pervade the Empire. We can’t escape a leeling that the generation rising in our midst, and the generations yet unborn for that matter, are in a world that spoon feeds too many people, and they line up to be spoon fed. We may be wrong, but it looks that way. Maybe, we in the National Isles wil! change all that and bring new nonqueue spirit back to the Empire. We hone so.
