SANDY'S CORNER

CATS! People have novel ways of distinguishing pets. We have heard of a family who have two cats —one is called ‘This,” the other “That.” When “This’ goes out, “That comes in and when they are both in together it is really “This’ ’and That.” ALL’S WELL!—OR IS IT? On this 50th. Christmas Day Of this 20th. Century, We are wondering what to say: Whether what’s past was meant to be. Whether we will like the morrow And the shape of the coming years, Hopeful that they’re shorn of sorrow. Laughter - filled, A p joy surmounting j Cost living's ’ risen to the ■ moon, J But pay will overtake it soon; y Although on that H we would not H AZ II bet, W Iw II A wee bit hesi- 17 [ tant just yet. | Our railway types are out on strike, Mum’s gone back to her dear old bike, Pedestrians move at narking pace, The town s got little parking space. But why worry of woes of today? Let’s make old Christmas Gay! Wipe that frown from face, crease those smiles, Toast these, the TotaHsator Isles! Britain, la'nd of knight, drawbridge . and moat, Founded these, the islands of th« Tote, Where mankind’s Mecca is the course, His idols, the jockey and the horse. To hell with Stalin and his crew, All the Rod Kremlin whore they grew. How can they bring THIS land trouble— Land of racehorse and the double To hell with Communistic styles, In these, the Totalisator Isles! Sid Holla'.id can do what he likes. And bo beset with a thousand strikes, And ma.'.itain a constant giving ’Gainst lhe rising costs But the truest thing wcwßer wrote, Told New Zealand’s glory of the tote! So please bannish all your fretting, Keep a'n eye on Christmas betting! Find us some pipes and a drummer; Let's make this Christmas a hummer!
