Touring Cricketers

The Australian cricket- team to tour Canada and, the, United States will pass through Auckland next week on board the Niagara., which is due on Monday and which will, sail on Tuesday. The team hap been organised by Arthur Mailoy and includes such well-known players as Don Braman and Alan Kippax. Bradman will be accompanied by his wife whom he recently married. i An Observant Child The oft-repeated statement that the children of to-day are les observant than were those of former generations cannot always, be. sustained (sjtates the Auckland Star), For instance, the old’ er folk attendang a local suburban church were greatly struck by; the close attention paid to their minister by the young members of the congregation, and the loss of interest when a visiting minister took his place. Eventually it leaked out that the young folk had noticed that their minister had a habit of moving from side to side of the pulpit during his sermon, and that each Sunday he ‘ ( did this exactly the same number of times. By keeping count, those in the know could forecast the end of the sermon, and their close attention was more in the count than in the sermon.
