Snake Shares Cover A Christchurch soldier in a letter written after the fighting in Greece tells how a position was given away by some of the men firing their rifles at a German reconnaissance machine. After that, with two brief gaps, they were bombed for six hours. “Shortly after I hit the dust," he says, talking of his feelings when taking cover, “ I found a 2ft snake alongside me. I tossed up—snake or ‘ Jerry ’ —and the snake won at a gallop. He shared my couch with me until the party was over."

Feeling the cold at night? Well there are a great number of people in the Waikato who are not—You ask why? Simply because they have purchased blankets and down quilts from Hooker and Kingstons. There is nothing so good as a pair of warm, woolly blankets and a well made down quilt to provide warmth on these cold nights. Snuggle down in your bed beneath coverings from H. and K’s. and you can laugh at Old Man Winter. Nor will you need a hot water bottle which keeps your feet warm while your body freezes. Call tomorrow and select your needs. Hooker and Kingstons for better value always.**
