THE HOME DEFENCE COLUMN.

Always remember, Diggers, that a bullet can become a boomerang. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The writing is on the wall: Scrawled on a prominent wall,at the Winter Show Buildings is “Officers’ Baggage.” Nobody seems to know just what it means. Stuck on the wall of the C.M.D. Clink is a clipping from a popular pictorial magazine. It reads: “You asked for it!” And How! ***** The Black Cloud is a little too fond of his White Lady. * ♦ * * What do the Great do. in their spare time? Major D y, they say, puts in a quiet evening playing totalisators on the wall of his office. * * * * Ever heard the one about St. George and the Red Tiger, Tony? * * * * Heard at Buckle Street: “Ah, here comes the local Dustman. Oh, no—sorry, it’s the Cook.” ***** Christmas is coming! “So what!” says the Soldier. ***** The General’s theme song: “Indian Summer.” Very popular just now. ***** rj In my opinion, one-half of the population of this country should be gagged, one-quarter deafened, and the other quarter put away. Then, and only then, might we . stop rumourmongering. * * * * And “One of the Boys” is as bad as the next—person, I suppose. I’ll choose being gagged with a bottle—or two. * * * * By the way, Digs, what about sending in some local colour for this column—it’s yours, you know!
