RADIO FLASHES FROM ARMY SIGS.

First and foremost we must apologise for using Christian names in this Column. We feel sure that you will forgive this familarity and understand i that we have certain regulations to abide by and particularly that of giving information to the enemy. We should hate to awake one fine morning and to find that the Chumpanese have collared all of our N.C.O.’s * * * * - Once again promotions have been coming out thick and fast. The lucky ones this time are as follows: Frank M. Arthur 0., and Jack B.—L/Cpls.; Les S. and Charlie M.—A/Sgts.; Bob C, Sid E, Neil P and Cyril G.— Temp. Sgts. The very best fellows. * * * • Sgt. U.E. has returned from furlough plus a few days sick leave. We understand an attack of the ’flu spoilt U.E.’s little trip.

Sgt. Ken’s seven days was well spent by a motor tour of some 500 miles. Where do you get the liquor from for such a long trip, Ken? * * * ♦ Brownie the D.R. is also back from seven days ? Ask Brownie what he calls it. * * ♦ ♦ Who was the hungry Sgm. who placed a dish of pudding on the floor out of sight of others and fed himself from same?

They say (what do they say?) that 2/Lt. Mack’s section has been nicknamed the . Why? ***** Among those present; at a local dance recently, doing the light fantastic, was the O.C. We believe he thoroughly enjoyed the outing. * * * * The Li—E— PHUNT Hut Canteen now opened appears to be doing good biz. Cpl. Bill was tellng us that he hopes to have a much larger and better z selection of stock to hand shortly. * ; * * * They tell us that one of the D.R.’s has been practising broadsiding in the Gorge, much to the amusement of the ashphalt. *** j * Although Jorgie recently became engaged he is still as big a shiek as ever. Is he? * * * * ONSLOW v. MIRAMAR In a senior Rugby match last Saturday, Miramar beat Onslow 11— 9. For Onslow, Girardin scored two tries and Rosenberg kicked a penalty goal. Miramar scored three tries, one of which was converted. The game, although not fast, was rugged and Onslow did exceptionally well considering that its training has suffered through no fault of its own. The players for Onslow were Gaylard, Blandsford, Wolland, Fox, Girardin, Rosenberg, Macan, Priest, Dunn, Simpson, Jones, Weedon, Jose and Clayton.

One of the most outstanding features of the game was the wonderful knowledge .of a back’s duties carried out by Girardin both in attack and defense and had he and Rosenberg, with Macan’s assistance been given more of the ball the score would have been, somewhat altered. O’Donohue and McKnight were good for Miramar, especially McKnight, who gave his backs every assistance from the base of the scrum. * * * *

Evidently the use of salt in place of sugar in liquids is catching. The latest addict to this new-fangled idea is -Sgt. U.E. 5-C J-C Camp’s requisition for Bread Cutting Machine — bread knives. ***** WOODEN SOLDIERS Scene One: Squad marching along road. Act One: S.M. “Salute. To the front— SALUTE!” Scene Two: Rear half squad obey command; balance including at least one corporal keep on marching. Act v Two: S.M.' Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr • -k -k 'k (Methinka Cpl. Ben’s hilarity was noticed by the S.M. and we are wondering if he also had a job to suppress his laughter. Perhaps S.M. Edward has logged this one in his book of reminiscences.) * * * ♦ The Riding Buckaroos — Six Gun D.R.’s.

, The Camp’s Spitfire — Bruce the Jamsome. * * * * COMING SHORTLY—When Rosie misses the Dance Parade, “HELLZAPOPPIN.” * * * ♦ You will be pleased to hear that since the last issue of this paper a Social Committee has been formed under the capable leadership of two popular Second Lieutenants, one from “C” Section and the other from the “W” Section. Cpl. Rosie, our Yid Comedian, with Corporal Eddie of the Go-ana fame and a relative of Useless Eustace are also included. * * ♦ • With the large amount of talent available we should see some MAGNIFICENT, COLLOSSAL and STOOPENDOUS shows. Here’s hopin’ anyhow. *** r ♦ ♦ Be seein’ yer! End of text. / —T.H.I. 0-0-0-0 H-E-L-L
