» WELL, fellas, I just about beat you to Nev; Zealand last • week. This is how is happened * I had it figured out that you chaps wont get' home before Christmas now that you have so much work to do:, on the road between herb and Bourail, so I thought I’d take a chance to see N.Z. while the goin’ was good before the end of the year>*l hopped on Jihe truck with Bred Krona st and* the rest of the toys when they we jit down to BHD* But I missed out on the wharf; instead of bein’ able to sneak up the gangway behind Gordon Berry, I , was pushed and dhoved among a heao of kit bags, The way them ’ fellas made up the gangway made’ me think they don’t trust the Army too far. They made one mighty rush and I heard one chaps say 1 \ « I never thought we’d get so far without the Army changin’ its mind, TALKIN’ of changin’ one’s mind, I reckon Peter Wingfield ’ll change his mind when he hears that all grade two men are stayin’ on the island to build up good relations after the grade one men go home. I heard him sayin’ that when he was reb<ja*rdeed next w.--ek he wus going to peddle the MO a line of bullshit that would be a sure grade 2

story* ::: SPOSE some of you chaps, seen Bill Charleton s haircuts,'Nov/ I dhn f t want to do Old Bill any harm, but, I guess his style of haircuttin is what some blokes would call realistic: He just leaves the sc afc aP *- in patches. First he offers you a bottle of beer and the next f thing is you’ve no hair left, Be s gettin ready to open a shop - • for them Taranaki farmers he’s always talkin about. SAY, I hear there is a free beer issue this week, and a big dinner cornin’ off in a few eeks - looks like we’ll be here for a long time

yet* Wish 1 -had caught ship to Noo Zealand, I,’m goin* there some day, no kiddin’ - an’ I’m gonna .. tell ’em all about you chaps.

A CHANCE THAT WILL

NOT COM 3 COM 3 AGAIN*

” BE honest with me , dear,

that was the plea she —made to you. before you sailed into the South Seas, She asked you because she promised to keep it for you# She put her faith in you; yes, you carry her trust with you every hour; that is a sacred gift you' must guard* Only an utter cad would let her down . ;:; : YOU must not fail hr - you dare not. And you need not - no sir, not while your Canteen has a bottle of Passionate Sapper aftershave lotion on the shelf you can

.keep your promise - all for thirty cents. ::: THIS lotion is dedicated to our fighting men on all fronts; wherever the flag unfurls for victory you ill find this lotion ready to play its. part in preserving that fresh, youthful asd glossy skin ' she loved to caress. The war might

rob you of the race meeting, the good old bar in Willis St and Queen ®t,, the poker game and the surreptitious visit to 'the pakapco den, but Passionate Sapper after- sh.avc lotion will preserve that Sex Appeal she loves so well • And remember, this

lotion is convertible into Jungle Juice by the simple method of straining through en eld seek or any piece of rag you have about the tent, it i s sure fire. :::: IF you ah an A2R take a bottle home for the farm where you can ms© it as high explosive when stumping, :::; WHEN you

go home do not forget Grandma. The de r old soul. will be thrilled with one of our strung dressy money belts. She can carry her plug tobacco in the pouches. You Canteen Committee, .after lengthy deliberation offers one dozen slightly used pipe cleaners with the first two money belts sold. There are a host of pleasing presents on the shelves just waiting for you. Buch things as shoe polishers, fish hocks, soap, and cheap pipes -do not miss this opportunity,* ( Inserted on behalf of Canteen Committee)
