On Our Job, Issue 16, 1 July 1945, Page 1

GREETING TRAMMIES! ONCE again we give you the low down on affairs about the job, but before proceeding with this I regret to inform you that Tom Russell has given up his job of Editor of this paper. Tom has been doing more than his share these past few months, and I feel sure his breezy commentary and articles will be missed by you chaps. Meanwhile, pending the next meeting of the Comforts Committee, this is your Secretary who wields the pen. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a few lines from “Ted the Terror.” Ted apparently prefers to remain anonymous (is it any wonder?) but agreed to give me a few rotes from his colourful career. Interviewed Aunt Tilly the other day also. At the moment she is celebrating a happy event. No! You are wrong. The happy event was the winning of the football sweep. She could not supply any copy for this issue, but said, “Call again.” Met an ex-trammie on Monday, who now resides in Taranaki, and he related the following to me: Three bulls getting up the road in great style, one of which was only a youngster. First bull sees a cow over the fence, and stops, the other two going on. After a while some fresh green grass is encountered and one bull stops to eat. This leaves the baby bull getting along up the road alone. So the baby bull keeps on going and goes on and on and •on, which just goes to show, a little bull goes a long way. Of course, yo ( u are not necessarily to infer that there is Any connection between a little bull and my remarks concerning Ted and Aunt Tilly. Oh, no! Well now, drop us a line sometime. Always pleased to hear ■from any of you. Meanwhile, my best wishes for a speedv homecoming.—R. GADD.
