ORDERLY ROOM ECHOES
Sundry hammerings in the sacred precepts of the Camp Orderly Room recently disturbed, the cloister-like atmosphere of that hallowed place. Investigations'revealed the cause. The records clerk was busy materialising a brand new idea for efficiency and time-saving in his intricate department.'Without a doubt’the old saying "Necessity is the Mother of Invention” is amply proved here. In this department inventions flow thick and fast® Neat filing/, systems jostle with special cupboardsand mysterious and cryptic lists wonderful to behold. Close by in the deep shadows where no sun penetrates the ancient typewriter leaps into action on its protesting carriage on the daily routine of R/0’ s, memos and other little things As plentiful as'the flowers in summer. , . The Orderly Room Sergeant, with a fatherly eye into a mountainous heap of papers, pouncing like a hawk on some desired missive which he grabs with a loud cry of triumph* He adds up figures with relish. Marty can toll you anything from Borm N.Z.100000/00000/0000 to the last horse at Rio carton.
