COINCIDENCE.

Troops were being taken by train over the Blue Mountains to a camp out west. Train passed through all the mountain towns including Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth Falls. “Isn’t this the ‘ way those explorers, Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth came over the Blue Mountains?” “ Bluey ” asked some of his mates on the train. • y “ This is the exact route they followed,” he was informed. . ’ “ Blime, isn’t it a coincidence that those blokes should have picked the route running . past towns bearing the same names as themselves,” “ Bluey ” commented. ** . * “There’s an unexploded bomb buried here,” said the A.R.P. chief as. he posted a warden, “probably weighing a ton. Just keep an eye on things,' and blow your whistle if anything happens.” “ 0.K.,” replied the warden, “ but do I blow it going up or coming down?” * $ * / Sergeant-Major (to recruit): Smith, either you get yer ’air cut for next parade or go an’ draw a violin from the stores. **■ • * We congratulate Mr. Fraser on his fortunate escape from injury in his motor accident. It’s not everyone who gets off so lightly from a . good blow-out.
