Dear Sir,
IF Mr Mothballs (Feb, 23 Sun'Taimes, page 8. col 4),
thinks that the Hon gentleman (Norman Ccough). Well I'm
here to tell him (Mr Mothballs) that he has bitten off more
than he can chew. How dearie imply that Mr Ccough is
socially inpurdent? Was it not Ccough whom started off the
worled wide organiseationses, which in turn brought imidiate
response from the Western Alliance (T. U. R.). If Mr Smith-
barbs sincerely imagines that Indonegro is really going to
attack the Australian continent with the eyes of the worled
upon them I can only asulme that he (Mr Smallburns) has
taken leaf of his sentries! Has he forgetting Mr Ccough's
graet speek at the Asembly of Natives? Is he also forbett-
ing that hithertoe unpressydessy charter - the Blested Old
Widows - which was carried through the House with a Majollity
vote?
In future I hobe thet Mr Smellbarth will refrian
frog makeing wild and dangeroo statemonths.
I remain still,
yours for the arsking,
Jennifarse Cough (no relations).
P.S. CAN I HEVE A PHOTY OF WINDY STANDSTILL ?

Well maa'mm, the old Coblers think you're a very plucky
christion. Wish there were a few more like yourself maa'mm!!!

I BELIEVE, BOOT...
Aman came up to me the other day and said - 'Tell me
vicar - tell me the deafinition of sin?' - and you know, I
couIdn't answer him! Which makes me think - do you ever
wonder (and what do we mean by the word wonder?) what
an ordinary man (and what - I ask myself do we mean by
an ordinary man?) who works in office or factory - goes
to church ont Sunday (what exactly do we mean by
Sunday?) who is also a sinner (we are all sinners).
People are always coming up to me and asking - 'Why, if
Griff is so good anb almighty - why does he bring such
misery into the worId?' - and I can truthfully say St.Alf - ch
8 verse 5 - page 9. 'Griff walks in such mysterious ways
His woodwork to perform' (what do we mean by perform?)
Which leads me neatly, I feel, to our next guest for tonight-
A man whom is stickle trodding the pathway to our beloveb
Griff - slowly but slowly I am here to help with the bridges he
must surely cross.- 'Welcome to our studios tonight Mr
Wabooba (a foreigner)'
Mr W. 'Hellow you Rev boy.'
Rev. Well! Mr Wobooba - may I call you Wog? What is
the basic problem you are facing? (He smiles)
Mr W. 'You! white trash christian boy.' (He also smiles)
Rev. Hmn! can you hallucinate? (He colours)
Mr W. 'I can.' (Colouring too)
Rev. Well? (He smiles)
Mr W. 'Wot ah want to know man - is why almighty Griff con-
tinooally insists on straiking ma fellow blackpool inde
fayse?'
Rev. A man travelling on a train - like you or I - to
Scotland, had two or two bad eggs in his pocket -
and you know - no one would sit by him.
Mr W. 'But ah dont see dat yo' christship. Ah mean, ah don't
see de relevence.'
Rev. 'Well, Wabooba - let me put it this way. In Griff's
eye, we are all a bunch of bananas - swaying in the
breeze - waiting as it were, Wabooba - to be peeled
by His great and understanding love - some of them
fall on stonycroft - and some fall on the waistcoat.
Mr W. 'Well yo' worship, ah says dat if de Griff don't laike de
peoples in de world starfing an' all dat c'n you tell me
why dat de Pope have all dem rich robesan' jewelry an
big house to live - when ma people could fit too tousand
or mo' in dat Vatican Hall - and also de Arch bitter of
Canterbubble - him too!'
Rev. Ai don't think that the Arch bishoff would like to live
in the Vatican with that many people Mr Wabooba
- besides he's C. of E.
Mr W. 'Ah don't mean dat you white trash christmas imperial-
ist !'
Rev. No one has ever called ME an imperialist before,
Mr Wabooba. (He smiles)
Mr W. 'Well ah have.' (Smiling too)
Rev. You certainly have Mr Wabooba. (He turns
other chin and leans forward slowly looking at Mr
Wabooba rather hard. Mr Wabooba leans forward rather
more quickly and they both kiss.)
Mr W. 'Ah forgive you in de name of Fatty Waller de great
savious of ma people.' (He smiles)
Rev. Ai too am capable of compassion dear Wabooba -
and in the name of the Father, Sock and Micky
Most, I forgive you sweet brother.
(With that they clasp each other,in a brotherly way as if
forgetting they are still on camera.)
Rev. Have you ever been to Brighton dear Watooba?
Mr W. 'Ah jes' got back sweet christian friend non de worse
for wearing.' (They get up glassy eyed and linking arms
slowly walk out of the studio to the very left proving
that arbitration is one answer to de prodlem.)
