Sydney, SUNDAY:-A spokesman for the striking clergymen said today that following the recent direction of the Arbitration Court, his union had decided to return to work but, until their claims had been met, to observe strictly all regulations laid down by a Higher Authority. The strikers are demanding double pay on Sundays and over the Christmas period. (The picture shows a group of the strikers after today’ s meeting.)

Christmas is the jo y o f giving. I t’s also the agony of receiving.

Because usually you receive something completely useless.

But sometime soon that friend who burdened you with anotherpair of cuff links this Xmas must have a birthday. Then it’s some o f his own medicine T ravellin g C lo ck s

Y ou’ ll never find a more u s e le s s pres­ ent than this one. It’ s a scratch ed p la stic box containing a / A split barrel fountain pen that you have to take to b its to re­ load. b / A propelling p e n cil (w ho ever wanted a propellin g p e n c il? ) that w rites anaem ically with shattered lea d s until you un­ screw the end and bits get lo s t in the carpet. c / A fat biro with a thin re fill which writes in v iv id ultramarine for three days and runs out and you ca n ’ t get a re fill anywhere.

Individually u s e le s s but very attract­ ive in a set.

A va ila b le in brown, lim e-green, or lem on yellow .

Party Trays

Party Trays Just ask your department store for “ crockery buyer’ s fo lly ” and th ey’ ll give you this delightful hand-painted rainbow colou red barbecue-party-TV tray.

There are compartments for holding peanuts, ch ips, b is c u its with ch e e se oh them, and o liv e s with toothp icks in them. T h ere’ s a hole for extra tooth­ p ick s, and a knife for chopping ch eese and fin gers.

B y g o lly , the d esign ers have thought o f everything, right down to the cle v e r slog a n s painted everywhere, lik e “ com e and get it” and “ down the hatch” .

But you won’ t even have to ask the salesm an for them: th ey’ ll be on the first counter you bump into at the front o f the store.

Now there’ s s erv ice for you.

Who could re sis t the charm o f little travelling c lo c k s on shop cou nters?

Your friends can o f cou rse, but it 's your shout.

T ravellin g c lo c k s are ju st so cute that you can stand there opening and shutting and over-w inding them for hours.

Buy one for a friend w h o’ s doing some travelling and hasn’ t heard o f the in­ vention o f the wrist-w atch.

Writing S e ts.

A brown leather c a s e com plete with writing pad, p e n cil, and broken zipper.

Give one to a friend who hasn’ t got one already and can be assumed not to need one.

G ive one to a friend who’ s doing som e travelling, to add extra weight and volum e to his suit­ c a se , and to save sending th ose con ­ venient air-letters.

A vailable leather: dark blue to dark brown.

A vailable p e n cils : faint to in v isib le .

THESE

MEN

MUST

Unfortunately, both our political leaders, S ir R o b e r t M e n z i e s and M r C a l w e l l , are old men and have little sympathy with or interest in ex­ panding our national thinking to a more direct involvement in Asian affairs. Neither of these old men has shown any marked interest in forging strong links of friendship between ourselves and the people of these countries.

It is too much to expect that they should.

Each of them is plainly bored with the difficult issues— of trade policy, of aid policy, of defence policy, of immigration policy— which must nec­ essarily come forward as the world of Asia and the southern seas increasingly grips our national attention. The prospect of 1965 is enlivened by the possibility that early in the year M r C a l w e l l may surrender his reins of leadership and that by the end of this year even S ir R o b e r t may retire to a well earned repose.

Hence, just as 1965 may be ffte beginning of a new era in which Asia becomes too close to ignore, so it may also be the end of an era in which two old leaders helped Us to forget the world around us.

AM I T O O O LD A T 7 0 T O BE PRIME M INISTER? N O . You can still carry the burden of Prime - Ministerial office, for the burden is light.

You may be senile, but only a few of us know and we don’t matter.

Yes, skip off to Fiji just when Sukarno has ditched the U.N. .

Some will joke about your persistent absence in a crisis (but that just makes our heart grow fonder).

Talking of jokes... don’t the press love your public meetings?

Every cliche reads like an epigram.

Anyway, Bob, hurry back. Hate you to miss an important social function (W asn't Catherine’s wedding a beauty?). Yes, if you don’t return soon; the times they might start a changing...and that would be fatal.

.RESIGNATION OF MR. MENZIES. "N othing in his life,” said Malcolm o f the dead thane o f Cawdor, “ became “ him like the leaving it.”

Nothing in the political career of Mr. Menzies has become him better than his re­ signation from the Federal Cabinet on a point of principle and consistency.

He has not, in truth, abandoned his high office “ as 'twere a carcless trifle,” since he delayed until the last pos­ sible m om ent an action which, apart from its efTects on his own political future, he knew must be deeply em ­ barrassing to the Prime Minister and the Governm ent.

But that mom ent having been reached, and a m ajority o f the Cabinet having decided to dis­ card vital features o f the National In ­ surance A ct to which the Ministry and the parties supporting it were pledged, he hesitated no longer to place his sense of duty to his constituents and the country before the advantages of office.

Mr. Menzies entered Federal politics and the Lyons Ministry with a brilliant State record and every augury for advancem ent to the h ig h ­ est political post in the Commonwealth.

If he did not fulfil all the expecta­ tions o f his admirers, and if it seemed sometimes as if success and political preferm ent had com e to him too easily, the action w hich he took yes­ terday shows that he possesses what is becom ing increasingly rare in public life— a devotion to principle and a re­ fusal to cling to office when con vic­ tions strongly and honestly held cou n ­ sel a contrary course.

For that ex ­ ample the public everywhere will h on ­ our him.

It will also discern in Mr. Menzies those qualities o f courage and determination which are the blood and bone o f true leadership.

MIRROR, MIRROR UP THE WALL ISydney Daily Mirror and Sun posters continue to fascinate us, both in their content and grammar. day la st month, for example, a “ model” (every girl the Mirror photo­ graphs is a model — there must be about 10,000 in Sydney) went to the Chevron in la ce s la c k s — for dinner at night! She was not allow ed into the diningroom.

By some ch a n ce c o in cid e n ce , the Mirror happened to have a photo­ grapher present at that very moment.

Isn’ t it disappointing that there’ s so little new s around that Mirror editor, Mr Z e ll Rabin has to con sp ire with “ m odels” to make it?

Anyhow, dear old Z e ll fe ll hook, line and sinker for th is one. After all, he must have had the poster in mind even b efore the “ in cid en t” took p la ce.

B eca u se there it was the next day, for all the world to see:

The Sydney Sun’ s photostat o f threatening note received by Miss Shepherd; 5/1/65

The M irror’ s “ photostat” o f the same Letter.

GIRL IN L A C E PANTS OUTED Hotel Scene

The M irror’ s re-tou ch artist had been busy again. Both photos are identical, except that the M irror had added a torso. reader V.G. Watson has forwardedOZtwonewspaperclippings: The first is from the"Age”, Tuesday December 15. The channel 0 movie is “Pick-up A lley” a title too bohemian for Melbourne’s eyes. So:The second cutting is from the infamous “Herald” whichhas thought­ fully changed the name o f the film to something a little more acceptable to its mid- Victorian Victorian read* nO Q O O

Frankly, we lo v e these new verbs, like to out, to in, to for, to against.

In fact, our sporting writer even wrote us a few paragraphs which we hope Z e ll w ill incorporate into the Mirror’ s style book.

Our heading, by the way, is: OU TCAST R O Y ’ S INS AND OUTS S tolle frommed Emerson in the sem i­ finals o f the men’ s sin g les after withing him in the dou bles.

Once outed, Emerson w as inned by bus to the city for an inn meeting with a sports writer who had againsted him in the morning paper.

T he writer pointed out that he had forced Emerson the day before when he had downed Hewitt.

Emerson was put out becau se he felt his reputation was being downed ju st at a time when he was expecting upped o ffers from p rofession al players inned to the US who wanted to in him for the next European tennis season withing Hoad, Sedgman and R osew a ll.

Way out, man!

The ruling, by the N f Hampshire Supreme Court yesterday cleared the way far the trial of an inva­ sion - of - privacy suit in which a couple accuse their former landlord o£ planting an eavesdropping device in their bedroom.

Carl Hamberger, an automotive agency parts manager, and his wife, Mae 29, charged that the daVlce was hidden in their room for a year.

Mrs Hamberger said the discovery of the device was such a shock that she has been under a doctor ever since.
