'WORK FOR YOUR LIVES'
BUT WHO? AND WHEN? , Mr F. W. Doidge/M.IV told an amusing story 'to an audience at Devonport. An American passing through Auckland as a port of call; wandered through the city. His attention was caught by a flaming poster on a hoarding. "Work For Your Lives" it said. "That's fine,", remarked the American to a passer-by. . "But where are your workers? Is to-day perhaps a day of mourning in your city-?". "No," answered the Aucklander. "But it's Saturday," ; "The war goes on on Saturdays,' said the American. "I know," explained the Aucklander. "But that message is really meant for the farmers. They only work BO hours a.week the Government thinks they should work 80."
