End of Civilisation It happened in one of our local hairdressing .saloons and is a genuine one 1 . Two gentlemen were discussing the man-els of air travel, and reciting the amazing facts that in the post-war world it avill be possible lo spend week-ends in Australia and. to be in England in a few days. They were thoroughly enjoying this dive into a -dazzling future when they we re arrested by a third waiting party who chimed, in —"Yes • and it will be the end of civilisation. when that day comes." Their enthusiasm somewhat dampened the two visionaries, asked a surprised "Why." "Well," rejoined the. pessimist, "when they start selling all those second-hand Avar machines it'll be the end ol' the Maori race."
