MONTY WAS "NIT"
GENERAL'S CHILDHOOD "RAIJ3ENG" WALNUTS ¥ I met a nam named Joe, who showed me some walnut trees that he and the gang used to raid when they were boys, around the turn of the century. This nit-keeper, Montgomery, has got to be a General up the Mediterranean way, they say. Joe says Montgomery never took part in the actual sorties, confining himself to his observation post,, but when pressed, Joe admits that Montgomery received a handout of walnuts as prize money. An eminent visiting jurist concurs in my opinion that Monty was equally culpable under the civil code,, but I have not had an opportunity of consulting the Ecclesiastical Court on the matter. —Clive Turnbull, writing from Hobart to the Melbourne Herald.
