No Nonsense
CCT TMP'NY! Slope Urn! Dis— miss!" U S.M. "Bill" White, one of the
most popular members of the Defence Force m Dunedin, undoes — m direct defiance of rule 1198 c, para. 4, "Instructions In Re. Dress On Parade" — the top button of his immaculate tunic, dexterously rolls and lights a cigarette' — then thinks lovingly of a good cup of tea. White is an officer who stands no nonsense. •He can detect a microscopic error of dress, yea, even a rusty spur-rowel, and the careless young soldier hears all about it. Yet, for years, there hasn't been a territorial who has kicked against White's authority. "Bill" has a way wid him. He is, as indeed most real soldiers are, a kindly, big-hearted man. Red tape has not tied his hands and he never forgets that a private's uniform covers a fellow- creature.
