TWINS MEET AFTER 30 YEARS
BRISBANE. Identical twins, separated in a South Australian orphanage at the age of eight, met for the first time in 30 years, wearing the same type of opennecked shirt, smoking the same brand of tobacco, both 5ft 6in in height and with only one pound difference in weight. They had almost forgotten each other's existence when they met. They are Lin and Lee Mills. Lin, who is married with two children, lives in Breakfast Creek, Brisbane, and is a wharf labourer. Lee, who is two hours older than Lin, was diseharged from the R.A.A.F. in November and has been awaiting a suitable job since.Their meeting was arranged by a friend of Lin's who had met Lee on the street and mistaken him for Lin. Comparing tastes after 30 years, separation, they have found that both intensely dislike marmalade, are fond of horses, drink moderately and smoke heavily. Neither has had a serious, sidkness. They have both lost the same teeth and have the same front teeth filled.
