AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL
Gorillas make ideal oarsmen, according to Rex Grayson, who in the December issue of The Australian Journal writes an amusing yarn about a lost traveller in Equatorial Africa who kept away boredom by 1 training a crew of anthropoid apes 1 into the world’s finest racing eight, j However, as usual with such schemes, j there was a catch, and the giant j monkeys took more handling than ! their trainer anticipated. Other highlights of the December j
Journal are a long, complete novel- | ette by Captain Ingram Morgan, and supporting short stories of the usual high standard. Approved directions for knitting Balaclavas and bedsocks for the troops are included in the household section of the magazine, which also contains informative cooking and needlework pages, and a splendid children's department.
