Catching The Bus
ATCHING the bus that brings our village workers in to town in the morning is something in the nature of a parade. At the junetion of the village lane with the main road is a small waiting shed. This actually is our point of assembly, Whilst we don’t actually "call the roll" we individually check up to see if our party is complete. Should anyone ~- of our party be absent, we "come all over a flutter." One of us will run up to the bend of the toad and see if the missing one is anywhere to be seen, and if so wave vigorously to the belated one to hurry up. On the other hand if a stranger appears on the scene then consternation is to be seen on all our faces and curious and inquisitive, looks are interchanged between the old tamiliars--(" Fellow Travellers," Major F. H. Lampen, 2YA, July 31.) ee SN ae
