Dr. James Wright, who has been dubbed the ‘Comic Medico’, hosts “The Mike Walsh Show” from noon. N.S.W. T.A.B. agencies opened their doors at 2.15 p.m. At three o’clock, “Mannix” sets out to find his friend’s daughter, who has been kidnapped from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
At a small greengrocery a bloke (and it wasn’t me!) spilled his money in amongst the beans and lost five cents. Then I mistook the grapes as being priced at forty-five cents per kilogramme and, therefore, ordered a “kilo” of them, only to be asked for one dollar and twenty-three cents: for the grapes, plus three bananas. Because I had insufficient money with me, the lady poured the grapes out and gave me half a kilogramme of them. I was then asked for eighty-eight cents, however, I had done my maths and she returned my ten cents.

We are disappointed that Cliff Richard’s concert, which was to be held tonight, has had to be postponed until next Tuesday, at 6.30 p.m., when he is to perform twice in the one evening. At present he is stranded in Auckland because of the strike at Sydney Airport.
