LINE OF SMALLS FLIES ON CHRISTMAS ISLAND

MEN IN ORDER
CHRISTMAS ISLAND.
LINE of sun-bleached smalls hanging up outside a wooden bungalow is the only feminine touch on this shimmering island of 2,000 men.
The smalls belong to two charming sisters, Billie and Mary Burgess, of Bristol, who volun- teered to operate the Christmas Island canteen services throughout the four-month-long H-bomb exorcises,
The Burgesa akters could be straight out of Somerset Maughman, so truly do they fit the traditional picture of out-port-of-Empire women.
Tall, slim ond elearly unperturbed by any emergency or creepy-crawly creature, they have spent much of their lives in places like Kenya and Christmas Island doing Invaluable publie service like this,
When W.V.S. chief Lady Reading called on them lo come to this island of "coral, crabs and coconut” one feels they packed their grips without a momentis thought.
Mary and Bille organise the playing of the mek 'n' roll records which the troops demand at such volume that they are deafened.
They organise concerts, run the tombola,
nea that the men write home and listen sym- pathetically to their domestle problems.
-But their greatest servico is always to look crisp, cool and feminine in their smart green uniforms in spite of the sweaty heat and peiting rain,
They remind the men of their wives, sweethearts, sisters, and mothers back home.
One feels that if any man, from brusshuts downwards, tried to be over-familiar with either of the Misste Burgess he would be spanked and pul to bed.
When the RAF. chief here Insisted that they must take a holiday in Honolulu there were anxious inquiries from all ranks arising from fears that they might not return.
The men's quarters
festooned with scantily clad pin-ups but the Burge bungalow is decorously hung with plotures such as the Swan Lake ballet and fasteful tropical scenes.
But I discovered one romantic touch among the few books Mary and Billie have found time to read-a novel entitled "Casanova's Home- coming."
