FORESHORE RIGHTS

MILL OWNER'S CONTENTION AS TO HIS RIGHTS

Was

An interesting appeal brought before the Chief Justice (Sir William Murison) in the Supreme Court, Singapore, when a Chinese saw mill owner appealed against the decision of the Master: Attendant (Captain G. H. Frey- berg) in the Marine Court convict ing him of causing an obstruction to navigation..

Mr. T. C. Spencer-Wilkinson ap peared for the appellant, and the D.P.P. (Mr. N. H. P. Whitley) was for the Crown, E

Opening, Mr. Wilkinson said the evidence was that the defendant had a saw mill on a river at Tan- Jong Rhu He owned a pier which jutted out into the river. Beyond the head of the pier were nine rafts, containing 645 logs. The corporal who gave evidence for the prosecution, said these logs were in the fairway, which was used for navigation

His Lordship: What about the foreshore? The Crown' cannot lease the foreshore as Crown land? Mr. Spencer-Wilkinson: I shall submit they have done in this case.

"ERNIE AND BILLY"

AMERICAN PLAY HOUSE ENTERTAINERS

"Hello, Ernie." "Hello, Billy."

Years of practice in pleasant informality are the secrets of the auccess Billy Jones and Ernie Hare, shown above in the order named, that irrepressible pair of microphone twins, have had in en- tertaining radio listeners.

Unlike many radio artists, Ernie and Billy no one has ever thought of calling them Mr. Hare and Mr. Jones-never feel ill at ease be cause of the lack of a visible au- dience. In fact, so used have they become to performing before the mike that even that "dead" ap- paratus has the stimulating effect that stage performers are ac- customed to associate with ап audience across the footlights.

Of course, there is

more to it than that. The truth lies in the fact that when Ernie and Billy are entertaining the public they are being their own natural selves. Both men are slightly stocky, with round faces almost always smiling. Ernie's grin is a little broader than Billy's, but Billy has it on Ernie in weight

A simple incident resulted in the association of these veteran radio and recording singers. Ernie began life in Norfolk, Va., and his first business venture was selling baking powder. Billy is a native of New York City and began his career in the Custom House.

For the | benefit of those listeners who aren't aware of what I'm trying to put over, I'll explain. Believe it or not, I am now speaking from a para- chute in which I have just jumped from a plane, and I thought you might like to know how it feels to be broadcasting in mid-air from a parachute. This is the first time this feat has been attempted, and I am-very proud to be the first man to accomplish it!" And so on.

This is the way it was done.
