Big John gave a tug at his halo to make sure it was correctly adjusted and while he made cer- tain his wings were in good working order ko could hear Mr Wong strumming gently on his harp in the adjoining room.

The big fellow was getting impatient. It was Sun- day morning and he felt that unless his friend 'cut short his music practice they were both

going to miss the 'Football Special.'

I haven't heard you exercising your Jungs for refered- baking in years and it must be ages stres I Hatened to your - old battle cry 'Sell your whistle and buy a pair of spectacles' ......You are really going to seed, old boy."

The harangue would probably have gone on and on but it was brought to an abrupt stop by a reprimand on the hieratie Intercom.

Mr Wong had, of course, heard the whole thing and in order to prevent any more trouble he dashed to Big John's room ixing a red, white and blue rosette onto his robe as he ran, John was waiting at the door and his face was hardly in koep- ing with his heavenly surroundings, in fact there was just a trace of the old fre which Mr Wong used to know so well In the years gone by......but then that was a long long white

I've probably been "booked' once more and I shall have to work very hard to get my exemplaTY conduct certificate back again" said the big fellow who at that moment caught sight of the rosette on Air Wong's chest. "Glory be" he said, "what in the name of goodness is that...... Have you taken leave of your senses. What would. He think if He saw you going out with that on your cheist."! Mr Wong looked a little gulity and sart anxious glances left and riekt as he and Big John made their way along the Celestial

The first part of the trip took them along the Celestial Flyover as

Here a downward folating signpost sald simply "To Earth”. while two' ngbyidiary indicators pointed 'Earl' and "Wext" respectively. The Charlot sped along the East' channel to- wards Hongkong and Me Wong nudged John as they pomed another sign.

At that moment a two wheeled machine roared up behind them and a voice with a very distinct burrelled out "Lane changing is strictly forbidden during each hours. I'm afraid I shall never educate some of you folkm,”

Familiar Voice

John and Me Wone whirled round in their seats. This was kis

deed a familiar voice from the past.

"For a mement I cödiď fileve Sworn I was back là Queen's Road" sald John and as he and his colleague caught sight of the ruddy complexion of the firúre atop the machine they looked at each other aghast.

“I can't be, Not after all these years” cried Big John. At that moment Wong nudged him again. “Look” he said pointing w dramatic finger to the left of the road. A large alguspost bore the words "Morrison's Happy Highway (12 Lanes)"!!! Big John twisted bi his seat to get another look at the machine behind them but he was too late. With a trail, of spanit shooting stars and the breers blowing the white robes in a great cascade behind him the driver was off on his pilgrimago of putting people on the Right.road and keeping them thero. As the Chariot neared Rotigkong the two old friends coulik ses

Big John laughed contentedly as they took up their position near the players entrance. Time had.made some changes but a lot was still the same, There was a purist group from
