The northern territory police magazine $4 c tat

From Alice Springs:

" A slim little fifty-page, blue and grey magazine arrived in the mail a week or so ago, adorned with the emblem of the N.T. Police Force, and featuring a magnificent study of Constable W. J. Jacobs, •mounted, on its cover.

It is ' Citation ' — the magazine' of the Northern Territory Police Force, and one of^-the best five-bob's worth' ever to hit Alice Springs' book-shelves.

Edited by well known Jim Mannion, G.M., now Inspector at Force Headquarters in Darwin, this newcomer looks like being a winner in the field of Territory literature, and we don't think the Editorial Staff need have any qualms or doubts of its success.

' Our first thoughts on this first issue of the first Northern Territory Police Force Magazine arc mixed indeed ', Jim Mannion says in his initial editorial. There is a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction in launching the thing at all . . . but a deep, dark fear also that it may not be up to scratch and therefore might have been better left unborn '. Citation ' deserves an enthusiastic welcome. There's something for everyone in this bright little magazine, but to eulogise further would only detract from the enjoyment of a very worthwhile publication ".
