Kathy wes the only girl in the competition Photo by John B. McClelland New addition to be ready next August Construction of the new $588,000 addition to the R.H. Public School has been going on for nearly three weeks. A tentative completion date of 34 weeks has been given by the Claremont Construction Co. Thus, the construction should be complete for the opening of school in September, 1972. According to County School Board Trustee, Gord Goode, the new addition is "almost as big as the existing building". There will be a complete library resource centre, a double gymnasium, and classroom space for Arts and Science, Home. Economics, and In- dustrial Arts subjects. Mr. Goode also said that the completed schoo! will ac- commodate nearly 1,000 students, and all the Grades 7 and 8 students from the area will be bused to the school to make full use of the new facilities. Bank assets now $50 bill. So, you go into the bank each week to cash your pay- cheque and if you're lucky you put a few dollars into a savings account. Do you ever wonder what you're few dollars are a part of? A letter from the Canadian Banker's Association says that this year, Canadian banks passed the $50 billion mark in assets. That's right, $50 billion And that's about 2,500 for every man, woman and child in this country in the banks alone. What do they do with it all? \"The Lure And Lilt \of the Homeland" By the Hoppy Wanderer Refreshed by a round the clock vigil with sleep we "opened our eyes on that first morning in Glasgow to-- brilliant sunshine Our charming hostess knocked gently on the door and Daisy aided no doubt by her humorous husband served us breakfast on silver trays while we were still midway between slumberland and the land of the free Morning rolls and Irish bacon, crisp toast and real Highland eggs made us feel as if we had failed to ob- serve the red carpet the evening before. It's great to revel in this kind of luxury and know that there is no 'bill' hidden under the tray. The husband Daisy cap- tivated a good many years ago, John by name, is quick as a wink with his answers and his wit, and loves to be twitted about his Irish ancestry. No wonder he sells shirts by the score for his way of smiling is guaranteed to make any resistance crumble Glasgow has undergone a massive face-lift during the last seven years and many familiar landmarks have come under the hammer. On sites that were once 'slumlang' gigantic high rise apartments now stand and whilé they seem strangely out of place are a thousand times better than the wrecks that were there § before they came on the scene. Sophisticated bridges span the river Clyde and most of the ferry boats that used to chug their way labouriously from east to west of the river, are now highly offended, as they, it seems ) were not entitled to 'disability pensions'. One imagined } they could hear them groaning with indignation at their misfortune but this is the price of progress. New mathematics are found in Glasgow as you juggle with the NEW PENCE. Gone are the heavy 'pennies' of former years and now a brand new world has been born. While my wife was having her feet fitted for shoes to tramp across the heather, my hair was ' being trimmed Glasgow style. It looks in afterthought as if my wife was more concerned about her 'soles' than I was about my head, but for a parson's wife to be in the 'soul' business is not out of place. And did she ever find a gracious and charming sales lady, whose knowledge of that part of the anatomy made me feel she could even fit an elephant with high heeled boots. Oh! but about the 'New Pence'. After my head was lighter and the barber gave me my check, in return for the fifty new pence I gave him, he gave me three coins back and did I fee! this was a real bargain, until it was pointed out that he had taken the equivelant of ten shillings arid his service cost me almost half of the coin he first received. And all the while my wife was grappling with instructions about 'feet care' and how if you run your insoles over a bottle a hundred times a day, you will have 'happy feet' even at bed- time. For best results the bottle must be empty, or that was how my interpretation was added. What Glasgow lacks as a 'holiday resort' jt makes up for in the 'off the cuff' humour you can hear at most streets corners, that is if you can translate the 'Doric' into intelligent English. In that we have an advantage over strangers to the city. On our way down what we called "Sentimental Journey' visiting once familiar places and friends we came across some interesting interludes, At a busy intersection the mother was in- structing Junior on the mathematics of getting safely to the other side and this is how the lesson was given "No, laddie ye dinna cross when the wee red man is on or as sure as Guns ye'll be deed but when the wee green man comes on you can gang, and ye'll be safe, so ye will." Pedestrian crossings are different in Glasgow from Toronto and the addition of the RED MAN as Warning and the GREEN MAN as SAFETY is a real eye catcher and works wonders with the small child- ren. This is worthy of imitation in Canada. When the writer left for Canada almost nineteen years ago the new gadgets in this country fascinated the entire family but the strides that have been made in that direction in Britain are simply breathtaking Glasgow has banned all fires that emit smoke and a fine is imposed if the rule is broken. This should make the November fogs less lung racking than in former years The University dating back to 1451 is the second oldest in Scotland, is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture and can be seen for miles around from it's vantage point. Now the second University -- Strath- cylde instituted in 1964 is a 'live' centre for Science and Technology and is in the very centre of the city A comprehensive collection of 19th and 20th century French paintings is displayed in the Art Gallery im- mediately in front of the University. Parts of the famous Burrell Collections are presented at intervals and of course the outstanding work of Dali's Christ of St. John of the Cress which blew up a storm of con- troversy by it's unique portrayal of the Master, but is now a tremendous influence for good So if you visit Glasgow you will find as we did that for outgoing friendliness and hospitality, it is tremendous
