We â- were iparticularly interestiedSast night in listening to the music of a tplendid frog band. It was mar- vellous. We do not suppose the frogs laiew th-y had an audience, but if it was just a rehearsal 'hose frogs are sure making themselves heard after a longi dormant season. We ,par- ticularly admired a stron ' basso who just knew when to sound those deep guttural notes. The tenors and so- pranos were not numerous, with jurt enough altos to make for good hairo- ony. If you appreciate nature, you can get a real kick out of a quiet hour near the location of a good frog pond. â€" Ci";emore Star. Class of '47 â€" "Do you know who was the first electrician?"

Money Was Found in Straw Mow At Dunedin William Janiieson had the unique experience of finding $32 in his straw mow during the winter months The money had been lost by Garfield Thurston during threshing operations last autumn but supposedly lost in Wm. Bulmer's barn. Shortly before Christmas Wm. Jamieson found a $2 bill when putt- ing down straw. Being aware of Thurston's loss he was constantly on the alert for more money. Gradually one by one the bills turned up, also the wallet that had contained them. Besides the bills Jamieson found his registration card and several other papers, all of which had come throug^h the machine unharmed except the purse, which was badly riddled and coimpletelv empty. The money and papers were scattered all through the mow and wtre found during a period oi ovt r three montha, It was a surprised and grateful 'Garry' when 'Bill' preseuted him with his 'find,' so grateful tlAt he handed out a five dollar reward. Jamieson had fiund everything that had been in the purse except aibout thirty cents in change. â€" Creemore Star. CLEAN Cronkcase and Valves . . . IMPROVE Performance . . .
