elicit fair within easy driving distance well there was a show last satur day that partner and i would like to have gone to but we just couldnt as we had visitors that afternoon however we did have ofle good treat over the weekend by putting in an appearance at the military massed hand concert at the exhibi tion grandstand sunday night wo all went dee and art bob and joy yes and even dave bob drove us down and brought us back home this is the eighth consecutive year the massed hand concert has been held partner and i have always wanted to go but other yearn it did not seem worth the effort because there were always so many chores to do before we could gel away this year it is very different what is there about service bunds thai makes such a strong appeal to the imagination how could anyone listen to the skirl of the bagpipes watch the rhythmic swing of the kilts of the scottish regiments and remain unmoved other bunds too bugle trumpet and massed brass bands all had a special appeal without a doubt military music is the best recruiting agenf that ever existed one selection played last night by e trumpet hands was unto the hills it was beautiful i would have been quite happy had they played it over and ovir again and then just before the last post the massed military and brass bands played abide with me while a while cross mounted at the back of the platform was

as the massed pipe band marched to the front of the grand stand partner exclaimed look isnt that flnlay out front sure enough it was one of our neighbor boys from over on the next conces sion who belongs to the lome scots regiment we knew him by his bearing and since he was one of the drum majors he was easy enough to spot especially as i be lieve he is over six feet in height well it was a most enjoyable evening even for dave for at least half of the programme he was all eyes and cars listening entranced to the music and when everyone else dipped he clapped too eventually the sandman was allpowerful and dave stretched out full length across his mothers and daddys knees and went to sleep as peace fully as if he were at home in his cot but when we got to deespiacc he was wide awake
