We do, but flot because we have any money tied up in it. We find that the high cost of living ties ours up quite securely, and though we recently read the explanation and origin of a "bull" and a "bear" market, we are stili very hazy on the subi ect. But we read the financial page, at least we scan it, for amusement. Yes. amusement. We have found described there the most extraordinary gymnas- tics of what we had always look- ed on as quite inanimate objects. For instance, eggs. We always tbought you eîther gathered them from the nest and put them in a basket, or bought them in a car- ton, and the only action they ever exhibited was when they sizzled in the frying pan or got scrambled. But no. We read: "Eggs Dip." A precarious thing for eggs to do, being so break- able. And then again, "Egg trade confused." Did you ever see a confused egg? We picture doz- ens and dozens of themn, all con- fusd, not knowing which way to turn. sunny-side up or flipped over. Once a few montbs ago a head- ing said: "Hogs Slide," and we pictured hundreds of pink pork- ers sliding down bill and squeal- ing like mad, aIl four feet braced in an attempt to stop their flight. And just before Christmas we found a dandy, "GloomTn Geese." Ah me. A gloomy goose must be a sad sight, not to mention a whole flock in despair. Perbaps they were disillusioned because they had just learned their own- ers had not lavished ahl that goodi food on them out of love, but to fatten them for the platter. Cause enough for gloom. On Saturday we read, "Potatoes have enjoyed a busy week." Well, who hasn't. but we didn't know it had spread as far as potatoes being caught up in the mad whirl. If you watch your financial pages you will see more of these interesting comments. Tb.re's plenty of gloom among bumans these days as well as among geese, so wby not see the funny side? CAN THEY READ? In a cohumn on the book page of a Toronto newspaper, the book editor told hast week of being invited to assist in revising sup- plementary reading ists for high schoohs. He declined to assist be- cause ho dîd not think it worth- whihe. Why? Because ho be- lieves that the large majority of them can't read. Oh yes, they can recognize the words, ho says, but ho doubts that they can do much in the way of interpreting or ap- preeiating the words. This is a serious statement, but one in which there is possibly a good deal of truth. The compiling of supplemen- tary reading lists, be says, is bas- cd on the assumption that stud- onts of bigh scbool age can read, and c1o read on their own.

The financial standing of the band was discussed and on nio- tion the treasurer was autborized to pay off the debt existing froni the purchase of the new uni- forms. To enable this payment a 25 cent collection was taken t amongst those present. On the request of Ross Allen, president Carlos Tamblyn acted as chairman and Carman Cornish as secretary for the election of of- ficers. Ivison Tamblyn was elect- ed president with Glenn Allen vice-president. Horace Best was declared secretary-treasurer and M. J. Tamblyn, bandmaster. It was decided to publish the financial statement of the Orono Band, giving the public an in- sight into this part of the organ- ization. Practice hours for the winter months were set, 8:30 to 10:00 p.m. A tentative band con- cert was also discussed for some time in the future. To a casual observer it would seem as long as there is a Tamb- lyn in the district there will al- ways be an Orono Band, for wg can't recall the band being wtih. out a member of this musical fami ily in the past haîf century.
