Last week Wayne Allen, 7-year-old son~ of Mr. and Mrs,. Clair J. Allen, Centre St., lost a budgie he won at a carnival here last summer. At Wayne's insistence, the bird was advertised as lost in The Statesman. Shortly after Ithe paper was out on Thursday, O. K. Osborne, Con- Icession St. East, called with "Tinker" the budgie. H1e Ifound itin their orchard on Monday, two days aftep it escaped and captured it with a net. Three years ago, the Allen's found a budgie, advertised it in The Statesman and the owner was located. Good results from the dlassified advts., huh? t t t t SEEING THINGS? -'Peter Feddema reports that while he and several other chaps were driving in the Pontypool area recently, they spotted a huge. moose on the road.

We can't say if Lloyd was out for business or just offering helpful advice, but Ted lias been polisbing his shoes like mad ever uince. t t t t t SORRY, NO REDUCTION - Last week, In the tax arrears story, we suggested that if the laggards would pay up that $80,000 owing, council might be able to lower the tax rate 10 mils. T'ain't so. 'Twas too good tbe true. We are informed that ail arrears are carried on the books as an asset, s0 the only savlng that would accrue would be a lowering of the interest charges the town pays the bank on borrowings.
