Éditer Looks Like A Good Show We were able to get a partial sneak preview of the Orono Showcase Ço-operative on Monday in their redecorated quarters in the former Armouries building and it certainly looks like a good show and one that should create considerable interest. Enthusiasm is certainly high for the group of twenty and everyone is pitching in with setting up, cleaning windows and using paint brushes. The items for sale are being tastefully displayed using such items as antique furniture, which also are for sale, as the media for display. The Orono Showcase Co-operative is an interesting interesting venture in co-operation and one which will allow the talents of the community to be exhibited and sold. It also provides the interested public with a real showcase of items and it is the intention of the cooperative cooperative that quality will be a feature of all items placed placed for sale through the co-operative. May we extend the,best of luck to the group and suggest that readers set aside some time this weekend to visit the outlet open Fridays 4 to 10p.m.; Saturdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays 12 noon to 4 p.m. These hours hold for every week-end.

And, best of all the preachers Are the men who live their creeds: For to see good put in action Is what everybody needs. I soon can learn to do it, If you let me see it done 1 can see your hands in action But your tongue too fast may run. And the lectures you deliver May be very fine and true, But I'd rather get my lesson By observing what you do: For I may misunderstand you And the high advjce you give: But there's no misunderstanding misunderstanding How you act and how you live.
