If you want it exchang- ed you have to take it to a bank where you pay a premium. Some time ago an'Irish . visitor was touring Scotland. He went into a shop to make some .purchases, and handed over a Bank. of Ireland ONE POUND note in'payment. But this was refused. "Only Bank of.England or Bank of Scotland notes accepted here." Whereupon he produced a Bank of England FIVE POUND note,.and was given change of four Bank of Scotland ONE POUND notes. Seeing his chance of getting one over on the Scots he said, "I want English money." "I belong to Glasgow, . Dear. old Glasgow town, There's something . the matter with Glasgow For it's going round and round „ But now just to prove that there's nothing the matter with Glasgow that a coat of paint can't put right, BILL BUCHANAN of the Scottish Arts Council has come up with a bright idea. He plans to have bare gable walls in the city covered with king-size murals. Not, I'm told, of the girlie type, underdeveloped 'and overex- posed, but pastoral scenes. And one gable wall will even sport — or `sprout' — a giant thistle. It is hoped to enlist the help of local residents, building firms and businesses in providing the materials. It's even suggested that space be left on one gable wall for aerosol artists and their Glaswegian grafitti — like — better leave that to your imagination. NURSES IN BRITAIN generally seem dissatisfied with their wages. And that goes for Scotland like the rest. Now a Scottish official of the National Union of Public . Employees warns that Scottish nurses are being tempt- ed by the high wages offered in New South Wales. There they expect to earn twice or three times what they receive in the Old Country ... Seems that the Scottish nurses would be taking a "step up" salary wise by agreeing to work "down under". WORLD CUP BLUES Scotland was the only British home countries' side to qualify for the last soccer World Cup series held in Munich earlier this year. They played against Zaire, Brazil (former World' Cup hold- ers) and Yugoslavia. And though they didn't lose a match they failed to qualify for the second round. Their success, and failure brought high. hopes . and sad hearts to Scottish football fans. But now that the receipts from gate money and TV have been counted, it appears that the Scottish Football Association stands to gain nearly a quarter million pounds sterling. The players, too, have earned a sizable bonus for reaching the finals ... Somebody once said, "It matters not if you won or lost but how you played the game." Naive, isn't it, in today's world where it matters most how much you get paid for playing. MONEY MATTERS Scotland and Ireland have their own currency. True, it's the same size, shape and value as its "But Scottish notes are legal tender here," he was told. "Not in my country," he countered and waited till he got his change in the .only universal currency in the British Isles. Quare folk these Celts. HOT POTATO The price of everything's going. u these days. But when.I read recently that one shuugle Goldi ;. Vander potato had chaffed hhnds at FIVE POUNDS sterling (say around $11) I thought.that's ridiculous. But as I . read on I found that there was an even more ridiculous reason for the exorbitant price of the potato. Here's the reason:.

The clerk called the cashier. And the cashier the manager. The manager . called Head Office. And: the reply came back "Cash it." Now Robin Black is five pounds richer. And' the manager comments, "We had to cash it before it sprouted into a teener." Hot ,potato indeed. Robin Black and his brother Sam from Cookstown; North Ireland, were havin,g a celebration drink in a Cookstewn bar in honor of the birth of Sam's second son. Also in the bar was Cookstown con- tractor Gerry Hughes. The chat came round to writing cheques. Somebody said it was perfectly legal to write a cheque on literally, anything. Bets were laid. And .publican Jack Conway produced a Golden Wonder potato. On this Gerry wrote, "PAY ROBIN BLACK FIVE POUNDS." Then he signed it and gave it to Robin ... When Robin presented the "spud" cheque to the bank clerk in Cookstown's Ulster Bank he wondered if it BOB HAWLEY, of Ontario Hydro's property appraisal di- vision, conducted a meeting between Hydro officials and farmers from Turnberry and Morris Twp.
