countries. 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."

. 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

HOT POTATO

recently that one shuugle Goldi ;.
Vander potato had chaffed

(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.

Somebody said it was perfectly
