They've blamed everything for the fallof in the
tourist business in Marvellous Minnesota from the
fact that out-ofstate fishing licenses too high to
the premise that the grows tall it obliterates
the view. Let me refute this last challenge But who
ever thot of blaming pride and joy the lanes of
travel; in short Minnesota highways? Not you
you. But listen to this tale of from gullible
traveller who believed the Marvellous Minnesota ad-
vertising campaign Addressed to the Community

Mr.. Harper Sank Centres Community Club and 9TH
along the northern end of II up hyar have prac-

Day Dreaming-Here the Catholic bells hail the
time of day thrice. It's strange how accustomed
becomes to their chanting informing of the days hour
Now many rise, eat, halt the day with the Chin
ing of those bells. The Angeus tolng is loveliest.
Then four bells, pitched to harmony, chant out the
closing of the week, point the opening of the Lords
Day. In Holy Week, when the bells stilled,
strange silence seems to pervade. Add laughter
as a peculiarly human expression. It's varying de-
grees odd conflict. The forced strain of those
