There are some things which we all know happen, but of which wo are not proud and which we prefer not to think much about-the pro-, ceedings in a slaughter-house for instance. At any rate, we do not get shown films of it, or we might enjoy our beefsteak less. Equally we are not proud of the existence in our midst of the killer who kills for the joy of it: but here he is presented to us is a series of scenes of butchery which are not "Hollywood" but real. The thing is a carnival of bloodshed, render ed more nauseating by the fact that the animals are invariably either unsuspecting or attempting to евепре.

Financial Drive.

Our financial drive gave much better results than in previous years, thanks to the scheme put forward by Mrs. Leseby, and the able supervision of our Treasurer, Mr. Black. It is my intention to suggest that a small Sub-Commit- tee be appointed to inquire how we could better invest our money, and who might also consider, how we might increase our funds in order that we might employ at least one more Inspector.
