United Transfer Move
_0/index.png "Library")
Dundee United are to put the Stenhouse transfer fee to good use. Manager Ally Gallacher is to open negotiations with a 1st division club for a certain player. The fellow is cultured and experience and would be just the man to blend the young players together. Naturally United are not naming him as they do not want opposition.

A Good Try
"Know Your Dundee" was the subject of the geography lesson. Teachers first question - "What is the large building behind the City Square?"
After getting an answer she asked "Why is it called the Caird Hall?"
Back came the answer quick as a flash "because you need a caird to get in!"
Told by Rev. Philip H. Lee.
