I returned to Edinburgh sev
eral days before my actual de
parture to Northern Ireland
While here, I attended the Mill
tary Tattoo held at the Edin
burgh Castle The Tattoo is
presented by searchlight with
the Castle ramparts at the back
ground Massed Pipe and Drums,
massed bands, a display by the
Malay Regiment and a Salute to
Canada were on the programme
The members of the bands in
cluded men from the Scottish,
Canadian. Malayan, and English
Regiments Scottish danceis weie
also included The pipe and drum
bands and dancers wore the
traditional kilts of their regi
ments’ tartan, which was quite
colorful The whole evening was
most enjoyable and quite a pait
of Scottish culture
The Military Tattoo was a
most appropriate way to con
clude my stay in Bonnie Scot
land. 1 said my sad goodbyes
and on August 26, flew to Ulster

IT’S called the “Land Handler” because
it’s built for horizon to horizon fanning.
Walks right off with an 8-bottom plow,
a 28-foot chisel, a pair of squadron
hitched disc harrows and other big, wide
implements.
The Two-Twenty is 135 horsepower*
strong . . . and turbocharged for extra
go. Chances are it will pull your field
equipment faster than your present trac
tor can ~, and make it look easy.
Tins great new tractor is sure-footed,
even in the toughest going The exclusive
Traction Booster system automatically
matches ground grip to draft load . . .
turns horsepower into pull-power—not
wheelspm.
You’ll find the Two-Twenty easy to
handle, the right power and size for big
row-crop fanning. Power steering is stand
ard equipment . . . and you can turn
the tractor around in less than 11 feet.
Stop in and look over the “Land-
Handler'’-the giant Allis-Chalmers Two*
Twenty. See the big new reason Going
