Goulbourn Museum looking for scarecrow clothes
What the Goulbourn Museum is seeking are some long sleeve shirts, especially in plaid, and some pants (adult sizes). In addition, the Museum is looking for a variety of fun hats to top off the scarecrows. If you have any of these items hanging around your home and not really being worn, then you should consider allowing them to be used as scarecrow clothing at the Museum's family craft day.

Bank concerned over debt firm's handling of client cash
In a statement issued to this newspaper last night, the Central Bank said: \"The Central Bank has reason to be concerned about Cornerstone in relation to its operations and its handling of customers' monies. The chief executive of Cornerstone, Ray Bolger, denied last night there was any issue over the handling of customers' money. \"If customers find that payments made to Cornerstone have not been passed on to creditors and their account is not up to date, they should consider contacting An Garda Siochana,\" the Central Bank said.

Babes in Toyland (1961) *** RTE2,12.40pm Ray Bolger is probably best known for playing the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, but he's also the 'big' name in this vivacious Disney offering. It follows a villain from Toyland who plots to get his hands on a woman's inheritance -- little realising her resourceful fiance will do anything to get her back. The Nutty Professor (1963) *** Channel 4,1.05pm Not the hugely irritating Eddie Murphy-fest, thanks goodness.

Scramble in store for the perfect nest egg New laws will tempt investors into the property market, but at what risk? Andrew Cave reports
Of course, there may be a problem with bricks-and-mortar pensions, too. While thousands of amateur landlords have done well out of buy-to-let, there are fears that the rental market is being flooded with such properties just as Britain's housing boom is coming to an end. If interest rates rise and rents weaken so that any income doesn't cover the mortgage, that's a problem. But it becomes an even greater dilemma if you are relying on buy-to-let to provide your pension. Steve Bee, head of pension strategy at Scottish Life, says: ``There is nothing wrong with buy-to-let as a pension. I think it is a very good idea, depending on your pension assets. And next year, putting residential property into a Sipp is something I think people will find quite attractive. All the income will come in tax-free, and there will be no capital gains tax when people sell up.'' Ray Bolger, of independent mortgage consultants Charcol, explains: ``If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you will get 40 per cent tax relief when you put the property into your pension plan. That means a pounds 200,000 property can effectively be bought for pounds 120,000 using funds in your pension. Then the rental income is tax-free on top. A few years ago, the tax regime encouraged people to invest their pension funds in equities. Now, it is encouraging investing in property.''

Age lines
THERE IS an old story, familiar to most newspaper writers, dealing with a reporter who had been sent to cover the national speedboat racing championship and to obtain an interview with the man then regarded as the king of speedboat racing -- Gar Wood. I grew up with him -- from his rubber-legged scarecrow in \"The Wizard of Oz\" to his mind-numbing one-man show for a Bay Area fundraiser many years later -- and as I watched that Tonight Show performance, maybe there was, somewhere inside me, the feeling that if [Ray Bolger] was still going strong at 73, there was hope for me and my tired body. IT ALSO struck me that anyone not familiar with Bolger who saw him gyrating all over the stage that night would never have guessed he was 73 years old, and this got me thinking that perhaps we're not as good at guessing celebrities' ages as we might think we are -- even though we've grown up with them and feel that we have a pretty good time-yardstick for our estimates.
