Fourth quilt show By JOYCE COX St. Mark's U.C.W. St. Mark's United Church Women will present their fourtb an- nual quilt show Thur- sday, Marcb 15, from 2 to 9 p.m. Admission is $2. Refreshments wiil be provided. St., Mark's Church is at the corner 0f Centre and Coîborne Streets in Whitby. Slxty quilts, none previously displayed at St. Mark's,. will be exhibited in the Churcb Hall. In the cburch parlour, a multitude of quilted crafts wil be featured. Across the hall, in the nursery, one or two of the St. Mark's Quilters will be on hand to answer questions. Visitors wil be en- couraged to- try their hand at quilting on a colourful child's qufit. Examples of dresden plate quilts froni four decades wil be seen. One crazy quilt on display was made in eastern Ontario i 1875, wbereas another was made iToronto i198. Qufits often are made as gifts te honor special occasions. The blocks on Jenni.fer Glovers alphabet quilt were painted by the family and friends attending ber first birthday party. Babe Brown, an, en- thusiastic quilter and ardent hockey fan made a Dunnies souvenir quilt to mark the 25th an- hiversary of the Witby Dunlops in 1983. She also made quilts featuring the Town of Whitby crest for each of Mayor Bob Attersley's' two children. Munnie Malcolm of Oshawa, who is over 90 years old, continues to make new, beautiful quilts each year. Look for this year's examples at the show. In 1933, Chatelaîne magazine featured a Fruitbasket qufit. Each month, the pattern for a different quilt block ap- te put i a few quilting stitches during the sumuner, and receive the completed quilt shortly before she died i November. The beautiful fruitbasket quilt ia No.- 1 at the show. Whfie in India in 1982, Dr. Ken Hobbs was given a coverlet made by the Tatoo tribe. It's interesting to see the simiiarities between the quilt wbicb is'No. 55 and our Canadian quilts. Four quilta wil be for sale at the reasonable priées, Bet we en You and Me By RUTH COLES Would it flot be better for everyone to realize that there are differences ln heredity and envfronment which have to be recognized? William Ross. One thing we won't write about today is the snow. Some of us love it, other don't. The grass and plants are well protected now from the elements, freezing rain and such. Now we are looking forward to warm days, green grass and buibs pushing tbrough the soit. This bas happened ini some gardens within the last few weeks but no doubt the growth will be retarded now for a short while. What i the world is lovelier than a well kept lawn? A perfect setting for a building, especially a bouse. Lawns and property surrounding a house enhance the value of the bouse and that of the neighbours. Nothing pulls the value down more than WI kept lawns and this often applies to the surroun- ding areas. 1Ever since 1 bave been grown up, I bave planted bushes and trees. After a time as they flourish and grow one feels as old as time as the growth is often very rapid. As you growup, trees seem to diminish in size as you too expand and grow tail. When you have memories of growing things in the past you often think of massive trees, very high fences and such but now they are reduced to their proper size as you look at and flot always up. Toronto is called the city of trees, thousands of them on residential strèets and in the ravines. From the air parts of the city look like a forest and there is much wild life, sometimes more than you see in the country. Too many trees can be a great detriment wben trying to maintain a -home. Sun is prevented from drying and warming the building whicb can cause dampness and mildew to tbrive. On the other hand homes without trees on the property are a sad sight to see. To hit a happy medium a good deal of planning and tbought bas to go into plantlng. Kdney mo nth Mayor Bob Attersley bas proclaimed Marcb "Kidney Monthl' in the Town of Whitby. In bis proclamation, Attersley said: "Citizens of Whitby are reminded that the Kid- ney Foundation of Canada raises funds to enable the continued figbt against kidney disease and to provide for research, patient services, blood pressure clinies and a national camp for cbildren on dialysis.." WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7,1984, PAGE 9 So0mething 1 enjoy at night las to look out at trees agalnst the dark sky and better still when the moon is full. At every phase of the moon the picture is dif- ferent, the beautiful branches stretching hlgh to the sky, bare of leaves exposed to the winter elements. Ontario is a province of trees of many varleties, large and small. Something which causes us to pon- der and rub our eyes is a large tract of land adver- tised as _rolling hills, trees and wild flowers in- cluding many daisies wblle familles walk tbrougb this idyllic setting. Bumper to bumper now with bouses we drive by and stare trying to see some trees. Rather an unsèttling experience until one remembers that advertising takes ail forms. Tbis is the time of year for many people to enjoy seed catalogues. Even for those in apartments and nursing homes thereý is great pleasure in pursuing these wonderful books with such a great variety of colours and shapes. Planning and thinking can almiost be as satisfying as doing and mucb less bard labour. Our growing season where we live is shorter in the spring so we don't plant seeds. Furtber more we are mostly in sbade because of the number of trees. We plant the odd bit of lettuce and a few toniato plants in the flower garden bidden from sight bopefully because we do not have a kitchen garden. One of my stepdaugbters grows lettuce in ber flower garden and it is witbout doubt always one of the most colourful beautiful tbings one could ever hope to see in a garden but sadly witb a ratber short growing time. Her garden is so lovely without'a weed to be seen so I tease ber and say somieday I'1l see a weed somewhere and last summer I did; two blades of grass growing out of the garden soil!1 Years ago, I had a bad experience witb seeds whicb I hope no one else will ever have. I planted probably tbousands of delphiniumi seeds in flats, large flats full of good soil and ail sitting up on tables and such tbings. Wbere I thought I'd plant thern nobody knows but I bad great and bigh hopes. Tbey did weil, ail sprouting and looking sturdy and strong. Each day tbey seemed to grow an inch or so and promised to be outstanding in time. One night a very heavy ramn fail, gallons of the stuff feil; the result every seed washed out and ail that was left, soggy and wet soil. Despair set in 50 we had to remember the joy our planning gave us and a promise not to try this again. ?FORMS REGISTER, CONTINUOUS, -CARBONIZED &.MUSC.
