I do want to wish health and happiness to aIl those who FREE PRESS have Iltied the knot" recentiy. I wondered where that particular, expression came from and discovered that each civilization has its own method of signifying that a couple are joined together in matrimony. One such ceremony involves tying the wrists of the couple together. Many of our own traditions stem from ancient times. The ring, by its shape denotes eternity and the diamond as the most indestructable of stones signifies the permanence of the relationship. It is worn on the third finger of the left hand because the ancients believed that the vein in this finger led directly to the heart. 0f course, we know better today, it leads directly to the bridgegroom's bank account. Centuries ago, settiements were isolated from each other and if the supply of marriageable maidens ran low in one, a prospective groom was forced to raid a neighboring village for his bride. As this was often a danerous undertaking, he took along his most trusted friends - the groom's men. Presumably the "best man" was the one who suc- cessfully staved off the pursueing family and was stil in good enough shape to attend the nuptials. The couple, were necessarily' obliged to hide out for 30 days at which time the whole thing became s s s b Id- Price St. res-idents upset with I.G.A.'s disposai methods The residents of Price St. in Brooklin submit- ted a petition to Whitby Town Council's operations committee Monday night com- piaining about the gar- bage disposai methods JIL A $309Ooo D'ERBY to be heidon 4 Lake;cuo PortPScugOnaro ~ Commencing 6:00 a.m. Finishing 8:00 pa.

SHORT Director of Planning Corporation of the Town of Whltby legal. During this time they lived on a mixture of mead and honey; so as the moon waned signifying the end of the month when they were free to appear as man and wife, the honeymoon was born. Naturally, under these eircumnstances the bride was flot always as wiiling as the groom would have liked - hence the custom of carrying her over the threshold. It was his way of getting her under lock and key- when she showed a decided reluctance to enter under her own steam. The color white for the gown cornes from the Greeks and Romans who considered it a sign of purity in both heart and body. When the adopted christianity, they added a blue border as a tribute to the Virgin Mary. Orange blossoms have aiways been associated with weddings since the days of the Saracens. The orange tree is unique in that it bears both fruit and flowers simultaneously hence the flower denotes both happiness a nd fertility. Red roses, the colour of blood, symbolize a giving of one's ail. Many other flowers also have special meanings attached to them but whether they are used for that purpose or just to beautify the surroundings for the special day, they are an essential ingredient in today's wedding arrangements. If you would like to know more about making these symbols of nature a bounty enhance your surroundings, why flot attend the next meeting of the Brooklin Horticultural Society? On June 27 at 8 p.m. in the Brooklin United Church Hall, there will be a rose show and also a floral designers showcase. The purpose of this is to help new flower arrangers to improve their skills. Veronica Coangelo, a professional floral designer will be there to assess the efforts of the members and give a constructive critiaue. Besides roses, there will be a showing of other currently blooming flowers such as peonies and delphinium.. Early vegetables will also be on display. The decorative competition includes a bud vase arrangement entitled "My Love" suitable for display on a bridai table. "Best Wishes" is a dining table design that could be used for trousseau tea and graduation is a cor- sage. The final two items in this category are a "for men only" arrangement for men entrants to try their skil and a miniature arrangement entitied "Ilittie tiny one". 1 It should prove to be an exciting and informative ending to this season for ail who attend. employed by the local I.G.A. food store. Speaking on behalf of his neighbours, Fred Yohng of il Price St., said that the odor comning from the gar- bage is often intoierable and is aiso unsightly on many occassiofla. He said that garbage was supposed to be picked up four times a week but has only been picked up twice a week until last week when three- pick -ups were made. In a letter to councii, the residents said: "The present container smeils, during the hot weather, due to the type of garbage, such as meat containers that have been emptied of spoiled meat, spoiled fruit and vegetables, carboard boxes of other spoiled groceries."1 They said that gar- bage bags often are rip- ped allowing the refuse to spill out. "The container is generaily s0 full, that loose papers are picked up by the wind and blown ail over their property and ours," they said. "The odor and unsightly garbage is not sanitary and also depreciates the value of our property."1 Many complaint.s have been filed with both the town and the local board of health, they added, noting that this has not been able to solve the problem.
