As a rule where green grawth is the important thing as with grass and leafy vegetables, then a fertilizer rich in nitragen will be wanted. Where roat growth is dominant, as with po- tatoes, carrots, beets, etc., then a formula heavy in potash would suit. As a general rule a fairly evenly balanced mixture is best for the average garden.

A safe plan is ta first dissolve in water and apply, or spread thinly during or just before a shower or hosing. That is also the proper time and way ta apply this ma- terial on lawns. For hasteninIZ growth of vege- tables the experts usually mix a little quick-acting fertilizer with the soul before sowing and then later spread a little close ta, but not actually touching, the rows. For trees, shrubbery and big plants one can dig in fairly closely around the roats. Where une suspects that the soul in the garden is deficient in some o! the main chemical ele- ments, it is a good plan ta get a sample tested at the nearest ex- perimental station. Sometimes there is salie simple thing lack- ing, like potash, or one o! the rar- er elemenis. In this case a special application o! what is missing will really work wonders.

School At Kemptville Examination resuits released from the Kemptville Agriculture School on Saturday revealed that a Durham County man, Murray Lord, son o! Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Lord, Campbellcroft, tapped the class of first year students. Mur- ray is attending the School through the J. S. McLean Scholarship. Mr. McLean, donor of the scholarship, is a former Durham County resi- dent and is naw President o! Can- ada Packers. Mr. Lord is President o! the Durham County Junior'Farmers and has for many years taken a keen interest in, and led, county farm prajects. Dept. of Education To Conduct Camp Counsellor Training The Ontario Dept. of Education will conduct Camp Caunsellor Training Courses for boys at Bark Lake Camp, Irondale, Ont., during July and August this year. A recent memorandum ta Sec- ondary School principals urged that alI boys, 15 years o! age and over, who meet the academic and personal qualifications be given an opportunity ta apply for this training. Church organizations, service clubs and community centres may also sponsor boys for this course, accarding ta Gardon Wright, Director of the Physical and Health Education Branch, De- partment of Education, Toronio. "Wc 'believe that this is one of aur most worthwhile sommer pro- jects", says Mr. Wright. "Our re- cords show that there has been a rapid increase in the number of sommer camps in the last three years. Trained counsellors must be provided ta take care o! these children. Our courses also pro- vide oppartunity for gainful sum- mer employment for hundreds of senior students in aur Ontario schools and colleges". The traininLr camp is situated on Bark Lake in 1,500 acres o! natural woodland. Rock outcropp- ings, virgin forest, and second growth saplings make a natural setting for the study o! geology and conservation. The lake itself has seven sand beaches, and al the natural conditions for thor- ough training in camp life. Liv- ing facilities at the camp are mod- ern and comfortable. A staff of 15 instructors is maintained ta train 100 students in each course. I'Applicants must be 15 years o! age and fulfill reasonable aca- demic qualifications", Mr. Wright points 'out. "There is no fee for the course and travelling expenses exceeding $10.00 will be refunded by the Department of Education. Three graups can be accommodat- ed this summer, with caùirses be- ginning Joly 6, Augost 1 and Aug- ust 17. Two training courses for girls will be conducted at Belwood Lake near Fergus, Ont., beginning July 5th and August lst. "Interested students, parents or service clubs who wish ta spon- sor applicants should contact their local Secondary School principal, or apply immediately ta the Coun- sellor Trainine Courses, Physical and Health Education Branch, De- partment of Education, Toronto 2. "Our course is particularly useful for Ontario Chorches and service clubs who are sponsoring camps in variaus parts of the Province", says Mr. Wright. "Ex- pert athiletic abilitv is desirable but not essential. Physical fitness. a capacity for leadership and a real interest in some phase af camp life, are the main require- ments for a good counsellar". ÀNIE E E The. Big Blow- Ini More Ways Than One Since it isn't polite to ask Statesman readers twice in a week ta kili time, or read o! the funeral a! a dead cat, or pu!! thraugh a short article an C.P.R. freights, this reporter will have ta coak up something new. What woVîld yau say ta a short dissertation on the havac created by the mighty 'wind of a few days aga? O. K. ? Before praceeding may we ex- plain that the word dissertation means "essay". Why wasn't "es- say" used in the first place? Be- cause then you wouldn't have been temporarily stumped, and aur sadistic desire ta torture through the written word would be frustrated. Besides, it is al- ways good ta learn a new word now and then. After ahl it is the job o! the newspaper ta educate the public. And aren't- you the public? Our trouble is that we always think o! others around us as being the pub- lic, when right under aur very nases we too fali in that class. But back ta the wind! It was quite a blow ta mast women around town ta find their tiam- porary permanents even n)ore temparary than they expected. The high wind, hitting 80. m.p.h. at its healthiesÇ, swirled through curîs until they were unfurled. The flapped slap-happily in the breeze while the femmes clutched with sick stomachs at the remains o! their coiffure. No!. They didn't clutch with their stomachs. That was just a way o! putting the thought in or- der ta pravoke those who are grammatical sticklers. For those who haven't deciphered the last sentence o! the preceding para- graph, the women were sick at the stomach over the damage done their preciaus hairdos by the ram- paging wind. It was possible ta use the phrase "frampant wlnd"l in place a! "ram- paging wind". But rainipant means 11with the farepaws ex- tended and the animal at an angle o! 45 degrees". If you can im- agine the wind as an animai, and dashing through the provinceý at an angle a! 45 degrees, then use the Word "rampant" in place o! "rampaging"l in your imagination when you read this article. You .Will read it again, wan't you? The greatest damage done by the rampaging wind was its wan- ton destruction a! permanents. But there were other much less important forms o! destruction which it might be Worth while ta record. Far example, hundreds o! trÈes several decades ta sev- eral centuries old were blown flat. This is insignificant, however, since these trees do not fit in with the latest women's styles. The tree preserves the same "old look" year after year, and can't possibly Wear nylons since it has only one leg, and that is fastened ta the ground. Since very little else is a! im- portance, why not end the article at this point? O. K. You asked for it. Nurses Formed Canadian Assoc.- The Canadian Nurses' Associ- tion is the officiai channel through which Canadian nurses partici- pate nationally and internation- ally in health and welfare activi- ties. It was founded in 1908 as The Canadian National Associa- tion o! Trained Nurses, with the present name being adopted' in 1924. The Associatior! is a federation o! the prolvincial nurses associa- tions, each o! which is incorporat- ed by an Act o! Parliament. The affairs o! the national body are conducted by an Executive Com- ROY COURTICE mittee which functions as an ad- visory cauncil to the provincial associations. This cammittee car- ries on the general business o! the C.N.A. between biennial con- ventions, meets emergency situa- tions in nursing, formulates and/or approves o! a program a!i'activit- ties designed ta fulfill its objec- tives which are stated ta be: To dignify the profession o! nursing by maintaining and im- proving the ethicai and profes- sional standards a! nursing edu- cation and service. To encourage its members ta participate in affairs promoting public wel!are; To promote the best interests o! the nurses o! Canada and main- tain national unity among them; To encourage an attitute o! mu-- tuai understanding with the nur- ses o!fçýther cauntries. Since its inception, the nation- al body has cancerned itself with the problems a! its constituent members. Such vital matters as the registration o! nurses, estab- lishmient and devolopment o! dis- trict nursing ta meet the urgent needs p! CanadaMs frontiers, im- provements in conditions o! nurs- ingr and nurses' lives throughout Canada, have occupied the atten- tion o! the association. The Canadian Nurses Associa- tion is a corporate member o! the International Council a! Nurses. Officiai publication o! the C.N. A. is "The Canadian Nurse". Mechanical Egg Breaker Pirst o! its kind ta be introduc- ed into Canada, a mechanical egg breaker is being tried out by a creamiery in Western Ontario, ac- cording ta a recent report o! the Department o! Agriculture, Otta- wa. It has been faund ta reduce the actual labour cast by about one-third and increases the.am- ount o! the product obtained by a pound and a haîf per case o! eggs handled. 0opmo.aw of - <.«0 Traffic Deaths Show Improvement But Urge Greater Car. Death toîl from Ontario street and highway accidents was lower last manth than in any April since the lifting of wartime travel re- strictions. Reports ta date show a total a! 35 traffic victims for the month, against 66 in the same manth last year and against a 10- year average o! 43 for April. For the first time in 1950 there were also fewer children as well as fewer adults amang the acci- dent victims than in the same month a year before. 0f the'eight youngsters who -lost their lives, four were an foot, crossing or playing in the street; two fell aut of vehicles; one, on a-bicycle, cal- lided with a truck; one was a passenger in a car that was hit head-on by an ancoming car, in the centre of the road on a hilltop. Province-wide, crusaders for safer driving can draw some real encouragement fromn the fact that Apa r meni bouses Resf aurani s Freezers Phone Store 78 Simcoe 3224W April was the fourth aueceaslvo month ta have a lower traffle tolI than the corresponding months o! 1949. But traffic officiais point out that the really dangerous time for accidents is stili ahead- tourist enquiries, new car sales and other indications ail point to- ward a record amount of motor traffic in Ontario this summer. Motorists are urged ta, check their brakes, lights, steering, tires and wîndshield wipers as soon as pous- ible, so that on summer trips their cars will be in the safest possible condition. "Check your driving too"! they add. "The majority of accidents happen under good road and wea- ther conditions, with apparentiy safe cars, leaving only the human factor ta blame. Commonsense caution and gaad mataring mand ners can do much tô reduce the death and injury toll, on streets and highways". A new daarstep has soft rubber bahl inset.
