Prize-Winning Gardener at 86 4te~1u4 fl When Newcastle. Horticultural Society held its annual flower and vegetable show last week, there wasn't much doubt who would win the top honors. She had done it regularly for some time. It was Mrs. J. Hillier, left, 86-year-old, who again walked away with the big pnize. Just before taking this photo, we learned that she spends hours every day cultivating her large garden, only coming into the house for mneals. What's more, she plans cantinuing her hobby for ma.ny years and it will take some expert opposition to oust her from the prizeléist. However, she did have some strong opposition fnomn Donna Ought- red wvho tied her in the flower section, but Mns. Hillier's vegetables put her over the top for the Wellington Foster tnophy and the Matchett Cup, being presented hýere by President Jack Wade.

He had sent out for change late Saturday and quite a bit of it was stili intact in rolis in the drawers.

Clowns Bert Snowden, Bill Laird and "Slip" Rowe took turns poised on the scoop of a tractor right above a tank full of water. The customers trying ta "Dunk. the Clown" attempted ta toss a basketball through a hoop. If they put two out of three throws through, the tractor operator flipped the scoop, slidi ng the clown inta the pond with a great splash. Unfortunately, the booth ran out of bail point pens, the pnize for one basket, Sa from then on every time any body threw the basketball through the hoop "flop" went a clown in the pool. By the end of the evening, they were very droopy, very wet, and chilled ta the bone. But, the crowd loved it. Oz=i Williams, the origintor, was am art. lie sold ticket& out front. -r 1
