CONTAINER GARDENING Container gardening is hecorning increasingly popular. It is a culture that bas been handed down to us through the centuries fromn earlier times, as early as the Romans or Egyptian times. It is a versatile and adaptable culture, you can use a 4" pot to the large containers that can be bought at any garden centre or gif t stores, plus the available assortment of various hanging baskets both for indoor or outdoors. If you are bandy with tools, there are a great variety of containers that you can build yourself either from dlay, wire or make your own from rot resistant wood such as cedar or redwood. Just make sure that you have proper drainage on the bottom of the pot by placing a couple of small siats under the container, and raise the container about 1/2 inch up Irmthe ground. The type of ~plant that can be grown in a container is limitless, witb proper conditions- you can grow any plant in any contain- er, from the pîne tree to the tomato or any vegetable. It is almost impossible for con- tainer gardening to become monotonous, plants can be kept on the move fromn shade to full sun from indoors to outdoors to give themn the climate they require. You can display them as single speci- men or use them in mass display for a bright splash of color, when you have a party or are entertaining. With the increase in apart- ment buildings, balcony con- tainers plantings are becom- ing a Way of hf e. A general rule for souls in containers is to make sure that the soul is made up of a porous planting mix, by making a 1-1-1 mix, 1 part soul, 1 part sand and 1 part peatmoss, and in contain- ers that xiii be in ful sun, use 1 part peat and one part sou., there are variations to tbese mixes with different plants, and the most important thing is that the water can drain freely through the soul and then will leach the excessive nutrient from the sol, giving Today 's Woman by Beverley Martin Moisture and Recondiioning Moisturizing is very definitely an integral part of the reconditioning process. The last couple of weeks we have talked about roteins relationship in keéconditioning hair. Not only is it essential to repair structural damage of the hair fibre with protein but it is imperative to replace the moisture that has escaped through the damaged cuticle. Hair in the natural, unaltered state holds moisture by the interaction of the water molecules with the different types of ptein. For a given type o hair at a given relative humidity there exists a "balance" of water to protein which determines the mechanical properties and cosmetic appearance of hair. The intact article (outer layer of hair shaft) helps act as a barrier to the entrance of more water and ta water molecules migrating f rom the protein structure. ,How does hair become dry and brittie and exhibit a 10w per cent of elongation (difficuit ta stretch; breaks with a small amount of pulling)? Many things can cause this undesirable condition such as chemical straightening, perm- anent waving, hair coloring or prolonged use of aikaline products that disrupt the hair's protein structure and raise the cuticle. These procedures change the ratio of water to protein making it too low or too high. If too much moisture is present, excessive stretching will occur. This, of course, can be as undesirable as the too dry condition. Any alteration ta the barrier or the internai conformation of the protein will alter, the rates at which the'water molecules enter and leave the hair and the the plant only wbat it needs. Al containers should be fed regularly probably every 2 weeks, and use a well balanc- ed fertilizer such as 20-20-20, which can be bougbt in any, size and' is used in every commerical greenhouse operation. Containers in full sun can be planted with geraniums mixed with petunias and place a Dracena (spiky thing) in tbe centre for accent, and use hanging or trailing ivy's for the edge of the conta iner, also trailing lobilia can be used for this purpose, to give them a splasb of deep blue color. Ivy geraniums will also do well la the sun, and come in great variety of colors. For sbady areas, use Impatiens or tuberous begonias, fushias or coleus, these can be planted Up with wandering yew for colorful effect. The shade loving impatiens is probably one of the best since tbey continously bloom from spring right tbrougb till frost, and can be used indoors or outdoors. Question of tbe week - can trees or shrubs be planted in tubs and be left over tbe winter outside - no , they must either be brougbt inside or the tree must be removed from the container and plant- ed in the soul in the garden la the faîl. Our weather la the winter is too severe since the tree will dry out from lack of water. What's new - tent caterpil- lar - this is really not true, they bave been around for many years, but this is the year that will see tbem in large numbers, on almost any tree, but mainly flowering crabs, and the maples, and the best way to kill them is by spraying the trees with Sevin, or a contact spray that will hit them directly to destroy them. I would suggest flot to burn them out since this will do damage to the tree, even if you cut the brancb off , it will damage the shape of the tree, and burning can be dangerous. Happy Gardening. associatives forces which hold them there. Chemical processes are not the only factors that cause dry, brittie hair. Prolonged exposure to the sun, excessive combing, brushing or teasing can alter the balance by disrupting or destroying the barrier. Furthermore, once the barrier bas been disrupted, the less resistant internai structure is subject ta outside attack and the water binding ability is changed. This mechanical distruction is often manif ested in dry, split ends or frizzies. By understanding the chemistry of hair it enables you ta choose, and apply proper reconditioning treat- ments. But a thorough analysis by >, a prof essional will help you to, find out what damage the internai structure, of yourhair bas suffered, loss of Srotein, moisture or, oth. Ontario Hydro Contract Awards For 1978 Ontario Hydro contract awards for 1978 totalled $2.2 billion - an increase of $800 million over 1977. It was the second consecutive year that tbe total valus( of contract awards bas increased. About haîf of the increase can be attributed to the awarding of turbine-generator contracts for Darlington and Atikokan. generating stations. -Canadian sources accounted for 75.7 per cent of tbe total value of 1978 purchases, excluding primary fuel, and more than 90 per cent of these purchases were placed in Ontario. purchases of primary fuels used or stocked for the generation of electricity increased from $556 million in 1977 to $695 in 1978. Coal purchases accounted for almost 69 per cent of the 1978 expenditures and nuclear fuel for 18.1 per cent. Natural gas, witb 7.4 per cent, and Canadian produced residual oil, 5.8 per cent, made up the, balance. As in 1977, tbe supply of materials and equipment exceeded demand, with the exception of a few highly specialized areas such as the computer industry. The trend to an emerging surplus of manufacturing capacity in 1978 was a world-wide one, due to the low levels of growth in the major industrialized countries. However, the decrease in value of the Canadian dollar during 1978 gave a comnpeti- tive edge to tbose companies with high Canadian content, despite strong competition for all available business. Fuel deliveries were Section Two comnpletely adequate in 1978 to meet the needs of the electrici- ty system, although supple- mentary spot purchases of coal were needed to offset the effects of the United Mine Workers' strike in the first quarter of the year in the United States and to replenisb stocks depleted by increased electricity exports. Coal consumption in 1978 totalled 91 000 000 Mg 100,000,000 tons). The movement of Western Canadian coal to the coal- handling terminal at Thunder Bay began on schedule mid- way through 1978, and by year's end 600 000 Mg (660,000 tons) had been delivered. Nuclear fuel deliveries totalled 568 Mg(U) (626 tons UJ) during 1978. In February the Ontario Government rati- fied two major uranium sup- ply contracts with Denison Mines Limited and Preston Mines Limited. The former will supply 48 500 Mg (53,500 tons) of uranium over the period 1980-2011, while the latter will supply 27 700 Mg of uranium (30,500 tons) over the period 1984-2020. The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 13, 1979 9 Fined '2,500 For Evading Tax Payment On June 6, 1979, la Provincial Court Bowmaaville, Leo A. DeBruyn, a salesman, was found guilty by Judge Bark of evading payment of taxes for the years 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1976.
