Evaluatlng your environ- ý-ment - is important for properplant growth. Suppose that you wanted to have some plants in the recreation room downstairs, but it has a low light level, and there are only small windows, but the humi- dity is high since it is below the soul level, you should take all these factors into consideration and use the plants that will grow in this environment or make the adjustments so plants can grow there by artificial light etc. Most commercial firms like to have plants in their offices to make the environ- ment as cheerful for their employees as possible, then you have' to check all the elements for proper plant growth, is there air condition- ing, are the ýlights shut off for the weekend, what type of heat is used, the dry air of the electric heaters etc. Planning and evaluating beforehand W'ill Save von a lot of trouble and will give you the required results. Until next week happy gardening. Hungarians Celebrate Feast of St. Stephen at Hampton P.ark, Sunday People from as far away as California and even Hungary itself helped many Hungarians -of the Durham Region eelebrate. the feast of st. Stephen on Sunday, August l9th in Hampton. The feast was part of a 1010-y'ear tradition and bas been celebrated in this area every year since the early 1920's. it is regarded as, the greatest national holiday of the Hungarian people. Each year. the day is celebrated at the 1-acre Hungarian park, located one mile east of Hampton. Born in 969 A.D., St. Stephen fought all people who tried to preserve the barbaric past'of Hungary. His efforts lor c-zi7rrint; out ChrisLlan reiurn ana làaying the foundation for a Christian state were recognized by Pope Sylvester Il in 1000 A.D. The conversion of the Hungarians opened the way for the advent of Christian culture into Eastern Europe. "The legacy of St. Stephen is something that doesn't diminish," said Anna Racz,, organizer of the picnic cele- brations. "It's something that must be remembered each year because it's the legacy of Hungarian Christianity."1 St. Stephen died in 1038 A.D. and was later elevated to the position of saint in the Catholic Church. A-priest from the Hungarian parish of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church, a Roman Catholic Toronto church, celebrates mass in honor of St. Stephen every year at the picnic. After morning mass, traditional Hungarian food, prepared by the women; was served for lunch. There were sports activities ini the after- noon and a dance in the pavilion of the park was to start at 3 p.m. Anna Racz said that traditions do not die eas.ily, especially in Hungary% where the annual celebrato of the feast of St. Stephen lives on despite opposition by the Communists. The annual picnic ai Hampton usually gets about 350 to 400 people every year. Djurham Farmers Plan Educational Area, Tour Invitations have been mailed out to local politicians, bank managers, media people and chamber of commerce representatives as part of a program to educated local residents about farming. Judi Stevens, secretary of the Durham Farmers Public Relations Committee said "The public is ignorant of what is involved in a farming operation. People tend to look at it as it was - not as it is". The group will begin with a bus tour of farming operations throughout Durham county on Sept. 13. Mrs. Stevens maintains that farming is extremely expen- sive and consumers are becoming more and more and more demanding in choosing products off the supermarket shelves. "They just won't accept an apple any more that is small or notcompletely red," she said. The Durham Farmers Public Relations Committee was formed in the, late spring when members 'of farming groups decided to do something about combatting public ignorance of the complexity and cost of farming. On Thursday afternoon, July 26th, 1979 the family of Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Veleke held an Open House for friends and neighbors of the community at the home of their èldest son, John on the occasion of their 5th Wedding Anniversary. A reception was also held on Saturday night, July 28th, 1979 in their honor at the Brownsdale Community Centre for family and friends. Among the many guests who attended were: Mr. Velekes' brother, John Veleke and his son Tim who arrived from Holland for the occasion. The family presented them with an epDgraved set of Golden Wedding Bands among the many cards, flowers and gis they received. Also, a plaque from theOntario Government was presented by Sam Cureatz, M.P.P. j-i m-wprovince, particularly Raffweed Causes 'naV ever southern -,Ontario. -are the One Ontario weed that often suffers from mistaken identity is goldenrod. Many hayfever suffers blame this weed for their discomfort, but the real cuiprit is ragweed. The confusion is caused because the plants bloom at the same time, from early August to late September, says Dr. Jack Alex, environ- mental biologist at the University of Guelph. How-,. ever, there are no similarities between.the two plants. Unlike the bright yellow flowers of goldenrod, ragweed bas inconspicious spikes of tiny green flowers. Common ragweed bas finely divided green leaves, but giant rag- weed can reach heights of l0Oto 12 feet (3 to 3.5 m) with leaves 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) wide. James ns urance Agency Limited 24 King St. E Bowmanvlle For al lvour insurance needs Doug James af 623-4406 "The characteristic -of rag- weed that causes hayfever is a particular type of protein component in the pollen, not the fact that it has small pollen grains," says Dr. Alex. "Goldenrod bas a different type of protein in its heavy pollen. It affects only a tiny proportion of the population, ando the only by Udirect contact." The protein in ragweed irritates a high percentage of the population. Even in the Muskoka region, where rag- weed is rare, residents may still suffer from the typical symptoms - watery eyes and sneezîng. "Ragweed pollen can travel hundreds of miles, on the wind," ays Dr. Alex. "The ony safe areas in the povince frhafeve sufferers are in northern Ontario." Trhe urban areas of the worst arcas for flayiever. Ragweed is commonly found in cultivated fields, feîicelines, waste areas, vacant lots, and along stream banks and edges of Woodlands.. "Even after the crops have been har'vested, ragweed flourishes and produces new flowers and more pollen," says Dr. Alex. The only sure way to avoid the discomfort of hayfever is to plan a northern Ontario holiday in late summer. Another solution is to instal an air-conditioner that will screen out the pollen. If' discomfort is severe, see your doctor to arrange a series of allergy shots. To help reduce hayfever, eliminate ragweed plants from your property. Don't worry about goldenrod unies s it overruns pastures ýor other cultivated areas. In England it is considered a garden flower. Let's Get Growing By Harry Van Belle Indoor Plants Envfronment - is the place where you will place the plants, whetner it is in the home or in the office, and it will have a certain environ- ment aIl of it's own, with it's own humidity, warmnth and light, and in most cases this environment will change with the seasons and sometimes even within a f ew days, such as going'away for the weekend and turning down the thermo- stat, there is no doubt about it that some plants will thrive in any environment, but most plants will have to be checked to see in what environment they will thrive the best, so when considering plants check your environment. Llght - is one of the important requirements for proper plant growth, and plants will not grow in the darkness, s0 some light must be available, some plants can stand up and grow in low light conditions and some can be placed directly into the full sun, or you can accomodate the plants with artificial lighting . Light in technical terms is measured in foot candles, and few of us have the equipment nor the know- how to be able to give each plant its exact amnount of light, 50 some advise fromn your florist and trying to find the best spot for each plant, will be determined how well a plant does in a particular spot. Humidlty - is probably one of the most basic of the three requirements for proper plant growth, and it may be the hardest to obtain the correct amount. Most homes today' are on the dry side, with the relative humidity running around 15 to 20 percent and the right amount would be 30 to 40 percent, this is probably the greatest cause of plant failure, lack of humidity, either caus- ed by low humidity or through air becoming dryer with a breeze, blowing through the home and then of course the dry air from a forced air furnace. Dry air will cause leaves to turn brown on the edges and in some plants will cause the leaf to completely whither, even when the soil appears to be moist. Warm air wii hold more moisture, s0 in the summer when the air is, naturally moist it will hold a lot of moisture, and that is why you feel comfortable when the relative humidity goes up, but with plants that are grown in the jungle they feel right at home, andusually will grow better in the summer than in the winter season.
