At the recent Annual Meeting of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario (FWIO), the Board of Directors urged the Ministry of the Environment to immediately immediately stop the use of Dombind as a dust suppressant suppressant on rural roads.

Look alter it carefully as you would a cut Bower. Once you select a Christmas tree, follow these suggestions to keep it fresh and sale: 1. If you buy a tree several days before you plan to set it iip, store the tree outdoors or on a cool porch or patio until you arc ready to decorate it. An area that provides protection from the wind and sun will help the tree retain its moisture. 2. If you plan to store the tree for several days, make a straight cut across the butt end of the tree about one inch from the end. This opens the tree stem so it can take up water. Store the tree upright and place the butt end in a container of water. 3. When you bring the tree into the house for decorating, make another fresh cut across the trunk about an inch from the original cut. Use a tree stand that holds plenty of water. 4. Trees arc thirsty. They may drink up to four litres of water per day, so be sure to check daily and supply fresh water as needed. A stand which holds at least four litres of water is recommended. If you allow the water level to drop below the bottom of the tree, a seal will form just as it docs on a cut Bower and a new cut will be necessary. 5. Place your tree away from fireplaces, radiators, television television sets and other sources of heat. Turn off the tree lights when you leave and before you retire at night.
