It was like attending a flower festival to see the show tables literally fill- ed with such beautiful entries of spring flowers, African Violets and Amaryllis-just to name a few. We can be thankful for the unusually warm weather for making this possible. There was a total of 104 en- tries in the show. Fun with Flora was enjoyed by all, naming 20 different birds in our area. We were privileged to have Jack Lord, a representative from the Royal Botanical Gardens as the guest speaker. He was an excellent speaker and certainly captured his audience., as he told of the many ways to attract birds to your garden. His subject was "'Planting to Attract Birds in Your Garden." Also taking us on a trip through the seasons, with his fine film presentation. For all bird lovers, it was a real treat to see such beautiful photography. Above all, plants should provide food, shelter and nesting sights for our feathered friends. The greater number of species of trees, evergreens and plants we grow, the more bird species we will be able to attract.

She remarked how she enjoys reading the weekly local news in the Port Perry Star.

Our special greetings to our friends who . live afar. Sunday was a great day of celebration in Burns congregation, when we commemorated the 19th Anniversary of the opening of the new Burns Church. The sanctuary looked lovely with baskets of spring flowers. The choir selection was titl- - ed "Because He Loved Me." During the service we listened to a tape which several members com- piled, and each person spoke in their own way what the church means to them, and also reflecting on the events of the fire which occured on February 12th, 1967, and also the rebuilding of the church. Two poems were read which were composed by Vera Leach and Mrs. Lucy Anderson. I feel there were a few silent tears shed as we viewed the destruction of our beloved "church building. The memory of that day will never be erased from our minds. It was nice to reminisce and to once again reflect on that tragic day in the history of our con- gregation, and to also view the slides of the re-building of our building of our beautiful new church building, which was dedicated on Sunday, April 21st, 1968, by members of the Lindsay Presbytery, with our minister Rev. Wm. Black assisting. The service was attended by over four hundred members, relatives and friends, with Rev. Kenneth Heron preaching the sermon of dedication. In the evening, we were pleased to welcome the Kiwanis Club of Sydenham, from Oshawa who con- ducted the service, and ministered to us in music. It was especially nice to hear Mr. Samuel Hollingsworth, a member of the choir sing. so beautifully "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Refreshments were served following the service and a time of fellowship enjoyed by all, which concluded a very memorable day for us as a congregation.

Fibre seems to decrease the risk of bowel cancer, as well as constipation, diverticulitis, and gall bladder disease. CALCIUM: Make sure you get plenty, through diet or a calcium carbonate supplement, especially if you are female and over 35: it helps prevent osteoporosis, a potentially iife- threatening disease in which bones lose their density, become brittle and break easily. Dairy products, milk, cheese, broc- coli and salmon and sardines with bones are high in calcium. EARS: Turn down that stereo, as loud noise and music may permanently damage your ears. Get your hearing checked if you, or your friends, notice any changes in your ability to hear, or pay attention. BLOOD PRESSURE: Get it checked once you reach your mid- die years.
