Plant auction is coming soon Ashburn and Area News by Florence Ashton Last Wednesday evening, Brooklin Horticultural Society held their monthly meeting and Narcissus Show at Brooklin United Church. There was a total of 43 entries, and due to the cool weather there were many classes with no entries. However, it was a good show overall with many lovely house plants entries. con- gratulations to Ken Brown who won the top prizes for best specimen of the show (iris reticulata) and also the best of the show for his house plant. The highlight of the evening was a slide illustrated talk by Douglas Lycett of Orono, whose subject was hybrid daylilies. Doug is specializing in developing plants most suited to our climate, and the range of colours and flower shapes were most intriguing. Coming up on Saturday, May 13, the Brooklin Society are holding another plant auction to be held at Grass Park in Brooklin.

The Sr. Choir sang "It is Well with My Soul."'Stephen Davidchuk and Kevin Irvine read the Scripture portions. The Cubs read Psalm 8 in unison. Rev. McEntyre presented each Cub with a badge, which was part of their Religion in Life Award. Another achieve- ment for them. Rev. McEntyre chose as his text, Philippians 4, verse 5.
