PROPERTY SALES BRISK A steady demand for homes and choice building lots is reported by Whitby real estate agents. The de- mands for apartments and houses to rent is becoming more acute and is not likely to improve, in their opinion. Construction work now under way is bringing not a few people to town and boarding houses are being sought. Campion Worst of Weeds Whether you call it Bladder Cam- pion, Bladder weed or Cow Bell, it still remains one 'of Ontario's worst weeds according to the Crop Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. It can be identified among the cockles by its smooth leaves and stem, white flowers and inflated seed pod topped by three or six curved teeth. It spreads by seed or by pieces of the crown. Cutting before mid-June and careful cultiv- ation are necessary for its control. When only small patches are present, applications of sodium chlorate, ammate or heavy and repeated applications of Brushkill will eradicate it before it gets a chance to spread. Brushkill is a fifty-fifty mixture of 2,4-D and 2, 4,5-T and should be applied at the rate of two or three ounces of acid per gallon of water. Bladder Campion is usually in- troduced as an impurity in Red Clover seed and is scattered throughout the field. Chemical con- trol is not practical under these conditions. The hay should be cut early in June and the field plowed. Frequent cultivation from: plowing till fall with a broad tooth cultivator will go a long way to cleaning up the field. Early spring cultivation followey by a row crop will take are of most of the survivors. Don't buy clover seed unless you know it is free of Bladder Campion, and if you do find it on your farm spray it or cut it before it goes to seed.

Swimming Pool May Be Open In 10 Days Says Chairman Of Committee Swimming Pool Chairman Gordon 'McMahon re- ports excellent response to a plea for assistance to paint the inside of the Whitby swimming pool. Mr. McMahon, chairman of the com- mittee in charge of the construc- tion and operation of the pool on Byron Street North, states that enough volunteers appeared in one day to paint the entire interior of the pool. Earlier this month, the commit- tee which is preparing the pool for its official opening this season, sent out a call for volunteers to apply the first coat of paint to the interior. This first coat must be applied by hand. In reply to this call, a great number of adults Committee (and children appeared on Stokers Win 6 To4 | the scene and shortly the entire inter- ior of the pool and great portions of the exterior of some of the paint- ers was covered with a green coat. In fact, reports chairman McMa- hon, some children considered it a duty to change the color of the faces of some of their friends. The second coat of paint, which will be sprayed on, has already been promised by W. S. Simpson, Whitby painter, who has volunteer- Speeders Bow To Electric Speed Trap A considerable and very desir- able improvement in the local traf- fic situation is reported by Chief Constable 'Charles Fletcher, w ho believes that the operation of the electric speed trap has had a salutory on motorists who think that they can make speedways of local streets. Chief Fletcher said that the trap is still in operation and he is de- termined to see that the traffic rules are obeyed in the town. At this time of the year traffic in- creases, and, furthermore, there are more children around on ac- count of schools being closed. The chief asks motorists to be extra careful in this respect. Before the trap was introduced speeding on such streets as Dun- das East and Brock ' South was rampant. "We certainly don't want 95 miles per hour in this town." the chief remarked, having in mind, no doubt, a case of a motor. -R. L.
