OUR READERS WR Solves mystery of plant in photo Your issue of April 1970 had on page a picture or a owned by Mrs It is I believe a member of tho family not a Chinese evergreen as stated in your article Chinese evergreens have no aerial roots which I believe can be seen In your photograph The flowers are similar those on the evergreen being Descriptions in the Encyclopedia of House Ranis by Dorothy H Jenkins suggest that the plant might be Hostatum or if the undersides of the leaves ore maroon it might be Both of these plants have the arrowshaped leaf as illustrated Those of the Chinese Evergreen are long ovals smaller though than those of the Dteffenbachia A Phil ode is rather a rare sight in bloom especially in a home My Chinese Evergreen is not in bloom at present but docs have about seeds on Neil Benton Wonders if Churchill part of Acton The Editor Acton Free Press Dear Sir After reading your moving editorial entitled Sweeper makes difference I began to wonder if Churchill Rd South is indeed part of Acton If it is then perhaps the people responsible for street cleaning would come along and clear the garbage from the cast side of the thoroughfare said garbage consisting largely of cardboard boxes bottles cans brake drums exhaust pipes and almost anything one cares to mention I swear that some day 1 will start a Keep Acton Beautiful campaign during which every property owner be asked to keep the road outside his property clear of debris Perhaps we will be able to appeal to those semimoronic hot rod drivers who toss empty beer and liquor bottles out of car windows on Saturday nights to take them to the dump instead And parents might teach their children that it really t done to bash nonreturnable pop bottles on the nearest kerb stone when there is usually a garbage can a few feci away Seriously though garbage falling off trucks going to the dump and papers earned by strong westerly winds at this time of year should be up by the town After all the town trucks drive down Churchill several times a day Tin drivers must sec the appalling mess so why on earth don they report it to the person responsible for keeping our fair clean Twelve months ago you printed a Icttir from me in your paper on the same subject Within about two hours or the Acton Free Press being on sale Churchill was as clean as a new pin If you arc kind enough to publish this letter we may get the same result this time Yours very truly Wright 1H8 Churchill Acton In touch with home town Millwood Toronto April 1970 I was born and lived in Acton vicinity until 1914 At

concession and the former Grand Trunk Railway now CNR I am enclosing a photo of our home there taken in spring some years ago The scroll work on the verandah was cut out by our father with a keyhole saw and it is still in good repair The other snapshots were taken by C Speight in the early 1900 s The one of the Free Press office was taken the morning after the en cclcbia lions The bottles on the are not soft drink bottles and the small building is not a sentry box You may have photos to duplicate the enclosed but in case you haven you are welcome to same I have forgotten the names of the perpetrators but I had the pleasure of watching the same boys under Mr Moore s direction clearing the debris away I passed my entrance examination at the same time as Myrtle Dills and Toots McKeckme
