THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL HOBBY COLUMN By Wm. D. Christianson, Jr. If you were the lucky receip- ient of a plant at Christmas you may find a few suggestions on their care will enable you to pro- long your enjoyment of them. Probably you received a Poin- settia, one of the most favorite plants at this season. A native of Mexico and commonly grown in the gardens of the West Indies and Central America, this plant is remembered by its brightness. What we think of are not flo- wers however, but the red bracts or modified leaves, while the true parts of the flower are the small appendages in the centre. These red bracts should not be wetted when watering, Never give cold water nor water from below. They should be protected from drafts and i should be avoided. In the ordinary house where the humidity is not high they can stand watering twice a day. If the flower is cut from the plant, dip the end of the stem into hoil- ing water or seal with a flame to prevent bleading. Another popular gift plant is the Christmas Cherry or Jerusa- lem Cherry. It is longer lasting and less delicate than the Poin settias, thriving well in a cooler temperature and withstanding. greater variations in tempera. ture. It is a sun-loying plant but is very hard to keep where there is gas in the house. It needs plenty of water while the cher- ries are on it. Some liquid man- ure will be helpful about once a week, Spraying the foliage occasionally is also good. The main plant in many of your mixed pots is probably a Begonia. These are easy to keep, needing only to be kept moist and have a fair amount of sun- light. Turn them around from time to time and sprinkle the foliage occasionally to keep them in shape. Another popular plant is the Azalea which if not allowed _to become dried out will bloom for a long period with suc- cessive buds opening as the old ones fall off. Do not over water and sprinkle the leaves once a week. 7 African Violets are very pop- ular these days and have been introduced in a variety of shades. They tolerate ordinary room room temperature but are tem- permental towards watering. Plenty of water is required but it must not get on the leaves, Water on the hairy leaves caus- es them to decay, so all water- ing should be done" from below. There should always be water in the, saucer. They do best in a western window where there is a plenty of fresh air and no drafts. After four months flow- ering period they need an equal length rest. Separating the roots will cause set backs so should never be done during the flower- ing period. If a leaf should be- come broken off, it will take root in water and can he started in a fairly rich soil to yield fur- ther plants for your friends. Cyclamens or Swiss Violets were Alpine plants from Europe, and have come into many of our homes this Christmas. They should be watered just like the last, being kept damp, but not soggy, maybe needing watered twice daily if your hotse air is at all dry. Give them plenty of light but not direct sunshine, Keep it cool and it will yield blooms for several months. Those who made a list of the birds seen last Sunday should send them in at once so we can publish them next week. Sport Executive R --Central Press Canadian This smiling gentleman is F.

CLUB 20 © By Marion Languay As we stand on the threshold of a new year, our thoughts naturally reflect on the twelve months of 1948 which have just been complet- ed.

May the New Year bring to all of you a materialization of yet unfilled dreams, and every day of 1949 add to the happiness and prosperity which is right fully yours. Average luk Has Three Colds Yearly Statistics reveal that Canad- ians on the average have three colds a year. Very few escape this common menace to health. Unfortunately, so far science has not been able to pin down the cold virus. It cannot be seen under a miscrope and not much is known about it. With literally millions of colds to study, the best guide to pre- venting them seems to be in fairly simple common sense pre- cautions. The prinicipal thing is to keep the body's resistance high by observing a Sound diet and other hygenic rules. Chilling, wet feet, drafts, damp clothing, exposure to bad weather, these lower resistance and permit the cold virus which is always pre- sent in the nose, throat and mouth to invade the body tis- sues. A cold results. Recommended steps in getting rid of a cold are as follows: 1. Start treatment at first sign. 2. Go to bed. If you have a fever, body aches and weakness, call a doctor. 3. Eat lightly, drink plenty of water, broth or citrus juices. 4. "Sweat out" the cold. Take hot lemonade and a hot bath be- fore going to 'bed. Put extra covers on the bed. .

Highest score registered since the opening of the Greg- ory bowlng lanes was turned in this week by Don Green, who tumbled the maples for a near perfect 406 score. This mark will give town trundlers something to shoot at during the remainder of the season. Open house at the lanes over, Christmas season found several fine score being marked up. Best competitive effort was that of Bert Chapman, who clicked for 306. Other neat masculine marks|" were those of H. Christianson at 275, R. White at 237 and W. Alway at 251. Top feminine score was Marg Head's 244, followed by other prize winning totals piled up by Mrs. Schroeder (173), Irene Hinton (183) and Vi Inglehart (188). Even the pinboys, who usually keep more than busy at the other end of the alley, came up to the foul line end to take part in their own competition. Don Fitzsimmons sat the pace to claim first prize with a tidy 196, with Carl Patterson only five pins back at 191. League competition continues to be of a high standard as the town continues on the road to- ward establishing itself sas a bowling stronghold.
