calgary had de scribed for us also on the week- nd we got to taltriny about western weather our tnends told us that when they first moved west they heard a lot about the wonder ful chinook winds which brought mild weather in the midst of sub zero temperatures they have been out there three years now but have only experienced these phen omena three or four times which loyajl calgarians tell them is excep tional there was one occasion when the temperature was at 30 below and during the nightjajwarn chinook shot it up to 60 above the next day as you can imagine the snow and ice melt like magic and heavy winter topcoats are left at home in the clothes closet as a rule the effects of a chinook are felt for three or four days and then the normal ubzero weather sets in again while on the subject of freakish weather we also beard of a hailstorm experi enced in calgary shortly before our friends left for their eastern trip they have seen what we consider big hailstones in ontario which might occasionally attain the size of marbles but these western hail stones were the size of pullets eggsl and actually left big dints in the fenders of fhe family car many cars had their windshields smashed and a good many houses in calgary had broken windows the situation was such that for several weeks there was a glass famine in cal gary there had been such an un precedented call for it due to the hailstorm damage coming back to subjects a little closer to home mrs j caseley and sons bob and grant have moved back to town from malton and are living in mis- anne hickey s house on john st mrs

taking the trip some weeks ago chatting with m- parton she tells me they have rea son to be grateful to all their gifts and good wishes prior to their de parture a week ago friday the friday afternoon club held a bon voyage party for her at the home of mrs sam wlker it s twenty- two years since mr and mrs par- ton have been back to england the new assistant princi pal of the public school mr v a stein has bought the harry sheppard s house on queen street and will be moving in this month mr and mrs stein have one son and come to georgetown from brantford weve mentioned from time to time the more com mon garden varieties of flow ers blooming just now and what a lovely showing they make theres a house plant however which al ways blooms into prominence at this time of year and for the next few weeks it is an exotic one a cactus in fact which produces only a few shortlived blooms year ly but they are of such beauty and fragrance that the possessors of the nightblooming cereus cherish the plant all year round just for the thrill of seeing the flower open the buds of the cereus arc for med on the edge of the cactus leaf and at the peak of their develop ment resemble large drinking gob lets there can be as many as 15 buds on a plant but all do not nec essarily bloom the night the flow er is to bloom the two petals at the top of the chalice bud start to unlock about 6 30 pm the outside petals are a deep rose and the in side is shaded down to a creamy j waxcoloured centre the flower is not completely open until 1030 pm i and then it measures about 12 in diameter and is cupped about 6 in depth looking into the lily one is reminded of the interior of a cathedral the large centre sta men and the hundreds of little ones seeming to fprm a cross with mini ster choir and congregation in their places as the flower opens an overpowerjngly beautiful scent fair ly gushes from it and can fill a whole house with its fragrance it is a sight well worth waiting for the cereus which bloomed at the home of mrs l webster ner val last week first started to show buds last june we believe mr and mrs thomas warnes of town also possess a night blooming cereus and mr and mrs charlie mcnally of terra cotta also had blooms on their unique plant this month the monday night knit ting club held a party and presentation for miss margaret pasmore last thursday evening at the home of mrs david saxe miss pasmore will be leaving town shortly for a position with the tor onto office of smith 8c stone ltd for the past few years she has been on the staff of the georgetown office and has made her home with mrs isobel cleave mcnab street expressing regret at her departure the girls of the club presented miss pasmore with a travelling alarm clock its old news now to the pipe band girls but there will be still many who did not hear of their wonderful trip to par ticipate in the 250th birthday cele brations of the city of detroit which took place in late july nineteen girls made the trkp with mrs l w dann as chaperone travelling all night by bus to reach the city early saturday morning pauline norton who described the irip for us said that never in the bands his tory of parades had she seen any thing to top it the parade started at noon and went on till 9 30 at night the girls themselves waited in place for four hours before their turn came to march so they had a wonderful view of most of the el aborate floats it was estimated that 25 000 people marched and that the watching crowd along woodward avenue numbered 800000 the canadian section made a big hit with detachments of navy army and air force essex and toronto scottish and the mounties the girls who had been hired by the st andrews society tor their third appearance in detroit marched with the scottish section however the girls were disappointed in not seeing president truman who spoke at city hall five hundred fbi men mingled in the crowd as guards and planes flew overhead while the president was speaking a highlight of the decorations was a huge flag which covered the block long hudsons dept stove the girls also got a thrill from the birthday cake which was set on a bandstand in the square across from the tuller hotel where they were billeted after the parade they were guests at a scotch supper in st andrews hall and opened a concert there before starting on fhe trip home- r legion notes m note to council- in case our city fathers think it was the little people who cleaned up the fast ball diamond painted the bases and cut the grass it wasnt it was mem bers of the legion and smith and stone fastball teams the boys got together last thursday night and really did a complete overhauling on the diamond in anticipation of the playoffs they were ably abet ted by one of their most consistent fans lloyd keir who came along to give a hand and also brought along some white paint and a brush which irrfp roved things a hundred per cent those responsible for the effort sure deserve a hand and we think that its too bad that when the boys go to the trouble of fixing the diamond up the least the public can do is get out and support them especially legion members for after all youve got the best team in the league by far and their rec ord proves it on top of which pat terson aid tomlinson say they tan lick any two men who say they havent the league is trying to get the town to have the outfield cut now and then the field will be in first class shape oh yes and the team managers ask us to put a little note in requesting that the character or characters who seem to manage to drive over the edge of the diamond refrain spin ning their wheels in the soft ground those three and four inch ruts dont help things any maybe the town could be talked into putting up a bit of snow fence aloifg the edge playoffs start tuesday night and this should really be a dilly of a series with most of the boys back from their holidays rarin to go we believe some of the teams are try ing to arrange a few sunday games and if you think things are not really busy down around the branch these days just check the bulletin board trip to exhibition on saturday warriors day
