theyre ust taking time out from their ambitious log cuthng project to man their bren gun carrier for the herald photographer property to the scout troop with a strong belief in the scout concept of self reliance mr schwingshandl explained the purpose first we want to dear the lahd to get the loss for our clubhouse but in add tion we want to train the boys in tie idea that they should work for something they want and not have it banded to them on a silver platter and they certainly do work grimy with smoke and dirt they carry the brurfh and tote that log but with a large mile on their faces and cheery shouting back and forth many a mother wouldnt recogniv the same boy to whom carrying an empty garbage can is a big chore a moneymaking byproduct is the firewood which they will sell any wood not usable the cabin is being cut and sold for firewood in addition they raise money by delivering ad vertising leaflets and collecting scrap all to go toward that fi nal goal of a clubhouse of their own gthandl the kouta not only plan to build their own club house but are cutting down trees and hauling the logs them selves to build it with the permission of acton limestone quarries they ire presently clearing five acres every sunday the hlgfapitched whine of chainsaws and the thud of axes is heard in tht quarries while bonfires burn the small underbrush the trees looped ogether with

georgetown coun cil at last weeks meeting of the credit valley conservation au thority further engineering is being done on the first pro ject at orangeville and we should have something definite in about eight to ten weeks councillors fred harrison and wheldon bmmerson of george town requested information on the planned dam at silvercreek camping rates sam campling rates in the terra cotta and honora conservation areas will remain the same last year at 1 00 per night daily parking fees have been raised to 75 cents per day and ion tickets to 4750 per year the conservation areas at terra cotta and belfountain will be open for the benefit of fish ennen on april 30 ponds have been stocked at terra cotta and fishing is excellent the wells near the proposed dam site and is fortunate in having a plentiful supply but we would like to know if this dam would be built in the near future we wouldnt want to be in the posi uon of some of the other muni cipalities in the area and have to refuse building permits for lack of water mr mcmillan explained that orangeville is first on the list and it is imperative that the start in water control be at the headwaters of the river he said that a meeting in the near fu ture with provincial authorities would clear up any misunder standing of future assistance from ontario in flood control plans i can only underline the sense of frustration the cvca felt when federal government help was refused rr parker said mr parker is chairman of the flood control advisory board of the authority we must do a satisfactory job above george town to control the quantity and quality of the water new conservation area a new multipleuse conserva tion area will open next month one mile north of orangeville with the blessing of the town of

cant be used in the construction of their cabin or is not saleable at cord wood is burned local terminology confusing heres an aid for new comers dont ask why the blackened cnr overpass at the top of the mam st hhl is the white bridge or why the row of stone pillars that constitutes the lofty railway trestle across the valley at the towns north end is the iron bridge but thats what they re known-

those arc enough for any recent arrival to memorize 41 one time now go ahead and converse like a native the georgetown gardener too soon too deep are faults in gardening by gordon lindsay smith avoid these gardening is such a wide ranging hobby that there are exceptions to every rule generally however the three commonest mistakes of the beginner when it comes to seed sowing are too soon too deep and too thick there are a few things like lawn grass seed sweet peas the first radish and onions which one can get into the ground just as soon as it is dry enough to work but for the great bulk of flower and veget able seeds and for most of can ada early may is about as soon as it is safe to sow most plants like really warm weather and if the seed is sown while there is still snow and frost around they will simply lie dormant or may indeed rot actually sowings m may and june will make such fast growth that they will most catch up with those made in late april however for ex tn early bloom and vegetables it will do no harm a could be considerable planting a fw reeds about third or fourth of the packet only extra early if they are lost we still have plenty of seeds for the main sowings and if they do come through we have the thrill of beating out our neighbours dont bury them then for the second admonition ab out planting too deeply there is a lot of seed and effort wast ed in this way every spring af tcr germination the tiny sprouts haven t a chance to push their way up to light and air a good rule is to plant the seed about three times its diameter now this means fm- big seeds like beans peas corn morning glories scarlet runner beans and so on about one to two in ches deep but for tiny seeds such as those of alyssum pop pies carrots and lettuce merely scatter on top soil and press in firmly with extra fine seed that we can hardly see it is a good idea to mix thoroughly with a little fine sand and sprin kle the two together of course in this planting the finer the soil the better if lum py it is almost impossible to sow evenly and if both lumpy and hard the tiny plants are go ing to have a tough time come through give them room and fin ally the warning about too thick even the tiniest plant such lettuce or alyssum ageratum or forgetmenots require a cert ain amount of room for normal development if crowded togeth er they become weak and spind ly a prey to the first heavy rain or some disease big things like gladiolus canna lilies andafric an mangolds should have eight inches to a foot or so between and even the smaller plants such as the dwarf marigolds nasturtiums need a few more inches both ways if when they germinate they come up more closely than this they should- be thinned vigorously heat your home nwrnoownwaywwi natural gas and smart
