In a deal involving a capital in- vestment greater than that of apy going concern in this town for many years, the Balmoral Hote] changed hands this week.

The group scene is taken at District Floists Win Prizes At International Show Three local flower growers figured prominently in the prizes awarded at the annual exhibition held under auspices of the Can- adian Gladiolus Society, which took place at Simcoe, Ontario, Aug. l6th and l7th. It is Canada's largest and most important ex- hibition in this field and it takes on an international aspect since many exhibits corne from points in the U.S.A. It was estimated that there were over, 5,000 blooms on the tables arranged in the Armouries. Dr. E. W. Sisson and E. A. Summers, who won many prizes at the Peterboro Show, Aug. l4th and lSth, went on to Simcoe and were joined at that exhibition by Harry Jose, Newcastle. Their wins at these shows confirms that Bow- manville and Newcastle have be- corne almost tops in Gladiolus culture. At Peterboro, Dr. Sisson had 13 entries in the open class and won 8 firsts, 5 seconds. Mr. Summers won 2 firsts on 2 entries. In the seedling class Mr. Summers won the champion white the first dayý and Dr. Siýson the champion spike the second day. Mr. Summers won in the most beautiful class with his Greta Garbo and again with the most beautiful spike, blush on seedling. Dr. Sisson won his championship with a Red Charm spike. At Simcoe Dr. Sisson, in the seedling section, won lst and 2nd, single spikes, decorative, and 2nd with a black red.

Many of the spectacular sprays of Glads seen about town and in store *.indows corne from the gardens of these enthusiastic florists. One beauty, the gift of Dr. Sisson, is on display at The Statesman office. Reeve Sid Uttle' Attends Mayors' Cbonference Ft William Metropolitan dailies on sale Thursday gave prominence to a picture showing notable municipal figures on board a lake liner destined for Fort William to at- tend the annual convention of the Mayors and Reeves Association of Ontario. Arnong the group could be seen Reeve Sid Little, Bow- manville, who took part i. the two-day meeting. The national convention of Mayors was held in Vancouver earlier in the summer at which Bowmanville was represented by Mayor C. G. Morris. The Fort William gathering încluded Reeves and Mr. Little was authorized to attend. Discussion at these con- ventions brings out points of in- terest for the'srnaller municipal- ities, which are particularly valuable i. postwar administra- tion. Northern Ontario captured the presidency of the association this year when the Mayor of Timmins, first French Canadian te hold the office, was elected. Mayor Saund- ers, Toronto, was elected Vice- President. Principal resolutions; adopted were a demand that a rebate be granted on gasoline for ail mun- icipal vehicles or tax free gaz for such public utilities. Another thing debated was the action of Boards of Education in spending 3governrnent educational grants. 1 It was felt that this money should ibe paid direct te councils. 1 Reeve Little, evidently a good t sailor, arrived home Monday with ta full report of preceedings. He *is expected te report te council at its regular meeting the first ýi week in September with itemizedl ,- expense account. Dept.
