How Io Grow Deautilul Gladioli Bowmanville Women's Institute met in the Union Hall on Thurs- day, October 26, with a goad at- tendance of members and a few visitors. Mrs. C. Gatchefl, lst Vice-Pres. presided for the brief business meeting and the hear- ing of the usual reports. Mrs. C. Johns will represent this Insti- tute officially at the Central Area Convention in Toronto on Nov. lst, 2nd, 3rd. 1 Mrs. Selby Grant outlined briefly the Junior Homemaking project which is to be followed this year, namely, "Clothes Clos- ets Up-to-date." She displayed some of the articles which the leaders made at the Training School for Leaders which was held early this month at the Agri- cultural office. Current Events for the month were ably revieWedl by Mrs. Roy Webber and the members re- sponded to the Roll Caîl with a hint for improving their gardens. Mrs. A. H. Clemens, Convener, presided for the program and af- ter several old-time santlgs were sung by the members she intro- duced the speaker, Mr. E. A. Sum- mers who is the popular and ver- satile Agrîcultural Representa- tive for our County. Womez's Institute members and guests were treated to an exceptionally enlightening talk on the growing of gladioli, by this outstanding leader in the culture of these beautiful flowers which are one of the choicestof aur annuals and admired by everyone for their exotic bloom and lovely color- ines. Mr. Summers believes that al- most anyone can inake a success of gardening as there is an at- traction ta growing anything that is beautiful. It can become an interesting hobby. He quoted the following para- graoh to prove his assertion. "There is a fascination about growing "glads" that becomes a hobby then a craze. There are five stages of intercst in grow- ing "glads." First you just grow them as an amateur, same as you would any other flower. Then as your interest in them increases you become a "fan," then a "bug," then a "nut" and finally a "friend." When you reach this final stage you are hopeless. Yo.î think of "glads" ail day, dreain of them at night, spend every available minute of your time in the garden, talk of them, visit thc shows, read ail the catalogues and spend ail your money on them. You will look lovingly at the last flower in the faîl, will handle over your bulbs in the wintertime and will hardly be able ta wait until you can lovingly plant the bulbs in the spring. Prom then until the first bloom appears is a neriod of happy anticipation. When finally the soikes of bloom appear you are in Heaven. Prom bis awn experiences In growing these flowers Mr. Sum- mers- drew on a wealth of know- ledge and passed it along to his audience. First. for successful growth yau must have healthy corms which have been dried as quickly as possible. treated with R solution of D.D.T. ta prevent thrip. the most common enemy of "glads," dried again and dusted and then stored in a cellar at 50' for winter storage. Por early bloom plant the bulbs from which the husks have been removed, in April and Mr. Sum- mers stressed the importance of again treating the bulbs to pre- vent thrip and of discarding those which do not look healthy. Plant 2 feet apart at depths of 5 or 6" depending on the type of soul. When the plants are a few inches high begin dusting again weekly,. with D.D.T. and then with plenty of moisture there should be beautiful spikes for cutting. He mentioned some of the best and most suitable var- ieties in the many color ranges.

Class "Whatever you have done you can do again and do better and in doing so, wilI find that work, wel done, can at the same time be fun," said Mr. Cecil E. Robinson, a former teacher of Courtice school and at present Chairman of the Ajax Board of Education, in concluding his address to the 1950 graduating class of Courtice Public School. Mr. Robinson re- minisced on the happenings at Courtice school when he taught there, and at ail times stressed that while it was a great deal of work, it was also a great deal of fun. The parents were interest- ed in hearing of the Ajax school system and in speaking to them Mr. Robinson urged they take an interest in their Home and School Association, in this way becom- Business Directory LE GA L W.

On behalf of the graduating class, Ted Hinds thanked the As- sociation for the pins and the ev- ening's entertainment. George McOsgram Demands Apology From the Publishers [t seems that George McOsgram is not particularly keen on the publicity we gave his attempt ta become a bonafide member of a local Coffee Club last week. In fact, he raged inta aur office Pri- day morning and demanded we print a public apology. In order ta keep friendly relations e!tant, we do so herewith: "We are extremely sorry that in aur edition of last week, we offended the dignity and slurred the stamach of George McOsgram, a staunch citizen and novice ad- dition ta a local Caffee Club re- ported ta hald meetings in the Hall of the Hallowed Urn." Our friend George was quite satisfied with aur intentions, Fni- day, and waiting for 10 o'clock, and coffee, lie leaned over the counter and, gesticulating wildly, said, "We of Coffee Club Number Two vehemently demand that thraugh the medium of your edi- tonial page, you advocate a coffee palicy whereby ahl bonafide club members (bearing the insignie ofj the coffee bean> be entitled ta purchase coffee at five cents per cup." He didn't mention a good five cent cigar or five cent nickel, nevertheless, we told him we would take the matter up with the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce at the first opportun- ity. "People seem ta forget," George McOsgram ranted, "1that Coffee Clubs are good for morale. Everybody should get a morning break," he stormed, "Take the breaks we had in the Navy. . ." "Sorry," we interrupted, "lWe didn't get any breaks in the Navy - we always got 'joed'." "You know what I mean," he flared, "Those fifteen minute coffee sessions they called 'stand- easies. ,We admitted aur acquaintance ,With 'stand-easies' but insisted that we were not aware the Navy broke for coffee -. we thought it Was rum.% "Drinking coffee is a noble undertaking that stimulates your entire being," McOsgram philos- ophized. i"Are you inferring that coffee ia stimulant?" we questioned. "Yes," he answered, "and a good. ane." "Such being the case," we be- gan, "coffee automatîcally falîs into a category with liquor. Con- sidering that the Town of Bow- manville is reputedly a 'dry town,' we feel the drinkîng of c6ffee should be outlawed." "Please, please don't print that," George said, "My wife's just look- ing for an argument. like that ta insist upon my resigning from1 coffee bean society." By this time he was reduced to sobbing. We told him we would "cut" it as a matter of friendship. "Thanks," he blub- bered all over the counter' with sopping wet eyes. "The wife's already kicking about the shine I'm getting.on my trousers from sliding into a meeting." "By the way," we queried. "How are your meetings going? 'Have you developed any 'new symptoms?", "Well, now that you mention, it," George began slowly, "I have been getting strange pains in my chest lately." "Indigestion?" we suggested, "after ail, you must have indiges- tion before you can be considered a bonafide member.", "Do you think so?" he asked wearing a very happy smile, "How soon can I expect ulcers" Just about that time, George apologized and were careful flot pardanèd himself for burping in ta siander him in any way.

Roses eaU IQXspecial attention. Bedding roses can be treated as illustrated in the diagram. Some- thing new for mulching hybnid teas and hybrid perpetual roses, as well as many bedding plants, came ta my attention last year. Glans-fibre insulation that contains little plastie or resîn water-proofing material was spread as a blanket aver the planta. Hybrid perpetuals were wrapped in burlap and then covered with the insulation materials. This mulch allows free circulation 6f air and permits water te pass through to the soil. 1 certainly intend to try it rnyself this year. Table-log Lumps This winter rmssta be a pleasant one.
