BURKETON Interesling Career of the Welshman Wishing Io Emigrale Io Canada Landed in Bowmanville 31 Years Ago In the summer of 1920, a young Welshman, recently returned from World War service on the continent, decided he wanted to emigate to Canada. He did, ev - entually, but in a novel way. Unfamiliar with tbis great na- lion, the young Welshman, witb lypical British ingenuity, bought a mnap of Canada, picked up a pin and stabbed it in the general di- rection of Ontario. The pin-head Reg. Harding pierced the geographical location of Bowmanvihlc, and Reg. Hard- ing, the British emigrant, set bis sigbts on this town. Pen in hand, Reg. Harding wrote Mayor H. L. Quinn, stated bis qualifications and rcquestcd cmployment in Bowmanville. As Goodyear was the town's largest industry, Mayor Quinn lurncd the letter over to Assistant Super- intendent A. M. Hardy who offer- ed the Welsbman a job by return mail. Before the Bowmanvîllc-bound Reg. Harding lcft England, bow- ever, he received a second letter from Mr. Hardy enclosing a $2 bill accompanied by a request that an advertisement be insert- cd in an English ncwspapcr for 15 or 20 additional men. Art Joncs, prýsenthy working in the Hose Deot., Geo. Meadows of Newcastle, and Bert Fry, Scugog St., answercd the advcrtiscmcnt and emigrated to Bowmanville. Both Meadows and Fry worked at Goodyear for a considerable number of years. Born in Wales Born in Newport, Wales, in 1891, Reg. Harding workcd as an office clcrk in bis youth and later became the manager of a cold stor *age plant. During World War I be scrvcd with Lord Kitchcner's Army in the Royal Field Artil- lcry in France, Bclgium and Ger- many. He was discbarged in 1919. Arriving in Bowmanville, Mr. ,Harding started with Goodyear in November, 1920, but whcn the local rnbber plant wcnt th 'rough a trying pcriod the foliowing year, the man from Wales found bimself laid off. He went to work on Ex-Mayor Milton Elliott's farm. Towaïd tbe end of 1921, bow- ever, Reg. Harding rcturned 10 Goodyear. He was assigned to stripping bose.

Cut Flowers Can Be Kept Longer With Little Care Christmas is the lime whcn potted plants and cut flowers are frequenthy given as gifts. Here are some tips from Dr. A. P. Chani, Chief of the greenhouses at the Central Experimental Farm ut Ottawa. on how to prolong the life of cut flowcrs. Whcn buyîng flowers ask for some flower preservative. This can be supplied by most good florîsts. Used according to direc- tions it will increase the life of the flowers. It does this by slow- inîr down the bacterial growth in the water which clogs up the stems and prevents the flowcrs from gelting sufficient moistur-c. And as it also prevents slime from forming, frequent changesý of water are unnecessary-just add more. Cut the stems of flowers at a slant to provide a wide, freshi entrance for the water to penf!- trate. If the flowcrs bave a big woody stem, smash the end of the stem Up for about two inches 10 allow for a more free intake of water. If fiowers are wilted or show signs of wilting soon after arrivai, they can be revivcd by cutting the stem ends and im- mersing the flowers right up 10. but flot covcring the blooms, and phacing them in a cool dark loca- tion for six to twelvc bours. Cnt flowers are susceptible to drafts and excessive heat and wilhast longer if these conditions can be avoided. Close 10 Win- dows and immcdiately above bot water pipes or bot air registcrs are not suitable places for flow- ers. Actuaily the average living, or dining-room is gcncralhy 100 warm and it is always advisabIc to move flowcrs at night bo the coolcst place in the bouse. Forty degrees is ideal. but even tqn de- grecs lower than ordinary rooni temperature would bs beneficial. Canadian womcn were given the right to vote in federal elec- tions on Sept. 20, 1917. Beautiful White Giit Service atSt. Pcxul's Held Sunday Morning St. Paul's annual Whitc Gift service was held on Sunday mor- ning when the entire Sunday School attended the service and the Junior Choir under the di- rection of Mr. D. H. Williamns provided the music. Each child carried in gifts which were re- ceived by Betty Carruthers and Gladys Hodgson who were drcss- ed in white angels' costumes. The gifts were placcd in white baskets on cither side of the pul- pit. The service was conducted by the minister, Rev. H. A. Turner, with Mrs. Reta Dudley at the org- an, the Junior Choir sang as an anthem¶ '"Christmas Is Corne" by Rob Roy Peery. The gifts were taken to Wood- green Community Centre, Toron- to, on Monday, by Sunday School Superintendent, Wilfrid D. Car- ruthers. This is the Community Centre operated by Woodgreen Church, of wbich Rev. Ray Mc- Cleary is minister. Those in charge at the Centre told Mr. Car- ruthers that the need is great and xvere most appreciative of the contribution made. In arranging flowers, particu- larly if you have flot many, work for a triangular effect, cutting the stems to different lengths. .4 May this holiday season renew our faith in the future ... our hopes for life and a serenity of spirit that is the true essence -of the Yuletide .. .
