Jeeps Have. Ta ke n on a New Look Since ýWar Years Over at Grant Menzies between Oshawa and Whitby on highway two, there was a large assortment of '79 Jeeps and other American Motors vehicles on display. What struck our photographer was the remarkable changes and improvements that have been made in the four-wheel drive Jeeps since he drove one during the war. Now, they have everything that makes for luxury driving while still retaining ail the features that made them so popular for rough going. democratic form of govern- ment which iasted three centuries. In 927 they devised a Code of Laws for their House of Government called the "Allthing." The chief officer was the Law Speaker who recited ail the laws by memory. They converted ta, Christianîty as the population increased. In 1913 they obtain- ed equai status with Demnark but in 1944 they voted ta, end this union. In 1940 came the British occupation and in 1941 it became a U.S. NATO Base. They have unlimited poten- tial ta develop hydro power from swift flowing rivers but have few industries ta use it. Roads are found around the coast but the interior is not settied. Fishing industry and its processing plants are important. Their Education system is one of the worid's best. The population is close ta that of Durham Regian (210,000) in an area the size of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia combined. They are, a very tidy people with dlean cities and paid summer jobs for students include picking up debris in streets, parks etc. In 1963 the new island of Surtsey was formed nearby, from volcanic, action. From photos studied by scientists tbey gained insight into how Ice- land itself became an island some 50 million years ago. Some of these photos were shown to us.

Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. October 18, 1M783 LET GETGRoeOWINOI with Ha rry Va n Bel le QUESTIONS ON F,ýLL GARDENING What do 1 do with my faIt mnume? The hardy types of fali mums can be left in the soil but shouid have some winter protection, in the form of a caver of straw or peatmoss. The roots are shallow rooted, and wiil be separated from 'the body of the plant when the ground thaws and freezes in the early spring, althoughif they are planted in a sunny location, no winter protection wiil be needed. In the spring you should dig up the clumpe and split the roots, so that you get very emaîl divisions and they can then be planted and will give you a better plant for faîl. Keep in mind that the top of the new growth in the spring and eamly summer. should be pinched back so the aew growth wili branch out and give you a low nice round mound. Do 1 roil my iawn thie fail? No, neyer rail a lawn in the fali since ail it wîll do is ta compact the sali and wîli cause the water from the snow ta built up and will give you severe wînter damage. The oniy time a lawn should be roiled is in the early spring aftem the sou lias dried Up and you can walk aver the lawn without sinking in the soul, and even at this time it is advisible ta rail the iawn vemy lightly ta, press the sad back ta the soil. wbich bas separated with the freezing and thawing, iawn should neyer be molled ta take out the bumpe, since ail this will do is ta compact the soil, and stop the watem fmamn properly penetrating the soil. What should we do with the Azaleals and Rhododendrene to keep them fromn winter damage? The climate in aur area 18 just on the borderline for proper grawth af these broadleaf evergreens, when planted in a protective spot they can survive the winter. The best way ta protect themn is wrap the whole plant i buriap, neyer ever in plastic. This wiii keep down the amount of wind damage ta the foliage, since the flilage wil dry out because the leaves are semi-hardy and cantain a large surface area wbich are filled with celis which contain the sap for Lyrawth. How do 1 store my garden chemicals? This is an excel- lent question since most people including myseif have a tendency ta leave the chemicais in the shed or garage. The best way is ta, bring them into a weli ventilated area such as the basement of the house, in a cupboard or dry location that can be iocked sa the kids can not g et at this when piaying .inide in the winter. Chemi- cals shouid neyer be ieft where they will freeze and should neyer be left where animais or children can get at them. Can 1 use the outdoor chemi- cals on my house plante? No, neyer use any chemicals which are meant for outdoor use in the bouse, they are usuaiiv 'stronger than the types useci stmictly for indloors, plus the fact that when you spray outeide, the open air will quickiy disperse any fumes, but indoors the air is confined speciaily in the winter months, so that the fumes stay in the bouse and can make you very sick. In case of an accident caîl your doctor or =optl and tell them what cheà,a you have used 50 they can give you the right £întidote. UNTIL NEXT WEE9K, HAPPY GARDENING.
