J ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WUýDNESDAY, JUNE 29th, 1971 * Clarke High (Continued from page 1) use as a grade 13,study raom. Il was notcd that an addition of a Llbrary -Resource Centre at Cour- tice with. completion by the end of December 1971 wauld provide facilîities'at this date for a study anea for grade 13. 1Mn. Carman said he, was satis- lied with the auteome but said it did flot nesalve the overaîl quest- îon af use and placement af port- ables by the Board. Mn. Rolphi-al- so expressed the same view and said thiat at the last meeting he was left with the impression that the Board could not shift their own portables from anc sehool ta anothen without the approval af the Department. This seems now ta be happening. At the previaus mieeting Mn. Rolph stated he saw no reason why they couldn't ýmave their own potabiles fÎi)m one sehool ta another. Mr. Thom,,said approval was needeéd. Mr. Warren, a Darlingtan rep- resentative, said that he wished -ta carify the inference at the ;ast meeting that the anc port- able at Coutice was used as a smoking noomi for grade 13 stud- ents. 1He said lie had lnvestigated this matter and could find no fact ta support the ,view. H1e wished thîs ta be cleaned up. NEW OFFICE The County Board of Eduication expects ta be in thein ne>v offices ut the former Army Depot, Ca- bourg by July 12th.

Local President Attends -Horticultural Convention On Wednesday, June 16, 1971, I had the privilege, again to at- tend, as delegate from Orono, the 65tbh annual convention of the Ontario ilorticultural Association. It was a beautiful iay and the driMýe ta Windsor with Mr. and Mrs. George Buckley was a pleas- ant bëginning, as along with fel- low , repibers fromi Newcastle, Mrs. B. lloogkamip, Mrs. L. Les- nick and Mrls. L. W. Fishier, we happily discuissed everytinig fromn pies ta polities. ConventiLen headquarters were set up iii Vanier Hiall, a beauitiful new building which wais just an excavation when we were thene in 1968 at the University of Winid- sor. After settling in our comnfart- able accommodations ilu MacD)oi- aid lHall, a refreshivis\jit ta thie cafetecria, greeted in friendly fash- ion by the' many studenrts ln resi- dence for summer courses, we as- sembled and were; taken on a guided tour of the beautiful cam- pus by a .pleasant gentleman wearing a name card "Peter". As there wvas quite a following we were not always able to hear "Peter" but enjoyed a lively trot around a fair acreage which tired us enough that we were content ta sit stili for the Iter show of tal- ent fram district 11. Good strategy we thought! One. exceptionally fine,. glass fronted new building_ proved ta be Windsor Hall, which bouses the quarters and offices of the Dea.l and faculty members. We did not catch the, namne of the architects but did understand these buildings had won for themn very higb praise and awards. One imposing structure resembles a racket site but in reality was two hunge. stacks, encased in cane*rete pilles and housing the air con- ditfining anld heating plant for the University. Our guide painted out, streets of apartmnents and homes, purchaged ta bouse nianried stu- dents and provide extra office and class room space, thus saving the great .expense of new buildings. At one point reeently hie said, money was available for more additions and a.curling rink ývins greatly favouned but the students tbemselves voted ta use the money for further Iclass rooms, showing, he sajd, the fine spirit of these yaung people who are a_ great pride ta the University.

Fishier, were privileged ta be shown through. I'ltundling a corner 'we found a Priest water flower beds in a sheltered corner by the Rectory door. Roses, pans- ies, gerar4uims, an arbour of purpie clematis, dahlias, wondering. jew, which he said bears a new flower every day, borders af silvesmoth and along one wall a row of sun- flowers were gnawing. Hein- ivited us ta pick a clematis flower and we' brought- away with us, the memory of a very quiet and beau- tiful corner. At 7 pr.. Mr. St. Clair Tennant showed a collection of coloured slides, donated by the Weston Sa- ciety, of peonies of extreme beau- ty and varieties tao numerous ta name. He suggestcd we do not cut any more stemrs or fluage than we need when gathering blooms as they are necessany for the strong develapment of the plants.
