Swil- zerland with it's soaring mount- ain peaks and lovely green val-. iceys was brought tu members of the Horticultural Society on Thursday, December 9, by Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schmid. For Mr. Schmid it was a twenty year wait to retuirn to his native country. Switzerland borders on five di!- ferent countries and four lang- uages are spoken. They travelled on foot, by bus, car and train and Mrs. Schmid said Ihat she noticed that there was no litter anywhere.

Beautifult window boxes were seen everywhere, even where tie; hogs could reach them, fountainsý were adorned with baskets of, flowers and graves ln the cemet-I cries were a mass o! bloom. In touring one of the inany castles they saw red ribbon going from a bed to two cradies so that they could be rocked at night. Many of the churches and casties date back 'to the "1200's. In the Alps, where the young cattie are pastured high up for the summer, sprinkler systems are used lu keep the grass growing. Mr. Schmid had a recording o! an Alphorn, which is 15 feet long, and was formerly used b eall the cattie from the high his. H-omes are built there now so the horns are müainly a tourist attraction.
