The local fire( over is aîmost now com plete. truick to the Town of New- truck now bears the name To look full length down the array, of tulips at the Horti- cultural Spring Show was remniiscent of the tuiip beds in Ottawa. Althougli it was too early for some varieties and too late for others ail spec- ,umen classes were weli repre- sented. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Vanllorne of Whitby were the wvery competent judges. We are always ple sed to weicome new exhibitors and this year there were several - Mr. and Mrs. Laverne Patter- son, Mr. and MIrs. James Lowery, Mr. Ervan Rainey and Mrs. Gladys Gamnsby and ail were among the prize. winners. - -Mrs. Charles Miller was in charge of the meeting in the absence of the President, Aïr, Brown, in England and the lst Vice, Mr. Zegers in Hollanid. MAary very capably conducted the business which included discussion on delegates to the Horticultural Convention be- ing held in Niagara Falls. Mary, in asking Mr. Van Homne to speak on dahlias, said that anyone who couid, should visit the VanHomnes to see t' '4r gardens and in particular their dahlias, as she knew they would be welcome. Mr. VanHorne out- ined some pointers on the growing of da'ilia.s which they have found useful in their own experiences. He said you neyer need more than one tuber, providing it lias a good. eye, but it must be ý_.good one. lie suggested cutting a suice off the bottoin of the tuber so that next year you would know tliat it was an old tuber and shuuld flot lie planted - ýagain. The planting hole should lie deeply dug, the,, tuber piaced at 6" and a taîl stake put in at planting time. If the eye is sinail it should not be too deeply covered. Af ter growth 'appears fertilizer (they like phosphate) may be appiied around the plant. When wat- ering they should be well soaked once a week or maybe every 4 days during a dry spell. Sprayiiig should com- mnence early and when the 'buds start to Show should lie done once a week. Insects are the cause of buds not opening Don't be afraid to take off excess foliage. Dahlias may lie grown in partial, shade providing they get four bours of morning sun. Tliey don't like too mucli hot sun. Questions were also asked about gladioli, roses, philox, and other plants. Carl Billings and Charlie Taylor with their mouthor- gans and Doreen Lowery on the piano provided a musical interlude. Charlie also gave some violin selections. Mary calied on Bertha Toucliburn wio expressed the thanks of. the Soiety to our treasurer, Adele MlcGiil for lier work in making the stencils for the Vear book.

Mobile homes stili bef ore council BY SHELLEY LOUCKS Negýative, reports came froiN Municipal Planning Consultanti,AMS. Jeain Monte- ith, concerning Rice Brothers Construction Co.'s proposed Mobile Retirement Park. Her arguments are based o n the lack of suitable access and isolation of the site, the lack of commercial and social ser- vi.ces, and thequality of the n4tu-ral environinent. Town officials will be visit- ing the site to investigate for theinselves but in the mean- tine, positive reactions are comiing froim developer Max Rice and lawyver e.r. lovekin. Il lias been the understand- ing of' most people including Ms. Mlonteith, that the de- velopinent will provide low cost housing, but MIr. Lovekin stresses that it is definately not low cost or low class. He describes .it more as having "Counitry' Club Atinosphere", Max Rice expressed his feelings that these mobile homnes are built mucli better than conventional houses and that metal is the most economical material to re- place. Town Planner, Gog Hlowden, seemns genuinely worried about the durability of the houses, and the planning committee fear the probleis witli these houses' whicli will be facing today's "1younger generation" twenty years from:now, ,ý The developer'ls assurance of total durajuility was quest- ioned by coifnrittée member, HIC. Muir. HIîe says if this is a, new thing, what 'proof do. ,you have that they are succes'sful, and wliat the elderly want? The only reply given was a referral to their present Sandy\ Cove opelration (Sim- coe Couinty), similar to, this proposai. Ms. MIonteith, opposing the project, points out that the location of the development wouldi back on to the CNR Mlainline Toronto-Montreai tracks which are heaviiy used. A doubtful appeal to the elderily residents. The retire- mient park .proposes to use the sewage treatment plant, now uinder construction, .85 miles froi the site. The Municipal Planning Consultant would prefer to see this taken over by thec region to insure high quality' service, thus leaving the Region with what she described as "a headache and unjustîfiable expense". In order for proper access to the developm-ent, the Pub- lic Side Rond known as Cobbledick Rd. will have to be upgraded, and an overpass built over the CN tracks. The access to the developinent is thie,"gr-eatest drawb)ack" ac- cording to MIs. Monteith. Considering that, which 1,00a uniits i the Park, there will bc at least 1,000 cars using the new road.

However, if an accident should occur at Hwy 2 and 35-115 interchange, access (o the cumxnunity would lie cut off. THe proposaIlias been ie' up with complications for almust a year now, and E.R.
