Durham Singers, a Dur- ham College extension ciass in choral singing under the direction of Mrs. Jean Piercy, will present a special pro- gram in the College lecture theatre at 8 p.m. The pregram is laid eut in, erder te trace the develop- ment of choral music - which is ani important part- of the course. There is somne emphasis on church musi, because as Mrs. Pec states, "choral m-rusic began in the church an(- ew,ýes mnuch te the love and dedication of church musicians ever the centuries- Mari,, writers of secular music owe their musical education te church erganists and cemposers." The Durham College course in choral music has net been confined te learning music for performance. At the express wish of the students, mnuch time has been spent on vocal technique. "We have aise deveted timne te some basics in learning music, such as time values and intervals. The productien ef this pro- gram is, mereiy a happy by-product of our year's study", states Mrs. Piercy. The program, includes Mot- et by Obrcht, Willaert, di Lasso, Gibbons, Madrigals by Dowand, Morley, Jones Ben- net and Thiman-, a group of French songs, Part songs by Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaug- han Williams and Samuel songs.

Aise included in the pregram wili be two short groups of piano solos, played by Jean Piercy. Admission te the pregram is $3.00te be paid at the door the night of the performance. Ummmmmm mmmmumm mmam OXFOR Bricklaye-Stoemasns M IeOOOTRO Poe8-6r You tee can start growing a garden and reap the rewards, that millions of people enjoy around the world. Start small and then expand, try a 15' x 20' garden plot in the back of your property. First take pencil and paper and lay eut tire plot on paper , then mnake a list of fruits and vegetabies you and your family would enjoy growing, then plan where each variety of veget- able wouid be best planted in your garden plot. Don't ge hog wild on buying seeds, .and find eut that you need twice the space than what yeu have, and have te add on te the area. Certain fruits and vegetables are better if they are started indoors and then planted outside, such as tematees, peppers, cucum- bers, ee. ; they can be seeded in the heuse in flats and then transplanted after the danger.' of frost is ever, or you can buy them at your local garden centre. My suggestion for a 15' x 20' garden plot would be te plant about 6 te 8 tomnate plants, pianted 3 feet apart in the first row, then one row each of raddish, beets, car- rets, turnips, and two rows of beans and peas. By plantîng or seeding these 1 foot apart, you will stili have reom te p lant 8 more rows of veget- ables such as caulîflower, cabbage, lettuce, peppers, onions, cucumnbers, brussel- sprouts and maybe semething completely different such as kale, dandelien or celery. It is best te loosen up the soil by spading the whoee area ever, and applying a balanced plant food, such as 5-10-15 or a 8-8-8 which is te be worked right VAIN nMLL to perform- May 8th mm rv Jr 31.3ltSEJîIt into the soi!, appiy this at the rate of 10Olbs. per 1000 sq. feet.

PLANT 0F THE WEEK FUSHIA The Fushia is an old fashioned plant, which has suddeniy beceme very pop-. ular again. They can be kept indoors as long as they have enough light, such as an east window; they can aiso be used eutside, hanging from the roof of the house or fromi balcony's, but keep in mimd that they require sorme pro- tection from very strong winds and heavy direct sun, since the branches are very brittie. You must water daily and sometimes as mruch as twice a day, since the branches and leaves are very succulent and require a heavy soaking; once every 3 days submerse the whole pot in a pail of water, te let it soak up compietely. Feed once a week with a weii baianced fertil- izer. QUESTION 0F THE WEEK This one cornes from Mr. A.J. on Strike Ave., in Bowmianville. Which is the best way te get rid of weeds in my lawn? There are two ways; first you can spray the iawn with a combinatien ef 2 4 D and Mecropop which will almost get ail the weeds such as dandilion, creeping weeds such as creeping charlie and many more.
