The nice guy wth a lot of money, living in a mansion and assuciating with the upper class. People thought he was su lucky, ex- cept one person: Paul Davis. At the age of 21 Paul had neyer felt or known love. Sometimes he wasn't sure whether hie was loved by his parents or whether they just spuiled him to look good. Mr. Davis was constantly trying to set Paul up with one of his rich friend's daughters. As far as Paul was concerned they were ail a bun.ch of snob- bish and dulI girls. t was An- drea that interested him the Most. She was three years younger and stillinii unîvecrsity training to become a teacher. Her personaiity comibined with her looks made her the miost beautiful girl he had ever known. Andrea' s shyness and intelligence along with her warmness made Paul faîl head over heals for ber. It is, too bad that Paul's Local Employment conditions The number of clients registered for work at the Canada Emtpluyment Centres in Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa for the montb of March totalled 12,550, con- sisting of 7,029 female and 5,521 maie clients.

At twenty-one, be stili didn't have the freedom a middle class kid has at eighteen. The biggest reasoni why Mr. and MVrs. Davis did flot lîke Andrea was because of the fact that she was not good enough for Paul. Explaining to bis parents that money did not mnean anytbing was a waste of time for Paul. They neyer listened. They' neyer had. Finally, Pauil and Andrea decided that since their love was so strong, they should get married. The only way te do that was to elope. And tbey did. When his parents found out tbey disowned himn. Had Paul and Andrea not left town, life for them would have been impossible. Now Paul had nu job, nu friends and no famnily. But he had Andrea.

Drugs and kidsý topic for Lung Association meeting For many 'years Durham Region Lung Association has been active in local schools, pôinting out the health bazards of cigarette smoking, and mure recently,, the dangers of habituai mari- juana use. The Community Services Branch of Durham Region Police is also heavily involved wîth drug problems in local schools,, having a teamn of eight, officers working year- round on its School Drug Abuse prugram. One of these officers, Con- stable John Logan, will be Ouest Speaker at the Lung Association's Annufal Meeting, Scbeduled to be held at the Oshawa Y.W.C.A. on Monday, May 3rd. at 8:30 P.M. the even- ing's topie "Drugs and Kids: Big Business in our Schools"I is expected te provide-some eye-upenrng facts on the local drug scene. Although recent studies in the U.S. indîcate a leveiling off in drug use axnong High School Students, the problemn remains evident acruss North Amerîca, and schools in Durham Region are nu excep- tion. Parental ignorance re- mains une of the greatest dif- ficulties, and Constable Logan's presentation will in- clude tips on the early recognition of drug abuse symptoms, and a demonstra- tion of the Community Ser- vices Branch Drug Kit. The Lung Association's Annual Meeting is open tu the public, and ail concerned parents are invited to attend. Well, it finaliy happened. We should be able to get on the garden. andian by this weekend. At the timec of writing, il looked real good dutside, but rain for tomnor- row. But it should be a warmy rain and then a warmning trend forthe weekend. This will be THE WEEKEND to. get the plantfood on the lawn, although thire weeks late but stili here. Trees and hedges should be fertilized now while the soi) is stili moist. For best resuits use a well balanced plant- food, that will feed themn over a long period of time. Cedar hedges should be fertilized with the'same fertilizer, and also will benefit with a good application of manure. Since they 'are a shallow rooted plant the more humus you can get into the sou su that they don't dry out will give them a sturdy growth throughout the year. If you have had problems with cedar hedges such as open spots, a lot of browning then give them three applications of CEDAR FEEDER, which is a liquid fertilizer which you dilute in water and then apply ditectly to the foliage. For the first application use the fer- tilizer and then with the se- cond and third application mix an insecticide such as DUTOX, which is a insec- ticide and miticude, and app- Iy the two of themn together through a sprayer or even use a watering can as long as you get it over the whole hedge. This type of application will feed the hedge bringing out- the green colour and also will illixuinate any insects that are in the hedge such, as red spider mites and even mos- quitoes. Cedar hedges can also be p runed at this time.of year especially if you have to lower the hedge by a large amýount. Even up to haif the top can be pruned off without damage to the hedge. Always remnemrber that plant growth is always the heaviest at the top, so that the bottom green should be left as long as possible and then severeiy prune in the top. Most hedges whether they are Cedar of privet or Alpine currant are pruned wrong, especially when you drive through the city and see them trimmed in the shape of a square box or trimmed sa that they are top heavy. As I mentioned before the most growth is aiways at the top, so it should be trimmed in the most. The easiest way to keep a hedge nice is te trim it into a pyramid shape with the but- tom twice as wide as the top, this 4ill alluw the sun and air to reach ail sides and will gîve full bottoms at ail timies. Most seeds can now be sown inside su, that they will be ready for spring planting such as tomnatoes, zinnias etc. If they start to stretch and se em to get top heavy pinch out the top su that they will bush out ,and produce nice full plants. Some people have had a lot of problemns with the seedlings falling over after they are up and are 4 to 5 inches high. This is called Damping-off. This is a fun"gus which attacks the stem right at thec soiT level,and is caused by overwrvater!ing or by using a soil that is flot sterilized. Thie best way to control thiS lfungus is to apply and fung-ic-ide such as Damp- off whichi wiIl coun.teract this disease. Until Next Week, Happy Gardening.
