k New CADICAM course now offered at Durham Durham College has received approval from the Ministry of Colleges and Lniversities to offer a new Comnputer Aided Designi and Computer Aided Manufac- turing techniques course. The College will be using its recently acquired Computer- vision CAD/Cam equjipmnerit which hias been expanded include six work stations. The new CAD/CAM course will be of eight weeks duration, and would be directed at primarily two groups of trainees. The first category would comprise employees of companies that are presently comtemplating the introduction of CAD/CAM methods to im- prove productivity. The se- cond group would be those individuals who are out of work, but have the necessary techaical expertise to benefit from the course. They would, of necessity, have an engineering background in mechanical design, design drafting, or some similar ex- perience. As well as being used for the new CAD/CAMI training program, Durham's Comn- putervision equipment has added significance because of a planned CV Developmient Centre at the College. Coma- putervision has a number of development centres throughout North America for the refining, improve- ment, modification and debugging of niew CAD/CAM software. Durham has tentatively been selected as a centre for ad- vanced Software Develop- ment related to Flow and Solidif ication Characteristics of Plastic in a Mould. With the large nuinber of plastic moulding companies in this reigon, including automotive manufacturing, this new software develop- ment has important implica- tions for local firms. Those companies or. in- dividuals interested in this specialized CAD/CAM train- ing course, or who wish to further have information about Computervision ap- plication in the- plastic mnoulding field, should direct their enquiries to the Durham College Technology Division, at 576-0210, extension 264, or write to the Technology Divi- sion, Durham College, Box 385, Oshawa, L1H 7L7. Gardening.. Variety in the garden 1$ the Spice of Life How true this is, especially in the spring when the bulbs that are planted -now poke their heads throuagh the soil. First the small bulbs such as the Crocus, Scilla's, Eranthus and Gallanthus and then on to the Hyacinths with their distinct fragrance. This is followed by the early bloom- ing Tulips and Daffodils, and then later on for a massive show of the brilliant coloured Darwin Tulips., Pla nning is half the battle and is double the fun. First of al find out where you need a good splash of colour and what colour will blend in the best or give you a striking contrast. Select the bulbs for height as well as colour. Then, Plan to plant the shorter ones at the front and taller ones at the back- so they won't be hidden. Then plan the col- our scheme. Practically ail, the bulbs sold come from Holland, with a few fromf Ireland and Japan. The bulbs this year wvill be slightly lower priced than last year since the currency exchange is in our favour. The crop this year is slîghtly lower in the top sîze bulbs since the weather has been too hot this year and they did not rirm up as well as other years. When buying bulbs you should buy only top size bulbs so that you will get good results for sevýeral years. Tulips are gracied into several different sizes withi the size called top size being the best. Daffodils are graded into what is called single j noses or double nose which means that the double nose will likely have at least, two to 1 three flowers on one bulb, The minor or smaller bulbs are graded into 'three dif- ferent sizes, and a re mi'easured for size so that the top size of, a crocus bulb is 10 to Il cm. Most bulbs can be planted during the month of Sept. Oct. and November, although one year we had a lot of Tulips left over and we planted them the week before Christmas and then covered themn with a layer of peatmoss and they camne through the winter in tip top condition with an excellent show the following spring. 1 feel the best time to plant is starting now with the small bulbs go- ing in, first, to get them established before the heavy frost starts and then onto the Hyacinth. Then the Daffodils and then the Tulips. So the planting will be done as the bulbs, flowers, the early flowering ones go in first and then the later flowering ones can be left to the last. The soil where the bulbs are to be planted should be a regular garden soil neyer in a dlay soil, s0 that the water can drain through easily and no water will stand on top, otherwise you will get a lot of rot in the bulbs. It's easier to dîg out the area where the bulbs are to be planted especially, where you are go- ing to plant a group of 10 or more bulbs. Then loosen up the soil at the bottom and place the bulbs with the right side up s0 that you can form a nice pattern for the bulbs. It is wise to set the bulbs in firmuly so that the soil will not disturb themn when filling in. Next week more on planting bulbs. Until Next Week Happy Gardening.
