Dae Htonà Mr. Dave Hinton, goe of rhododendrons and azaleas on a num ber of acres at his hiome on the Taunton Road, north and east from Orono, was the guest speaker at the Orono Horticulture meeting on Thursday evening of last week. Mr. Hinton told his au- dience that rhododendrons are native to mountains and foothilis with over 900 varieties from small shrubs to large bushes and even larger tropical trees. Rhododen- drons flower from one to two weeks but must have protec- tion from the sun, have suitable soil composition and be protected from the wind. The guest speaker does grow a great number of rhododendrons on his own property and states hie does not have to specialize in any form of winter protection. Last year the membership of the Orono Horticultural Society visited his rhododen- dron gardens which is rnost impressive. Rhododendrons bloom in the spring. Mr. Hinton on Thursday last made great use of col- oured slides for his presenta- ,tion. Wednesday, MaTch-21, 1984-17 Broadbent predlcUing A ugust elect'ion Looking in his crystal ball, Ed.

The presen- I awake early, (that is early for me) about 6:30 a.m., but recently 1 was awakened by a s trange sound - the birds were singing, (actually it was a heck of a row in my opinion) but nonetheless it signalled the fact that spring was in the air -- that wonderful ex- uberant feeling of freedom, joy, and yes, relief -- the long cold nights, the scraping of windshields in the half light of morning, the interminable digging of snow to clear driveways, was almost over. The birds -are singing again and I feel like joining them. I have suddenly realiz- ed that the hedges, that 1 haven't seen for almost four months, are coming into view again, the Christmas floodlights on my neighbours lawn are visible once more (was Christmas that long ago?), the unknown cat that used to chase the birds around my feeder is back on the prowl (must do something about that), Old Bill next door has stopped wearing his woollen hat -- a sure sign of spring-.and_ even young Jackie who delivers my paper every morning (and she's neyer missed a day) can now walk up the driveway instead of ploughing through snodWdrifts up to her knees, she deserves a medal. It is even reasonably safe to collect my mail from the Post Office without risking life and limb. .....the rumble of the snow plough is becomîng less frequent and their con- tinuous beep, beep, beep, less obvious ... thank heavens. 1 can now take my daily walks without my contact lens freezing to miy eyeballs and without mny nether regions doing ikewise.
