Bev's Floral Creations "BLESSED EVENT" During our first week of ownership change we purchased a "singing" canary named Fred, but alas as the weeks went by, Fred only chirped. Undaunted, we treated this dilemma with the same "do or die" attitude we afford all our customers when assisting them, whether it be a small peace i/ y ij offering or a lavish wedding. We purchased yet another V \ ,r "singing" canary, guaranteed by its previous owner to r sing a "hind leg off a donkey". ! ' Joe, as we named him, did manage a high "C" or two when he had settled in, but has created a second dilemma. Fred has turned out to be Freda. Joe's attentions turned more to wooing than warbling, and now they are too busy preparing a nest to even think about singing. They have quickly become the centre of attraction in the store. I do believe some of our customers are picking up their flowers just to watch Freda (alias Fred) hard at work . . . why don't you? At the same time make use of the visit by filling in our "Confidential Reminder List" and receive your free rose. Who knows, this could be Bowmanville's Bicentennial Blessed Event of the Year, and when the day arrives and we have 1,2 or 3 squawking chicks, then Joe will have something to sing about and we will probably throw an Open Flouse Party: ■' ;: .M:.. > ' Kif and Derek Bev's Floral Creations 162 King St. E. 623-3377 Bowmanville "FREDA' The Legion Ladies Auxiliary added $5,000 to the Legion coffers last week when Auxiliary President President Mary Blunt presented this cheque to Legion President Bill Rose.
