Women's Institute Holds Meeting Once again September has come around, the children are back in school and meetings of various clubs are back in full swing. However, I'm going to backtrack a bit as somehow I forgot to report May and June meetings. Our May meeting was informal and we spent a lovely social evening enjoying a delicious repast at the Ali Baba in Whitby. The June meeting was hosted by Bev Wotlen and the topic for the evening was nutrition. The speaker was Rita Galinauskas, Public Health Nutritionist and she gave an informative talk on shopping wisely, feeding the family and the values in foods. Now back to the present. Part of the September meeting was held at Courtice High School where Mr. Roache gave the members an introduction to computers. The talk was highly informative and each member was given an opportunity to write a short story of their life on a computer. Thank you to Mr. Roache for taking time from his busy schedule to give our members a little insight into computers and their uses. The members then returned to the home of Jane Pascoe where much discussion and planning was carried out for our annual Community Hallowe'en party. The party is to be held at Solina Community Hall on October 30th at7:00p.m. and is open to all members of Solina. Come in costume as prizes will be awarded. The children are to bring a carved and, or, decorated pumpkin and a prize will be awarded for the most original. A silver collection plate will be passed to help pay for expenses. There is also a rug hooking course coming up and if you are interested contact either Helen Wotten, 263-2512 or Cindy Ashton, 263-2066 prior to October 16th. This concluded the business part of our meeting and we The Victorian Order of Nurses, Durham Region Branch is holding the official Ceremonies of their new main office at 292 King St. West, Oshawa on Monday, October 29,1984 at 6:00 p.m. The Open House from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. will provide an opportunity for the public to view the new facility and meet VON Board and Staff members. The VON also celebrating its 70th year of service in the Durham Region, maintains the original philosophy that "the home is a good 'place to provide care because it allows people to be cared for in their familiar surroundings which adjourned to enjoy a delicious luncheon hosted by Jane Pascoe and Clare Werry. One little thought I'd like to leave with everyone, "one does not take time for community activities - one makes it." Thanks to all who volunteer their precious time to make our community a better place to live in. --Lorna Retela P.R.O. are conducive to recovery and rehabilitation." Last year, the VON Durham Region Branch provided a total of 40,598 nursing and related services throughout the communities of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Newcastle, Sçugog, Uxbridge and Brock. While maintaining the model of the home visit, the VON also strives to meet the growing health care needs of the communities in which it serves. More recent program developments being introduced by the Durham Region Branch are the Friendly/Visitor Family Support Program; the Enterostomal Therapy Program; a psychiatric nursing follow-up program and a model pilot program for senior citizens health care in high rise complexes. The Durham Region Branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses is supported by the Ajax/Pickering and the Whitby/Oshawa/Newcastle United Way Agencies. United Way monies enable the VON fee to be adjusted on a sliding scale in order that patients and families without a means to pay may still be provided nursing services.

Van Belle JjL On Gardening XB VAN BELLE PLANTS FOR INDOOR BEAUTY Everybody loves to have plants in the home, but not everybody is growing them successfully. Plants are like people, some like to be pampered, some like to be left alone, some like it hot, some like it cold, and this is where the success with plants comes in. You must find the right plant for the right conditions. Plants need light, humidity, warmth, and of course, a good soil to grow in. They like to be fed at regular intervals just the same as we like our breakfast on time and supper on the table at night. Everyone can have a so- called "GREEN THUMB" by choosingjthe right plants to fit the environment. There are two different types of plants that are used for home decorations, the flowering plants and the foliage plants. Flowering plants will require a fair amount of light, so their blooms can develop and give you a good showing. Most flowering plants have a certain life span for flowering, some lasting three to four weeks, and some for months, while others only last for two to three days, such as the flower on the Hibiscus plant, but will produce such an abundance of flowers when their time is right for blooming, that you will have blooms for Several months. During the time that the flowering plants are in bloom they require regular feeding! about once every two weeks to keep the blooms coming, with a regular plant food for flowers. In this category we have the Chrysanthemums, the Rieger Begonia, the Azalea, the Gloxinia and a wide range of smaller plants, such as the Kalanchoe, the African Violet, the Miniature Cyclamen and many more. Most flowering plants need to be watered properly and on time, for the flowers to stay strong and fresh. The foliage plants have such a large variety that they are impossible to list. Almost all the foliage plants have been brought in from Florida where they grown them all year round with their excellent winter temperature. In Florida, they start early to adapt the plants to the environment that they will have when they are brought over here. They shade them in a shade house, feed them heavily to keep them growing for several months while in transit and when they come into Canada. At this point, when they arrive here they are placed in a Canadian greenhouse for at least 60 days to again acclimatize the plants. This is often not done, and whole truckloads go straight into the larger chain stores and are sold right away. Of course this is where some of the problems come in when you buy a plant that has not been properly climatized. The plant will not do well in the home with it's low light conditions and eventually will die for lack of proper treatment through no fault of you. EVALUATE YOUR ENVIRONMENT As you know plants need four basic conditions which are: LIGHT, HUMIDITY, HEAT and YOURSELF, with yourself being the most important part of the four, since you are going to take care of them on a day to day basis. First evaluate the area where the plants are going to be placed, close to a window, close to the door where there will be drafts coming in, close to a heat register, or you may want to place them in an office that will only be open five days, and the plants will have to fend for themselves for two days. So think before you buy. The type of person you are will influence the purchase. Do you like flowering plants, do you like a small forest effect, or just some plants to make the home cozy? More on this topic next week. Until then, Happy Indoor Gardening.
