The Concerts The program included two main solo sections for Alto Solo, one consisting of spirituals, done with conviction, joy, sadness and skill, by this down to earth lady with the golden voice. The second solo section started and finished, with two touching songs, in which the 120 voice choir joined in. The organ accompaniment was of special quality and imagination. The choir and brass did several big choruses from Oratorio as well as several well-known tunes with enthusiastic audience participation. Then there were several numbers for alto solo and choir among which was the highlight of the evening namely "The Holy City" for choir, soloist, brass and organ, skillfully arranged by Leendert Kooij, and brought with such conviction, Reintata Heemskerk in action. tenderness and power, that it stirred Christian emotion to such an extent, that the audience erupted even before the final bars were completed.

Special Support It is with great thankfulness, that we note the special support, of all who came, as well as that of the many business people, who V an Belle on Gardening Indoor Pests and Diseases What's wrong with my plant? This is a much asked question. As I mentioned in my last article, most of the problem lies with you . . . you are the person who waters it, and the problem likely will be in the way you water. This is not always the case, insects and diseases can come into your house. You often wonder how this is possible. It is easy. When you bring in the plants from the garden, do you spray them with an insecticide before bringing them into the house? Most people don't, and then the problem starts. Another way that insects and diseases can come into your house is by plants that you buy, and that have not been treated before they are brought into the store for resale. When visiting friends, you could rub against plants with your clothes, and pick up insects that way, bringing them into your own home. One thing for sure, if you have problems in the house with plants treat them as fast as you can, so that they don't spread from plant to plant. Some of the most common insects in the home are : Listen to "the sounds of a different drummer" 24 hours a day CFMX-FM 103.1 or plug Into il« Kxmd of a diffciax dmnvner on »Uc In hxt HojK/Cobouig at 100.9 MJU November 8,9,10.

It's about 1/8 of an inch long, and as the name implies its color is white and vou can see them with your bare eye, especially when you shake the plant, you will see them flying out. Usually when leaves start turning yellow and dropping off, you have got white fly. You can spray with a dilution of Malathion or with Diazonon, or use the new insecticidal soap that is on the market today. But don't put it off, do it now. You may have to repeat the application of an insecticide after 8 to 10 days to completely get rid of them. Mealy Bugs. As the name applies they are mealy looking insects, just like cotton, their color is white, and most of the time you will find them on the bottom of the leaves, or in the joints where the leaf joins the stem. They don't move around, just stick to the plant stem. They live by sucking the sap from the plants, and the damage will show the same as the White Fly, leaves turning yellow and dropping off. They are hard to kill, their cotton type covering will not let a spray material penetrate through. The only sure cure is to take a Q-tip and dip it into rubbing alcohol and touching the Mealy bug. Watch for the next few days to see that more have not matured, since the numerous eggs are almost invisible.

The most commonly Known mite is the Red Spider Mite, but Mites come in many different colors, but since they are so small you will not be able to tell the color anyway. Since you can't see them with the naked eye, you should watch for grayish webs that they spin in the hollow of the leaf, or hold them up to the light. Another way of spotting them is to hold a piece of white paper under the plant and shake the plant, and the small flecks of dust that are moving around will be spider mites. You can spot spider mites when the leaves turn a grayish green, or yellow green with an overall mottled look. Most indoor insecticides will control this pest, but will have to be repeated 2 to 3 times, since they are so tiny, you will probably miss some of them. Another good way is to take the plant outside and wash them off with the garden hose. Another, way is to completely submerse the plant in the bathtub for at least 5 minutes. Aphids. One of the most common pests in the garden and in the homd. Most are green and can be killed easily by spraying them with Malathion, Rote-non or any indoor plant insecticide. Until next week, happy indoor gardening. VAN BELLE The 82nd Convention of Central Ontario Women's Institutes was held at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, October 30 and 31,1984. Area President Mrs. M.
