Clarke Muséum Corner Our donations have certainly certainly varied in size this year. On the one hand - or really twenty hands - since it took ten. Kinsmen to bring it iipstairs, there was the square grand piano given to us by Mrs. Ethelda Williamson Williamson at Easter. It makes à definitely solid focal point for our "parlour" display; there are many visitors for whom- it brings back memories of similarly massive family pianos. On the other hand - or rather a pair of very talented ones - there are the three hand-embroidered eyelet collars, collars, the beaded cloth bracelet bracelet and the delicate pincush- ; ion cover knitted in fine thread in a "fuchsia" pattern. These all belonged to Mrs. Durham Holstein Show Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 22nd, 1976-9 and Reserve Champion fem- prize three-yèar-old, Gladi- Nelson Bowqn (nee Mary Munro), and were possibly made by her in the 1840's. The quality of the eyelet, its complexity and fineness of detail, makes you wondër at the poor relation types produced produced commercially today. This fine collection was brought to us through Mr. William Davidson, who is compiling a history of the Bowan family, from Mrs. Velma Olds of California, who decided these should remain in the Newcastle area where they originated. You can imagine our delight delight and pride in accepting both these donations. Museum Hours: Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri., 2 - 5; Thurs, evenings 6 - 8:30 ; Sun. 1-5.

As a general rule, the earlier the bulk flowers the sooner it should go into the ground. This means that fall-flowering fall-flowering crocuses and colchieums should be in the ground now. Next, plant doffodils, hyacinths hyacinths and small bulbs such as crocus, eranthis, glory-of-the- snow, squills and so on. Large-flowered, late tulips tend to make top-growth in fall if weather remains mild and they are planted early, so hold off planting them until the middle of next month when most deciduous trees and perennial divisions can be set out. Continue to plant (or move) evergreens. Plant grass seed to thicken, repair or create a lawn. It is also the best time of the year to establish new sod.
