WOODS, WATER, AND WILDLIFE by Ron Reid - Federation of Ontario Naturalists By almost any standard, you would have to call the rhinoceros an evolutionary success. For 20 million years or more, it has roamed the grassy plains of Africa in virtually virtually the same form. While Easter Plants by VanBelle EASTER PLANTS This year is no exception, that Easter sort of harold's the spring, and when you think in terms of spring you think in terms of flowers, and then of course you have to have some flowers to spruce up the home for the Easter season. This year an excellent selection selection of spring flowers are available. In the cut flowers there are the spring flowers, tulips, daffodils, freesia's, Iris and many other spring flowers that will grace the Easter table, or the living room for everyone to enjoy. Easter lillies are in good supply and are of excellent quality. They require a medium light condition, not in the direct full sun. Watering Watering should be done sparingly, about once every three days. One of the nicest things about the Easter lily is that you can plant them outside when the danger of frost is over. " Just let the top turn brown, and then plant them 6 inches below the surface of the soil, and they will bloom once more in the late summer, summer, and will stay in the soil for years to come. Another plant that is very popular at Easter time is the Hydrangea. This is an indoor variety, which has huge flowers on stems that are 24 inches high and will bloom for several weeks. This plant requires a fair amount of water so don't let it dry out. Check the moisture in the soil every day and then water if the soil feels dry to the touch. Another very popular plant, is actually a combina- Church Services \ SAINT PRANCIS OF ASSISI CHURCH Rev. Thomas D.

This arrangement arrangement should be watered about once every three days, and should be checked for moisture before watering. The nicest part of these plants is that you separate them when you get tired of the arrangement arrangement and then you will have several nice plants to place around the house. Azalea's are also very popular at this time of the , year. They come mainly in two different colours, the red's and the pink's, and also a few white's are available. This plant must have lots of moisture since they are grown in peatmoss and once dried out it is very hard to bring the plant back to life because the branches are woody and do not soak up the water that easily. The best thing is to dunk the pot with soil into a pail of water once a week. This will give the soil enough water to keep it going. This plant can also be planted outside outside in the summer. It prefers a slight shady location, but should have well drained soil. Then in the fall you can bring it back into the house where it will bloom again during the winter. Of course one of the nicest plants to have in the home are the pots of daffodils, hyacinth's and tulip's. This will surely remind you spring is on the way. After flowering you can plant them outside, and they must be planted at least 6 inches below the soil, for them to survive the next winter, but are well worth the effort. Until next week,' happy gardening.

Over 100,000 of the primitive beasts plodded plodded across the East African plains. Since the Middle East oil boom of 1973, all that has changed. In just eight years, 90% of the worlci's rhinos have been slaughtered by poachers. And unless the killing killing can be stopped, soon the only place to see a rhino will be in the protected confines of a few zoos. The threat to the rhino lies in its horn, a curving mass of matted hair and gelatin which normally would provide protection. protection. For centuries, there has been a market for rhino 'horns for traditional Asian medicines and love potions, even though their actual value is worthléss. But when oil brought prosperity to the * Middle East, another market mushroomed. In the oil-rich country of Yemen, a traditional traditional dagger worn by young men suddenly became available to more than just a few wealthy aristocrats. The handle of that dagger is made of rhino horn. As a result, the demand for horn more than doubled, and the price skyrocketed. An African native who might earn $50 per month can now obtain $500 for the horn of a single rhino. Last year, over 2500 rhinos were killed, reducing still further the odds for survival of the species. In a few places such as the Luangwa Valley in Zambia, a few brave men patrol vast areas on foot to try to curb the poaching. But their task is impossible unless the interna^ tional trade in rhino horn can be stopped. Through the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Endangered Species, conservationists conservationists are trying to dry up the market for rhino horn, and thereby reduce the incentive incentive for poachers. Yemen has recently taken the first steps to make importation of rhino horns illegal, but whether the trade can be stopped in time to prevent the extinction of the world's oldest mammal remains to be seen.
