Two COLBORNE CHRONICLE - Thursday, September 23, 1965 Week-end in Rothesay I spent a memorable thirty-six hours in this tranqu'lle little town that used to be the summering place for wealthy families residing in nearby Saint John, New Brunswick. To-day their holiday homes have been winterized and are, for the most part, permanent residences. Painted a pristine white or stained in woodsy colours of brown or gray which iblend into the background of lofty pines or graceful elms the architecture of most is a pleasant mixture of early and late Victorian influence. On the banks of the Ken-nebecasis River, the railroad services the town. Though a modern CN railiner speeds Its way toward the port city from Moncton, in tunc with modern times, old timers in the village remember when the station was the gathering place for many holidayers. The red train, pulling numerous cars, used to have a pay-load of passengers and freight. The latter included milk eggs, garden and farm produce, domestic needs, crated hens and bellowing cattle. These were despatched at every village along the way. Nearby the station, is a rambling old structure called "Kennedy House". Now boarded up, it was formerly a stopping place for travelers and a happy playground for summer revellers. Cultivate Culture If the original conceptio Rothesay as merely a summer resort has changed over the years, the appreciation of its citizens for things cultural has not diminished in any respect. It is here that one of Canada's foremost summer theatre groups has been ( ncouraged to perform. Made possible by the generosity of a group of citizens the little theatre known as Rothesay Playhouse has steadily built a reputation for itself. The building that houses B & B Productions had a history of decay and abandonment. It was once a movie theatre, then became the scene of many auctions and its lobby was once a hardware store. Besides theatrical productions, it is here that pictures, painted Iby New Brunswick artists, are hung for the pleasure of its patrons. Many of them are for sale which provides the artists with a very appropriate market place. Against the soft green background of the lobby walls are hung pastels of the stars of the company. These are the creations of Mary Carson, who has a natural talent that is amazing in its reflected likeness of her subjects and exciting in originality. Mrs. Carson is a resident of Rothesay. Affectionately n i c k n a med "Binks" by her parents a name that is not too familiar to her her Maritime friends but one which will be remembered by fellow WRENS who served in the last war, she is a woman of stature -- hoth physically and in the expression of her art. Mrs. Carson has had little professional instruction. Her gift of portrayal is a natural "instinct. Most amazing are the fresh tones she obtains and the drama of the eyes of the subjects in her pictures. Her ability to mould features on the surface of a flat piece of paper appears almost three dimensional. She creates the feeling of a living person and one f<5r-, gets for the moment that it is only a picture that is being viewed. MILK MARKETING BOARDS SETTING UP COUNTY COMMITTEES The first major policy step announced by the new Ontario Milk Marketing Board is designed to ensure solid contacts between the Board and producers on the concessions, according to Board Chairman George R. McLaughlin. Addressing the Semi-annual Meeting of the Ontario Concentrated Milk Producers in Toronto recently, Mr. McLaughlin detailed steps being taken toward the formation of County Milk Producer Committees in all parts of the province. These committees, which will be fully representative of all milk producers in the county, will be elected annually at a general meeting of all county producers. The executive of-cers of the committee will provide a direct contact between local producers and the Milk Marketing Board.

The present field service staff of various producer groups will provide the personnel needed for such an undertaking. The field service staff will be available to assist County Committees in planning programs to meet producer needs, as well as aiding directly in on-the-farm trouble shooting regarding milk quality, marketing problems and similar matters. Each County Committee will be eligible to receive an annual financial grant from the Marketing Board, on the basis of the program needs of the Committee for special local projects. CAVEMAN COOKING Nobody really knows how or when primitive man first discovered that the addition of a little yeast turned his grain and water into a delicious loaf of bread, but it is probable that he attributed the whole process to magic. For a long time he must have unhappily consumed quantities of flat hard, unleavened dough. Then one day, perhaps some dough was left over and not baked. Wild yest cells from the air settled on it and started multiplying, causing fermentation and tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide gas which made the dough rise. When baked, the bubbly dough turned into a loaf of bread, better than anything -our ancestors had ever tasted. From then on, they probably let the dough stand and hoped for the magic to happen again. Eventually, by holding over small portioi-s of successful dough to mix with later batches, they could make well risen loaves every time. Fortunately, the modern housewife dors not have to perform magic rites over her dough, nor does she have to save little pieces for later use. A small packet of veast purchased at the local store will give her successful results and enable her to make better bread than her forbears ever dreamed of. And what, of all the culinary arts, is more satisfying than making a delicious batch of golden crusted loaves? Today's recipe is for a tasty Whole Wheat Bran Loaf. Bran flakes and dark molasses give this loaf its unusual flavniir and whole wheat flour makes it especially nutritious.

Plant Evergreens Now Not i any ; it t plant burlanped, untie the sacking and roll it back an inch or so. Do not remove it entirely. This material will soon decay in the soil and the roots will grow through it. Plants transplanted from a nearby nursery need not be burlapped, but as much soil as possible should remain on the roots. Put plenty of paper in your car trunk and take all the soil you can. Doubtless you can use it anyway. Once the plants have been set in the hole, fill in around the roots with two parts of good top soil mixed with one of peat moss or good humus then pack the soil down well. When it is a third filled, pour water into the hole and let soak down. Then finish off the filling-in In such a manner that there is a slight depression around the stem of the evergreen. Tread the soil in very firmly as you fill in the hole; then water once More than $765 million is spent in Canada each year by General Motors for goods, services wages and taxes.

This led to the belief that the correct and only time to plant evergreens was in the spring. Nowadays most evergreens sold in this country are propagated and grown in Canada. At the Plant Research Institute we have found that from the end of August to the end of Septem ber is the very best time to plant evergreens. Evergreens give off a certain amount of water from their leaves throughout the entire winter. When winds are high they give off more than the normal amount. If the ground is frozen the roots are unabie to absorb moisture from th i soil, so if strong winds continue the needles will become so drj> that they turn brown and die.

In the early falL, too, you can get good, freshly dug plants that can be moved with less shock than those sei! out in spring during warm dry weather. Holes for planting evergreens should be large enough to accommodate the ball of soil that comes with them and have at least a foot of space around rhis ball for necking and tread, ing in the soil. Fork up the bottom of the hole and add plenty of well-rotted leaves or moistened neat moss. Set the plant in the hole so that it is not more 21YRS OLD?
