But actually by the time summer arrives there is little necessity for any hard work if one plans wisely. With the warm weather the lawn should not be cut nearly as often nor as short and one can go easy on cultivating vegetable and flower gardens, too, provided ithhey were free of weeds and the soil well stirred by the end of June. One good cultivation in July, with possibly a little extra for the late sown vegetables should be sufficient. Summer, after all, is a time to easy and enjoy the bloom and fresh vegetables that have resulted from the good care we gave them in May and June. With shrubbery, fruit and other trees and many of the perennials, as a maitter of fact, summer is a time of maturity, of preparing for the dormant- period during the winter. These things will be hard- ier and better able to stand frost if their growth is not stimulated after July. That means little or no cultivation and perhaps a mulch of grass clippings, leaves-or straw _ to keep down weeds. But all of this does not mean that gardening should come to a complete stop in July. Even at that date in most parts of Canada it is still not too late to make third or fourth sowings of such vege- tables as beans, carrots, beets and lettuce. They will grow quickly in the summer and should be ready for the table towards the end of August and early September. SOAK, DON'T SPRINKLE--A lot of mistakes in using the hose are made by those unfamiliar with the likes and dislikes of grass and other plants. One thorough soak- ing of the lawn or garden that will take the moisture down a couple of inches is worth a dozen sprink- lings and it will last for some time. Sprinkling never gets the moisture down more than a fraction of .an inch and the roots must come up to the surface 'to get it, thus ex- posing themselves more and more 'to drying and killing by heat and sun. Heavy soaking, however, does not mean turning the nozzles on full blast. The nearer we get to a fine mist the better and as soon after watering \as possible it is aa- visable to cultivate a loose open top on the soil to block evapora- tion. KNOW WHERE THEY ARE -- Tools are much easier to find the next time if they are put back where they belong. Some garden- ers we all know literally leave trails behind them. If a phone call or lunch time interrupts 'the schedule, they drop rake, wheel- barrow or shovel right where they left off. The tools \are left to rust in rains. Or sometimes they are just too lazy at the end of the day to put things back where they be- long. Then the next Saturdey morning is lost while trying to find the missing tool or stake or ball of twine. If tools have their own hooks, they will hang there ready for the next use. =| SS) ™ Happy PLUMBER PLUMBING © HEATING ALL KINDS WE DO AT PRICES, THAT ARE FAIR To you !!! a TIMELY HINTS -- One is miss- ing a whole lot of fun and satis- faction by sticking to the same old varieties year after year. It-is an excellent idea to deliberately choose one absolutely new flower and at least one new vegetable each season. In this way, we broaden our knowledge and make many worthwhile discoveries. Window boxes and hanging pots need far more water than most people realize. This is especially true in warm, dry or windy weather when the evaporation is extra high. Watering daily is none too often then.

Orville Hughes Rotary President At a recent meeting of the Hail- eybury Rotary Club Orville Hughes was elected as president for the coming year. George Morissette was named as vice-president, C. F. Tuer, secre- tary, and Jack Leckie, treasurer. These officers will be installed at the first meeting in July. Summer plans for the park and beach are being left for the new executive. Following the business period, C. F. Tuer gave an interesting talk on his visit to Williamsburg, Vir- ginia. Mr. Tuer mentioned partic- ularly the reconstructed area, ap- proximately one half mile wide by one mile long, in which everything is shown as it was before the Am- erican Revolution. The ~ buildings depict the Capitol, the Governor's Palace, typical homes, taverns and shops. All the attendants were dressed in authentic costumes of that time. He also told of James- town near Williamsburg, where the first permanent settlers from Eur- ope made their homes in the Unit- ed States. They celebrated their 350th anniversary a few years ago, when two of their visitors were Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phil- lip. June 18, 1959 Area Bookmobile Ready for Fall Regional library co-operative service in Cochrane and Temis- kaming districts will begin in Sep- tember. A bookmobile is being built and will be ready for September. Some 4,000 books are on order. The head- quarters is in Kirkland Lake. The Regional Library Board and the Teck Township Library Board have entered into a contract where- by the Teck board will administer the daily affairs of the Regional library, but the Regional board will set policy and draw up and approve a budget. Mr. Sam Neill, librarian in 'Kirkland Lake, has been appointed secretary of the Re- gional board and will act as li- brarian for the Regional library. The co-operative services offer- ed will be as follows: for twenty- five dollars any school, library or other responsible group (such as the Women's Institute) in the two districts, can obtain a unit of seventy books. This unit of seventy will be changed four times a year. In practical figures it means a total of 280 books for twenty-five dollars. The organization thus would be paying less than ten Thursday, a gy The Haileyburian Page 9 purchase more than one unit, or less than a unit, for a proportion- ate price. The bookmobile, which can carry about 1,700 books, will operate on a schedule taking in participating groups and schools. This makes it possible to select the unit-person- ally from the shelves of the book- mobile.
