In 1982 the cost charged to frontages so oiled was 1 2/3¢. per ft. frontage and this will not be exceeded in 1933. In order to 'obtain this price at least as much frontage must be oiled as in 1932. H. C. NASMITH, Clerk. Care of Evergreens Evergreens should be planted in early Spring or after August and un- less handléd very carefully be "balled" i.e. a good adhesion of earth or "hall" around the roots. The reason for this is that most of the evergreens used in foundation planting are of slow growth. Hence if the root hairs which emanate from the root system proper are damaged or dried, the foliage be- comes dried also before the root sys- tem has had time to establish itself anew. The soil should be rich, having a large content of black leaf mould, Heavy clay soil is undesirable as is a light 'sandy soil. Situations where - hey. enjoy partial shade part of the fable, It sianting is to be east two-thirds of the number and the beneficial rains. that the rest the garden may enjoy from time to| -| time. Thus they suffer from drought which causes serious damage which is ¥ | often not apparent until the following 'year. Another erroneous idea is that evergreens being trees do"not require as much as other plants in the garden. | If during the dry hot summer months you decide that your garden is suffer- ing from drought and you will refresh it by artificial watering be sure to see 'that your evergreens are first relieved For those who are not familiar with | the varieties of evergreens to plant the following 'list may be helpful, erect growing varieties--Retinospera Squarosa and Filifera, Juniper, Suelca, Schotti, Argentena and Virginia Blue, Thuya Pyramidalis. Low spreading varieties are---Juniper Sabina, Pinus Mugho and Taxus Repandens. Koster's Blue Spruce is exceptionally fine planted ag lawn specimens. Goodwill Day © On May 18th of this year the 34th anniversary of the opening of the Peace Conference at The Hague will be commemorated. When this Peace Conférence was first held, great bene- fits were expected from it. The older people of to-day know that a great deal was done by The Hague Tribunal toward settling international disputes "by peaceful means. But it takes time to educate the world to new methods after centuries of war. And the issues which led to the Great War, 1914-1918, were too momentous for The Hague Tribunal, an institution of comparatively new growth, to settle quickly. It seemed that these early efforts of 1899 to 1914 for peace had been in vain. However, this Was not the case. For when peace terms were being discussed after November, 1918, it was realized at onge by the representatives of all the nations that the first step must be the organization of a permanent body, gimilar to The Hague Tribunal and recognized by all the nations, which would work toward disarmament and peace, This body became The League of Nations, which has accomplished much in the past fifteen years in the direction of the peaceful settlement of international difficulties, But in order that The League of Nations may go forward to greater accomplishments, it is important that all should understand and become in- terested in its work. For this reason I'am asking the Public and Separate Schools to participate in .the com- memoration of the anniversary of the Peace Conference of 1899 by setting aside May 18th, 1938, as Goodwill Day in the schools, and -arranging a special programme, for the afternoon at least, for the purpose of bringing to the attention of the children the characteristics of good citizenship, the need for goodwill and co-operation] among us as individuals and as na- tions, the continued and increased de- termination to do away with methods of force and to adopt the methods of conciliation, co-operation and arbitra- tion. GEO. 8. HENRY, Minister of Education. Apple Trees should be Sprayed Now!

Since the death of his mother, Mrs. D. L. Williams, Mr. Williams had been liv- ing alone and although he had been in poor health for a a long time his death came unexpected.
