Page Bight * ~ Johnson ey _ (Souris Plaindealer) A very pretty wodding took place. in the Carroll United Church on Sat- urday, June 3rd, when Helen Irene, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs, A. R. Turner, and granddaughter of the late W. R: Ham,' was united in marriage to Edward Victor Johnson, a son of Mr. and Mrs, W. Johnson, of 183 Spence St., Winnipeg. Rev. N. S. Anderson of Carroll was the officiating clergy- man. - aml The church was beautifully decor- ated for the occasion with house plants and white and purple lilacs while an arch of white and purple lilacs stood out in front of the altar. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, to the strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding March, played by Mrs. H. Pettinger of Carroll. The bride was attended by Miss Helen Baggott of Winnipeg and the bride- groom was attended by the bride's brother, Mr. R. Turner. The bride wore an imported gown of beige lace with picture hat to match and carried a bouquet of roses and lily-of-the- valley. The bridesmaid wore a gown of flowered chiffon with hat to match and carried a bouquet rose and ear- nations. The bride's mother wore a gown of rose crepe and a corsage of American roses and the bridegroom's mother chose a gown of black lace and corsage bouquet of pink roses. Dur- ing the signing of the register, Mrs. D. Graham sang "I Love Thee". The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a ring set with sapphires and diamonds, to the bridesmaid and solo- ist, an engraved compact and to the best man a shirt and tie. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's par- ents, the table being centred with a beautiful wedding cake. The bride and groom received the best wishes of some fifty relatives and friends and a number of telegrams from near and far-were received. The bride and groom left by train for an extended trip to Montreal, Quebec, New York and Boston, returning by Toronto and the Great Lakes. Mr. and Mrs. John- son will reside at 114 Niagara Street, Winnipeg, on their return. Guests from a distance included Mr. and Mrs. A, H. Gibbard of Moose Jaw, Mr. and Mrs. R. Rowland, and Mr. and Mrs. B. Christie, Mr. and Mrs. D. Graham, Dr. and Mrs. Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. H. Addison, Mr. and Mrs, L. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Johnson, Mr. ad Mrs. Wm. Johnson, Mrs. A. Welply, Miss D. Welply and Mrs. R. G. Bailey, of Winnipeg, Miss Doris Foster, of Weyburn, Sask., Messrs. W. G. Johnson and J. McLean, of Regina, and Mrs. N. Johnson and Mr. A. An- derson of Winnipeg. (On their trip East Mr. and Mrs. Johnson called on their aunt Mrs. Wm. Real, of Port Perry.) , Practical Gardener (By special arrangements with the Arcadian Nurseries, Islington, Ont.) | ANNUALS Annuals may be planted until the end of June, and are invaluable to complete your colour schemes. By now you will no doubt find some vacant spots in your garden, where an odd perennial has been winter-killed, | or perhaps where some of your plants have not made the growth anticipated. These spaces may be made beautiful by filling in with a few of the more colorful annuals. We suggest that irregular grouping will give better results than formal planting. Be sure not to crowd them too much, allow plenty of space for cultivation. In large gardens where space is not at a premium, beds may be planted with one variety, the effect of which is very striking. For this purpose Rosy Morn Petunia is easily a first fav- ourite, its resy pink flowers are much in evidence from June until frost. Its companion Balcony Blue Petunia is another fine bedder, having dark pur- ple flowers and is somewhat larger. Then there is the good old-fashioned nasturium which for brilliancy of colour is hard to duplicate. If it is "possible to procure Nasturtium in separate colours, use only one color for 'bedding, preferably E of ~ India in rich crimson. By the way Alyssum Carpet of Snow, and little Dorritt Ageratum make fine plants for this purpose. There are other varieties of Lobelia that is trailing and tall varieties of Ageratum, and Alyssum, but only those mentioned should be used if very small plants are desired. - Most of the Annuals are not deep rooting and for this reason ijt is véty necessary to see that the ground is thoroughly cultivated, and watered when dry. Any good commerical fertilizer may be used to advantage, in which case follow the directions market on the container rigidly. It may be applied every two weeks. if you have any problems pertain- ing to gardening and would like ad- vice, write enclosing a stamped ad- dressed envelope 'and mention this paper to the. Arcadian Nurseries, of Islington, Ont. ee lee PASTEURIZATION MAY BE COMPULSORY FOR ALL ONT. Hamilton, June 9th. Compulsory pasteurization of milk in cities. and towns will be ordered by the Ontario authorities in the not far distant future, Hon. Dr. J. M. Robb, Minister «of Health, announced yesterday after- noon when he officially opened Hamil- ton's new filteration plant on the Beach Road. "We cannot proceed in advance of public opinion," added the Minister, after congratulating Hamiltonians on their public he#ilth program. , He said education was an important fac- tor in health work and he thought the cifizens of the Province realized the necessity for pasteurizing the milk supply. New Securities Act for Ontario New regulations have recently been introduced under the Ontario Se- curities Act. One of the most im- portant regulations has to do with the restrictions placed on house to house canvassing by security salesmen, ex- cept when selling government _or municipal bonds. The Investment Bankers' Associa- tion of Canada (Central District), after carefully considering these regulations, have heartily approved of their adoption and believe that if rigidly enforced they will go a long way toward protecting the investing public. The Association believe the time has come when a definite stand should be taken and a strong influence exerted in the movement against fraudulent securities and the manner in which they are foisted on the public. The way in which the inexperienced investing public have been induced during the past ten years to part with high grade bonds in exchange for se- curities of questionable value, should bring to the mind of every right think- ing citizen the realization that the regulations enacted by the Ontario Securities Commission are essential. Had this legislation been passed a number of years ago it would probably have saved the public millions of dol- lars. The Act is in the interests of the Province as a whole, and if given a fair trial and properly enforced it should go a long way toward stamp- ing out the "fly-by-night" and "high- pressure" salesmen. The activities of such salesmen must be curbed regard- less of whether they are working for their own account or for others. The Securities Act is good legislation and the Department responsible for its en- forcement is entitled to the support Bandy 'scodsmen arc Dorn. = nent. 4 double Nasturtium that is fragrant. FORETHOUGHT Trimming hedges requires years of forethought. One inch of growth left on all over the hedge each year is equivalent to two inches in width each! * year, with the result that in twenty- five years the hedge would be over four feet wide at the base. The hedge will be thicker and more easily con- trolled if it is cut back almost to the old wood each year. The end of June is a good time to trim. ROSE CULTURE The simplest method of increasing roses is by the layering method. Take a branch that may be bent down, re- move leaves and cover it with soil in the spring, or during early summer. Rooting will take place more readily if the branch is injured by cutting into the wood at the base of a bud under the soil. The climbers are very! easily increased in number by this method. It is well to top dress the lawn at this time with bone meal. Keep lawn properly cut and edges trimmed. The shrubs that bloom in spring and early summer should be pruned after flowering, this permits vigorous growth which flowers the following year. Thin out the old wood, keeping the plant in a good shape. Avoid tak- ing too much wood from any one part of the shrub, simply thin it out on all sides. Where shrubs are growing in dry soil it is wise to provide some form of ground cover, such as rotted leaves or straw. = A mulch is also advised for newly planted evergreens.
