Churchill thinks that a return to the kind of business that made Great Britain great is the answer to her problems. He may be right. However, there is so much emotional propaganda concerning both the socialist and the capitalist point..of view that it is hard to see the real core of the matter. : Certainly there are things about the so- called capitalist way of life that have work- ed satisfactorily . . . and just as certainly there are things about the socialist way of life that have worked too. will begin to under stahd our problems bet- ter and find better solutions for them when we stop thinking in terms of the propa- 'ganda of either one side or the other. It seems sensible that we should find out what our basic problems are . . . analyse them irrespective of our prejudices and seak solutions irrespective of our privileges Let's face the fact that most of the time when we are talking about problems we are 80 prone to think and feel the problems in terms of our own bias that the discussion degenerates to an argument in favour of this 'ism' or this way of life . . when ac- tually nothing more is involved than intel- ligent solution to a particular problem. It appears that in this respect Atlee has much clearer vision than Churchill . . . but that is not a condemnation of the Con- servative Party . . the chances are that should the Conservatives be elected .

We need to look farther afield than our own desk at the moment. Our eyes rest upon the maples just show- - ing a hint of the wealth of colour soon to appear and we feel an impulse of gladness. This, at least, we can be thankful for--for nowhere are there such wonderful days as the gold and blue days of October. Having felt thiSaiige of pleasure we can easily go on to be thankful for our free country. A country where we are free to pick our work, to spend our money as our judgment dictates -- oh yes, taxes seem high but we've got good roads, good schools, old age. pensions, hydro, fire protection--a truly good return for our investment, : It is true we have hints of this or that which seem hardly fair; but we have 'the means to change anything that is wrong. We can vote Johnny Jones out of office and put Richard Roe in his place. We also have many priveleges not found in most countries of this world. Even old England is hemmed in with restrictions in the hope of repairing her dwindling funds. So we will be very thankful for all our freedom and we will keep it by being inter- ested in our government, at all levels, then let us take up our. share of the respons- ibility of community life. In no better way can we show our appreciation of this great treasure--Freedom, L 0. D. E. At the first meeting of the season of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, on October, 1st, the mem- bers of Scugog Chapter spent some time planning work for the coming term; and found the appeal for post war work so strong it cannot be ig- nored--especially when we remember why Britain is on the strict rations she is on at the present time. The following excerpts 'are copied from a letter received - by Scugog Chapter from 1.0.D.E. Headquarters-- and I.0.D.E. Headquarters receive their information and requests from their own agents in England. 4 From the Women's Voluntary Ser- vices--""We find hundreds of depress- ing cases every week.

Dymond in the chair welcomed the guests and Lion members. Business and Club activities were discussed. The Lions are holding a Bingo in the High School on Friday, November 9th.

This teams will play in the Lakeshore Basketball Lea- gue competing against teams from Whitby, Oshawa, Port Hope, Lindsay and Peterboro. ' Schedule to be pub- lished later. The guest speaker for evening, Mr. Andy Anderson, Chemical Division of C.LL., was introduced by Lon Irv. He spoke on "The Family Garden and '| Its Care." ® Before giving his talk Mr. Anderson showed a short film entitled "A Letter from Rosemere". This is a small town (about the size of Port Perry) some twenty miles north of Montreal. The film depicted what organized effort of a community could do to rid the area of the mosquito pest. Mr. Andeson said that it may seem to us to be out of season to talk about gardens now, but this is just the time to do it, while our successes or failures of 1961 are fresh in our minds. ; The family garden provides whole- some relaxation for folk who are in- side most of the day and also cheaper food for the 'family table, In planning the garden remember that vegetables are sun lovers which do best with 6 hours or more sunshine a day. . Arrange that shrubs and trees are not too close to vegetables. In planning the garden on paper keep in mind that when. early crops cone' out some other vegetable can be put in its place, The size of the gar- den should be adjusted to your capa- y city for caring for it and to the family food needs. We are naturally interested in foods of high nutritional value and experts say that a well balanced garden con- tains (1) Leafy vegetables (2) "Root Crop Vegetables (3) Fruit and Pod Vegetables If the garden soil is well prepared a hoe, rake, fork, shovel and water can will suffice as tools. The soil is of prime importance as it is the source of '-ngurishment for plants, A goed "loam soil contains silt, sand and clay, with liberal amount of organic matter is the ideal. composed rock; (2) humus, Humus is decayed vegetables and LIONS. HEAR CLL MAN Nearly all soils are of two principal 'insect control. ingredients: (1) finely powdered de-' _ speaker for an interesting and helpful animal matter. It provdes the medium which changes soil from dead inert mass to active substance which re- leases necessary plant food;~ also it prevents forming of hard top crust and holds moisture during season, . Addition of humus, peat Mass, straw ete. , helps condition your soil. Plants wins have food. The most essential being --- nitrogen, for leaf and stem growth; P2 Ob--for strong root grow- the and cell formation; potash---af- fects quality of growth; calcium--to strengthen the stem; magnesium--for formation of chlorophyl. To. supply needed food commercial fertilizers can be used, said the speak- er. "Different plants require differ- ent amounts of food and it is well to consult your garden guide before ap- plication, as excess amounts tend to injure plants, If, after all preparaton, radishes are hollow, onions are full of worms, to- matoes blighted, what then? Insects in gardens are not new, and scientists come to help us with controls, Let us first look at aphids or plant lice. They are sucking insects, soft bodied, without wings. They injure plants by stunting growth, producing | honeydew for fungi to develop or act- ing as carrier of disease. Most aphids are easily controlled by nicotine 'sulphates. 1 to 1% teaspoons ' to a gallon of water will make satis- factory spray. The young wasp is a garden friend for aphid control. Colorado Potato Beetle winters in ground, to emerge as soon as potatoes are up, to lay eggs on leaves. These turn to red grubs who feed. upon the leaves. Calcium or lead arsenate will control the insect but best is 609% wet- able -D.D.T. spray or 8% D.D.T. dust. Treat both upper and lower side of leaf. The June Beetle is well known to most people; but do you know the white grub found in many gardens.is the June bug-to-be? Eggs are laid several inches below surface--in three or four weeks grubs develop and feed until fall--burrow downward to come up again in spring, still grubs, still hungry for roots. "They winter again and in third year come out as beetles. Lead arsenate is an effective control. Spray trees and shrubs--and broad- cast 10 Ibs, arsenate of lead to bushel of sand over 1000 square feet of lawn. In sod grubs are plentiful. Summer ploughing helps kill larvae and expose to birds. I'could go on for some time regard- ing wire worms, squash bugs, ete., etc. Remember you have the scientist on iyour- side, so use' his knowledge of Lion Sam.
