Horticultural Society meet The first General Meeting for 1977 of the Brooklin Hor- ticultural Society, was held in the United Church Chris- tian Education Building,' Brooklin, at 8:00 p.m., Wed., January 26. President Margaret Davis introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. Peter Rice "of the Royal Botanical Gardeps in Hamilton. Dr. Rice was born and educated in Toronto and graduated from' the University of Toronto. He also received training in Botany and Plant Pathology and was a member of the staff of that University until 1968. He has been with the Royal Botanical Gardens since that time. Dr. Rice has been involved essentially in research of plant diseases and problems in woody plants and teaches a course at the University of Toronto and also Humber College on - ornamental plants, so was well qualified to speak on these subjects, but admits freely that he 'learns by : lecturing". - Naturally, his main topic of the evening was on the diseases of trees and formal plantings. This very know- ledgeable but modest young man incorporated his lecture with very vivid slides of what can and does happen to our trees and ..shrubs and was most recep- - tive to all questions. He ; concluded his lecture on the some beautiful slides of the Royal Botanical Gardens in full bloom, Margaret Davis then advised that our Member- ship Chairperson, Valerie Hundert had received several new applications for membership in the Society. She also informed the meet- ing that a Workshop is to be held in Uxbridge on Sat., February 19, on the subject of Administration for all Societies in District 5. John Jefferies then thank- 'ed the speaker for his inter- esting slides and inform- ative lecture. , Publicity Director a " Kinsmen grow pains Brooklin Kinsmen are ex- periencing growing pains.
