While we did not exceed previous years as regards membership, the enthusiasm displayed was of the highest order. The spring campaign, which as in the year 1921, consisted mainly of a three days' whirlwind 'campaign, brought results which were far in excess of the most optimistic calculations. A membership of 1,210 was secured in the three days, which was supplemented by later sub- scriptions to a total membership of 1,425. Representatives to Annual Flower Show in Toronto, Feb. 1 and f?..-- Messrs. J. M. Pearen, Seymore, Purs- glove, Callander and Elliott, Mrs. W. M. Mackay, Mrs. G. M. Lyons, and Miss E. Savage. Listening to his address, one could not fail to grasp the advantages of town planning and as remarked in the vote of thanks tendered to the speaker, a repitition of this talk with further details at a later date would be both beneficial and helpful. Following are the list of officers for the years-Hon. Pres., Mrs. G. M. Lyons; Pres., Rev. W. M. Mackay; 1st Vice Pres., Robt. Wright; 2nd Vice Pres., Miss E. Y. Savage; Directors, Messrs. Callander, Pollett, Dr. Gunn, Seymour, Pursglove and Elliott, Mrs. Wilby and Miss Fraser; Auditors, Messrs. A. J. Barker and w. Martin. Town Planting as the work implies, is only "Community Foresight," a gathering together of the town's assets and mapping out a line of campaign before undertaking to improve, cor1- struct or in any way improve condi- tions. The idea dated away back three hundred years before Christ, when a town was built for the Wokers on the ancient Pyramids. A century ago this develops into a science and in 1866 Italy passed a law for the expropria- tion of land if necessary for national improvements. Chicago World's Fair, with its wonderful grouping of build- ings, was but another example of this fact, and in 1909 the passing of a bill for Housing and Sanitation in Great Britain was another step in this di- rection. 'Proper town planting as said before is taking stock of resources and in this a careful analysis is wise. On this question the speaker gave some very startling figures as to the debt per capita carried by many towns,) Weston included. One of the essen- tials of town plannings and benefits de- rived therefrom is the setting aside of factory sites, business location and re- sidental sections, so as not to build a home which in a few years will be sur- rounded by factories, warehouses, and the habitants annoyed by the constant friction of machinery and noise of shunting engines. The last are meSSerl- tial if a town is to grow and provide employment for her population, but they need not interfere with the home life. T Tuesday evening several members of the executive and friends of the 'Weston Horticultural Society braved the zero atmosphere and attended the annual meeting held in the town hall. If the attendance was smaller than usual, the enthusiasm was certainly not lacking, and every item of busi- ness was carried through rapidly, al- though no item was considered of minor importance and slighted. The President for the past year, Rev. w. M. Mackay, occupied the chair and af- ter the reading of the minutes of the previous year spoke on the work, giv- ing a brief resume of the three de- partments. Firstly the Show Com- mittee, under the supervision of Mr. Pollett. In this good work had been accomplished, especially in the window shows of the past seasons, these hav- ing brought forward many new exhib- l itors and thus increased the interest;; also the annual Fall Show had been a decided success. Then the Civic Im-l provement workers, under the able direction of Messrs. Wright, Callan-l der and Pollett had also done great work, one of the special achievements being the reclaiming of the old un- sightly dump at the river entrance to the town being changed from a refuse heap to a beauty spot in harmony with nature's handiwork of the Hum- ber and winding banks. Here in the spring would blossom forth a vertible garden of Eden, with its plantation of tulips, daffodils, etc. The third item was the juvenile section. Here pro- gress was being made from year to year. Greater interest by the child- (ren meant iocreased knowledge along ‘vegetation lines. In this line super- lvision Was needed because of the edu-. lcational value and in order for the 1work to be dope in a manner to give lasting results to those taking it up. ‘For the coming year prospects were such as warrant a further broadening out. Thanks to Mr. Jno. Harris, one of the directors, land had been donut- ed at the south end of the town for another community graden, also through their local agent, Mr. Priteh- ard, the C.P.R. had granted the use of the land at the C.P.R. Station to the Horticultural Society. In all prob- ability this would be utilized as a flower garden, making another beauty spot in the centre of the town. In looking forward Mr. Mackay also ask-. ed for eo-operation of all societies and people interested in the welfare of the town and thus avoid any overlapping or unnecessary expenditure of money in municipal improvements. He also referred to the general planting of trees and the interest taken by Mayor Flynn and his colleagues in the work, the town council having donated $100 to the society. Following the election of officers, which with the sect'etary's and treasurer's report will follow this article, an address was given on "Town Planting" by Mr. Seymour, also a di- rector of the society.

The president has given you a de- tailed resume of the work of the var- ious departments of the society, and I can assure you that every member of the board is doing his part to make LL- _‘_3Ai,, - _ Our Annual Fall Show heWon Aug. 24 and 25 was a record success, and the number of exhibitors exceeded all previous years. The number of err. tries was 352. The prizes given amounted to $166.30. We have been fortunate in having such a hard working president, who, although a busy man, always found time to attend to any business in con- nection with the society. ( By studying these lists carefully you can readily see that there is a ten- dency to obtain permanent or semi- permanent shrubs or trees. In view of this demand, we intend placing a large order for shrubs and with a well known nursery, and members or in- tending members can place their orders at once or any time during the next two or three months. One of the biggest features of the soeiety's work during the past year has been the success of the window flower displays, of which six were held during the summer months. The success of these shows was largely due to the efforts of Mr. Pollett and Mr. Callan- der, who supervised the work, and also to the exhibitors who encouraged them by sending in such a variety of lovely flowers, etc. Take advantage of this offer, and save 20% on your purchase -(8) Option 9 Begbnnias . . . . . . . 60 (9) Option8Carinas.......... 42 (10) Option 11 Baby Rambler Roses.......;........... 37 _ (11) Option 6 Fall Bulbs ...... 31 '(1.2) Option 1 Donations for trees forblvds................. 31 (13) Option 15 Sweet Peas . . . . . . 26 (14) Option 3 Donations to Churches................ 25 (15) Option 2 Donations to Schools................. 1 While vouchers for personal pur- chases direct were issued to the value of 8169, and we are unable to ascer- tain the class of goods bought through this option.
