A check with the Department of Transport office in Toronto ro- zarding air regulations brought the information to light that their jurisdiction did not include military aircraft. lt was suggested that the RCAF be contacted at Downsview.

He said further that there were no Sabre jets base ed at Downsvicw Airport. Perhaps the airforee is convinced that this was a "flying saucer hoax."

Weston Residents 40 Years Celebrate 50th Anniversary Br Gordon Lindsay Smith No matter how small the garden there will be the problem of paths. Instead of being an eyesore, these can be made into an attractive feature of the lawn or flower plots or even the vegetable patch. Where traffic is usually concentrated such as near the door or a gate, it No Matter 1ltm Small The Garden Paths Can Make It Attractive traffic is usually concentrated such as near the door or a gate, it is advisable to use some solid mtv terial like flagstones, concrete slabs, bricks, cinder or gravel. With any of these the main thing is to place firmly and level with or. just slightly above the sur- rounding grass, so that the lawn mower will trim or even run right over easily. Where the traffic is lighter, one can simply use grass for the strip of well grown, well fed and tough grass. It is surpris- ing the amount of wear this will give. In lots of public gardens grass paths are used to divide the flower plots and they are seldom worn thin. Where cinder or gravel is used in paths or driveways one can eliminate grnss and weeds by sprinkling heavily with rock salt or treating with some of the weed sprays. When the builder of the new house says he's finished, the gard- ener is just ready to begin. He shouldnn'l be discouraged at the‘ rough grading, the litter of plaster the bricks that the bulldozer has' barely covered. One can hardly believe what can be accomplished in the. first year. Of course we can't grow trees, shrubs and peren- nial vines overnight. But it is amazing what one can do with an- nuals alone. The best plan is to get in narly whatever nursery stock and perennial flowers are :available and financially possible. Then in between these use all sorts of annuals which will soon look as if they had always been there. There are. bir, bushy things like cosmos. dahlias, cannas. caster oil and spider plants, ornamental sun- flowers nr helianthus, African marigolds and giant larkspur that can be used in the place of flower- ing shrubbery. Then there are quick - growing climbing plants, scarlet runner beans, morning glories, climbing nasturtiums sweet peas, hops and such for covering trellis or fence.

Use sprays when the foliage is dry. With the dust, best results are obtained on a day without wind and just after a rain or before a dew. With all chemicals one is well advised to study and follow din-ea tions carefuly and make sure that the proper material is used for the particular pest concerned.

Main reason for the incvease.uf the general rate from 53.2 mills to 56.2 mills this year, Mr. Hall said, was the payments required on a cost of living agreement with mu- nicipal employees. The council criticized the board of education for: dropping the cost of living bonus from the salaries of the secondary school teachers while retaining it tor public school teachers. 8 Mill Increase The public school budget was in- creased 4.6 mills this year and the secondary school budget A mills. The total education budget was set at 56.7 mills. List year it was 51.7 mills. I Councillor Walter Saunders, a former chairman of the York Township Board of Education, said he considered that the board had created 21 bad feeling between pub- lie school and secondary tschool teachers over the withdrawal of the cost-of-living bonus for one group. The council debated returning the education budget to the board for revision, but decided against, it iri view of the time involved before the rate could be set. The library rate was kept the same as last year, 1.8 mills. Two trunk siewerts, one costing $55,000 and the other $60,000, win he installed.
