Do you reniemvîber whemî the camnival camn1e I)to yur to'.vr as a kid and yotm waited withi an ticipationi as thcy zassenibled thc nîidway amnd rides. Whcmîi you're Just a kid i t seemus like forever belore they finally get the ridhes ready to go and themi the only problemîi is wvbere to humi sonime nonev to find omt if the-rides are really as thrilling as people dlaiml. The Coumîty Town Camnival isn't rnuctli different froin the faims that ised to sprimig up ail over the coumntry in thie sunîniier. The County Town Carnival appears to be well establislied amnd lere to stay. Last year's carnival yiehded a lot of pleasaitnt iiîories. 1 cani emeniber going into the building thiat tscd to be the Whitby Dairy Bar amnd wondering just what the Maltese community was up to. t1 vas pheasanthy surpmised by the friendly people who wecomed you like a faily niember and the food was absohutehy delicious. For less tban a quarter I got a piece of cake thatalmost staggered me. In fact, just having the cake sitting there on the table in front of me I could sec the calories jumping off and heading straight for my mid-section. There cornes a tirne when you have to say to beck with watching what you eat and camnival time in Wbitby is definitehy one of those times. Barbecues and pancake breakfasts and the Malta Pavilion are only some of the gastronomical delights and if this year is hîke hast year l'Il stuff myself with aIl the goodies and regret t later. Last yeam I vowed I wouldn't eat so much eacb year but then t say that evemy yeam and eacb successive year there's even more to tempt me. Candy floss on the midway, beer by the draught, bot popcorn, cakes & sweets, it's too much! I vividty remember the Firemen's pajamma dance and parade last year. One guest came dressed as Geraldine and I tbink ic made a better Geraldine than Flip Wilson ever managed. Tbe dance was a huge success and I hope tbe Firemnen do as well this year because they cctainly put a lot of effort into the dance and parade. Amîd, of course, the big question is wbat wilh the nîayom wear this year~? My biggest probhem ast year was trying to get to ahI the functions that were happemning. There wcre just too many to manage to sec ail at once. One of niy favourîtes was the log sawing contest. Last yeam Gerry Brear said bie wanted to team up withi George Sullivan but George said bie was retiring wliîle lie was on top. Thien Gerry decid- cd maybe bis beart was too old for that nonsense. It sounded like a cop-out to me and l'Il be carefully watching thîs year to sec if these two champ sawers are back in action. They do so wehl that h reahhy think they should take il up full tirne and head up nortb to the forests. They could work the areas thiat aren't easîhy accesible and they could pobably work just as fast as anybody with a chain saw. If you sec Gerry or George ask themn if they're going in the log sawing tlîis yeam and if tbey start to offer excuses just tell them the Free Press is watclîing. The Lions train about Town was very popular hast year and it's great to sit on that train and be driven around town by somebody cIsc for a change. It's quite suprising how mucb you get to sec of youm own town whcmî somebody else is doing the driving. Another attraction 1 enjoyed immcnstey last yeam was 'Joy '73' with the Switzem brothers who are local boys. The Switzer brothers are really geat! l'm not particularhy religiomîs but t sure found mothing overzealous about 'Joy'73' and I would rcommemîd it to anybody who enjoys good musie and simging. Actually I can recommend thie whole dammi County Town Camnival as tbe bcst entetainmen t in Ontario. Sec you there! Tiîpsf from O.S.L.

Wlieni a veliicle is tr-avelling over ain nneven surface, tîires spcnd part of' the Hlouse Plant Care by John Bradshaw The five basic considerations in bouse plant care are outlined in John Bradshaw's Lawn and Garden Guide. The basic consîderations- for biouse plants are light, temperature, water. air and feeding. and hiere is how Mr. Bradshaw describes bouse plant care in the guide. " Ligh t: Ah bhouse plants require lighit. Most need direct sunlight. How cati you tell if there is insufficient lighit? The leaves will stop growing, turn yellow and finally die. The older and more mature leaves are affected first." "Temperature is another problem. Except for tropical plants such as African violets, rubber plants, philodendrons and others, the temperature in our modern homes is much too high. Most house plants tbrive at 60 to 70 degrees. Many house plants become worn out and sleepy under these conditions." "Continuous temperatures over 70 degrees make nost house plants very leggy, with much less resistance to pests and diseases. Flowers are usually poor." "Water: Incorrect watering causes more house plant troubles than any other factor." "You can simplify watering considemably by applying a given amount to each pot at regular intervals. In the home, evaporation is just about the same year round, so once the ight amount is detemmined, it's easy to repeat." "In unglazed clay pots (the common florist pot), use the following amounts as a trial: thîe inch diameter, four oz.; four inch diameter, six oz.; flive inch diamneter, 10 oz.; six inch diameter, one pint." "Plants grown in glazed pots without a drainage bote in the bottom will only need about hiaîf as mucb vater as recommended above." "After applying the water, some should run out the drainage hiole. 1 have always round il a good plan to knock the plant out of the pot the first two times you water in this manner. This is easily donc by carefully holding it upside down and tapping the rini of the pot on the table. By doing this you are able to check at frst hand the con- dition of the soil. If it's flot wetted through, increase the amounit of water used. You'll soon sec whiether you need to incre6asc or decrease the frequency of watering." "Air. Plants need fresh air even during the rniddle of wintem. The best way is to open the window from the top a few inches. Make sure tbere's no danger of plants being in a direct draft. tIn the wintcr tine it's best to air during the middle of the day. Regular syringing of aIl plant sur- faces to remiove dust and grime will lielp plants breathe." "Feeding. With above factors in hand, liouse plants will benefit from gentle, regular feeding. Use one level tea- spoon per quart of tepid water every two weeks according to thc following table; Indirect ligit and foliage plants-4Green Elf Houise Plant Food" Direct sunlight and orchiids - 'Plant Treat' *Heavy flowering plants - 'Geranium Food'."

Water skiing is a spectacular and enjoyable watem sport and cornparatively safé if 'basic rules of operation and Canadian laws are observed. The Ontario Safety Lecagtme rcnitds skiers that it is mandatory to have two peuple in the towboat, oneto drive the boat and concemtrate on tbe course ahead and the other to watch the skier and pass on instructions to the operator. It is the responsibility of the boat operator to avoid shaîl- ows, shorelines and other water traffie that would endanger the skier or the boat. Dangerous operation is an offense under Canadian law amnd involves obstructing the movement of other boats in swimming areas. Skiers have no special priviteges and must observe ait the rules of the road and rights of way on the wa te r. It is unhiwful to water ski from one hour after sunset to sunrise and during the boum after sunset navigation lights must be sbowing on the towboat. Maximum penalty for offenses is $500.00. Operation of pleasure boats in Canadian waters is reg- ulated by the federal governiment of Canada. In addition to accepted rules of the road and rights of way afloat, the Ontario Safety League mentions laws from tbe Criînal Code that deal with boating offenses: Dangerous operation of a boat, water skis or any towed object. Operating a pleasure boat when ability is impaired by alcohol or drugs. Failuire to stop at the scene of an accident in wbich your boat bas been involved. Charges can be laid against a reckless or dangerous oper- ator by "laying an information", a pocedure wbich requîmes making a sworn statememit before a Magistrate or Justice of tbe Peace. Penalties may be assesséd up to $500. for offenses within tbe Crimînal Code.
