Branton Terry Nixon 1-416-655-4069 MEDLAND & SON 6 Campbell Street, 665-3261 Brooklin ON THE 20 kg bag O PURUNA DOG CHOW' A$1 1.25 4 When the Brooklin Horti- cultural Society decided to use "Springsong" as the theme for their first flower show of the year, it was an almost guaranteed success. However, in spite of the fact that about forty people attended, the Daffodils did not co-operate and there were only thirty-six entries, but what was lacking in quantity was made up for in quality. In the absence of John Jefferies, Ken Brown chaired the meeting and Carolyn Stevens was acting secretary. She welcomed guests and a new member from Oshawa. Following this, Margaret Beath gave her report on the District 5 Annual Meeting, held at the Civic Garden Centre, Toronto on April 21 and attended by three delegates from Brooklin. Fun with Flora, a game created by Ken Brown, followed and this never fails to add some hilarity to these occasions. The highlight of the even- ing was speaker Ray Halward from the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton. He showed slides of trees and shrubs which can be grown successfully in the Brooklin area. His run- ning commentarv on these M rt b.J"J slides will certainly prove beneficial to all those pre- sent and it was evident that in spite of his modest mien, he is a very knowledgeable person . on the subject of horticulture. Margaret Beath thanked the speaker. Judges for the flower show were Gib and Doris Marlow and they did a fine job of what must have been a.diffi- cult task. Best Specimen prize donated by Oshawa Garden Centre, was won by Alice Dodd and the award for best indoor plant, donated by Whitby Mall Florist went to Audrey Young. The next meeting will be held on May 23 and the Horticultural Society ex- tends an invitation to the general public for an evening of fun and knowledge. $10,000 fire at factory A sprinkler system hooked into the Whitby Fire Hall activated an alarm at the ITT Cannon Electric plant April 30 at 6:27 a.m. Fire department officials said a fire broke out in the electroplating chemical room due to overheating, and caused an estimated $8,000 to $10,000 damage. LA CONTESSA BEAUTY LOUNGE 119 Green Street 668-9262 9 WE'RE COMMITTED! Ross Batten (centre), President of the Brooklin and District Kinsmen Club, presented Recrëation Director Wayne DeVeau with a letter of committment last week for the installation of polyethelene sheeting on the boards of the Brooklin Arena. The letter indicates the Kinsmen Club's intention to provide $12,000 toward the $16,000 cost of installing the sheeting and armorplate glass around the arena's ice surface. At right is Don Vipond, a past-president of the Brooklin and District Kinsmen Club, who was instrumental in arranging the project for the club. The three officials are standing in front of a penalty box door which has not yet been covered, which provides a considerable contrast to the covered boards beside Mr. DeVeau. The project should be completed by this week. Absent from this picture is Project Chairman John Thiebaud. Free Press Photo New housing co-op gets federal funds The Honourable Norm Cafik, M.P. for Ontario Riding, is pleased to announce, on behalf of the Honourable Andre Ouellet, Minister responsible for Central Housing groups have had their loans approved to assist them in development proposals for acquiring housing units for moderate and low income families. One of the six projects receiving C.M.H.C. support is a 40 unit six-storey apart- ment building in Whitby to be developed for co-op tenure by Colborne Housing Co-operative. When com- pleted it will increase the number of that town's co-op houses by 50 per cent to 120. The C.M.H.C. funds are being released under the 'start-up' program designed to help such groups finance the professional develop- ment of their housing propo- sals. In 1978, C.M.H.C.'s Oshawa Office committed almost $34,000 under the program to local non-profit and co-operative housing groups.
