PAGE 5 Kiwanis Club president attends big convention on hand and'they utilized nature's bounty to the full. The Indians and many people today plant during certain phases of the moon. The results are exceptional. Due to lack of space nothing more can be added heie but it is all documented and available to anyone who is willing to search for it. Why not? We all know that the moon has a tremendous force which effects the seas and people. For many and most likely al poisioness plants there is an antidote growing close by. Did you know that by planting certain vegetables by other vegetables you can prevent grubs and such from spoiling or destroying your crop? Certain plants repel insects', mosquitoes hate marigolds and pnay stay away if you plant them near your patio. Mint oil or sprigs of mint around doorways will repel flues and fleas. Put some mint near or on your dog's bed. A pillow stuffed with winter savoury can be put in a pet's bed and the fleas will leave. Make a strong tea of chamomile flowers and let it stand until cold. Sponge the exposed parts of your body and insects will give you a wide birth. A piece of sponge dipped in spirits of camphor and hung in a room disposes of all mosquitoes. All of these ideas and many more are documented and know to many people who are.close to nature. They will open up a whole. new world for you and maybe a more healthful one. Many healing and healthful plants can be grown in your garden and moved into the house for the winter months. Much information can be found in books either at your library or in a book store. Enjoy your garden as a living breathing thing. It will respond to you as you do to it. Growing things love and thrive on music; various plants respond to different types of sound. During the winter I have plants which turn to sound sometimes rather than light! Your garden can give you untold joy from a pleasureful and healthful point of view.

ABOUT FLOWERS AND THINGS Do you ever sit in your garden on a warm summer evening and mârvel at the wonders"Il around you? The magie and mystery of colour, scent and texture to be looked at, touched and enjoyed. The healing powers of many plants are boundless. iomeopathy is a study in it's self. The Homeopath maintains and has proven that "like cures like" and that nature cures by minute doses. The advantage here is that Homeopathie remedies are "powerful to heal but powerless to harm." "Our Royal Family have always had a homeopath doctor nd there are such hospitals in other parts of the world. Ours in Montreal has long since gone given away to the newer concepts of medicine.. Have you ever seen old pictures of our North American Indians resting with their backs against a tree or sitting at the base say of a tall pine? Many trees give off energy especially the white pine and can revitalize tired or sick people to a degree. I add to a degree so that no one will rush out and expect an instant reaction!
