Mrs. Lorne Wilson con- ducted a contest. Lunch was serv- ed lay Group 1, Good Seeds' For Good Lawns Green grass and spring come al- most simultaneously in Canada for the simple reason that grass is a cool weather loving plant and thrives best when it is not too hot or too dry. Just as soon as the mud dries is the proper time to get lawn work under way, whether 'it is starting a. brand new lawn or • patching up: the cild-atie. " Too much stress cannot be laid on the necessity for purchasing a good seed mixture from a reliable Canadian source. The difference in test between the cheapest seed for an average size lawn and good quality lawn grass mixture will on- ly be a few dollars at most, but the difference in appearance and especially fromthe first year on will be enormous. Good lawn seed is made up of a mixture of several grasses, many of them expensive. Different kinds are used so that something will be green , all the ' time during the growing season. One kind grows best in the very early spring, then - matures; another grows later on, and so on. Thus with a properly balanced mixture the lawn should be smooth and fresh all summer long and not look like a hayfield which is green for a little while and then turns brown and coarse. De- tailed seeding directions will be found on• the ever of the seed box ,and should be followed care- . fully. • Making 'Tiny Seeds , Bigger Many seeds are so tiny that they are difficult to handle, let alone to sow individually. Alyssum, petun- ia and poppy seeds are some ex- amples among the flowers, and radish, spinach and the various beets, among the vegetables. Be- cause the individual seeds were so small or came in clusters as with beets, commercial growers shad to sow more thickly than theliked and later had to spend much time and money on hand thinning. To get round this, some seeds were pelleted, that is each individual seed was wrapped with a bit of en- ' riched earth and made into a nice firm little ball. Loaded with these pellets a machine planter could space out every seed any desired distance And thus there was great saving in thinning. Now pelleting has heen extended to other tiny vegetable and flower ---seeds though expert t are some- what doubtful of its extra cost so .•..far as the amateur is concerned.

'Then we are :absolutely sure of what we are getting .when we place our garden orders. Don't wait too long about order- ing seed, especially of the new in- troductions. The 'stock of these new introductions is limited the first year or so until enough seed can be harvested to meet demands. As soon as your decisions have been made as to color and quan- tity, mail the orders;.• Don't Mike It a Chore For some reason or other, there are a few people who seem to think that gardeningis hard work. Probably they have watched a neighbor tossing earth about, or down on his knees spudding out dandelions. But that is all wrong. Gardening is one of the few hob- bies or recreations that one can take just as easily as one pleases. If you want to exercise you can have it. If you want to coast you can do so. The main thing is to have your flower beds or vege- table rows just, as long or as short as suits your disposition and the time at your disposal. Further- more, once things have got nicely started in the spring, beyond a little exercise for the power mow- er? there is not much to do ex- cept sit in a lawn chair and enjoy the view and the fresh, crisp vege- tables growing 'right at the door. People who regard or make gar- dening a chore are missing some- thing really worth while. • Clerk: "How can I stop women customers from talking about the lbw prices in the good old days?" Floorwalker: -"Act surprised and tell them you didn't think they were old enough to, remember them." Don't try' to keep up with the Joneses. Just take it easy for awhile, and in a few years _you'll meet them coming back.

(National arna 1011035 Observes entennial of Founding The members of LOL 1035, Var- na, this winter celebrated their one hundredth anniversary. Decem- ber 17, 1859, a charter was granted, to the Varna lodge, with William „McClymont as the first Worshipful Master. , • Some of the charter officers and members were Thomas Simpson, Joseph Caldwell, John Walker, John McClymont, Jame S Foote, James McFarlane, John Redmond, John Foster, Thomas Cook, John Turner, Henry' Hudson, John Den - can, Alex McClymont, Charles Foster, Thomas Wiley, William McKearn. The lodge first met in a room over the .hotel, and later in the Royal Templars' hall, which was across from the present school. Later this building was moved to the back street and remained there until 1952, when it was moved to •its present location, and refinished inside and out. The lodge grew steadily from the start. Six or seven new members were initiated at each meeting. ,An early custom, which is still carried out each year on the morn- ing of the' 12th, is a parade of members, beaded by the band, through the village before leaving for the point of celebration. In the early - days before cars came into use, the lodge met at 4 or 5 o'clock on the morning of the 12th and then drove • to Brucefield to take the 8 o'clock train to the cele- bration—If the celebration was in a nearby town, they drove with horses and wagon. The lodge always has been noted for its many services and benevo- lent acts. The minutes record 2$- istance to members who were sick, and sometimes to a family for fun- eral expenses. One member broke his leg and the members cut his winter's supply of wood. Some of the members enlisted in both World Wars, and one made the supreme sacrifice. They were also active in Red CrOss and other patriotic enterprises. At the present time they operate the skating rink in the United Church shed for the children of the community. In 1880 the officers were Albert Robinson, John Pollock, Charles Foster, William' Rathwell, John Stewart, John Sparrow, David Rob- inson, 'James McClymont, John Turner. Discipline was very strict in the early days, and members who could not give a reason for their absence at the meetings were fined 25 cents. Officers for 1896 were Charles Foster, George Beat- ty, Rev. W. Leech, John T. Reid, Albert Robinson, James Campbell, John Johnston, Frank Weeks, Thos. Elliott and -•John Rathwell. In 1951 the lodge sponsored the glorious 12th of July celebration. in Bayfield, one of the best ever held in that village. Another old custom which is still carried on is the annual supper'on the 5th of November for the mem- bers and their families. It started as an oyster supper, and later was changed to a fowl or turkey sup- per. A social evening was held on the exact birthday, Dec. 17, 1959, in the hall, and another one on March 31, 1960, when a ,program of ad- dresses and music was presented. The main address was givezi by the Grand Master of Ontario West, William Latford, of Sarnia: Sev- eral of the grand lodge and county officers and the Rev, T. J. IV.tt, Varna, spoke briefly. Musical - numbers were given by Albert Craig, Orrin Dowson and George Dowson. Lunch was served at the close by the members of the lodge. The names of the Worshipful Masters during the Test 100 years are William- McClymont, Thomas Simpson, John Robinson, John Tor- rance, Albert Redmond, John John- ston, William -Rathwell, Charles Foster, George.
