Another appropriate name for this hardy creeping rooted perennial is Creeping Sow Thistle. Its roots spread in every direction sending up new plants at every joint, Wind-borne seeds also do much to spread the weed over wide areas. Seeds have even been collected on windows of aircraft flying high above the earth. The yellow scourge is persistent after it gets a foothold. Its pres- ence is marked by showy yellow flowers two inches across. These appear in grain and cultivated crops, roadsides and other moist waste places at any time from June through September. Grasshoppers are fond of the plant but their efforts at eradica- tion in this part of the country have been meagre. Usually hard work and sweat and careful cul- tivation are required to control it. Persistent cultivation or black summerfallow are effective in re- ducing the infestations. The disk should not be used, however, as it cuts the root into "small sections, each .of which may send up a new plant. Cultivators and spring toothed harrows help in bringing the roots to the surface to dry out. Chemicals are effective in con- trolling top growth and seed rip- ening. One application of 2, 4-D at eight ounces actual acid per acre will usually accomplish this but several applications at 16 ounces of actual 2, 4 -ID acid per acre will be required to kill the roots. Small areas can be cleaned with sodium chlorate but this method is expensive and also has the effect of sterilizing the soil for some time afterwards. Traffic officers don't get all the law breakers. .Ambulances and hospitals get some ... as well as their victims. Kindergarten Classes Parents are requested to register all child- ren eligible to attend Kindergarten Classes, commencing September, 1953. Children will be admitted on basis of age until accommodation is filled. Register by letter not later than June 15, 1953.

Mr, Symonds explains that many Clinton subscribers, who are receiving the new directory by mail this week, will be tempted to retain the old one as an 'extra," Sot with 5783 new and changed listings in the new telephone book, keeping the old one can lead to plenty of embarrassment, annoy- ance :and lost time caused by call- ing wrong numbers. His advice is to throw away the old book as soon as the new directory arrives and to check private telephone numbers, lists against the new di- rectory and bring them up to date. This year's directory leas a buff cover to distinguish it from last year's green -bound edition. Be- sides Clinton, it lists subscribers in Stratford, Atwood, Goderich, TBvn.SAAY, MAY 28, 1,953 Listowel, Mitchell, St. Marys, Seaforth and surrounding territ- ,gin indication of the expansion in this area is seen in the increase in :number of directories to be .def livered. The initial mailing is 17,887 Copies, as Compared with. with 17,375 last year, To Clinton subscribers alone 1,700 copies are being mailed, as compared with 1,570 a Year ago. This tip- for speeding up long distance calls is offered. "When telephoning long distance, the sixbscriber should call by number so the local operator does not have to ask 'information' at the distant point for the number of the person called."
