Plus this there are the flags and almost every building has its own decora- tions. Although Fleet Street is not on the parade route a remark able number have walked to view it. Canada House Canada House from where T will be watching the Coronation pro- cession is completely enclosed in scaffolding on two sides. The top gallery where the press is located will• command a splendid view. We will see the going and the returning. We will spend the entire day gettings meals and everything there. However, this is not free. Seats are 6£ and meals 2£. While I spent a few minutes a- waiting a seat which the High Commissioner had authorized af- ter receipt of a cable from the On- tario Division CWNA Manager Werden Leavens, I heard several replies to phone enquiries, "Sorry, there is not another seat avail- able." Mr. Moody's secretary said when I turned in the bleacher seat ordered from Canada, "There will be a scramble for that," Seats at 6 a.m. Instructions say to be in the building at 6 a.m. in order to be sure to get through the crowds. The night of the Coronation pro- mises to be one night of fun—New Orleans with the Mardi Gras will be tame to this. They are promis- ing among other things a fire- works display the like of which has never been seen before. I won- der if this takes in the Canadian National Exhibition which is a• top notcher for fireworks. All business in London closed down last Friday night and will not open until Wednesday. Most of them not only closed but barri- caded their windows. The crowds have included all types of crooks and confidence men, pick -pockets, and thieves. Scotland Yard I wandered into Scotland Yard on a walk this afternoon and talk- ed to an officer there. He said they already had over a hundred characters locked up. Today, he said, there had been more than 300 ambulance calls. Speaking of Scotland Yard, I heard the following conversation on the street. A photographer who takes pictures and passes out a card saying where the picture may be obtained handed one to a, chap ahead of me. "Got my picture 'ave you?" the fellow inquired. "Well, Scotland Yard 'as two, a real good 'un, profile as well. Want toeget a profile of me, too?" 13y this time the photographer 'ould think of no good answers so dodged through the laughing crowd. Although pubs are open Sunday afternoon I never saw anyone who even appeared slightly to have been drinking and a glance in the door of any pub showed they were doing a real trade. Tonight more of London's own citizens have come down to see the show. Streets are jammed and big double deck buses which pass along the route are loaded. De- corations and crowds are all that can be seen. The next letter will be of the parade to and from Westminster Abbey. Be with you next week unless Scotland Yard mistakes me for one of those fast -working crooks they are watching for.

The profusion of flowers was beautiful and showed an im- mense lot of work in arranging them. At the morning service, Rev. W. J. Maines, Brucefield, was guest speaker and delivered an impres- sive message. The Sunday School superintendent, Charles Scott, was in charge for both services. C. M. Robertson, Goderich, led in the responsive reading, Colin Fingland, Wingham, offered pray- er. A junior choir of 25 voices with Mrs. R. D.

Mr. Bramwell also dedicated two trees which were planted on the church lawn on Coronation Day. Knox Church Re -decorated Sunday was a day of rejoicing for the members of Knox Presby- terian Church as they re-entered the sanctuary of their lovely church following a period of re- dedication The work of re -decor - Field Bindweed Can Poison Swine In addition to choking out crops, Field Bindweed has, ie. a few cases, caused poisoning to swine which fed on the roots and root- stocks, according to the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Brancn of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture. While under ordinary cir- cumstances .this situation is not likely to arise, the fact that ani- mals can be harmed should focus more attention on this import from Europe. First noted on this continent about 1739, over 200 years ago, it was aptly named Field Bindweed, Cow Bind, or Creeping Jenny. The twining, choking plant is to be found' under all conditions. Unless checked it rapidly spreads over an area smothering crop plants. Spreading by .seeds and creep- ing roots, it climbs over whatever plants it contacts to rob them of light and air. Blooms of white to pinkish flowers resembling the morning glory appear from June throughout the remainder of the season. These ripen to seeds which lie in the soil for years before germinating to continue an in- festation. Eradication of an in- festation is difficult. The best control method is to keep Bind- weed seed from getting into the ground. Use clean seed. CheniicaIs or summer fallow will clean up small area. Nearly 100 per cent control has been obtained by re- peated applications of 2, 4-D at the rate of one pound actual acid per acre. The few remaining plants must be killed by cultiva- tion. ' Larger areas have been success- fully eradicated by heavy cultiva- tion where tillage is carried out every twelve days for two growing seasons. The frequency of culti- vation is important as all green leaves must be chopped off so they are not able to feed the plant roots. Regardless of what method is used, persistence is necessary for complete eradication. ews of L�iid�sboro Mr. and Mrs. 'Moines Reid; Toe ronto, are holidaying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Allen.
