New Green Will Freshen Dry Spots If water limitations leave a lawn burned and bleached, harmless dyes can be sprayed over it to restore the green colour and an appearance of vigorous growing turf. R. H. Turley of the Canada Department of Agriculture's Experimental Farm at Sannich- ton, B.C., sprayed 750 square feet of lawn with one quart of dye mixed in n quarts of wat- er. The results were satisfac- tory so far as improving the appearance of the discoloured turf went and subsequently, with the return of favourable conditions, the grass resumed normal growth, The new dyes are no' sub- stitute for good lawn Manage- ment but merely give a green colour to grass when water is not available to keep it natur- ally fresh looking.

LIVE BETTER ELECTRICALLY Page 4----Clinton News-Recerdt-ThursdaY, Sept. 1, 1960 McGregor Clinton and District Obituaries LONDON, England - This isn't a story about our NATO forces. Ws a fill-in until we get over to Canada's Infantry Brigade. And we do want to tell of the experience of driv- ing through London's rush hour traffic in a Canadian car on "the wrong side of the street", without a street plan, even. When we started planning our trip to England and the continent, last winter, we made arrangements with our Chev- rolet dealer, A. L. McAuley, an ex-RCAF type, to pick up an Envoy "Sherwood" Station- wagon in London. Looking back on our exper- ience, we would advise anyone contemplating picking up a car in the United Kingdom to com- plete arrangements through their local dealer. There's a personal touch that means so very much when you enter the office over here. We had completed the neces- sary forms with Lindsay Con- nell, another "ex", regarding delivery of the car, insurance, membership in the Automobile Association-who looked after the International Insurance Certificate (Green), reserva- tions on the Dover-Calais Fer- ry, affiliation with the contin- ental auto clubs, and supplied a wealth of information. When we presented our let- ter of introduction to Vauxhall on Wardour Street, off Shaftes- bury Avenue, we were greeted ever so politely and escorted to a well-appointed lounge as two other Canadians were ahead of us. The paperwork was com- pleted in as few minutes and in a shorter time than it takes to type it we had paid over our money and were introduced to the gentleman in a white jac- ket who had completed pre- paration, and were given a thorough check-out on the gleaming Envoy. We turned on the starter with not a little trepidation; for the five-o'clock traffic rush was on. And added to our worries was the fact we hadn't operat- ed a gearshift car in . eight years. After a quick instruction on how to get across London, we decided we'd have to call on our wartime driving habits and get out into that mad whirl of rushing cars, bicycles, motor bikes and 'scooters, buses and trucks. The night before, we had been taken across London by a Royal Navy driver. When we complimented him on finding his way, he remarked casually that he had headed for the southwest (Southwest 19) and had sorted out the streets after he got there. So we thought we'd do the same. We came down past the fam- ous Windmill Street and Thea- tre, turned onto Picadilly Cir- cus, wondering which spoke of the wheel was The Haymarket. We hit it as we went around with the traffic, stalled at a traffic light when we forgot the left foot had to operate the clutch, and made our way to Trafalgar Square, past the Royal Museum, St. Martin's-in- the-Field, Nelson's Column and his patient lions and fluttering pigeons, Admiralty Arch to Whitehall. We even found time to point out these historical landmarks to our ten-year-old son. Through the comparative quiet of Whitehall we drove past the Horse Guards Parade, Downing Street and the Ceno- taph. Big Ben loomed up over Westminster as we went along the Embankment. We w a need Wandsworth Bridge over the Thames, but we settled for Chelsea, and from there we had to do it by ear. After a couple of miles oe so and a couple of stalls at traffic lights we cheered when we 'saw a sign for "Balham". We were on the way. All we had to do was try and parallel "The Tube" along Tooting Bee, Tooting Broadway, Collier' Wood, South. Wimbledon, and the next would be Morden, the end of the Northern Line, and just around the corner from our "adopted home" at 86 Sandbourne Avenue. But, we weren't out of the woods yet. As traffic pressed us, almost hi sight of the familiar station, we took the wrong side of the "Y" and were on our way to Mitcham before we got our bearing. We wheeled about and tailed a "94" doubledecker bus back to the station. All in all, we decided we'd -HAW (HaeSttll .Correspondent) Elizabeth Ann Hallahan, RR 3, Blyth, and James Drummond McGregor, RR 2, Kipper, ex- changed wedding vows in a lovely ceremony in Henault United Church on August 20. before the Rev.
