The trouble is not so much physi

J. A. Carroll Speaks
at Horticultural
50 YEARS AGO
Convention
Following are the opening ahd
closing remarks of the Superinten
dent Mr- J. A. Carroll at the 34th
Annual Convention of the Ontario
Horticultural Association in Toron
to last week.
When a state of war was declared
all thinking citizens, particularly
organization officers, anayzed their
positions immediately and contem
plated changes by which greater
service might be given to the Nation
and to the Empire, due to the re
percussions of the war. Thoughts
turned at once to efficiency in those
activities which might be expected
to make the greatest contribution
to the war effort. We naturally
pondered whether beautification in
its various forms, might be left in
abeyance, or decreased somewhat,
during the war period.
The last Great War 1914-191i8,
or should be say the first part of
the saipe war, may serve as a guide.
The figures show there was an
increase of 70 per cent, in the num
ver of Societies; the total member
ship was more than doubled, and
the expenditure for horticultural
purposes was multiplied by three-.
This may be taken as evidence that
in trying times people require a
hobby which affords recreation and
spiritual rest. We may, therefore,
proceed on the assurance that Hor
ticultural Society ^activities are fully
warranted and a well planned pro
gram should be promoted with more
euthusiasm than in times of peace,
Dark days may lie ahead of us,
particularly those in public office
must be on the alert for opportun
ities to serve. Let each do his part
so that in Canada we may continue
to plant trees and shrubs in the as
surance that they are not likely to
be uprooted by bomb oi’ shell, or
trampled by the feet of
ies.

rent our own radio but it costs each
of us only three pence a week. Even
then some fellows kick. It makes
me smile to think how much some
of them are going to learn when we
hit France. We certainly can’t ex

that we have here. Personally I
never had as soft a job as I have
had up to the present. I realize it
will be different later on I know
but I think we have had a real snap
so far. The folks here have certain

interested in the progress of the
branch. I certainly wish all you
comrades the best of luck in all
your undertakings. I hope all’ your

Mrs. R. Kydd, of Usborne, has
received a letter from Pte Verne
Harness who is now overseas. Pte-
Harness said that they arrived in
Scotland on December 18th, after
a wonderful trip across. The water
was calm all the way, with not more
than a dozen men sick, and . he
never lost a meal. They had eight
battleships and cruisers escort them
half-way across. By the time they
arrived they were escorted by 23
plane carriers, battleships and cruis
ers. Not a bad convoy for five
troop ships. Hitler didn’t have
much chance to get many of us.
They landed in Scotland and went
across country by rail to their pres
ent situation. They have learned
map readifig, compass reading, truck
driving, road signs and everyone
has to be able to ride a motorcycle.
When the troops are inspected all
have fresh haircuts, shining buttons
and shoes, everything spick and

ters now which are called huts and
