Flpwer Address
Given To W.L
The May meeting of the

torium, May 10. There was a
splendid attendance and proved a
most interesting meeting. Mrs. I.
Scott, who was such an enthus
iastic and popular president last i
year, was again in the chair. She
was ably assisted by Mrs. Wes
Hodgins as secretary.
Harold Corbett gave a,
paper on, "Be humble i stumble", taking ex- j
of humility from the;
Abraham Lincoln, Queen j
and Our Lord.
The Current Events were
! taken by Mrs. Warner
Roberts. The roll call
"Housecleaning „ or garden hints".
There were very few just "pres
ent”. Nearly all had some inter
esting and useful hint to offer.
The high light of the meeting
was a most interesting address
on flowers by Mr. Parry Thomp
son of Parkhill, who spoke most
ly on the growing and care of
the rose and lily. He also an
swered dozens of questions.
After his address there was a Athabasca will be Billie sale of plants, roots and bulbs, i’-- — » — -■»<—

Birr District
A community park and
i creation centre for the Birr dist
inct was provided recently when
‘Jack Legg, the Birr merchant
and London Township councillor,
purchased a 50-acre tract of land
for that purpose.
An Arbor Day tree-planting
ceremony marked the beginning
of the park which Mr. Legg
hopes will eventually have a ball
diamond, skating rink and swim
ming pool.
The land was formerly part
the Sam Stevenson farm and
traversed by Medway Creek.
On Arbor Day each school
{child planted a seedling hard
maple along the bordei’ of the
proposed park. Assisting in the
{planting were Mr. Legg, Miss
lEdna A. Noyes, Birr teacher, and
.Torn Sinclair, son of the village’s
oldest resident.
