Every once in a while- it gets
to be one hour or so before
column deadline time and. I still
haven't decided what I should
write about.
It usually •happens when my
mind is preoccupied with other
thoughts . which seem incite
maaing: To be perfectly frank, I
don't knew how in the world
can write _anything .coherent this
week at an, absolutely
flabbergasted by the happenings
of the past week or so.
used to think the Keller
family was a pretty stable group.
For almost one decade of our
married life (it has now been 15
long years Olive we took the
fatal step) we were settled in one
spot, expecting to live out our
days in that same location.
So certain was I that we were
permanent fixtures at that
address, I planted a gorgeous
flame-red climbing rose bush. I
had hoped it would crawl all
around the front porch and
someday, ' when my
grandchildren admired it, I
would say to them: "Yes dears, I
planted that when your daddy
was just a little tyke like you!"
Well, just when the rose bush
was at the peak of its blooming
season, our farm property was
sold. We moved on into the .
village where sweat and tears
(and several thousand dollars in
cash) produced a fine,
One.storeY honSe. It had
everything I'd ever dreamed of,
except arose bush.
• So, I planted another
flame-red climbing rose latish, I
nursed, it along like a baby in the
not-po-hot soil in that area. My
efforts were rewarded with
another beautifunrose bush. But
alas, during the second year of
its bloom the property was sold.
We moved down the street to a
small but attractive home my
husband had painstakingly
rescued from abandonment,
I was determined I wouldn't
plant a rose bush, particularly
not a flame-red climbing rose
bush. There were just too many
memories connected with the
culture of roses as far as. I was
concerned.
But out behind the house
under some old rubble I
discovered a few shoots of a
plant that faintly resembled a
rose bush. I dug around it the
first summer and was rewarded
with some fresh shoots.
The next summer the shoots
grew healthier and stronger. I
had to tie them up on a
makeshift trellis I found in the
garage. This spring, the rose bush
leaves were sleek and satiny and
there were literally hundreds of
buds on the plant.
Two weeks ago they burst
forth in glorious deep pink
color, Such a mass of flowers
you have never seen! The very
next day, the house and the rose
bush were sold,
Our new home is not new at
all. It is an old white brick
two-storey structure in another
town. The place is in need of
renovations and my handyman
husband is anxious to get the job
underway.
While he carefully examined
the structure of the place, I
strolled out to the yard to look
for rose bushes. I wasn't
disappointed. Although the
garden has been left to grow
wild for several years now, I
recognized the signs of a scrubby
little rose bush struggling to
breathe amid the grass and the
undergrowth.
Almost from habit I bent
down to clear away the debris to
give the valiant bush a chance to
thrive. And then I stopped,
remembering those other rose
bushes at those other homes. I
really didn't know whether I
wanted that little plant to
survive.
So now you know why I'm in
a muddle. We're getting ready to
move again and the precious
stability we once knew is
withering with the rose bushes.
We're becoming real nomads and
I'm afraid to plant or pamper
anything that resembles a rose
bush in case it gets worse.
Actually I don't mind moving
around. It keeps one from going
stale. I only wonder why roses
play such a significant role in my
destiny and if I should remove
all traces of them from my life,
just in case.
Blyth ups
mill rates
At a special meeting, the
Blyth Village Council this month
set a 103-mill farm and
residential property tax rate and
a 115-mill commercial rate for
1969.
The new residential rate is 4.5
mills above last year's and the
commercial rate` rise is five mills.
Council said the local general
rate was held, but that school
costs and county government
expenditures increased.
The first payment is due on
or before Aug. 27 and the
second installment is due on or
before Dec. 15.
A breakdown of the new
farm/residential rate shows 44
mills for local government, 21
for the county and 19 mills each
for county 'elementary and
secondary school purposes. The
commercial rate includes 52
mills for village purposes, 21 for
the county and 21 each for
elementary and secondary
schools.
The Bishop of Huron, the Rt.
Rev. G. N. Luxton, has
announced the appointment of
the second team-ministry for the
Diocese of Huron to be
established in 1969.
Previously an experimental
team-ministry •was begun in St.
Thomas between St. John's and
St. Hilda's Churches in that city,
The experiment concluded early
this year and there were many
benefits apparent to the
participating congregations. In
May, the first new team-ministry
for 1969 was established on the
Six Nations Reserve, with the
Rev. Karl Hansen and the Rev.
Dennis Hayden comprising the
team for the two Anglican
parishes on the reserve, south of
Brantford.
The new team as now
announced is for five
congregations in the immediate
vicinity of Wingham. In early
autumn, this team will begin
under the leadership of the Rev.
Robert Theodore Francis Brain,
L,Th,, M.C., presently the rector
of St. Barnabas' Church in
London; with as his associate,
the Rev. Joseph Keith Stokes,
B.A., S.T,D., presently the
incumbent of St, John's Church
on Walpole Island.
The five congregations
concerned will be St. Paul's,
Wingham; St. Mark's, Auburn;
Trinity, Belgrave; Trinity, Blyth
acrd St. John's, Brussels.
Mr. Brain will begin his
ministry on the first of October,
and Mr. Stokes will begin his
part of the sequence a month
earlier, with Mr. Brain living in
the rectory at Wingham,
The two clergymen will care
for the services in the five
congregations in a planned
sequence.
The recent death of the Rev.
Herschel Hamilton, former
•0111110mmom111111S,
rector of Wingham, and the
forthcoming appointment of the
Rev. Franklin Braby of Brussels,
to another post within the
diocese, have created vacancies
that make possible this further
extension of the team-ministry
with these • neighbouring
congregations within a 15 mile
radius, south and west of
Wingham.
Mr. Brain is a son of the
rectory. Born in Toronto, the
son of the Rev. Canon W. J. and
Mrs. Brain, he was ordained in
the Diocese of Toronto in 1934,
after graduating from Trinity
College. After service in Toronto
and Peterborough Mr. Brain
served from 1940-1946 as a
Chaplain, and later as Senior
Chaplain for the Canadian Army
Overseas, and was awarded the
Military Cross. Coming to the
Diocese of Huron in 1960, he
has served on Pelee Island, in the
Norwich parish, and since 1964
at St. Barnabas', London. Mr.
. and Mrs. Brain, the former Edith
Isobel McKee, have one
daughter, Ursula, the wife of the
Rev. Malcolm Evans, Director of
Planning 'and Programme for the
Diocese of Niagara.
The Rev. J. K. Stokes, who
will share with Mr. Brain in this
team-ministry, was also born and
educated in Toronto, and is a
