Garden Show of the Garden
Club of Toronto. The event will
occur in the Royal Ontario
Museum where flowers will
bloom amidst authentic

Through the Ages" and will
focus on garden designs as they
have evolved from the early
Greek and Roman period up to a
modern-age Mexican atrium
garden with cacti and succulents,
There will also be fresh
snowdrops and violets from
Covent Gardens, a Boutique
Bazaar, accessories for the
flower arranger and
horticulturalist, and gardening
books to be sold.

Several nice mornings last
week a cardinal could be heard
whistling on Vinegar Hill but
was not visible. However, on
Monday of this week, the writer
was lucky enough to see this
vivid fellow while he hunted for
food amongst the rosebushes in
front of Mrs. Wes Hoggart's
house. One of the neighbours in
that area thinks she's a pretty
good bird imitator as the
cardinal answers when she
whistles.

The Old Man
He sat at the window and looked
out
At the many trees and birds
And as I stood there listening
I heard him say these words.
"Oh why, oh why, has my youth
gone,
Away with the many years?"
And as I stood there watching
I'm sure I saw some tears.
"Mother Nature has not turned

Well, it has happened! And
after all the warnings about what
would happen if license plates
were not installed at the proper
time. One Clinton. husband did
buy the essential items but Son
forgot to put them on. So who
got picked up by police?
Mother, of course — and while
doing a favour for someone too,

A hit-and-run accident
occurred on Sunday, Feb. 28
near Huron Dead Stock Removal
on Highway 8, east of Clinton. A
car, driven by Murray Graham of
Kincardine, was struck by a
vehicle which fled the scene.
Through the co-operation of the
Clinton Police Department, the
O.P.P. report the offender has
been apprehended, Charges are
pending.
Oh why does this happen to
be?"
And as I stood there gazing
He turned and looked at me.
"Child you're young and healthy
With many years to go
Live your life to the fullest
And have something left to
show.
The world can be full of laughter
Or heart-ache and distress
I want you to have a long life
With years of happiness.
I walked over to the old man,
And gave him a tender kiss
And so I stood there thinking,
Of the love I'll surely miss.
If one could wish upon a star,
I'd wish that he could be,
Forever happy with his life
eternity.
