The exhibit is made up of five different booths, all dealing with sound and what effects it. This one explains the differences in outdoor speakers.

For the canoeists, there will be four classes: under age 15, age 15 and over, father and son or mother and daughter, all professionals, who will be competing for the Grand Trophy. • The paddle boat races will be run for all of the above classes except the professional. class. Trophies and prizes will be presented immediately following the races and most of the prizes are being donated by local merchants, There are 12 paddle boats that can be rented at the lake but only three canoes, so come prepared with your own canoe, paddles and life presenters. There is a registration fee of $2.00 per team, and a park entrance fee of $1.00 per car unless visitors hold a season's pass. It is hoped that the London Canoe Club will put on a canoeing and water safety demonstration before pitting their skills against the other professional canoe clubs which are being invited. But remember, there is a race for everyone, young or old, amateur or professional, canoeist or paddle boater. , I have been supressing the urge every week now for some time to write this column. Finally this week, I cleared the matter with my dear spouse and he has agreed to allow the story to appear in print. It isn't my custom to get permission from my husband to write about him, but this particular matter is so special that I felt it was absolutely imperative — for the sake of our marriage — to forewarn my guy what I was up to. The whole thing began quietly, without the least amount of fuss. My eldest son and I were watching television late at night, after the rest of the household was asleep, when we noticed something large and swoopy in the front hall where the light was blazing brightly. My son took a closer look and found the intruder was a bat — one of those squeaky, lousy creatures which are supposed to get caught in your hair and all those creepy things. "I'll call dad," offered my brave son who dislikes vermin as much as I do, The night was hot, horribly hot, and the hour was late. Keep these two facts foremost in your mind. I heard a muffled grumbling which took on the shape of cursing and watched as my husband descended the stairs. The fact that he was stark naked did not worry me or our son who crept cautiously behind his father. We're quite accustomed to seeing one another in the nude so there was not one shred of panic. The attention was focused clearly on the bat. Hubby was obviously half asleep. He peered in and around Pau-6i FUEL KIDS • LOCAL lltADEMARKS. IAA Order Fuel Oil from us ... early!

He decided the only sensible approach was to flush the beast out. "Get me the broom," he ordered in a tone which indicated this was no time for levity. Our son obediently brought the broom and handed it to his father. My husband then began a furious poking and prodding, here and there and everywhere where a terrified bat might linger. He must have touched a raw nerve because in no time at all, the bat was swooping again, round and round above my husband's head. I was watching the whole thing from the safe side of a French door and our son was barricaded behind the kitchen door where no bat had ever trespassed. It was my husband against the bat. Then came the frantic shouts from my husband. "Open the door," he hollared with furor. "Somebody open the front door." We obeyed his command without question. And there, framed in a circle of light was my bare husband, broom raised' on high and chasing to and fro like a madman, for the world to observe, while the bat darted thither and yon at the front entrance. Blessedly, the bat finally • went out into the night, the doors were closed, the broom was stored away in the cupboard, the light was shut off and my husband — still mumbling and half asleep — climbed the stairs to bed. The next morning, I covered my face in shame as I emerged onto the front verandah to retrieve the milk and the newspaper. What if that woman — that neighbor across the street whom I've never even met — was watching as my husband did his version of Lady Godiva's ride. What would she think? • I wore my dark eye glasses to work, too. Hopefully no one who possibly had been out strolling or driving late last evening would recognize me as the wife of the queer fellow who does the strange dancing in the funny suit. Halfway through the morning, my husband appeared at the office where I work. He looked quite normal. He got into quiet conversation with some of the fellows with whom I work but before long, I could hear loud gafaws from their direction. It seems my husband had finally realized what he'd done the night before while half asleep — and with red face quickly left the premises to reflect on it. With careful construction and design, a rock garden can resemble the natural outcrop of rock on a mountainside. The principles for constructing a rock garden remain the same regardless of the size of the garden. The only variation is in the size and scale of the rocks and plant material used. An open sunny location preferably on a sloping site set some distance from your home is best, say horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. Good natural drainage is essential; otherwise tiles or rubber drains must be installed. Addition of a fertile well-drained loam soil is recommended, although not necessary if it is a small rock garden. Rocks can be put on top of the soil and the spaces between the rocks filled with prepared soil (two parts loam to one part coarse sand). Choose only one kind of rock for a natural unified appearance, color and texture. Sandstone and limestone are good choices. Convenient lightweight rocks such as tufa and pumice are suitable but expensive. Never use artificial stone or any material of contrasting texture or color. Obtain rocks of various sizes and if a pathway is desired, build it with large flat stones. Avoid the "Millions of Canadians served by their co-operatives should expect, from their government, treatment no less favourable than in other countries," Bruce McCutcheon, the president of United Co-operatives of Ontario, has stated in a telegram to Finance Minister E. J. Benson. He was referring to new Federal tax proposals restricting year-end rebates paid to co-operative members. Since the co-operative would have to pay tax on an amount equal to five percent of the member's capital employed, it would have to limit the return of savings to members so as not to reduce its taxable income below this arbitrary amount. Mr. McCutcheon said that in no other country in the world do co-operatives face this punitive handicap. He added that it discriminated against to-operatives and should be removed entirely. Heavy work may be required for the construction of a rock garden but subsequent care is easy. In spring a general clean-up and topdressing is recommended. Thorough watering and weeding in summer should be done when necessary. In the fall, simply divide' and • transplant those plants" ‘. that require it. Further information is contained in Ontario, Department of Agriculture and, Food Publication 38, Rock Gardens, available from the A co-operative is a business owned by its user-members. In most co-operatives, members receive a share of the savings generated over the year — if any — in direct proportion to the amount of business done. You don't have to be a member to shop at a co-operative, but only members receive savings rebates. World-wide, co-operatives have 255 million members in nearly 100 countries. Canada has 2,518 co-operatives with 1,688,000 members. In Ontario, there are approximately 100,000 members of co-operatives. Most co-operatives in the province are farm supply businesses. UCO is the largest of these, with 30,000 direct members and another approximately 50,000 indirect members who belong to co-operatives using UCO as a wholesale.

When putting rocks into home soil, make an effort to position them as they would be found iii nature. Bury at least half the stone in the soil, the broadest face in the earth. Rain and weather elements will shift the soil into a natural position. Be sure to fill in the spaces between the stones firmly since air pockets can harm plant roots. Let the soil set for a few weeks before planting. Planting is best in early spring and fall but container-grown plants can be set out any time during the summer.
