Do not shear Pines, spruces Or firs. The niugho or mountain pine (Pinus mugo Whip') may be pruned by pinching back tbe new growth or candles about half-way when they are showing the tips of the new needles. The time for pruning spruces and firs is less exacting; cut back the new - leaders part way before lengthening has stopped for the summer. This keeps the stubs :from dying and allows time for the formation of new buds. Only when the trees are used for a screen effect and dense growth is desired are the central buds or the entire leaders removed. Proper pruning creates good structure of evergreens by increasing the density and also keeps down the overall size. if the • long terminal shoots at the ends of the main branches are unclipped, few, side twigs develop and the' plant becomes open and straggling in appearance. Take these tips. from. the professional (,Irivers. Vacation plans should include first aid kit $Y: A.A.Buckley. The average home owner should ,not find pruning shrubs a very difficult task provided he is aware c. of a ' few simple rules which will deter him, from going out in spring and cutting everything in sight back to a predesigned shape. June is the month when a lot of pruning has to be done. Right now it is easy to tell the dead Winter-killed shoots on shrubs such as mock oranges, wiegelas, and some spireas which suffer a great deal from winter injury. Prune this dead wood back to the first new shoots, or just beyond, to encourage new growth which will go into the winter in a well-ripened condition. Nearly all shrubs that flower in spring must be pruned right after their flowers have faded. This includes the spireas, mock oranges, forsythias, deutzias -and similar shrubs. Cut the current flowering wood well back and remove some of the old one-inch diameter branches right down to ground level to encourage new shoots to develop. Prune out some of the old wood from lilacs but leave most of the new flowering wood intact except for taking out the fading flowers. New shoots at the base of the flower clusters will provide next year's bloom, so preserve these as much as possible. The Van Houttei or bridal wreath spirea (Spiraea van houttei), which has a natural arching or pendulous branching: habit, must be pruned to take adiantage of this trait. cut the old flowering shoots back to one or two of the new arching branchlets and prune out some of the old wood. Try to achieve a nicely balanced shrub with branches that will hang to • ground level by next spring. Don't clip these shrubs like a hedge or else few blooms will be produced and the shrubs will look very stiff and formal. The Anthony Waterer and pink spirea (Spiraea bumilda 'Froebeli') need. very little pruning. Cut off the old flower stalks as soon as flowering has finished and they will produce another crop in September. Honeysuckles are rather difficult because they produce ornamental fruits and you can't cut the flower branches back without destroying their effect. I believe the pruning of these shrubs is best left until late fall, except for removing a branch or two which is out of place. In fall' cut out a lot of the old thick branches to encourage the development of new shoots from the base. Lilacs too will .need this additional pruning in October or November. Late June is an ideal time to prune cedars, junipers, yews and hemlocks. They have completed most of their growth for the season but will continue to grow at a slower rate during the rest of the summer. If the plants are pruned at this time, there will be enough new growth to mask the evidence of pruning, and the plants will. have a softer, more attractive appearance, throughout the fall and winter. 'Use light pruning shears or a sharp knife and carefully select the tips to be cut from the large number of small shoots growing put from the main branches. This type of pruning will keep. the 'natural outline of the plant intact. Do not shear the plants unless a very artificial effect is desired, such as that attained with hedges. If you have yews (Taxus) or junipers that are becoming overgrown, there is Co harm in illiams Fuels Ltd WAWA 'CL Nyorsio oistributoc,ripi.A: 1 Shell 911 PrOducts CHEIVIICALA If you are planning a family vacation' trip, stop• to ask yourself what you would do if a medical emergency arose far from home. For example, how would, you get medical help if you became ill or were injured in an accident? Suppose your supply of needed medicines ran out or became lost or broken. Anticipate such emergencies, says the drug industry's Council on Family Health in Canada, and make proper preparations well in advance of the' trip. The Council is a non-profit organization sponsored as a public service to encourage home safety and family health. Consult your own doctor about whom to contact if you become ill or injured away from home. If he cannot make a specific recommendation, you contapt 'the 1oealhospital or medical society where you are visiting. If the family is traveling in a foreign country and needs medical attention, obtain the name of a doctor from the hotel desk, the U.S. 'Embassy or Consulate, or a travel agency. If medication is prescribed, ask that the label directions be translated so that you fully understand the prescribed dosage and frequency. Once you have decided where you are going, find out if certain special immunizations are required. Diseases that have been eliminated or controlled in Canada may still be fairly common in other parts of the world. Allow enough time in advance of your travels for all needed inoculations and booster shots. " Ask your doctor about taking a supply of essential medicines sufficient for the duration of the trip. For a prolonged journey he may suggest you take along tYpewritten prescriptions. In packing medicines, put them into a carton or box separate from other items such as toiletries. Seal the tops of containers with transparent adhesive tape to prevent leakage. Wrap each container separately in Sufficient layers to prevent breakage. Keep your medicines in their original containers, and see that the labels are undamaged and easy to read. Do not mix several kinds of tablets or capsules in one container. When traveling with the family by car, take a first aid kit along. And check it, before leaving on the trip, to make sure the kit is complete. Weed control An attractive, well-groomed lawn is a prime asset to any home. However, a lawn can become unsightly if weeds gain a foothold. A safe and easy answer to the weed problem is the use of a weed and feed fetilizer-herbicide combination, says Dr. J. L. Eggens, Department of Horticultural Science, University of Guelph. --The weed and - feed combination 'has , many advantages for the home owner. It is in granular form and can be spread easily, either by hand or with a fertilizer spreader. No pressurized sprayer is required. This eliminates the danger of injurious drift which might damage ornamental or bedding plants. It also can be spread at any time during the growing season, yet is as effective as herbicides applied in a spray as long as the weeds are in active growth. The weed and feed combination serves a dual purpose since it supplies the lawn with its nutritional requirements at the same time as it controls the weeds. Almost all turf fertilizers in the ratio of 1:1:1 or 2:1:1, such as 10:5:5 or 5:5:5 can be purchased in this form. elladdeAl STUDIO Specializing in * Weddings * Children Single or Group Portraits and Passpor.ts 524-8787 i 18 St. David Goderich T.I'raasport, truek and bus. drivers are, on. the average, the Most. safety PeriScielts.dirivm on the road, They. lave to, be, their lives, their ,09e00. on their taking the maximum safety precautions at all times. Many of them have driven a million miles or More without accident. Very Ofte4, they will* the first to stop. and. assist you if you are in difficulty, The Ontario Automobile Association pays tribute to these Professional Drivers and passes *PAO some of their safety tips; 1. First of all, get completely comfortable in your seat. Adjust it so that you are seated about four to eight inches from the lower rim of your steering Wheel. Be able to woriCthe pedals easily and firmly. ' 2. Secure your safety belt up snugly, Not only will it protect you in accidents, 'but it will keep you sitting erect which will prevent fatigue and tiredness. 3. When driving, keep your eyes \ moving constantly ahead, and to your mirrors. Look well ahead for situations that could develop into accidents. Be aware always of cars coming up behind you. 4, Be ready for an "OUT" at all times. This means being able to take immediate evasive action to avoid an accident. 5. Watch not only the car in front of you, hut the cars in frput of it. Their brake lights will give you that extra time in stopping, 6. Whenever you are not sure the other driver sees you use yoUr horn — the "Pros" use their horns in such eases. 7, At night, you should drive at least 10 mites slower than your usual day speed. S. The "Pros" realize that a driver passes his ,, driving efficiency after 5 or 6 hours at the wheel and they slow down and take it easy. 9. Avoid eating heavy meals when driving long distances. They cause drowsiness and discomfort. Instead stop often for light, easily digested snacks. 10. Signal at all times when passing or changing lanes, etc. Check your mirror, to see that there are no rapidly approaching cars coming up behind you before you pull out to pass. After passing, get back into the non-passing lane as quickly and as safely as possible. 11. Never "Tail-gate", keep your safe distance behind vehicles at all times, especially at high speeds. 12. When passing at night, it is a good practise to flick your high beams as a warning of your intention to pass. The "Pros" say be alert, safe and courteous.
