On these expeditions, husbands often prove to be impulsive buyers who can wreck a whole week's budget in two hours. For most women, the weekly shopping is a well- planned bargain hunt. Before anything, they read the newspapers. That's where the search for values begins. It's no mystery why newspapers have so much advertising in them. That's because smart women consider advertising ,is news. And so do smart advertisers. Think about it.What would you do without your newspaper? Clinton News-Record PHONE 482-3443 Yu Medical. Secretaries- meet Due to very stormy weather, the meeting of the Heron county Medical Secretaries originallY scheduled for Wednesday evening, March 9 had to be postponed until Wednesday evening, March 16. The meeting Was held at the Clinton Public Hospital, in the Cafeteria, and there were sixteen present. New members were added' to the membership and it is hoped to add to the membership as the year progresses, Besiness meeting was opened by the president, Mrs, Donna Fisher, who expressed her pleasure at seeing the good attendance, in spite of the re- scheduling of the meeting, Due to the inclement weather usually present in the area, the meetings for the months of January and February are omitted and extra meetings held in the summer months to make up for this. The minutes of the previous meeting held in November were read and adoption of them was seconded by Mrs, Madeline Yeats. It was decided everyone would contribute to lunch for next month. The move to adjourn the tusiness meeting was made by Mrs, Bonnie Finch and seconded by Mrs. Kay Hodgkinson. Guest speaker for the evening was Dr. J. R. Leitch of the Goderich Medical Centre and he was introduced by Mrs. Lee Flowers. The introduction had been prepared by. Mrs. Betty Wilkin but which she was unable to give it due to the change of date for the meeting. Dr. Leitch's topic for the meeting was "Emergencies" and all felt much better equipped to Dr, William I. Taylor, Executive Director of Associated Nursing Homes Incorporated Ontario, stated to-day that the Association was concerned over the public concern being expressed regarding reports that some of the nursing homes might "opt out" of the new Extended Care Insurance Plan which comes into effect April 1st, 1972. In order to assure the residents of Ontario that every effort is being made by ANHIO members to eo-operate with sthess-Ohtario government and maintain their present high standards of resident care, Dr. Taylor has issued the following motion unanimously approved by their Board of Directors this week. "The Board of Directors of Associated Nursing Homes Incorporated Ontario met in formal session on the afternoon of handle these in the future because of his 'very pertinent and, clear instructions. Dr. Leitch brought out the fact that he felt Medical Secretaries are looked on, in the course of their duties, to be well versed in emergency procedures because of the close association with Doctors' work. One of the most important facts brought out by Dr. Leitch was that after some very simple procedure or knowledgable action at the time of an emergency could very easily mean the saving of a life, or the prevention of permanent injury if not treated with due care and caution. Dr. Leitch listed six headings under which to be prepared to give calm, intelligent assistance. They are; feel, talk, observe, brain and spinal cord, fractures, wounds, Cases were cited from a Geigy Pamphlet on Emergencies. Members are writing to ask for copies of this pamphlet to distribute among the members. Dr, Leitch stressed the most important thing to remember is. DON'T PANIC! He also suggested that the St. Johns' Ambulance Course would be very helpful. A demonstration of the AMBU life saving equipment was demonstrated by Dr. Leitch and then Mrs. Joyce Armstrong of Zurich acted as the patient and let everyone practise. Mrs. Kay Hodgkinson thanked Dr, Leitch very much for his thought provoking talk, After this the Hostess Group served a very tasty lunch and all enjoyed a very pleasant social time before going their separate ways. March 14, 1972 and after careful consideration of the position with respect to negotiations with the Government on the Extended Care Insurance Plan and in the best interests of the residents recommended to their members that they participate in the Extended Care Insurance Program." The Board expressed confidence in Dr. Potter, Minister of Health and trusts that through our mutual co-operation the plan will be implemented for the best interests of all involved. The Board appreciates Dr. Potter's promise to keep an open door for the discussion of problems and that he is quote "negotiable" and the Board agrees to his proposal that there will be monthly meetings between his office and the Association." BY A. R. BUCKLEY Primroses are among the most attractive of flowering plants. Nothing can be more charming and graceful than these plants in a woodland glade with light checkered shade. Most of the showy species are only hardy in British Columbia. However, they may often be nurtured into near perfection in southern Ontario, especially in the Niagara district. A few very handsome and sun-loving types may be seen in rock gardens and perennial borders in the colder parts of eastern Canada. Some of these are sufficiently hardy for the prairies. The most outstanding species, usually associated -with old fashioned gardens, is the auricula (Primula auricula), a very showy and hardy species with stout mealy stems and powdery oval leaves. The flowers, which are bell-shaped and fragrant, are borne in umbels. The flower color of the species itself is yellow, but there are many mutants and hybrids, having different colors, usually classed in this group. The auriculas grow easily in most soils. The soil must not be allowed to become dry. To assist in retaining soil moisture, quantities of organic matter should be added. In eastern Canada and the prairies, the plants should be given winter protection to prevent the large swollen roots from heaving, Among the most outstanding cultivars are Blue Velvet, deep velvety blue with a white eye; Celtic King, bearing large clear yellow flowers with a white eye; Dusty Miller, having yellow, richly scented flowers and Jean Walker, a mauve with a cream eye, that has a vigorous growth habit. Primula cortusioides, a native of Siberia, has rose-colored flowers s on many-flowered umbels. The soft hairy leaves are somewhat like those of Siebold's primrose (Primula sieboldii) but much smaller. This is an excellent, very hardy, primrose that grows where most others will not succeed, A very dainty early flowering primrose that sec:ns to have endeared itself to Canadian gardeners for generations is the Himalayan primrose (Primula denticulata). This hardy and charming primrose grows in all kinds of soil and withstands drier conditions than most of the others. Its showy light violet or mauve blooms are borne in globe-shaped clusters and provide a pleasant spring picture if planted in lavish groups in the front of the border. Although the white flowered form and the Cashmerian primrose, a later flowering form, are well known, not many are aware that there are many good vigorous color selections. Of these I prefer Bengal Rose, fuchsia purple; Pritchard's Ruby, rich ruby red; Stormont's Red, vivid orchid purple and Red Emperor, bright rose. Almost as soon as the snow has gone from the rock garden at the Plant Research Institute, the Julie primrose and its cultivars burst into bloom. This is the most satisfactory primrose for cultivation in eastern Canada and is usually accepted as a good rock garden and low carpeting plant. Since it will. tolerate drier conditions than most primulas and will grow in shaded areas, it is most useful as a ground cover for dry shady borders. The species itself forms dense mats of foliage from which masses of lilac-purple flowers arise in early spring. Many cultivars, most of which have resulted from crosses with the polyantha primrose, have brilliant colors and flower even more abundantly. Among these are Betty, rich crimson; Dorothy, pale yellow; E. R. James, vivid cherry red; Gold Jewel, very bright yellow; Jewel, crimson purple; Old Port, wine purple; Our Pat, double dark purple; Snow Cushion, white and Wanda, claret purple. The Polyanthus primrose, which is so well known to most gardeners, is a name that covers all the complex hybrids that involved crossing and re-crossing of such species as the cowslip (Primrose veris), oxlip (Primrose elatior) and the common English primrose (Primrose vulgaris) to obtain a race with a fantastic range of color, size and beauty, The plants are moderately hardy in eastern Canada, although they do not persist for many years. Their survival depends a great deal on providing a sheltered location, adequate drainage, good rich soil and mulching during the summer. Some strains are hardier than others. The Barnhaven, Clarke's and Ellen Garden hybrids are three good American strains. The newest hybrids from Sakata of Japan known as the Pacific 1111011111111111MMIIIIIIIIMINIm BAYFIELD BARBER SHOP WILL BE OPEN Thursday Evenings-5-9 p.m. and Friday Evenings-5-9 p,m.

In the Ottawa area, they seem as hardy as the others and given some shade have lasted a few years. These are grown from seeds and are available in at least 11 true-breeding colors including deep reds, yellow blue and white. The hardy Siebold's primrose (Primula sieboldii) is a very satisfactory Japanese species that is more tolerant of sun, heat, drought and cold than most of the others. Large 11/2 inch fringed flowers of pink, rose, white or purple are produced on slender flower spikes in late spring. The heart-shaped crinkled leaves form tufts of foliage which are themselves attractive most of the year. The Barnhaven hybrids, produced in Michigan, are larger and have a wider assortment of colors, The common primrose forms small tufts of wrinkled foliage from which arise solitary yellow flowers with a deeper yellow eye. Although deep blue shades and double flowers do not occur often in the types mentioned 'above',.- they are ' abundant 'in' • hybrids of the common primrose (Primula vulgaris) from which double pink, blue and yellow are available.
