News-Re<?prd-wThwrs./ Aug.18<1966 BY DOROTHY BARKER A Lovesome Thing Because we live in a country where a large percentage of the population spends cold, rugged months anticipating the aflvent of .spring -and1 our -short summer season, a visit fo the west coast rates high on many vacation, calendars, With jits mild dli- ( matte, spectacular scenery- and lovely gardens, if ?s an exciting and satisfying adventure travel­ ing to the west sidle, of the mountain slopes of British Col­ umbia. Because it has had a repu­ tation for being a "little, bit of England” more British than England itself, Victoria, on Vancouver Island has allways been “a must” recommended by many travel agents both here in Canada and across the border. Like many cities on this con­ tinent, Victoria has lost some of ‘ lits- »• “old world” charm. Caught up in the building boom, motels and tourist attractions have set a new post-war pace for a delightful city that was once considered mostly a haven for retired persons. This island’ capital, however, is still .one of the most fascin­ ating Canadian cities. I have been fortunate enough to visit there- on numerous occasions; and never cease to be d'elighted1 by the -many things there are to see and do within its environs. There -are several types of sightseeing .tours'. Not one could I possibly recommend more than another. High on a tally- ho riding to the rhythm of the clomp, clomp of rather sturdy horses; taking the comers with a delightful list atop, an authen­ tic London. two-dC’cker bus, or •wheeled in a bright red rick­ shaw-with 'an enthusiastic uni­ versity student pointing out places of interest, all these mo­ bile tours endear this city by the sea to iits visitors. Created Beauty I don’t -suppose you could go anywhere in toe world that you would not find' someone who has, at some time or another, visited the Butchart Gardens. You don’t 'have to be a garden lover to appreciate fhe great artistry of this famous land­ scaped area. Situated at Tod Inlet, some 13 miles from the city of Victoria, Butchart Gar­ dens grace over 25 acres of an 130-acre eState. Early in this century Robert Piim Butchart was a pioneer in the manufacture of Portland cement in Canada. He became president of a cement company whose supply of limestone came from the quarry nearby his home. When the limestone was exhausted the abandoned quar­ ry offended Mrs. Butchart and. inshe set about including plans for landscaping home grounds. Her gardening, experiment has developed far beyond her original effort, though many of the exotic tree?, shrubs and,1 plants were collected by the Bu'bcharts dur­ ing their extensive travels. They ‘ named their estate “Benvenuto” and though start­ ed as a hobby only, Butchart’s Garden was later opened to the public. It -has, for over half a century, welcomed many thou- sand visitors, < Roses have always been a-, mphg.my favorite blooms and here, I am sure, there must be almost every’* variety I. have ever heard about or ‘happily sniffed -in the heavily scented air after a quliet rainfall. This part of the garden is usually a,t its best early in July, There are also roses' planted in many other places throughout the Gardens'. The Dutchart residence, now closed except for a refreshment area, is about 100 feet above se|a level where the grounds slppe gently through the Japan­ ese Gardens, to the seashore, Within the greenhouses there is a salesroom- where seeds grown, on the property may be pur­ chased. I chaste a commo n gar­ den variety Of marigold’s WhiOh I have propagated- from the eventual seed's each year, I •would like to have experiment­ ed' a bit more hortiiculturally. In my central Ontario village there tils no -soft morning mist or the rich sandy soil peculiar to that part of our most Westerly province that makes the Butch- art Gardens- grow so abundant­ ly. Marigold’s, I knew, thrive -almdsit anywhere. it their could Ridgetown Agricultural School Has High Producing Guernseys Ideas For Summer Lawn Care From Ontario Dept of Agriculture Oscar Brand Is ' Composing Song For New Program Oscar Brand ds composing a new song for CTV’S1 new fa® show “Brand: New Scene”, which will incorporate the title ■and theme Of the program1. In time this song may become aS popular as the theme son-gs Brand composed’ for two other CTV prodluctibns “Something to Sing About” and “Let’s Sing Out”. Brand composedz the song “Something To Sing About” for the opening of the CTV net­ work’s fall season three years ago, and lit has since been chos­ en as the theme song for a doc­ umentary film being produced for Canada's Expo '67. The “Let’s Sing Out” theme song is now heard in a dozen countries where the Canadian- produced series appears. On Mission Work AUBURN — The August meeting of the Women’s Mis­ sionary Society of Knox Pres­ byterian. Church was held at the, home of Mrs. Ed. Davies. The president, Mrs. Wilfred Sanderson was 'in charge and gave the call to worship, fol­ lowed by the Lord’s prayer. A hymn was sung to accompani­ ment on the harp • by Mrs. Robert J. Phillips. The minutes Were-read iby secretary, Mrs. Alvin’ Leatherland. It, was an­ nounced that the fall rally of the Huron Presbyterial would be held at Hensail on Sept­ ember 28 with afternoon and evening sessions. Mrs. Roy Daer was in charge of the devotional period’ and based 'her message on the theme, “Called to the Ministry of Reconciliation” with several members taking part, followed by .a discussion on the Bible readings. The roll call was an­ swered with Bible verses con­ taining the word’, reconciliation. Thte mission -study was taken by Mirs. Frank Raiith'by and she gave a detailed1 account of sev­ eral missionaries in India, For­ mosa 'and Nigeria . and their medical clinics, and- work in hos­ pitals1. The offering was received and -dedicated With1 prayer by Mrs. Roy Daer. Following the sing­ ing of a hymn and benediction, Mrs. Davies served a delicious lunch. ------_—o----------- Classified Ads.

The Bible Today In 'his report to the British and Foreign Eiblie Society, tlie Rev. Dr, A, Inbanathan, Gen­ eral Secretary of the Bible Soc­ iety in India, stated that Scrip­ ture distribution pf 3% million volumes durling 1965 was the highest on record for- India'and Ceylon. Four Bible Vans tour, rural areas with average sales of 700,000 copies of Scripture- each Week to the many people Who are becoming literate. Gospel passages are published in news­ papers lin eleven languages and flie broadcasting time of 'Bible Readings over the radio in five languages' has been increased from- three to fifteen minutes. Despite th'e unsettled conditions on- the northern borders of India the first translation of a Scripture portion appeared in the Newari 'dialect—-the dlilalect of the- people” on the border be­ tween India and Nepal. Work is -also- -proceeding on St. John’s Gospel in another dialect within the same area. In speaking of the special Scripture distribution program­ in prison, Dr. Inbanathan tells how a man under sentence of death .happened to read a Bible which had been provided by the Bible Society. He was repentant for -toe murder he had' commit­ ted but he knew no way to re­ lieve his -feelings of guilt. In reading his Bible he learned with amazement that even he, a murderer, could receive for­ giveness ^itom God. No longer was he afraid to die. The day before his execution he was baptized and the few hours he had as a Christian were spent in telling his fellow-prifeoners of the-joy he experienced in know­ ing that God’ had forgiven him and offers pardon to all man- kiph. He died a happy man. . Tins man Showed concern for others which .puts many of us to . shame who are comfortably placed 'in life. -He tried to meet- ■a challenge as best he could. We, too, -face the same chal­ lenge. For Christians in Canada the ’ circulation, of 3% million Scriptures in . India with toe more than’ 100 million, literates is pathetically small. Our task is to press forward and attempt greater things.- Despite, our- 'faulty and imperfect work we shall find that the Holy Spirit can' and does: bear witness to*’ Christ, bringimg results we had hardly dare to expect. -------------------o----------------— Mrs. Mitchfell Dies At Huronview The hot su.mmer days pf the • past several weeks have dried l and 'Scortched many lawns throughput Ontario. Horticul­ turists with the Ontario De* partmpat Of Agriculture and Food advise that a regular pro­ gram. of lawn maintenance must be observed, fri order to protect your grass. Proper watering is necessary during the hot weather. Water* applied at any'tifmte of tire day Will hdp, -but a soaldng in the early morning or evening -will benefit the grass most. At 'these times', eyaporatlioin is slower and thte waiter has a chance to soak into the 'soil thoroughly. When you water, soak the grass thor­ oughly^ A light sprinkling can do more 'harm than -good, as it encourages shallow grass root­ ing and1 w® not stop the lawn from scorching. Apply 1 to 1%,, inches of water with each soak­ ing. Guage -the amount by measuring the' water collected in a pan placed -under tile, sprin-1 kier. Where grass is growing on a islope, apply water as a fine spray to. prevent moisture run* off. * ■Mowing 'is important to- the health of your lawn as well as to its appearance. During the summer, the grass should 'be cut only a§ low’ as 1% to 2 to prevent scorching Lawn mowers -must -be kept sharp, as dull blades will tear rather than slice the grass. Gbas-s injured in ’this manner will turn brown at the taps. inches -----------------o---------------r- Use Classified Ads, ... .................. - ... .....
