New plants
To commemorate the nursery

1973, several new plants will be
introduced, says D.E. McNeill,
horticultural specialist, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, The program, originally
called "Project 73", has now
been designated_ "Gardens
Canada".
The following are the new
plant stocks that will be in-
troduced in 1973; Flamingo
Queen, a rose with deep, clear,
salmon-pink flowers blooming
throughout the summer, it is
particularly beautiful in Sep-
tember; "De Groot" Linden, a
slow growing, sturdy upright
tree with a compact head, it
has proven ideal for urban con-
ditions; "Little Giant" Cedar,
this is a new globe cedar. It is
slow growing and compact,
with a maximum height of
about 18 to 24 inches. It makes
an excellent foundation plant;
"Sheridan Gold" Euonymus, a
fine contrast plant with
brilliant yellow leaves; "Blue
Acres" Juniper, a beautiful
blue ground cover which is also
effective for foundation plan-
tings; "Springside Daylily" a
beautiful orange-yellow daylily
blooming in mid-June.
happy" with the showing Clinton
and area people made this year.
The Club mailed out 1,450 letters

closed.
Mr, Livermore said, however, that
there was still time to send in
donations as the campaign would
remain open until the end of May.
A total of 11 Opportunities
for Youth grants have been ap-
proved for Huron County, two
of them in Goderich.
A project called "The Band"
will receive $8,579 to employ
nine people who will provide
an "educational experience for
young people, give enrichment
to the Huron County Com-
munity and provide entertain-
ment for people confined to old
age homes, nursing homes and
mental hospitals," as described
in the program outline.
A second project in Goderich
will attempt to "enable retar-
ded children to participate in
most of the regular activities of
school during the summer thus
helping the teachers in the fall
so they will not have to begin
relearning processes. They can
continue normal activities."
The project description also
notes that the program is
aimed at helping the children
"achieve some goal by the end
of the summer yet make it fun
to learn."
Called "New Horizons" the
project will receive
$6,280 to employ six persons.
A Blyth Recreation Program
will set up recreation activities
for all ages and organize and
supervise a recreational
playground with games and
sports. The program outline
points out that it is the aim of
the program to keep teenagers
off the street, set up a coffee
house and get the whole com-
munity involved in activities
both recreational and social.
This program will employ six
people and operate on a budget
of $4,645.
At Benmiller a project will
employ nine people who work
on the preservation of the
historical heritage of "a typical
pioneer village through
literature and art."
With $8,475 the group hopes
to present the life and culture
of the early settlers in the form
of a mural and an informative
written record.
The program outline explains
this is "to make citizens aware,
proud and interested in their
cultural background and to
provide an invaluable learning
experience."
At Seaforth six people will be
employed under a $5284 grant
to help elderly people maintain
the appearance of their homes
and surroundings and to help
those who are old or physically
unable to do the work them-
selves.
The program calls itself
"Home Improvement for Senior
Citizens."
At Clinton three people,
working with a $4,135 grant,
undertake a socio-
economic study of Vanastra
and its affect on the region.
They will perform a physical
study of the capabilities of the
site itself and attempt to make
people aware of what is going
on there, how it will affect
them and how it can benefit
them. They also hope to help
other developers working in
this field.
The group want to provide
guidelines for the different
levels of government involved
and to help clear up any con-
fusion about what is happening
at Vanastra.
"Staying Home" a Brussels
project financed to the tune of
$3,135 will employ five people
to set up a rural cultural centre
to further knowledge of
Canadian culture. They will
offer music, theatre and arts to
the villagers, They say in their
project outline they hope to
keep the village alive and have
people doing meaningful
things."
Seven people, with a $6,740
O.F.Y. grant will attempt to
develop social, physical and
creative skills with children 3
