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.

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."
