Bastef bunnies are cautioned
this year. about those gooey
marshmallow and p h o c o 1 a't e
eggs they've been laying all
over the place for the last few
Easters. Seems there have been
some complaints, about the
switch with the colorfult beialthr
ful, hard-boiled type to the
costly candy versions those
totmgwretched rabbits are
these days. . 1
Easter eggs used to be' a
mystery. Baek when children
were seen and never heard,
innocents scampered out
of bed on an Easter morning to
find1 “bunny nests” all over the
bedroom, the kitchen, the porch,
the yard, just about everywhere.
Wide-eyed and- wondering,
the youngsters gathered, the .ex
citing eggs amid squeals of joy

Easter morning in “the7 mod
ern household is a far cry from
the peaceful pleasure of by
gone Easters. Now, it is a
noisy round of ""Mary’s bunny

can't I eat my jelly beans be--

nicer eggs than these in the

Thanks to the Brotherhood of

Easter morning a nightmare of

Like everything else touched by
“patent” progress, Easter is a
gimme-gottaget day all cherry-

hardened humanity has same
reason to celebrate.
Let this serve as fair warning
to Easter Rabbits everywhere
that further laziness must not
be tolerated. Unless the 1967

One hundred years of street lighting was the theme of a display at the

O’Keefe Centre Flower Show
//Out of This World"
“Out of lihe Paisit — The
Future” ’ —' was the theme of
the 18th "annuial Flower and
Garden'Show ’ presented by the
Toronto Garden Cluib from Feb
ruary 28 to ■ March 5, at the
O’Keefe Centre.
, As we entered1 the main foyer,
we were almost overpowered by
the spring-fresh fragrance of
massed banks of hyacinths, daf
fodils, tulips, croci, premuk etc.
.An eleven-foot Victorian
fountain played soft waiters and
shedding muted light on this
.entrancing scene were lamps
from the gas-light "era sent from
•Edinburgh for the ■ occasion.
Live birds' -in Victorian cages
twittered happily. 1 •

cantilevered steps, thrust out
over a reflecting pool and-offer
ed a view from a city balcony.
There were modJel kitchen
Windows set up with house'
plants, herbs etc.' There were
apartment gardens, modern
brick gardens, winter; gardens
and greenhouses. . ' ■ •'
There was a flower shop; with
old country flowers- ■—.wbletls,
tulips, daffodils and anemonies
— flown in daily from the
Scilly Islands:
Canada’s schools of landscape
■architecture had distinctive dis
plays and landscaped gardens,
'in full riloam complete with
-trees, pools and walks.
The- Garden of the moon dom
inated the west end of the foy
er. It was wierdly fascinating
and literally “out of this world”.
A new and controversial sculp-,
ture — “Flame Fountain” —
created especially for the moon'
garden by Michael Hayden drew
people back to this spot again
and again. It had -a hypnotic
effect. " " 1 .
This sculpture flame fountain
had rotating moving parts and
multi-changing colored flames
shot up through stainless steel
wedges appearing at different.
levels. The moonsoil was sand
in splashing effect patterns of
white and charcoal, planted
with futuristic cacti in wierd
looking concrete containers.
These “moon” plants were call
ed billbergia, fantasea, guamana,
lingulata and splindis (so help
me!)
Colored glass cylinders spor
adically shot up publish orange
flames. The background for the
moon, garden was. a black bas
ket-weave wall, which also held
strange looking plants stream
ing from huge clamshell con
tainers. . ■ , '
The whole O’Keefe Centre' is
lushly carpeted in thick green
■broadloom' which lent itself to
flower display and also pre
cluded bogged-down arches.
The most exciting class' in the
many.- competitive classes had
five stands, where Toronto hot-
abl’es ; (not 'florists) were in
cited to compete for honours in
an all male “2067 and all' that”
class. ' . ’
The week's most outstanding
qntry was surely that of “Hon
est Ed” Mervish of the Royal
Alex etc. He had a bronze bust
overturned and a bronze- hold
er with filiamery dromilic
Birds of Paradise blooms and
glossy green eucalyptus leaves.
In the foreground' was a scroll
inscribed “God is Dead” pro
claimed by the philosopher
Nietzche in 1896 A.D. This'mes
sage was scratched out and be
low it “Nietzche is dead” —
signed God — 2067 A.D.” ;
Philip .Givens arrangement
“After the Bomb” won a third
prize — shrivelled up brown
and silver.
Cleve Homes “Solution to
Pollution” used > two inverted
tumblers,' ope containing ‘*a
female orchid” and the other
"a male daisy” (I don’t get it!)
JWe were there on Saturday
and the- crowds were queuing
up in front of Gordon Sinclair’s
prize ..winning entry. A black
Japanese container featured flamboyant orange Bird' of
Paradise blooms arid staring
glossily out of the base of each
of the five blooms was an eye
from *a taxidermists’ collection!
of lions’, tigers’ eyes etc. This exhibit literally1 drew the eye
in. fearful fascination. We have
viewed a lot of flower arrange
ments in our time' but this is
the 'first time we had* "the un
nerving experience of one star
ing back with five baleful
jungle eyes complete with black
ptipe-cleaner. eyebrows.'
Johnny Wayne (Wayne and
Shuster) had a “Flour arrange
ment”. Five lovely long-stem-;
med red roses rayed, out from
a vase covered with a Five
