Colorful rock garden at the main intersection of Grand Bend, developed over the past decade by Mr.
and Mrs. Emery Stebbins, will be torn down by the new highway and bridge to be built this fall.
Thousands of plants and stones established by the couple will be taken out to make room for tem-
porary bridge which will be used, while new span is under construction. At right are the Stebbins'
grandchildren, Larry, Sandra, Glenda and Cathy Desjardine, children of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Des-
jardine. T-A photos.

This summer many people
are going to miss the beautiful,
landscaped flower beds and
shrubs on the bank of the Aus-
able River extending from the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Emery
Stebbins to the water's edge
beside the bridge at the main
intersection at the entrance to
Grand Bend.
A portion of the land has
been purchased by the depart-
ment of highways and over it
will be built a bailey bridge to
take the traffic while a four
lane bridge and highway are
being constructed in late sum-
mer.
Already the barberry, rose-
bushes and shrubs have been
removed and shortly the stone
work will go too.
The history of the beauty
spot reminds one of the famous
Butchart Gardens in Victoria
B.C. which were built from an
old quarry. Likewise when Mr.
and Mrs. Stebbins moved to
their present home 11 years ago
the river bank was a mass of
weeds, tangled wild shrubs, old

maids were gowned alike in
cocktail -length sheaths with de-
tachable overskirts of peau de
faille. Their matching head-
bands were highlighted with tiny
veils of blue silk net. They
carried cascades of white car-
nations edged in blue.
Little Miss Valerie Anne Ca-
rey, Exeter, niece of the bride,
was flower girl in a pretty
pink frock. She carried a basket
of white and yellow daisies to
match her hat.
Larry Carey was best man
and ushers were James Nash,
London, James Carey, brother
of the bride, and Gary Rock,
brother of the groom.
A reception was held at the
Colonial Hotel, Grand Bend,
where the bride's mother re-
ceived guests in a three-piece
pink suit with black and white
accessories.
For travelling in eastern
points of USA the bride changed
to a three-piece suit, cinnamon
accessories and corsage of •
white carnations edged in green.
Mr. and Mrs. Rock will re-
side in London.
Bouquets of tulips and daf-
fodils were on the altar of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel church
for the marriage of Miss Pat-
ricia Carey, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Carey, RR 8
Parkhill, and Clare Rock, son
of Mr. and Mrs. John Rock,
Parkhill, on Saturday, May 18
at 11 a.m.
Rev. Father J. E. Kelly per-
formed the ceremony and Paul
Dietrich, London, furnished the
wedding music and accompanied
the church choir who sang "Ave
Maria" and "On this Day 0
Beautiful Mother."
Given in marriage by her
father the bride chose a floor-
length gown of French peau de
faille. The bodice was styled
with lily point sleeves and shal-
low scoop neckline highlighted
by Guipure lace applique. A
double tiara of pearls held her
illusion finger-tip veil and she
carried a cascade of 18 red
roses with white carnations.

ings.
They set to work to clean it
up and they both shake their
heads as they remember the
hard task they had. Meanwhile
they were always on the lookout
for "nice" stones and gathering
them and getting them home.
With these, low stone walls
were built marking the garden
plots. They also built steps to
the water's edge.
"It wasn't sweat, it was
blood" said Mr. Stebbins who
estimates he put more than
5,000 stones into the area.
Gradually shrubs and rose-
bushes were established and
annuals planted. The couple dug
up 18 rose bushes this spring.
Barberry formed an edge for
many of the plots. They re-
called spending $76 for bar-
berry plants alone. When they
first planted annuals It took 40
boxes to make a showing at
all. In later years the seeds
have fallen and come up the
next spring.

particularly flowers, could be
the reason for all this hard
work. And Mr. and Mrs. Steb-
bins found satisfaction from
the people who stopped their
cars on the opposite bank to
admire the beauty.
BOTH ENTHUSIASTIC
Which of the two gardeners
has the "greener thumb" would
be hard to say or perhaps the
enthusiasm of one has rubbed
off on the other.
The large sunroom window
across the front of the house
and facing Highway 21, is always
filled with flowering plants and
interesting foliages.
A Japanese umbrella palm
now in blossom is about two
feet high and was bought in a
dime store some years ago. A
friend bought one at the same
time but it did not live and
Mrs. Stebbins started one for
her friend from her own.
It would take too long to
describe the beautiful rex be-
gonias, the geraniums and the
fuchsias but Mrs. Stebbins' hob-
by are her cacti.
She has over 40 varieties
and is continually snipping off
a young plant or starting a

"I would, just love to find at a
florist's or at a five and ten
store a kind of cactus that I do
not have" she said.
Cacti take so many fascina-
ting shapes and forms that they
call for unusual containers and
unique arrangements. Mrs.
Stebbins makes the most of
them both singly and in dish
gardens.
The Stebbins' indoor garden
will continue to thrive, since
their house will not be affected

ever, the outdoor display will
be in doubt for some time. "I
don't know what it will be like
after the new bridge is fini-
shed," said Mr. Stebbin s.
"We'll just have to wait and
see."
Will he rebuild the rock gar-
dent? "I'm not sure," he indi-
cated, looking wistfully at the
results of his decade of labor
which will be destroyed. Then,
a twinkle comes into his eye.

MAXIMUM BENEFITS AT MINIIVIUM COST
Many of us have been looking
forward to a Canadian counter-
part of the American magazine
"Consumer R eport s". Final
arrangements are now being
made for the first issue of the
new testing magazine in June.
It will be called "Canadian
Consumer" and there are to be
16 pages, 6x9 inches. Each issue
will have at least two test re-
ports plus other articles. In
the announcement ,it reads,
"More pages and more tests as
soon as we can afford them!"
It will be published six times
a year--June, August, October,
December, February and April.
(Monthly when the CAC can af-
ford it).
The subscription rate will be
three dollars a year. This rate
will apply for all new subscrip-
tions and renewals reaching
National Office after June 1.
National office address is Con-
sumers' Association of Canada,
National Office, 1245 Wellington
St., Ottawa 3, Ontario.
As Canadians let us help
this CAC effort--the members
are doing much to help consu-
mers with their marketing pro-
blems.
The last CAC bulletin con-
tains this story: Recently an
alert housewife sent to CAC a
pink plastic bag in which pota- ,
toes were being sold in her
retail store. This completely
colored bag, she complained,
made it impossible fOr buyers
to judge the quality and condi-
tion of the potatoes.
The Food and Drug Direc-
torate has ruled that fruit and
vegetable bags made entirely of
tinted plastic are deceptive and
contrary to the Food and Drug
Act. When tinted plastic is used
for bags for these products, one
side of the bag must be Of Clear
plastic to allow the contents to
be clearly seen.
We understand that the pots-
toes in pink bags have been:
removed from 'the market; be-
cause they violated these regu-
lations".
