HARVEY At one time roses were a lot of trouble and very frustrating, until the last few years we could not control Black Spot no matter what we did, then for a few .years we had fungicides that would keep if fairly well under control, now we have fungicides that will eliminate it. When we compare roses that bloom from late June until frost, with perennials that flower for two or three weeks of the grow- ing season, we have to admit on a basis of results obtained from work involved that roses are away ahead. The rose is the world's fa- vorite flower and every year they are being improved, larger and more bloom, a greater variety of colors and more disease resistant. WHERE TO PLANT Bush roses make their best display when grouped or massed and prefer full sunlight, good drainage, a comparatively level site away from roots of trees and shrubs. Air movement is essential for the health of roses. Never plant climbers against a wall or solid fence, a circulation of air is necessary to dry the foliage quickly after rain and dew. Dampness is the cause of Mil- dew and also promotes Black Spot. A rose trellis should be out in the open, made of cedar of firm construction and as open as possible, with cross pieces 11/2 to 2 feet apart for tieing up the canes. HOW TO PLANT Most any type of soil will grow roses, when you dig the hole you can mix the top soil with the clay from the bottom. I like to dig the holes in the fall and let frost over winter mellow the clay. The holes for the bushes should be dug around 16 inches in diameter and 15 inches in depth. I fill them with leaves and by planting time in the spring you have 2 inches of decomposed compost, cover this with an inch of soil and you still have a 12 inch depth for the root. When planting never allow the roots to become dry; take them one at a time from the sphagnum moss or other material that they come in, emersed in apail of water to your rose bed. Remove any damaged roots and then place the root in the hole and spread the rootlets out fan shape from the center, avoid twisting or crowding. The more root formation you have the stronger the plant. The root is the heart of the bush. Now fill in two-thirds of the hole with loose soil and take hold of the root at the union and jiggle it and at the same time gently lift it till the union— this is the enlarged portion where the bud has been grafted to the understock — is one inch above the surface level of the ground. Now as you firm the soil down tight with your fists you win pull the union down just below the surface where r WETZWIZIMMONMVXM• Mr. E. C. Harvey is Exeter's most successful rose gardener and has over 250 plants in his garden at 149 Main Street. In this and following articles in The T-A he will pass on to fellow amateur rose growers what he has learned by ex- perience in over 40 years of participation in this most plea- sant hobby. Remove the labels and cut the canes back to around six inches. Also remove any dead or twiggy shoots. Water them twice in the next week if it does not rain. You can keep a plan of your rose bed showing the names and position of all the bushes. Stakes in a garden are unsightly. H. T. roses should be plant- ed 3 feet apart and Grandifloras and large growing Florabundas 3 1/2 to 4 feet apart for best results. With plenty of space More and larger blooms are should be and at the same time the roots will be pointing down- ward as nature grows them and the firming will remove any air pockets from around the roots. Now empty your pail of water into the hole and replace the rest of the soil. I do not firm this down so it will do two things; first it will be heaped up around the base of the bush giving it protection from ex- treme heat or cold and second it will absorb moisture readily. It will settle down and level off after a good shower or two. Catholic ladies choose officers The Catholic Women's Lea- gue of RCAF Station, Centralia, met last Monday, April 12. Mrs. George Sheard, spiritual convener, spoke on Holy Week. Evening mass will be offered for the members April 26, This will be followed by the annual banquet. The election of the new execu- tive was held. President is Mrs. Daniel Haight; vice-presidents, Mrs. George Sheard, Mrs. Ron Henry and Mrs. Les Brasseur; secretary, Mrs. L. A. Larmond; treasurer, Mrs. Roland Hache. It has been decided to carry on with the social evenings for the coming year. These will be held once a month from Septem- ber until May. The primary purpose of these gatherings is to provide social get-togethers for the members in the parish. Money raised from these so- cials is divided 50% to the parish, 30% to CWL and 20% to the organization committee to be used for expenses. The parish share for the coming year will be forwarded to Airforce headquarters to provide scholarships for the dependents of Airforce person- nel, Mrs. C.

If the bushes can not be plant- ed on arrival keep the sphagnum moss or other material moist — not saturated and keep in a cool place. Plant as early as possible.

A plan to place a parking lot in the Riverview Park area south of the ARCA office and between Andrew Street and the park road met with sever e criticism from Councillor Ross Taylor, Monday. The area, which presently serves as a ball field and play- ing area, was designated as a parking area by works super- intendent Jim Paisley, a memb- er of the Centennial Committee. Taylor said he was dumb- founded at the idea as it would make the entire field (useless" for sports activities. He pointed out this land had been acquired at a cost of $3,500 to the town and it would be a "ridiculous waste" of the money if the area was turned into a parking lot. Councillor Joe Wooden said he tended to agree that this was not the ideal location for park- ing, but council members could not reach agreement on an al- visits Anglicans This Sunday will be a special day for both the men and women of Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church. The Brotherhood of Anglican Churchmen, at their 8:00 a.m. Corporate Commun- ion and Breakfast, will have as special guest speaker, Amos Kiriro, a teacher from Kenya, East Africa. Mr. Kiriro received his teacher training in Kenya, and has since gained an M.A. de- gree in Education in the United States. He is at present study- ing theology at Huron College, London, and next month will go to take further study at the Ecumenical Institute of the World Council at Bossey, near Geneva, Switzerland, At the 11:15 a.m. service the emphasis will be on the ladies, when "W.A." Sunday will be observed. The Rector will speak about the role of women in the church, based on the women in the life of Jesus. The W. A, Thankoffering will be received at this service. This Thankoffering will be presented with that from other Western Ontario W.A. branches at the Diocesan annual meeting Two-thirds of this money will be used for the training of W.A. candidates, equipment, trans- portation to the field of service, and one third goes to the pension fund to provide a retiring al- lowance for W.A. missionaries. ternate site for parking space. It led to a lengthy discussion and was finally resolved when Taylor presented a motion call- ing for a committee of four council members to view the situation. "When you go up and see what you're throwing away you will change your mind," he predicted. However, an amendment was made that the situation be look- ed into by the Centennial Com- mittee and that they make are- port to council. The amendment carried. A request was received at the meeting from the Centen- nial Committee for a grant of $600 to be used for planting trees and shrubs in the park this spring. The request was approved by council. However, Paisley later re- ported the Committee pow want- ed the amount increased to $1,000 so some road work could be carried on from the Main Street entrance along the river. It was voted to turn this re- quest over to the finance com- mittee for further study. Parkhill dam — Continued from front page more expensive it will get," commented Exeter Councillor Joe Wooden upon hearing the news Monday night. The matter was discussed briefly by council, but conclud- ed when Mayor Jack Delbridge pointed out "there's no more we can do". LIST DELAYS The letter to councils from the ARCA also contained a lengthy resume of the "history" of the dam. It pointed out the scheme was recommended in 1949 and was initiated as apro- ject in 1957. The report shows the length- iest delay came about following the objections of some muni- cipalities to the method of levy- ing the Authority share of the cost. Those objections were made in June, 1961, and it was not until September, 1962 that the Ontario Municipal Board re- turned a decision upholding the Authority basis of levy. Due to this delay the 1958 functional report was consider- ed outdated and the whole pro- ject had to be completely re- viewed. The revised engineer- ing report was not received until October 30, 1963. A communication was re- ceived from Exeter's RAP com- mittee advising that their budget for 1965 had been set at$7,700, same as last year. The $4,200 recreation budget remained the same, while the $3,500 community centres fig- ure was split into $2,000 for the arena operation and $1,500 for the swim pool. That the recreation budget was still the same, despite the fact RAP now had one less major employee since the de- parture of Boom Gravett, was questioned by Councillor Wood- en. Council's representatives on RAP, Mayor Delbridge and Reeve Boyle, were unable to answer the question because neither has attended a meeting for some time due to conflicting dates with special council meet- ings. "We're away behind," Boyle admitted. The budget was temporarily accepted subject to examination by the finance committee. A request for $1,050 of the budget for RAP was ordered paid.
