The T-A joins with
friends and relatives to
wish a happy birthday to
the following:
Mrs. Vera Miners,
Exeter Nursing Home,
who will be 80 years old
April 15;
Mrs. Lida C. Lamport,
(formerly RR 2
Dashwood) Craigholme,
Ailsa Craig, who will
celebrate her 86th
birthday today (April 10).
Remember to write or
telephone The
Times-Advocate with the
names of your favorite
senior citizens who will be
80 or more years old on
their birthdays. It is the
very nicest way to say
"Happy Birthday."
Wasn't that a beautiful Raster
Sunday? It just shows how the
Weather can change from the
first of the week to the end. I
think that was the nicest Easter
Sunday we've had in a few years
now,
I hope all your Easter dinners
went off without a hitch. Had a
telephone call Saturday from a
friend in Grand Bend who had
forgotten to clip the recipe for
raisin sauce . . so, I gave her
the instructions over the
telephone, I trust it turned out
well for her.
Most of y o u organized
housewives will have your
housecleaning all finished, I'm
sure, Many women like to have
that chore completed well
before Easter.
As for me, I like to wait until
I can open the windows and let
some fresh air into the house.
There's nothing like soap and
water and fresh air to chase the
last winter blues from the house.
And I like to have sunny warm
breezy days to hang out things
like drapes and blankets and rugs
and pillows. Such a pleasant way
to bring spring indoors.
Has anyone got
pussywillows? I have wanted
some pussywillows for my
livingroom for a few years now
and haven't been able to find
any. Sunday I saw some in a
home in Zurich and my longing
for a few branches were
renewed.
Speaking of gardening, I have
received a list from the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food of the new varieties of
marigolds, petunias, snapdragons
and asters for sale this year. You
may be as interested as I was so I
include the information here for
your files.
Marigolds are hard to beat for
continuous bloom, variety in
form and color, and freedom
from disease. 'Spanish Brocade'
is a new dwarf variety with 21/4
inch golden-yellow to
mahogany-red blooms.
`Moonshot' is an early-blooming
variety with bright yellow
flowers on 14-inch plants.
Petunias are easy to grow,
reliable, and showy. They bear a
profusion of colorful blossoms
throughout the summer. There
are two major groups, multiflora
with its profusion of small
flowers, and grandiflora which
has larger but fewer flowers.
Both types come in single and
double-flowered forms. One of
the new multifloras is 'Miss
Blue', a double lavender-blue
with prominent veining. 'Pink
Bells' is a new bright pink with
single flowers that are tolerant
of bad weather. All of the best
large-flowered singles can be
obtained in a mixture called
`Royalty.'
Some early-flowering aster
strains will be available this year.
`Dwarf Queen' grows only a foot
high and bears double pink,
scarlet-purple or white flowers in
abundance. These are excellent
for window boxes, solid beds, or
edging plants.
Snapdragons are favored for
their long, tapering spikes. New
snapdragons that will tolerate
summer heat have been
introduced, 'Bright Butterflies'
has butterfly-shaped flowers in
all the bright snapdragon colors.
`Scarlet Supreme' is a double
giant on 3-foot stems.
Zinnias are among the most
popular annuals. These colorful
long-lasting flowers are available
on plants of various heights.
`Rosy Future' has 6-inch flowers
with ruffled and quilled petals.
`Torch' is another new zinnia
with fiery orange blossoms.
Look for some of these new
varieties when you buy your
seedlings this spring.
You may remember the days
when grandmother used to give
everyone a dose of Spring Tonic
about this time of year. That
tonic could have been anything
from epsom salts to a mixture of
herbs, but the most common
remedy for winter-time ills was a
big pot of rhubarb sauce.
It is a little early, perhaps, for
our own homegrown fresh
rhubarb but it should soon be
appearing in the stores, The first
stalks are a little expensive but
you may agree that it is almost
worth the extra cost to put such
a spring flavor on the table.
For dessert sauce cook 4 cups
rhubarb pieces with cup water
until the rhubarb is tender. Add
1 cup sugar (or more, as you
desire) arid cool before serving.
Try it over vanilla ice cream!
If you are in the mood for
something just a little different

I have little doubt there Will
be plenty of spring weddings
planned for May and June. While
June used to be considered the
most popular month in the year
to be married, there is statistical
proof to show that September
and October dates are definitely
in the lead.
As women's editor at this
newspaper, I have more than a
passing interest in the weddings
that take place in this district.
Weddings make first rate news
for the women's section of the
T-A and I'm most anxious to
hear from all the brides in the
area regarding their wedding
plans.
Not that I want to plan their
big event for them. That's the
bride's own personal delight. I
would like to assist wherever I
can though, and it is for that
reason that I intend to begin a
series of remarks in Tea 'n
Topics concerning weddings.
I suppose the first decision to
make (after the date has been
set) is what kind of a wedding
your wedding will be.
You may wish to plan a very
formal affair (not too popular in
this particular part of Ontario);
you may want what your
mother may like to call a "white
,wedding" in the church of your
choice; you may chose a simple
but pretty wedding at home,
perhaps in the family livingroom
or even outdoors; or you may
select an even more informal
wedding service with the
absolute minimum of attendants
and guests.
If you chose either of the
latter two suggestions, this
discussion won't be of much
value to you, but if you plan a
church wedding with lots of
guests and a large reception
there are some decisions you
must make right now to assure a
happy event in October.
First of all, make your
wedding date known to the
priest, minister or rabbi of the
church where you want your
marriage solemnized. He will tell
you if he is available and if the
church will be in use on the day
you have selected. That's so
important to avoid
disappointment after other
wedding plans are completed.
Secondly, arrange for the hall
or the restaurant where your
wedding reception will be held.
Some local halls in this district
are booked eight and ten months
ahead and in a city like Toronto,
for instance, certain popular
spots are booked a year or 18
months ahead!
Other details will fall in place
easier later if you have the
important groundwork finalized
as early as possible.
One Tea 'n Topics reader
came to me last week with a
request that I probe a little to
discover what interest there
would be in a nursery school in
this district.
All I know about nursery
schools could be written on the
end of a pin so I knew I would
have to depend on much more
informed persons.
My first move was to call a
former school teacher in the
area. She advised me that there
are definite regulations covering
nursery schools and suggested I
get in touch with James Coulter,
supervisor of education for the
county of Huron.
A call to Mr. Coulter's office
informed me that nursery school
operation does not come under
the department of education but
rather the Ontario Department
of Health and Welfare.
Mr. Coulter told me it is the
matter of health and safety for
the youngsters in the school
rather than the course of study
they follow which determines
the government affecting
nursery schools,
"It is more of a babysitting
service than anything else," Mr.
Coulter remarked.
So I telephoned the office of
Dr. G. P. A. Evans, MOH for
Huron County. There I obtained
an address to write for the full
information regarding nursery
schools, I will get the letter off
today and report back to you as
soon as I get word.
In the meantime, for those of
you who are interested in the
possibility of a nursery school in
this part of the county, please
get in touch with me, I'll get
your reactions into the hands of
interested parties.
You might like to know that
nursery schools are not new to
Huron County. Mr. Coulter
advised me that a nursery school
operated in Goderich for about
four or five years in one stretch,
The teachers involved there are
now working with retarded
children in that area and the
nursery school was discontinued.
Mr. and Mrs, Clarence Smith,

Mrs. Smith returned home
the day before the anniversary
event after three months in
hospital. Friends and relatives
dropped in during the day to
wish the couple well.
Among their memories are
some recollections concerning
the weather on their wedding
day. Rain fell the night of the
wedding and by the next
morning , it was snowing. They
had "bad weather until May" in
the year 1919.
