COME ONE, COME ALL HAVE A BALL
Brought to you in co-operation with
HMO Productions
The Kirkton Horticulture
Society celebrated its annual
Festival of Flowers on August 17.
A full house gathered to ap-
preciate the beautiful flowers
that somehow survived the
miserable weather of the past
few weeks.
There were more exhibitors
both in the adult and junior
sections and their exhibits looked
lovely on the new green table
coverings. The hall was made
more beautiful with the addition
of posters done by Grade 7
children announcing the Festival
of Flowers and Grade 8 - the 35th
Anniversary which is to be
celebrated on October 5. Pupils
from Upper Thames at Mitchell,
Usborne Central and South Perth
Centennial contributed
The president, Mrs. Ellis
Strahan presided over the
meeting which opened with
singing of 0 Canada ac-
companied by Mrs. Marjorie
Johns.
Several bagpipe selections by
Sandy MacDougall from
Fullarton were much ap-
preciated, as well as a piano solo
by Terrie Brintnell and a vocal
duet by Stephanie and Janet
Hartwick, accompanied by their
mother, Mrs. Orrie Hartwick.
Fill vacancy
for board
Stuart Bond, 47, of Lam-
beth was elected this week to
complete the 1976 term of Mid-
dlesex County Board of
Education trustee W.R. Pigram
who has moved from the county.
Mr, Bond was elected on secret
ballot by the board's trustees
following presentations by each
of five applicants for the ap-
pointment. He served previously
on a local school board and since
October 1975 has been a com-
munity representative on the
Middlesex board's early school
leaving committee. . .
In other business, the board
approved an amended agreement
with the London Board of
Education which provides
secondary school education for
county •students who live in
Delaware and Westminster
Townships. Under,the
agreement, the county boa rd will
continue as it has for past years
to buy secondary school
education services from London,
The board also considered two
requests that it provide services
to other groups. The first came
from the Department of Indian
and Northern Affairs asking for a
supervisory officer and a music
teacher at Mount Elgin School.
The board agreed in principle tc
do this and asked its ad-
ministrative staff to review the
exact nature of the services
requested and to draft an
agreement for the board to
consider.
The second request was from
the Salvation Army House of
Concord in London Township
asking that the board provide
services under an agreement
similar to those that the board
has with Craigwood and Ausable
Springs Ranch Schools. The
request was referred to the ad-
Ministrative staff for study.

More exhibitors than ever '
make flower show success
Mrs. Jean Ratcliffe presented
the awards in the poster com-

stressed that a poster must be
informative or it has little value.

Mrs. Buelah MacDougall and
Mrs. Marjorie Johns presented
the award for the best, gladiolus
in the show to Mrs. Mary Neil.
This was awarded by the
Toronto-Dominion Bank.
Highest points totalling 93
went to Mrs. Tom Hern - second
to Mrs. Joyce Strahan with 88 and
third to Mrs. Doris Jones with 78.
They were presented with gifts.
Again Mrs. Strahan stressed
the fact that it takes everyone to
make the show - and after all that
is what Horticulture is all about
"Make Ontario Beautiful."
Rev, J. Siebert, Stratford, was
the judge for this event and had
most favourable comments to
make on both the appearance of
the hall and the exhibits
The very ,interesting speaker
for the evening "Farmer Bill"
Rammeloo, assisted by his wife
Elva was introduced by Mrs.
Frebis Stephens and thanked by
Mrs. Buelah MacDougall. Mr.
Rainmefoo has greenhouses at
R.R. 2 Dashwood which is just off
the Crediton road between Shipka
and Crediton, He also has flower
shops in Hensall and Grand Bend.
Mr. Rammeloo gave many
hints regarding growing of house
plants saying, "We have to know
our plants - which ones require
cool, warm or hot conditions.
Then soil, light and shade are
important, but most of all - don't
overwater. Your plants like food
just the same as you especially if
they are blooming."
He gave many hints when
transplanting. Use rainwater if
possible, for watering or tap
water that has set over night to
let the chemicals in it evaporate.
MA, Doris Wardell, Mrs.
Harper Kraemer and Mrs.
George Murphy were the winners
of the three beautiful spider
plants which Mr. Rammelloo
donated.
Before the sale of plants Mrs.
Strahan announced that the three
schools in question had each been-
given five boxes of petunias and
that a lovely "Thank You" had'
been received from two little
girls at Upper Thames.
