Mrs. Alvin Mundell, president of the Sunodical, Washington trip Last Thursday grade 13 history students and some grade 12 history students left for Washington D.C. The bus left South Huron at 7:30 a,m, The students arrived at the Metropolitan Hotel in Georgetown at approximately 11:30 p.m. Friday was a busy day with the students visiting Capital Hill, the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court Building, the National Gallery of Art, the Natural Archives'Building, the F.B.I. Building, the Museum of Natural History and Ford's Theatre. The students saw a play that night at the Theatre. The students specially enjoyed the tour of the F.B.I. building. They were able to look into the laboratories and saw a machine gun demonstration. The play at Ford's Theatre was excellent. It was a tremendous play about Martin Luther King. At the end of the play the audience joined hands and sang "We Shall Overcome." It was a unique experience. Saturday was spent touring the White House, the U.S. Treasurey Building, and the National Museum of History and Technology. The Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial were visited. The students saw John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts and the Arlington National Cemetery with the changing of the guards. The students were unimpressed by the American architecture because of its classical design. They were impressed by the pain- tings, the displays and the monuments they saw, The Arlington Cemetery left an impression on the students who saw it, The thousands of rows of stones was quite a sight to see, The students also saw bits and pieces of the Bi-Centennial Cherry Blossom Parade with Pearl Bailey as Grand Marshal. The students shopped in Londmart Mall in Arlington, Virginia Saturday night. Most students felt there was not much of a difference in prices as compared to Canada. Sunday morning at 7:00 the students left Washington with a few added detours. They returned at 1:00 Monday morning. The history trip was especially beneficial to the grade thirteen students' understanding of the American government. The students are now more appreciative of our Canadian government. You've just journeyed back from that very refreshing week of no school. Not the slightest thing to do with school crossed your mind that past holiday week. As you go through your classes that first day back, you sudden- ly realize it's back to the old grind. Receiving your exams, that will either make you feel secure, or give you a good reason to shove your nose in the books, is a rather tedious process. And then the projects and essays are piled on, along with the lecture that there is only a few months of real work left, and there's a lot of work to cover. Of course there's that odd kid who comes back beautifully tanned, while your as white as a sheet, Just to make you feel good, they highlight their great tan with white clothing. This adds to your glumness and then to top things off, the little piece of paper that says it all, will be sent home the following week "Report Cards." At about this point in time you decide you could use a holiday! stein siding The 22nd Annual Meeting of Victorian Order of Nurses (Ontario) was held in Toronto on Tuesday April 6.

Loving him The torture of having so long to wait Putting my mind in such g mixed up state. Hoping maybe he'll come around tomorrow Knowing darn well it will bring only sorrow. Now, so many days have gone by And still I sit wondering why. Why doesn't he at least try to phone? And why is he leaving me all alone! Where is he, will he come back? What did my personality lack? All these things bring so many fears All these things bring so many tears. Please, don't let him go away I refuse to live unless he stays Seeing him brings so much to me If he'd only come back I'd make him see! The past couple of years has seen a large increase in the availability and consumption of "tropical green plants" in Ontario. Most department stores, grocery stores, cash and carry outlets, plus the conventional retail florists, have recognized the increased consumers' in- terest in having plants in their homes. As a result, these mer- chandising shops have a large quantity and selection of foliage plants. But there have been problems at both the wholesale and consumer levels with both the purchasing of and caring for these plants. There are three basic items to consider when buying a plant - the source, the soil mix and the plant's appearance. A plant will have either "happy" or "sad" signs to caution you in advance whether your dollars will be well- invested in buying it. The source is the most con- troversial - whether the plant was grown here in Ontario or im- ported from one of the southern states (usually Florida). It is fair to say that a plant grown in Ontario will outperform and outlast a Florida grown plant in your home. To better understand why, we must consider how the plant groWs. Simply, the green leaves ab- sorb sunlight and produce food(carbohydrates), which is then utilized by the plant to grow and maintain itself:At a certain level of sunlight, the amount of food produced is sufficient to Maintain the plant. This is called the plant's "compensation point". If a plant receives less light than this level, it will die and if it receives more, the extra food produced will be utilized for growth. A plant that is grown under high light conditions (such as in Florida) will have a higher compensation point than the same type of plant grown under lower light conditions (such as in Ontario). Now when the Ontario homeowner buys the plant and subjects it to the reduced light in the house, the plant with the lower com- pensation point (the Ontario- grown one) will outperform and outlast the competition.
