Phone 526-75N9 Auburn Horticultural Society visits Londesboro greenhouse The Auburn Horticultural Socie­ ty’s September meeting was held Wednesday evening, Sept. 14 when 38 members and three guests visited the Bouman greenhouses near Londesborough. Shirley and Luke Bouman wel­ comed the group after which Luke described the commercial growing of alstroemerias, flowers which have beauty and lasting qualities as cut flowers. The group was shown the differences in colour and growth habit and a very complete explanation of the work involved in this enterprise. The group returned to Auburn Community Hall for the rest of the meeting with Maureen Bean, President in charge. Ruth Jardin and Irma Cartwright also helped prepare this meeting. Anne Vin­ cent, secretary read the minutes of the June meeting. Nancy Slater gave a reading. Maureen announ­ ced that there are now several books on various Horticultural topics available in the Auburn Library as well as the book on Canadian gardening the Society placed in the library this summer. Irma Cartwright gave a reading about the old hand pump. The Hymn sing planned at Auburn church Rev. Dave Snihur conducted the morning service at Knox United Church and Mrs. Bernice Gross was organist. Call to Worship was read alternately followed by hymn “Sing Ye Praises”. Rev. Snihur gave the Prayer of Approach and also gave the announcements. The Children’s song was “ Alluia” and Rev. Snihur gave the children’s story, “Hammy the Hamster”. Hymn, “The Family of God” was sung. Rev. Snihur read the scripture from 1st Timothy followed by prayer chorus, “My Jesus I Love Thee”.

Sorry to report that Mrs. Ellen Johnston is a patient in Clinton Public Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Anderson and son William visited with Allan Shackleton and William Krause Fall colour tour Oct 2 at Wawanosh The Maitland Valley Conserva­ tion Authority will hold a celebra­ tion of the autumn season when the 1988 Fall Colour Tour is held Sunday, October 2, from 1 - 4 p.m. at Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area. The afternoon will feature horse- drawn wagon rides, guided walks through the conservation area and hot apple cider. The newly expand­ ed Wawanosh Nature Centre will alsobe open. Admission to this event is free. Fall brings vibrant colours and treasurer, Elliott Lapp gave a report on the general operating costs for the year. Hydro $120; hall rental $72; watering and mainten­ ance of the hanging baskets $345; care of Manchester Garden $100; cutting grass $50; plants and bulbs, $120; Association Fees, $50. The total operating costs were $859. New wire hanging baskets also paid for $70. Many thanks go to those people involved in the above and this year especially to Gerri Beimers who kept the flowers in the hanging pots blooming through the drought. The Horticultural Society could not exist without the volunteers as well who helped in many ways to keep the village a plac^to be proud of. Thanks to those whotnake their own properties a plus for their neighbours as well as themselves. From the older folk all the way down to the kids, each doing his bit, we can have a village second to none. The meeting ended with hos­ tesses Jayne Giousher, Lillian Leatherland and Viola Raithby serving lunch. During this time Jean Plaetzer sold berry bushes, etc. which netted the Society $11.

The brilliant sequel to a classic picture. Our strategies for even better perfor­ mance reached their highest level in the OPTIC II tube used in our premium monitor/receivers. Once we'd developed the dark tinted OPTIC picture tube for improved contrast, we recognized an opportunity to further accentuate the black/white contrast ratio by increasing the output of the electron gun But conventional CRT’s can't handle more output. If driven too hard, the life of the electron gun degrades - and so does picture quality. I~ill~ ITI LUU I I IIL Create your own special effects Electrohome wants to keep you on the leading edge of performance In this spirit, we offer an opportunity to experience the newest direction in video . . . digital television Digital video breaks down the picture into thousand^ of "bytes” just like a personal computer. Once the picture is "digitized", the microprocessors in the system can manipulate them for a variety of special effects. With an external video source such as a VCR. a second real-time image can be displayed in any corner of the mam picture (Picture-in Picture). It's position can be adjusted at the remote, as can switching of the images - the full screen image becoming the inset and vice versa Freeze frame (PIP inset only) allows you to bring golf swings or back­ hands to an analytical hall and Strobe displays a sequence of four stills which update as the program proceeds Multi- Channel Search uses the same four- screen display and systematically displays a freeze frame of every channel available from the tunerOPTIC Super VHS: Provides more than 400 lines of horizontal resolution (in both SP and EP). This is well over the broadcast signal resolution (about 330 lines) and nearly double that of standard VHS playback (220-240 lines) S-Input: If your television has a special S-VHS input, your movies get an additional boost in quality. The CVKG99's S-VHS connector sends the black-and-white part of the signal (where the detail resides) separately from the color portion. There's no "dot-crawl'' at image edges, and no "cross-color” interference in patterns. The S-input connection is not necessary to enjoy the S-VHS improve­ ment in resolution. Compact & Light-Weight: Weighs just under 3 lbs including viewfinder. Is easily operated with one hand 60 Minutes Of Recording Time: The C-format S-VHS cassette will record up to 60 minutes in EP and 20 minutes m SP The cassetie inserts into a special adapter tor use in full-size S-VHS and VHS VCR's. Fully-Automatic Camera Operation: Camera automatically adjusts focus, white balance and iris control as you shoot lor hassle-free operation CCD Pickup: Charged coupled device pickup is highly resistant to shock and vibrations High-sensitivity design works in light as low as 9 lux Low-lag characteristic greatly minimizes image trails, streaking and burn-in. A little lesson Electrohome stands OPTIC II utilizes a Multi-Step Focus electron gun. Its four large-aperture electromagnetic lenses provide more control than the two relatively small lenses found in conventional designs On larger screen sizes. Dynamic Beam Forming keeps the electron beam round and perfectly focused, even at the tube's edges and corners. To top it off, we even tint the phosphors in the screen to give colors a more lifelike look. in contrast Electrohome’s solution is a rare earth element found in Scandinavia: Scandium oxide Adding Scandium oxide to the electron gun cathode prevents any deteriora­ tion, even at high brightness levels Scandium oxide provides a significant 50% increase in electron beam output. So we can now turn our attention to the last stop on the light path The Screen Our 50% higher output enables us to darken the OPTIC II faceplate Look at the screen when the television is off and the difference is immediately apparent Variable High-Speed Shutter- Captures action minimizing image blurring Shutter settings can be adjusted to be either l/60th. 1/250th, 1/SOOth, or 1/lOOOth ol a second Contrast is the apparent visual relation of black to white. It dictates definition ■and detail To increase contrast, you have to create blacker blacks and whiter whites. Raising the white (or "bright­ ness") level is the job of the electron gun in the CRT (cathode ray tube). How do\you create black? Turn off your set and check out the screen. This is how the electron gun "creates” black. It simply turns off the beam. The grayish color you see when the set's off is as black as the screen gets. Our eyes see it as black only through the contrasting white level of the picture. The closer we get to true black at the screen, the greater the contrast. out in contrast In order to improve our picture tubes' ability to produce higher contrast levels, we've developed a specially tinted OPTIC' faceplate. It helps create those "blacker blacks" which contribute to overall picture sharpness and detail Electronic Viewfinder: For viewing what you’re recording. Enables on-the-spot playback with bi-directional Speed Search and a selectable Quick Review function for quick, accurate program location. A date and/or time stamp feature time-logs your movies when recording if you wish The viewfinder screen also displays a tape counter, recording speed indicator and "low light" warnings. A leveling indicator visually informs you of the camera's alignment with the horizon (much like a pilot's instrument). The viewfinder displays can also be turned off if you prefer 6:1 Power Zoom: High-performance lens design enables you to get in on the action quickly and accurately Lens macro position provides extreme close-up capability Address Search Record: 99-position Address Search Record allows quick access to selections when played back on VCRs equipped with Address Search TVvo-Way Power Supply- Operates off re-chargeable battery, or AC power Time and date functions are powered by a separate lithium cell 887-6851 delicious scents to Wawanosh.
