Elmer treats .local society The October meeting of the Lucknow and District Horticultural Society was held on the 29th in the Community Centre begin- ning with a smorgasbord compliments of Elmer Umbach. Elmer makes a. point of entertaining the society every year and those in attendance this year were not dissapointed. A short meeting was held following the delicious meal. Robin Logan welcomed everyone and the minutes were read and adopted. Joan Robinson gave a report on the provincial convention held in Kingston in June. It was moved by Mrs. Martin and seconded by Mr. Logan that Jean Whitby may purchase 50 trees to be planted around the village. After the meeting, a program of enter- tainment was presented with Elmer as emcee. Mr. H. Campbell, Jean Conley, Mr. I. Dickie, Mr. L. McDougall and Miss E. Robinson entertained all with serveral musical numbers. Mr. Logan read two poems and played three renditions on the mouth organ. Mrs. B. Henderson followed with piano pieces. One of the highlights of the program was the family of Mr. and Mrs. John Drudge of the Molesworth area who entertained with the singing of some lovely hymns. Once again, a big thanks to Elmer for his participation in the meeting and thanks to all those who attended the meeting.

Even the weather was nice, dry underfoot, warm enough and all around good for travelling from place to place. It was perfect for the occasion. The young folks responded to it having a good time on their rounds gather- ing their treats and enjoying themselves. Just overt 40 persons called here, and as in past years we wrote down their names for this column. The first were our neighbours LCPC INSIDER Grade 4 and 5 We had a math test on Tuesday.
