Increase in Dividends
An increase in quarterly divi-
dend rate has been announced
by British Mortgage & Trust
Company, Shareholders of re-
cord at the close of business on
Friday, December 13th, will
receive a dividend of 20¢ per
share, an increase of 5¢ per
share, to be paid on Tuesday,
January 2nd, 1964.
In April, 1963, a change in
method of dividend payments
from irregular to quarterly pay-
ments was made by British
Mortgage, This followed a 20
fqr 1 share split approved by the
shareholders at the last annual
meeting held in December,
1962. Par value of British Mort-
gage shares now is $5.00 each.
In commenting on the
change, Wilfrid P. Gregory,
Q. C. , executive vice-presi-
dent and managing director,
said the increase is made possi-
ble by the growth of the busin-
ess of the company and the re-
sulting rise in net income.

Community .Honors
The McKee Family
LAKELET—A large crowd of
friends and neighbours gathered
at the Institute hall on Friday
evening to honour Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon McKee and family on
the occasion of their recent de-
parture from the community.
Jack Ferguson acted as chair-
man, and called on Mrs. Rob-
ert Wood to read the following
address:
Dear Luella, Gordon
and family,
We have gathered here this
evening to honour you on your
.departure from our community.
You, Gordon, have proven
yourself to be a loyal friend
and a good neighbour by help-
ing in any way you could while
living in this community. We
have always found you to be an
honest, obliging and reliable
business man and so we are
glad that you will be serving us
in your usual cheerful manner.
Although you, Luella, have
been busy with your family,' as
well as helping in the store, you
have found time to participate
in various activities, as well as
serving as president of the Wo-
men's Institute. By your week-
ly contributions to the local
newspapers you have given
Lakelet some much needed pub-
licity.
We know that you will soon
make new friends in Walkerton,
but we hope that you will con-
tinue to think kindly of thepeo-
ple of this community, and that
you will find time to return to
visit us.
To you girls and boys we
would like to say that we shall
miss your smiling faces around
the store, and also in the Sun-
day School and choir at Mc-
Intosh Church. We hope that
you will always carry with you
fond memories of your school
days and early childhood, spent
in Lakelet.
As a token of the high est-
eem in which you are held, we
ask you to accept these gifts.
With them, go out very best
wishes for good health, happin-
ess and prosperity.
Your friends and neighbours.
Presentation was then made
of two matching step tables,
two matching table lamps, and
a floor lamp. The recipients
expressed their appreciation in
a gracious manner.
LAKELET
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Reidt and
son of Newmarket spent the
week -end with Mr. and Mrs.
Ervin Reidt.
Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Jack of
Listowel and Mr. and Mrs. Alex
McGreal of Kitchener attended
the presentation for the McKee
family on Friday evening.
Mr. Ronald Dickert of Ham-
ilton spent the week -end at his
home here.
Mr, and Mrs. Lloyd Klein
of Neustadt visited with Mr.
and Mrs. Ervin Dickert on Sun-
day.
LAST MINUTE IDEA
Personalize a gift of a cot-
ton printed calendar towel by
using sequins in contrasting
colors to mark the date of each
birthday in the recipient's
family.
BELLS
Ringing bells in churches,
for solemn and glad ceremonial
occasions, goes back to about
7 A.D.
In early Britain church bells
tolled for an hour on Christmas
Eve, announcing to Satan the
coming of Christ. At midnight
joyous peals heralded Christ's
birth.
Forcing Winter Blooms
The bulbs most commonly
forced for winter bloom are the
hardy, spring -flowering bulbs,
such as hyacinths, tulips, daf-
fodils and other narcissi, and
crocus.
Horticulturists with the On-
tario Department of Agriculture
suggest using a good loam to
which some coarse sand and
peat or leafmould have been
added. Partly fill the pot or
pan with the soil mixture and
plant the bulbs. Avoid packing
the soil under the bulbs to pre-
vent heaving. Hyacinths and
narcissi (daffodils) should have
the top third of the bulbs ex-
posed. Cover the bulbs with
soil, leaving enough room at
the top of the pot for watering.
For the best display place the
bulbs close together but not
touching, and plant one varie-
ty per pot. Water the pots or
pans after potting.
Potted bulbs trust have a
cold period to develop root sys-
tems. To accomplish this,
place the bulbs in a cool dark
place for 8 to 10 weeks. The
best temperature is between40
degrees F. and 45 degrees F.
For hyacinths 50 degrees F. is
best.. A suitable storage place
is a dark cool cellar or attic.
An unheated garage may also
be used, but make sure the
bulbs are kept in the dark and
do not freeze.
When the pots are filled with
roots, and the top growth is
about 2 inches high, bring them
into subdued light at 50 degrees
F. for 2 to 3 weeks to continue
top growth and let the plants
become accustomed to light.
Then move the plants into the
rooms where they are to bloom.
In order to have a succession of
blooms, plant several pots and
bring them out of cool storage
in succession. Keep the soil
moist at all times; and protect
the flowers from strong sunlight
and from excessive bottom heat
as when situated on top of a
radiator.
ANIMAL IMITATIONS

world are afoot for at-home

lighted.

ling, appearing in solids or

ture is the high fabric boot.
Slippers on the sophisticated
side of fashion are interpreted
in furs, velvets, gold and often
studded with "jewels."
