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.
