(News -Record photo) ••• After Christmas care important for Poinsettias During the Christmas season the poinsettia with its br-iThantly colored leaves seems to be a universal ower. Although the • plants 1 • originate in Mexico, cuttings are grown in Ontario greenhouses, and the finished plants are readily available across the province. , This traditional Christmas plant is commonly known for its blazing red "petals" which are not petals at all - they are Modified leaves called bracts. The real flowers are small and inconspicuous by com- parison, and ate found -in the center of the colored bracts. When looking for a healthy poinsettia, check for brightly colored bracts ,and clean, dark green foliage. The fullness of th plant and the number of c ttings per pot gener'ally det rmine the cost. Poinsettias are available in a varjety of sizes suitable for centerpieces, table decorations and floor plants. A sunny, draft -free location with temperatures of 22 degrees C (72 degrees F) in the day and 18 degrees C (66 degrees Fl --at night are best for poinsettias, says • Mr. McNeill. Plants should be given lukewarm water only • • Smile Myrt: "How can I get. my husband to tell- me- about his business affairs?"

TO FROM , •- - * Except Items already at Sale Price What's all this talk- about repatriating our Canadian Constitution? I thought it was always here. The Canadian Constitutio'n is really a collection of many laws, customs, tules (both Written and unwritten) ,that co -exist with the main con- stitutional document of the British North America Act. This British statute of 1867 basically sets out the division of powers between the provinces and the federal government or Parliament and has always remained in England because of lack of agreement 'for various reasons, between the provinces and the feds. As to what procedure should be used in bringing it back or in amending it. The B.N.A. Act cannot be repatriated. since' it was never here but can, if the governing powers so desire it, be partiated. & SOn T. Pryde Ltd.

He claims he has a mechanics lien to huld,mycar Until 1 pay in fUll. Is he right? He's substantially right because a mechanics or ar- tisans lien does indeed give him the right to hold property until he's been paid in full, and he could also, in some cases, sell the goods for satisfaction pf the debt. It's unfortunate that the man at the garage w,onit be more ,reasonable .but „he's acting within the law. .n.'• .7•'' • • dI1 . • SA .1.
