Civic Garden Centre in Dundas is the Cacti Centre of Canada and more varieties of plants are raised there than anywhere else. There are so many types of cacti - some plain ugly, some odd, curious, and even sweet. No two are alike. They need light for growing. African Violets, at one time always blue, are now almost every hue. They prefer cool growing conditions, and when watering it is best to alternate first from top, then bottom. More plants are killed by over `watering than in any other way. "Miss Martha" said her father always took a small bouquet of sweet peas from his green house when anyone new moved into the neigh- bourhood. He said "flowers speak a language of love". The first man on earth was a gardener. God •is husbandman, and flowers remind us of his love. No two.people are alike - only one of you - so you are very special. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are a miracle same as each plant. It was a meeting to be remembered. Mrs. Fingland thanked "Miss Martha" in a very lovely way. Prize win- ners were; Edna Stewart, Mary Jamieson; Roberta Plumsteel, Cela Beacom, Freda Shoenhals, Ken McCowan, Cathy Rueger, Frances Powell and Florence Elford.

The sloping driveways provide the kids with a great place to develop their skateboarding skills. Some pretty big kids have been practising, too. If gas gets too ex- pensive to keep the Tuckersmith Telephone truck on the road, they may resort to sending Howard out on service calls on the "board". Gravel roads would be a problem, though. If Sandy ever gets both feet on the board, he'd better not tell the chur- ch's board of stewards, in case they suggest he do his local visiting that way to cut down on mileage.
