This mo (4, comes with deep re- gret, It brings back a day we will never forget, You fell asleep without a goodbye But our memory of you will never die.

STACEY: In loving memory of Doreen Stacey who passed away August 2, 1974. We watched you suffer and we watched you die, But all we could do was just stand by. When the time came we suffered too, For you never deserved what you went through. God took your hand and we had to part, He eased your pain and broke our hearts. You fell asleep without goodbye, But memories of you will never die. Your resting place we visit And place your flowers with care, But no one knows the hesr _.rta lee Whe we walk away and(ave you there.") If tear drops could build a stair- way And memories-alane,. We would walk all the way to heaven And bring you home again. -Sadly missed and ever remembered by her husband and family.

Commission on violence hearings tobegin soon Ontario's Royal Commission on violence in the Communications Industry has announced in news- paper advertisements throughout Ontario that it will begin hearings in the fall. The Commission was estab- lished "to study the possible harm to the public interest of the increasing exploitation of vio- lence in the communications industry". Its Terms of Refer- ence are: "1. To study the effects on society of the increasing exhibi- tion of violence in the com- munications industry; 2. To determine if there is any connection or a cause and effect relationship between this pheno- menon and the incidence of vio- lent crime in society; 3. To hold public hearings to enable groups and organizations, individual citizens and repre- sentatives of the' industry to make known their views on the subject. 4. To make appropriate recommendations, if warranted, Mulches needed Gardeners should investigate mulching as a way to produce better plants through the hot, dry summer - especially gardeners who are planning a vacation in July or August. on any measures that should be taken by. the Government of Ontario, ‘by other levels of Government, by the general public and by the industry." The Royal Commission on Vio- lence in the Communications Industry has three members: The Hon. Judy LaMarsh, P.C., Q.C., LL.D., teacher, lawyer, broadcaster, former Federal Cabinet Minister, who chairs the commission; His Honor Judge Lucien Beaulieu, a professional social worker and lawyer, who is a former foster parent, Legal Aid Director, Crown Attorney, now a judge of the Family Division of the Provincial Court, and Scott Young, newspaper columnist and broadcaster who has written several children's books, novels, biographies and television docu- mentaries.

Black plastic sheeting or bark chips are more expensive and should be used on special garden beds. Mr. Gomme recommends that the soil be shallow cultivated and well saturated before the mulch is applied. Spread it evenly, and make sure that it's packed closely to the base of the plants. After the growing season has finished, the mulch can be plowed or dug into the ground to improve the soil for next year's garden. R. F. Gomme, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food, says: "A mulch can include almost any material which is applied to the soil surface and acts as a barrier to prevent weed growth, but retains moisture and helps to ° `stabilize soil temperature." The mulch should permit the rain to seep through, yet be thick enough to smother weeds. Its depth will depend on the height of the plants, but a depth of 2 to 3 inches will be acceptable in most gar- dens. Peat moss, straw, sawdust, grass clippings, cocoa beans and wood chips are popular mulching materials. These organic mulches are inexpensive and flora and fauna oi' the I akeiet Lake area..
