Society Project Early thiS year the society's executive decided to make one • of their 1962 projects the beau- tification of the plot at the God,erich end of the new bridge, lying betweenCiledOnia Ter- race and the North -Pier road-. The idea received the blessing of the Councilearly in the year. Efforts were made to ob- tain a survey Of the.area' which falls from the Caledonia Ter- race exit on to Highway 21 to- wards the bridge. As this was not forthcoming the _society undertook its own survey and subsequently presented its Pro pose's to the Parks Committee. The actual area to beplanted forms an acute equilateral tri- angle, rather like a piece of Pine River chPese, with the base at the elevated end. The result will be that anything planted upon it will be pre- sented to firemen approaching Goderich from the north in the form of a wedge., It will there- fore display its full area to oncoming eyes. Care"has' been taken to site the planting area so as not to block the view of traffic exiting from either Caledonia or the North Road to Highway 21 for this junction can support no further complexities. The plant- ing area, described above, hay- ' hig_been_approyed by the Parks Committee, ,the planting pre- posals were submitted $o the society and are now about to be sent to the Connell for rati. fitation. The idea is to- accent the fall of the ground and to grade the trees from south to north. To this end three Nor- way spruce will form the base ef.the triangle. In front of these will be, in triangular formation, three slower growing and there- fore g lower, blue grey Kost r spruce. The remainder of the triangle is propased to be fill- ed:With ,ten shrub roses of the Rosa Hugonis variety, which, in late May, Will be a mass of yellow bloom and thereafter Will present a further contrast in green shades with their light ' lacy I °liege rising to some eight feet and equally bushy. So, from base to apex of the plot we shall have the dark green of the spruce, the blue grey of' the Kosters and the light green of the shrub roses. Admittedly the full effect of this plan will not be observed for a few years because the size of spruce which can be suc- cessfully planted is limited. However, in the -fullness of time, it should offer a most im- pressive facade to those ,ap proaching up the hill from Salt - ford. The society is very grati- fied to be able to make this small contribution to the fur- ther beautification of our town. PORTER'S,HELL PORTER'S HILL, Aug.
