The flower classes were for the best carnation with a white ground, for stocks, roses, dah- lias and geraniums and a "sold collation at 2s- 3d each will be provided for members and visit- ors op tharribirarrriinire-- , "Eenty:four -cottage gar ens were xada-imtr616.- • • BROWNIE'S • DRIVE-IN SHOW STARTS AT DUSK Come as late as 11:00 p.m. and see complete show. • yz......1-."1,••:•Koctr,` WED THURS.; 4U°' July 8-9-10 .• • "Under The Yum, Yum Tree" JACK LEMMON CAROL LYNLEY ° EDIE ADAMS (Adult Entertainment) Colour Cartoon SATURDAY and MONDAY July 11.13 ‘Do'novan's Reef" JOHN WAYNE LEE MARVIN DOROTHY LAMOUR Cartoon Colour TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY July 14-15, Academy Award Show • • Best Actor SIDNEY POITIER in 'Lilies Of The Field" Cartoon 1 THURSDAY and FRIDAY July 16-17 "FLIPPER" CHUCK CONNORS LUKE.
