The flowers were in beautiful abundance - especially the roses. Entries were up over last year, which is always .a welcome trend. In the agangement section, the Summer • Old English' Bouquet class was a particularly fine, ,one. Its many beautiful entries must have given the judge an unenviable task in choosing winners. - The judges were Miss Luella Johnston .of London who judged the horticultural sections, and Mrs.. -R. E. , Wilton who judged the arrangement classes, • Flowers were not all that was offered at-this,show, however. The United Church Women's group had a repeat of last year's successful "Tea Garden" and served tea; coffee, and delicious squares. They also held a bake sale that had people scurrying in to snap up the tasty home -.baked items. A photographic exhibit of early Ontarioarchitecture, borrowed from the Ontario Art Gallery, was displayed in the centre of the room. The , film that . had been planned for viewing never did ,arrive (growl!) — however, a` fine slide display was ,shown continuously throughout the show, on automatic equipment borrowed from Campbell's of - Goderich, who very kindly stepped in to solve the problem. • So, all- in. all, 'twas a very successful ' afterrroon and evening. - ' - The winners were as follows: SECTION I.,CU,T FLOWERS: - Aquilegia, Mrs. E.'
