The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-03-06, Page 70••••, 4 4.4: *ye $: 1' .04 • Since that second township skating party at Goderkch never did materialize (jut no spare time arose in that busy arena's schedule), the Goderich Township recreation council has planned a com- munity card party, to chase the winter blahs. It will be held in Holmesxille school auditorium on Thurs, Mar. 20. Ladies are asked to please bring lunch; the men, a card table. A silver collection will be taken at the door. Such were some of the plans made at the Feb. meeting of the Goderich Township Recreation Council held on its regular date, the fourth Wednesday of the Month, Feb. 26 at the township office in Holmesville. What's the first step in developing -our newly acquired lake front park? Jerry Ginn, township reeve, answered this one by listing the initial plans for 1975: - provide • parking • facilities; fix an appropriate access to' the beach; and provide picnic tables, When the warmer weather arrives, the township residents should be eager to see this ideal picnic and bathing area at' the end of Blackpoint Rd. "Picnic tables for the park" is a special project in mind for the enthusiastic arts and crafts ladies. H.azel McCreath reported that the ladies are already *half done appliqueing blocks for a township quilt which they intend finishing this winter. Tickets will be so n d b the Ontario does not benefit Bayfield, have expressed in- terest in this from the plant identification aspect, John Westbrooke volunteered to seek out a possible outdoorsman as another instructor. Also at the March meeting, it is hoped a summer .sports' program may be set up. Last year's coaches will be invited to attend this meting to assist in the planning. It is hoped that an exchange games program may be arranged with neighbouring townships as well. the recreation council planned their $1,000 budget for 1975: mirror sports $400; crafts $200; township picnic $100; and administration costs $300. The membef's j•;, are still chuckling over the good time they had at the Wednesday night over -16 -group volleyball game under the direction of Doug Yeo. They challenged the ,recreation council members to a game and discovered it was a great night to bolster ones confidepce.

"Our Executive Board," said Elbert •' van Donkersgoed, Executive Director of the C.F.F. after a special meeting at the Federation ()Mee in Drayton 'on March 1, 1975 "could not- endorse the OFA's ideas on ensuring that farming will be financially viable. • "In the first place, the OFA's motivation in calling for in- come protection does not come from concern about tile situation in agriculture itself but because the Governme.nt of Ontario must move to restrict farmers' rights over the development potential of their land by land -Use ptanning and - zoning. This proposal is just -another 'way of demanding compensation for the loss of development rights as prime land. is permanently zoned for agriculture. The C.F.F. is oppoged to any form of com- pensation for those who speculate in. development A day -long quilting patty will soon be held so anyone in- terestedshould keep in touch With Hazel or Marion Powel.

"Houseplants should .be watered- only when the sail surface becomes dry", says Qntario Ministry of Agriculture and Food hor- 4iculturist, R.F. .0arhme.. "Too much water deprives plants'of oXygen and causes ret, so a thorough tkatering once every, six days, is usually adequate. Shaded plants require less water than those in the sun, and recently pruned plants' hould be kept cider than' normal until new growth develops." However, singe everything a plant consumes is in liquid form, underwatering can be as harmful as overwatering. A sandy soil mixture causes• plants to dry out faster than clay or peat mixtures, and the. smaller the plant pot, the more frequently water is needed. When plants grow rapidly or,-, bloom, they also need more water. To prevent the develop- ment of mildeW or rot, water plants early in the day so they have a chance to dry out during warmer daylight hours. • The Baha'i , Faith Teaches,;,, Heaven and Hell are a rate of mind..., fleaven-lptowing, Ufl, derstanding and obeying God's purpose.
