"Goldenbell forsythia, a favotite in many gardens, and Pussy Willow, easily found during walks in the woods, are the shrubs most commonly used for this purpose," sayS Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, D.B.

These are usually- the .brightly colored young stems covered with swelling buds. Place the stems in A vase of water in a warm room and in a few days they will be in full bloom,. • Mr, McNeill urges caution tri cutting the stems: "You dOn't have to ,cut down the whole bush to have a good display. Four or five stems in a vase make an excellent bouquet." counties. This year each school board was free to set its own dates for the week -break which. simply compounded the committee's problems. Teams were reluctant to enter if their break didn't coincide with the tournament. Also due to the new format this year there could be more youngsters who need, billeting for a longer period of time. People who took boys in last year were contacted again this year and Mr. Chisholm claims there could be some problems unless there is more response from the public. •The tournament is nota Lions project. It is a town endeavour and the support is needed from the townspeople to uphold the Goderich tradition of, being 'congenial hosts.
