The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-04-24, Page 21WOMEN 'S Oak 01111 4iC Spring is here! ! The ladies of Woman's Day Out could readily believe this after watching slides shown by Mrs. Jean Barnett last Wednesday. We started our slide trip. in New York at the Rochefeller ' Centre with Easter Lilies and Daffodils. From there we journeyed across the ocean to the Tower of London to view the. chrysanthemums and see the ,grounds and gardens around Buckingham Palace. Then on to Edinburgh with lovely rose gardens along the sunken garden walk and viewed the floral clock. We then made our way to St, Andrews, Scotland with its many rose gardens and ivy walls which were a joy to see. We toured the Highlands where a profusion of rhodendrom and wild broom along the lochs met our eager eyes. On the way again to Switzerland where we saw gardens of roses, spring bulbs,, chrysanthemum gar- dens and many chalets covered with bright red geraniums and roses. , To Milan, chrysanthemums the national memoriam flower; Rome, gardens of the Vatican.; Florence, Courtyard of the Old Palace; Naples, Don Jon Castle grounds; Genoa where we were entranced by the "floral ships, the Monument to Christopher Columbus. Pisa with the gardens in Pegli; Sicily the Palermo Cathedral gardens, , bathing beach' with flower beds; Monaco where of course we, stopped at Monte Carlo. Now we are back home again stopping--th see the—tulips-4n Ottawa and see the Parliament Buildings; Niagara Falls, • School ,,of Horticulture where numerous gardens and' parks, are in bloom; Kingston to see, Upper Canada Village; the Welland Canal; Stratford where you find lovely parks and gardens; London to '§ee gar- dens and parks on view there especially at Springbank Park and then back to Goderich where we stopped at Mrs. Barnetts home to see close ups of the many roses on view there. To add more to seeing all the -74oliely flower gardens, we were shown just how attractive you can make the flowers look in different containers. One very unusual one was a very dainty arrangement in a cup and saucer. Of q.ourse the Spring Flower show where choice blooms were displayed so charmingly was another at- traction. We all wish to thank Mrs. Barnett for showing usa bit of Spring color in advance while we all are waiting for those first blossoms to burst forth. Next week, we will be reporting on our Fun Day White Elephant Sale and would like now to say a special thank you to Mr. Harold Lamb, auc- tioneer, for helping us with our sale. There will be no Woman's Day Out meeting on April 30th as children areiiut of school for the day. Our next meeting on May 7th will be slides on Africa shown . by Mrs. Lambert and daughter.

He hopes to get a nucleus of bike owners together to get the idea off the ground and expand to as many members as wish to join. Activities that have been: suggested for the members are seminars on bicycle safety tips, .maintenance and good riding manners, day long excursions, races, time trials to test fitness of riders, over night and r 1 be based on a time trial ac- cording to Mr. Peacock. He said a course could be laid out in town, perhaps from Huron Road to Saltford and back, and each week the members could ride it trying to improve their time. A time improvement would obviously mean the rider is in better shape for the workout. No membership fees have been set for the club. The costs pould be kept to a minimum with memberg,paying for social events or seminars as they happen. 41 •.y+ „a, ,,,,,,,,,44,„,,*;„wq44; 04014*,;40;4444f"'—.0444,t.„ ) "ra • is, • «...0:,,o, far 40.. a GODERICH4IGNAL-STAR, THURSDAY APRIL, ?el, 197 Youth fined s15O foras WHAT'S NEW AT HURONYIEW e Seven new residents were welcomed to the Home at the old time music and sing song program last week.
