CarolSteckle speaks t
Introducing the speaker,
Mrs. Carol Steckle, at Mon-
day's meeting of tale
Bayfield Garden Club, Mrd
Jean Bennett said that this
was truly a case of a lady
needing no introduction, as
the nurseries of Mr. and
Mrs. Steckle were well-
known and popular with all
garden lovers in the area.
Mrs. Steckle, who iden-
tified herself es Carol (one of
the four Mrs. Steckies in the
business) told her audience
that it was a family concern
with the added advantage
that they all enjoyed their
work and found it very
rewarding.
It seemed appropriate, she
said, that she should talk
about the jobs to be under-
taken
nder
taken at this time of the
year, and one of the first
items to be considered was
pruning of trees, shrubs and
roses.Much depended oneiii iii&
sveatiier s but Mas:
Steckle recommended that
as soon as it was dry enough,
lawn fertilizers should be ap-
plied, taking special carenot
to damage border plants.
Preparation of soil to
receive new plantings helped
to assure good growth, and
Mrs. Steckle advocated a
mixture of 50 per cent peat
moss as this kept the soil
light; also partial removal of
the pot, which would
ultimately disintegrate, well
tamped • earth around the
plant and ample watering.
Stressing the importance of
the latter, Mrs. •Steckle sug-
gested placing a bucket of
water alongside the plant
with two nail sized holes at
the base. This allowed the
water to penetrate slowly
over a prolonged period. .
Awareness of economic
factors as well as the impor
tance of fresh foods in the
diet had stimulated a
greater interest in the grow-
ing of vegetables, and early
planting was recommended.
Another -Useful rip Was to"-
mix plantings of carrot and
radish seeds. The latter
grew quickly and helped to
identify the rows.
On the subject of bedding
plants, Mrs.. Steckle recom-
mended careful considera-
tion of lay -out, color com-
binations, contrasts and
flowering sequences, • and
she suggested ways in which
color, height and flowering
could be used to the best ad-
vantage.
In conclusion, she advised
her audience that an exten-
sion of the nurseries this
coming year, would enable
advisory material and infor-
mation to be available. This
was a service that was being
introduced to assist
customers in the selection
and care of plants, promo-
tion of healthy growth and
methods of dealing with
diseases, etc. Mrs. Steckle
also invited her audience to
pay them a visit in order to
see what was coming along

ay of Prayer held at Trinity
By Helen Owen
With the sunshine as an ad-
ded blessing, some 60 people
made up the congregation on
Friday last at Trinity
Anglican Church, where the
ladies had undertaken the
organization of this year's
World Day of Prayer in
Bayfield.
The theme, "The Earth is
theLord's" was prepared by
Native American Indian
'Women, and stressed the im-.
portance of ecologi-
considerations in the world
in which we live. According

Holy mackerel! Is my body ever wrecked this week?
You bet your sweet halloo it is. How does one get in
such a condition. Let us debate that for just a moment
or two. Many factors could affect the physical well be-
ing of one's person. Too much Buckeye, the lump in the
bed, falling down numerous times, too much Old Bailey
with half and half (Buckeye chasers and bran muf-
fins), roast duck with orange sauce or just a touch too
much of the good life. Never fear, it's not any of that
stuff. I'd probably have to put it down to too much exer-
cise or not enough Popeye food. Spinach is roughage.
Before I became temporarily disabled, the Moleman
and Fifty came for a visit one evening about supper -
time. The Mole was telling me that `Lent' is upon us
and it runs 40 days and 40 nights until Easter, during
which time you "Are supposed to give something up."
The Mole and Fifty gave up boozing. What makes this
visit significant is that the TV set was on and it was a
news program. All the men had on suits and these little
wires were coming out of their ears. Usually it was
their right ear. Quickly analyzing the situation, we
thought maybe they were robots or maybe electric -
powered clones.
Not knowing the answer we tuned in Dr. Who on the
educational network to find' out what was warping the
minds of children these days. The three of us knew that
'Dr. Who' was on because Fifty read it in the TV Guide
while we opened up a couple ales. The content of that
program is over my head. From now on I'll stick to
Captain Kangaroo and the Funny Company.
It's hard to cheat on the crossword puzzle in the back
of the TV Guide. The names of the stars in the puzzle
are never listed with their show that week. I think it is a
conspiracy against me and I often wonder why I pay 60
cents when I can't even do the crossword. And so, I
hear the beer they named after me, Budweiser, is go-
ing on the market in Ontario as a domesticated import.
I must quaff a case and see if I can be any the "wiser".
We were over at Tirn and Nora's place the other
night for a mug of hot chocolate and a friendly game of
euchre. Things were going well until I reached across
the table to pick up the loot. In returning to my seat I
managed to wipe Tim's favorite mug onto the floor
with my elbow. This mug went flying through the air
and hit the hardwood floor at about 100 kilometres an
hour and smashed into thousands of tiny pieces. Poor
Tim, I offered to buy him a new one to replace the one I
had murdered. As a consolation I invited him to come
over to the 'Hollow' andbreak my favorite mug. He
declined.
Well, that's my monologue for this month. Bet you're
ecstatic. Say good night to the Hereford Head. Good-
night Hereford!
The members of the
Bayfield Euchre Club met
last Wednesday at the
Municipal Building and nine
tables of cal'ds were in play.
Ladies' high was Emma Cox
and the ladies' low was
Mabel McCllnchey. Reg
Wilson took the men's high
and John Lindsay was the
men's low. The most lone
hands went to Bruce McClin-
chey.
The club would like to
apologize to its members as
it is necessary to reschedule
the euchre and bridge party
from April 1 to April 15. This
is because the Clinton
Hospital Group and the
Agricultural Society already
have similar parties planned
for April 1.
race were divided into light
and dark. To the dark skinn-
ed was given the gift of
perception, and to the light
skinned the gift of recording
and doing. Thus, only by the
sharing of these gifts could
the greatest gift be achieved.
The beautiful service in-
corporated the essence of
this concept, not only in its
context, but in RS' structure,
which involved all present. It
included the congregation in
a particularly moving litany,
reminding them of the
wonders of creation, the
devastation -• that was man
made - and the healing which
still might be achieved, and
the need for self sacrifice in
creating a new earth.
Mrs. Dorothy Crocker of
Goderich was the speaker,
and, entirely in keeping with
the message contained in the
service, presented her
listeners with a lively and
lucid interpretation of the
story of creation, . and the
knowledge which had
subsequently emerged for
our enlightenment. She urg-

the Parish Hall where the

they had provided tea and

say - "I always enjoy this

that there was an increased

Mrs. Steckle said that this
