Garden Club News
The Garden Club held their second
meeting of the year on February 9, and
despite the horrific weather of the preceding
day, there was a very good turn out. The
meeting, which took the form of a panel,
was chaired by vice-president, Kay Reid.
The first• speaker was Ray Holley, and
what could be better on a cold wintry after-
noon than to talk about strawberries. He
recommended two leaflets issued by the
Agricultural Office which provided sound
advice for such cultivation. With several
acres under cultivation he described how it
was possible to produce very early varieties
and continue through the season to a much
later date. However, he said that one could
also obtain very successful results in a
small area sufficient for personal needs.
Describing his own methods he said that
he had light sandy soil which was well
cultivated to start with, then fed with
animal manure finishing with a layer of top
soil. However, if one had to deal with clay
this must be well broken up, and he also
recommended fertilizer and worm casts.
Each year in the fall new plants were pur-
chased ( Bright Star, Red Coats and
Sparkle), then in the spring all blooms were
cut so that by the second year the plants
have thickened and produce lush berries
having been well mulched during the winter
period. In conclusion Mr. Holley said that
the large, sweet berries may be picked and
are excellent for eating, preserves and
freezing.
The next speaker was George Chapman
who provided a very interesting demonstra-
tion of the way in which he slips geranium
plants. It was he said, both satisfying and
economical to propagate plants in this way,
and as an example described to fine
specimens which he had purchased and
from which he had taken 48 cuttings Forty-
two flourished as was to be seen by the
magnificent display at the front of his house.
Leda McAlister, who also acted as
moderator, provided a lively account of the
way in which to produce green stuffs at a
time of the year when they are so scarce.
Using a damp paper towel in a plastic meat
tray, the seeds were sprinkled, covered with
another damp towel and kept in a dark place
to germinate maintaining the moisture. She
suggested alfalfa, Mung bean sprouts,
Fenugreek, wheat, oats and nasturtiums all
of which were excellent for sandwiches and
winter salads. Altogether it proved to be an
interesting and stimulating afternoon as
was demonstrated by the close attention of
the audience throughout the session.

St. Valentine's Day proved a perfect day
for the wedding of Abby Champ and James
Armstrong. It would be difficult to
remember a more beautiful ceremony. The
handsome ushers garbed in formal grey
suits with elaborately tucked dress shirts
and peachy pink silk ties and rose bouton-
nieres set the stage for the wedding party
soon to arrive.
Guests were early, all gussied up in their
best attire. The groom's mother, Mrs.
William Armstrong, arrived in a stunning
gown of sapphire blue, fashionably gathered
at the hip line. accented with a triangle of
brilliance, with a similar trim at the
shoulder.
The bride's mother, Mrs. David Koontz
announcing the imminent approach of the
bride and her attendants, brought a lot of
oh's and ah's of admiration for the lovely
gown she had chosen.
The color was described as violet, a most
unusual and very becoming shade of a
diaphanous material with a floating kind of
jacket and satin trim. Then the

bridesmaids, fine of them no less di :•ssed in
peach pink lace over satin with puffed
sleeves and long fitted torso with a big satin
bow at the back, such as little girls wore
before World War I, and then a flared rather
long skirt. They had nosegays in their hair
and carried a spray of roses.
The bride was radiant, coming down the
aisle on the arm of her grandfather
Brigadier Morgan Smith.
Wedding dresses just have to be beautiful
and Abby's was no exceptions The bodice
was appliqued with lace and brilliance and
the full length skirt flounced at the hem with
a long train also having four frills of the
silky fabric the dress was made of. Her long
veil was gathered to a particularly pretty
brilliant encrusted head piece.
The Knox Presbyterian Church is
beautifully suited for weddings, with its
wide centre aisle and exquisite stained glass
windows. There were candelabrum, with
sheaves of pink carnations in the chancel
and also lar;e bouquets on the Communion
Table.
The Rev. G.L. Royal M.A. M.Div. per-
formed the ceremony with a gentle homily
on being friends, as husband and wife. The
organist who delighted the guests with his
music was Lorne H. Dotterer and John De
Jager sung the Lord's Prayer and a solo
Eternal Life during the signing of the
register.
The attendants were, Maid. of Honor
Debora Penhale, bridesmaids Brenda Arm-
strong, Mary Lee Champ, Carol Fryer and
Catharine Smith. Ed Wammes was best
man, with Doug Armstrong, Rick Penhale,
Paul Fryer and Adam Champ as ushers.
The wedding reception was held at the
Stanley Township Complex near Varna with
Brucefield United Church members cater-
ing very ably for the 200 and more guests,
who enjoyed the sumptuous repast provid-
ed. Long tables were strewn down the centre
with cinnamon candy hearts and there were
pink carnations at intervals on them also.
The receiving line was a long one with
Abby's father Henry Champ, here from
England for the occasion, her brother
Adam, and her mother Sally, stepfather
David Koontz, James' parents Maude and
Bill Armstrong, grandparents of the bride
Morgan and Edith Smith, who looked most
charming in a long peach colored gown,
needing a wheelchair, but game as only
Edith knows how to be, and all those lovely
bridesmaids and handsome ushers, very
relaxed having seen the couple safely wed.
I would like to tell you of the speeches.
They were many and excellent, all spoken
with great warmth and affection and a lot of
amusing teasing of the bride and groom, but
space does not permit. It really was a lovely
weddinyg.
