THE FLOWER SHOW
The Flower Show on Saturday was
an unqualified success. The exhib-

Asters and gladioli were ` the most
numerous exhibits. Purple asters,
white ones, asters of a peculiar sed -
dish shade, filling' one whole room.
The hest flower in the show was a
large feathery pale pink aster, indeed
many ,claimed that it should have
been in the sun -flower class. Talk_
ing about asters,' Mr, Codk has 1500
plants in his garden and we can
assure everyone, that they are worth
seeing:
A particularly beautiful exhibit
among; the gladioli was .a dark -red
spike.: It was a rich ruby -red; and
perfect in shape.
Then there were lovely fluted
;petunias, big curly pansies and sun-

A WARNING
On Tuesday while Mr. acid Mrs.
D,P, . Schwartz were driving through'
town on their way home, they
passed a number of .,boys in front
of the Royal Bank. One of the
boys threw an apple which struck
Mrs. Schwarz near the temple, Burt_
ing• her head; as may; be imagined,
and breaking her glasses..: The
start that this would naturally 'cause
Mr..Schwanz made him take his
hand from the wheel for a moment
and, the car: swerved towards the
ourb. , Quick .action on Mr," Schwanz's
part averted m bad ,accident.
Congratulations are1 duethese
boys on the thrills this occurrence
must have given them: We doubt
the fact that they .were of `average
mentality, so after throwing'' the:
apple they probably ran away and
could not enjoy the 'results. 11
they are caught, however, it may.
be serious because' this sort of thing
comes under the head of. criminal
offense.

fetching thing.
In front of thea: town hall singing;
contests and public epeal ing; contests-,
were staged. The group singing
was verygood and the young speak-
ers are to be congratulated' on their
