LOCAL DOG IS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD Seventeen years ago this week Mr. J. A. Westcott journeyed to St. Co- lumban to the home of Joe 'Roach to pick a pup from a litter only a couple of weeks old that was sired by Rex, a fox terrier owned by Mr. Westcott. The name "Tiny" was ap- propriate and has stuck these past seventeen years. Different times in resent years it seemed as if Tiny had just about "run the course" and a new pup was obtained but each time Tiny seemed to revive and out - ..live his successors who • were not quite as experienced at dodging the 'Main Street traffic. Quite deaf and a little blind, Tiny still journeys from the house to the store every day although the odd time he gets lost onthe way home at night. Tiny was seventeen last twenty-fourth of May.

An important pointer to be considered is that the tallest flower should be no higher than one and one-half times the length if shallow, or height if tall of the re- ceptacle. Next the club leader, Mrs. W. Haugh exhibited and named a large variety of wild and cultivated flower- ing shrubs. She gave the members several things to remember on why, when, how and where to plant then. Gladys Chapman read the minutes of the previous meeting.
