Titst evening, when the sun dipped behind the earth, I ex- perienced a deep feeling of sere- nity in the presence of so many natural things: the wood fire, the v iiey which drew us nn, the magnetic mountains, the air of peace end silence, the living sky. I was happy to be therm; and, thinking ce. my boyhood, of my very first excursion in the mountains, so like the one we were making now, I said to myself again: `It's just like the first time." -- From • "Mont Blanc to Everest," by Gaston Rebuffat. Translated by Geof- frey Sutton, Puts Dick Tracy In The Shade Lata t kick in the churning world of electronics is moletro- nics, a technique of building am- plifiers and oscillators which promises to make obsolete all present device: such a.a radios, radars and TV sets. Molectronics is micro -miniat- urization pushed to the ultimate. Instead of taking some transist- ors and soldering then into a net- work of capacitors and resistors, thus building an amplifier, you simply take a piece of semi -con- ductor material and (by plating, etching or alloying other atoms to it l you turn it into an ampli- fier directly. Among the Circuits s, far built by this magic ate an audio amp- lifier the ,size ci a dine and a -two-stage vidio amplifier. half the size of a postage .stamp.

Loft to right; Steven, 100 Michael, 81 Patrick, 61 ji'=r10.y, d, cord husband, George. Have you ever seen ten acre.; of flowers,. mostly in b'oo:n? Yes, that's what I said , , . ten acres. And I don't mean big, flat fields with plants in formal rows like vegetables. The ten acres I saw - were quite differ- ent. Just like a lot of separate gardens but with winding paths t h r o u g h shrubberies leading from one garden to another. Some of the gardens were even weedy — which added to their homey appearance! But t h e weeds didn't stop the flowers growing. The overall bloom was magnificent. Rows and rows of iris in every colour and variety, Peonies — double and single. Lr phis with stately mitlti-eol- oured splices. Oriental poppies in a Iovely shade of pink. Red pop- pies, mostly weeds in an uncul- tivated patch. I may be wrong but they looked to me like the wild poppy that grows anions; the corn in England -- and !n Flanders' fields. Poppies may be weeds but they are very beet, tiful, none the less. And of course there were roses, and shasta daisies;; colum- bine.: and lilies. nut I could ee en and on and still not nam them all. One unusual plant was the "yucca." It was iu bud but cot quite out. Someone said the yucca blooms only once its severs years. 1 find it a little hard to ; plain what I found so fascinat- ing about • this garden. Natur- ally I have ;..n beautiful gar - &tie before. some of them bet- ter eultivt•ted, but there vette an unspoilt Ir;elinaa about. this -(.lace that I found most attrac- tive. It had an old-world etntui- ph era , if love even more than the spade, had contributed to its ;trwlh and beauty. Pen'iae, I wai 110t tau fan,' ytr n; :'t the 1. As for as f cetald gather lave ladies, who were great friends, and had a muton intmrc:-t in flowers, start - cd the garden., as a hobby many years ago. They kept it up gear • 61'ter year until the hobby be, celue partly a commercial -von- lure.. One of the partners died a few years ago but the other still carries on. The gardens are called "Powancroft" and are si- tuated in the picturesque vil- lage of Meadowvale, in Peel county, well known as an ar'tist's - paradise It- was just by a stroke of lr.u_l•: that I -visited these gar- dens. Members of our local W,I, were invited be the Meadowsele W.I. to help celebrate their 50th Anniversary. About ten of our member:; -were happy to accept the invitation which was held "Rowa neroft," It was a weil- ergenizcd Lea and a delightful acial get-together. There were over 200 guests and members d we were all seated under eau maple trees that provided -suss the right amount of shelter and shade .. and no mosqui- tocs! The programme included a reproduction of the first meet- ing, all those, -participating were in dresses of that period. Some, I think, were considerably older -- frilly, lacy affairs with won- derful embroiderers flounces. A Ism of lite accessories were a little incongruous but that made the costnrnes all .the more shit: - Mg. For instance, one lady wit', very elaborate. black "ilk dre . was weering. white spike -h' ie slogs, Grandmother, of corn. would have worn black kid, high button boots. Another modish lady had open -toed pumps, re- vealing red painted toe -nails. Can you imagine grandmother with painted toe -nails? There were- also two skits, one of them called "The Gold -Diggers." Five girls dancing in short -skirted costumes, which they admitted were mostly paper and scotch tape — scotch tape in lieu of shoulder straps: Sometimes outdoor activities are 'spoilt because no one can hear the speakers but this enter- prising Institute had set up a loud speaker system and it worked -very well. Oh no, I for- got, there Ivan one hitch. Some- ene blew a fuse end put the "speaker" out of commission be- fore the- meeting even got start- ed. Just. one of those things -- but it was all treated as a joke and added to the fun. G: course, the had a delight - fill tee under the trees. There seemed no limit to the fancy sandwiches and cookies that were passed around although I am quite sure there was a bin - ger crowd than the Meadowvala W.I. had anticipated. We were late getting home as we could not tear ourselves away front the alluring gardens. Just when we thought we had seen every- thing we would turn a corner and there would be another sec- tion of the garden. It, too, had to be explored. So that was my highlight for last week. See what it means te be a W.I. member .. . you never know what unexpected pleasure is likely to come your way — and sometimes, as in this case, only a few miles from (tome. Moral . , . before you start yearning for distant fields make sure you know all the beauty spots in your own local- ity.
