Sunday guests with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Gingerich and Melvin, were Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Sch- wartzentruber, St, Agatha; Mr, and Mrs Mose Schwartzentruber, Baden, and Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Steckle. Mrs. Allen Schwartzentruber, Bonnie and Jimmie, New Ham- burg, spent the weekend with re- latives and friends in this vicinity, and returned home with Allen Schwartzentruber on.

Mr. and Mrs. Peter Steckle were Sunday visitors with Mr. As the leaves begin to turn, gardeners will be doing the same —only their turn will be in the direction of rake and shovel, for the fall planting project. And this should be the order of the day until the end of October, at least. Why plant in the fall? Horti- culturists with the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture say that the soil temperature at this time of year is ideal for active root in- formation. The probability of good rainfall is higher during the fall. Most trees and shrubs may be moved successfully. Their tops may be dormant, but the roots will remain active until the end of October. Any trees whose movement presents a problem (Silver Birch, Copper Beech and tap -rooted trees) should be left where they are until the spring. Conifers should not be subjected to hot weather after being trans- planted. Since the tops are al- ways growin". they tend to dry out much more easily with the heat. And make a point of giv- ing special protection to conifers for the winter months. Old Christ- mas trees are favorite tools for this. And who would dare forget bulbs. Try group planting rather than the usual formal arrange- ment. Roses are usually not available from the nurseries until late Oc- tober. Just be sure to give them good winter protection. There are very few areas in Ontario which can give roses a non -damaging winter. ompiete Service WORK — SPR Y PAINTI',:G RENE SISSON, formerly of Listowel, is a full, licensed body me- chanic, with 15 years ex- perience at two different car dealers in Listowel.

In r' ayf ield Horne A gang of London youths who partied in the Hazelwood cottages early in September, appeared in court at Goderich before Magist- rate D. E. Holmes, and were fined a total of $750. The seven boys and two girls were about 17 years old._ Provincial Constable Sims de- scribed the "mess" and said he found eight cases of beer empties, tomato soup all over one wall and the place looking as if a bunch of pigs had been in it. Mr. Hazelwood reported there were three carloads of young peo- ple. He found mud on the bed- clothes, a pillow slit in three places, a screen door split, broken crockery and bottles and a mat- tress that had to be burned. "If they got this beer from a bootlegger, it is too bad," said Mr. Holmes. "The counties of Huron and Perth have bootleggers, but from what I have listened to in other courts not under the Can- ada Temperance Act, they have just as many as we have. I don't think the Act makes a great deal of difference as far as the boot- leggers are concerned, but it is too bad, these youngsters of 16, 17 and 18 years of age. When they get up into the old age clas-i like myself they will get an idea of what alcohol will do. Eight or nine cases! It is a wonder they left the building intact." o Fertilize Shrubs And Trees During Fall (By our Hensall correspondent) Mr. and Mrs. Laird Mickle spent. last Thursday in Ridge• town, visiting the former's moth- er, Mrs. George T.

It's your servant, waiting your pleasure to be read --today, tomor- row, or next week. It's a record for you to read, or keep to read again, or discard; not a voice nor a picture for an in- stant and then gone forever. It's the bringer of news tidings, not a carrier only of the commer- cialism of the market place. It's the record of a day when a fleeting moment of glory descend- ed upon your house for all to re- member and those who come after to know. It's the handful of clippings that bring tears and fond smiles of re- membrances to your children and children's children, when, on the eventful day, they must share what was once you and yours. It's you on your first day of school and at your graduation. It's you as a little boy, a bride- groom, and a father. It's you as a little girl, a bride, and a radiant mother. It's you—of you, by you, for you! If you fertilize your trees and shrubs this fall, you'll be throw- ing a triple -barreled attack again- st poor growth, insect pests and disease. That's what horticultur- ists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture are saying. A good lawn fertilizer, such as 10-6-4 or 8-6-2, is also the best bet for use on trees and shrubs. And the best time to apply it is when the leaves begin to fall. For small trees and shrubsT ap- ply at a rate of 1/2 cup p square feet of area covered. Spread evenly on top of the ground by the crown of the plant. If the plantings are on grassy sec- tions, be sure that the grass is dry before application, to prevent burn. As in the case of lawns, it is a good idea to spread half the required amount of fertili- zer first. Then finish by apply- ing the rest at righ angles to the first application. Use either the reliable hand -spreading method or a push -cart type of applicator. Let the spacing and location of plants tell you which to use. For larger trees, take the diam- eter of the trunk about shoulder height. Then use 3-4 pounds of fertilizer for each inch of trunk diameter. Here are a few tips to lessen the chances of fertilizer burn on lawns where shrubs and trees are located: * Be sure that the grass is dry. * Sweep the lawn with a broom or rake it to knock any lumps of fertilizer off the grass. * Water -in all fertilizer thor- oughly. and Attends Funeral *� We, Malcolm Dougall attended, the funeral on Saturday, of bei aunt, the late Miss /kettle MVttiste ard, 83, of Chesley, a native of Brucefield and resident of Chesley for 40 years.
