Society holds spring meeting
KIRKTON/WOODHAM
— Neither hail, nor snow,
nor rain could keep
Kirkton Horticultural
Society members from
attending the first meet-
ing of the spring, held at
the Kirkton/Woodham
Community Centre on
May 3 at 7 p.m.
President Elaine
Stephen warmly wel-
comed everyone and was
especially hopeful that no
further winter -like
weather would continue.
The audience gave
enthusiastic applause to
retiring District 10 Jim
Mabee. Anna Petersen is
the newly -elected District
10 director, while Mabee
will proceed to serve at
the provincial level.
Directors Pat Harlton
and Lynda Hodgins were
pleased to present
Horticultural Service
Certificates to retiring
directors, Marjorie Atthill
and Mary Tufts. It was
noted that both of these
women willingly served
in all aspects of society
work helping to create
the efficient well-run
club one sees today.
Director Bob Traut then
introduced feature
speaker Brenda
Gallagher. Gallagher is
employed by the Upper
Thames River
Conservation Authority
and is highly regarded in
the forestry and vegeta-
tive specialist fields.
Using a slide presenta-
tion complimented with
well -researched informa-
tion, Gallagher had the
audience taking copious
notes on the planting,
uses and preserving of
herbs. Participants
learned that herbs are
used in medicines, cook-
ing, vinegars, soaps, and
cosmetics.
Growing and using a
number of herbs herself,
Gallagher capably
answered all questions
asked by the audience.

Fever Rag" on violin as part of the Stephen Central
Public School's annual talent show that happened on
May 5. The show also included students on piano,
dance numbers, vocal duets among other entertain-
ing routines. (photo/Mike Johnston)
Conversations amongst
attendees indicated more
herbs would be grown in
gardens this summer.
A highlight of the
evening was the flower
show. Judge Phyllis
O'Neil praised the 65
entries submitted by 12
exhibitors, reviewing the
placements and com-
menting on the excellent
quality of the show. The
awards are as follows:
most points in show:
Sandra Kemp; most
points in design class:
Louise Young; best
design: Louise Young;
most points horticultural
class: (tie) Diane

A delicious lunch was
served, and society mem-
bers picked up their
plant premiums, pur-
chased plants, viewed the
flower show entries, and
enjoyed further conver-
sation with speaker
Gallagher.
President Stephen
adjourned the evening,
reminding members of
the summer meeting to
be held on Aug. 9 at the
