Elaine Bell read the Scripture, which was followed by Mr. Hinton leading in prayer. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Elaine Bell in the absence of the secretary. It was decided to have the Brucefield play on April 23. A committee, composed of Jack Cald- well, Edna Deitz. Joyce Broadfoot and Mrs. Herb. Jones, was chosen to arrange the next meeting.

Two films, one a trip to Alaska, and the other a "Song Of the Mountains," were Citizens of Seaforth The Streets Committee on your Town Council is preparing an outline of work to be done this year. To draw up a comprehensive program which will give the maximum benefit to everyone, we require a complete picture of conditions in all parts of the town. You know conditions in your particular district. Vie are asking your assistance in making this survey. We have three limiting factors in the matter of town improvement: the three M's—Manpower, Material and Money. If these factors are treated intelligently with a full knowledge of conditions all over town, we should hope for a marked improve- ment by the end of the year. You will realize that it is not prac- tical to do everything in one year, but you will know definitely what will be done this year. Here is the procedure on reporting any faults in drainage, sidewalks, streets, etc. Put it in WRITING; send to the TOWN CLERK, SEAFORTH; keep it brief—just tell us the fault, the location of the fault, and your name and address. We would like to complete this survey as soon as possible as we expect to have a Government expert on municipal drainage analyze the survey for us. We have a request or two to make at this time. Firstly, don't expect YOUR problem to be attended to immediately, although we will investigate every report as soon as possible. Secondly, the members of the Council are 'businessmen volunteering their SPARE time in your interests. Please make the reports IN WRIT- ING to the TOWN CLERK—not verbally to members of the committee. We feel this program should show results. ,. a ask your co-operation. EDMUND DALY, Chairman Streets Committee shown. Between elms ,a reading was given by Mrs. E. Caldwell.

Leary made a request for permission to build a low-level bridge through the Thames River. The clerk was instructed to write Engineer McGeorge, Chatham, for advice on this. Council adpourned to meet again Monday, April 2. Hidden Treasure Science finds hidden treasure in most unlikely places. The common cabbage has long been known for its vitamin and mineral content, and now research is being done on one substance found in the cabbage that is beneficial to wounds, and another that may help to ward off the common cold. This Cinderella from the vegetable patch has al- ways been a desirable addition to the menu—serve it often, in a var- iety of ways, cooked or raw. h Your Daily Dozen—Not Half Dozen Don't let your daily dozen be just a figure of speech if you are doing exercises to improve your figure. By plodding away at the exercises set for you, you can wear away those bulges—provided always that you bring your diet into line. Don't start to reduce unless you first con- sult your doctor to make sure that there is no health condition caus- ing the overweight. Infant Death Sudden death of small infants has often been wrongly attributed to "mechanical suffocation" such as bedclothes lying over the child's face. In many cases it has been found that a respiratory disease. not an accident, caused the child's death. A doctor should be con- sulted at the first sign of cold or any form of respiratory disease in a baby, and adults suffering from such conditions should never be al- lowed to come in contact with the child. When the mother has a cold and there is no one else to handle the infant, she should cover her nose and mouth with a gauze mask to protect the infant from conta- gion. (Continued from Page 2) ed this spring will affect the farm income for several years to come. Hence the best seed to be had is likely to be the most profitable in the long run, according to K. E. Fallis, Fieldman for the Crops Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. He points out that supplies of Canadian -grown seed of some of these forage crops is rather scarce and a good deal of seed is being imported. Origin of the seed plant- ed may prove quite important to 'Ontario farmers, since seed from more southerly climate may have lost some of the qualities of win- ter hardiness. This does not mean this seed will not grow in Canada, but it does mean that the chances of the plants surviving several Can- adian winters may be appreciably fewer. So that farmers may know some- thing of the origin of the seed they purchase, the Seed Act provides for the coloring of red clover and al fella seed imported from countries vi Waler't Wan .ar dill's: ••olild be bul .o .4..f'tlfe of the Grime othe. .riagated eerie - ties w. a is .L rte., Ir, any North . tate „ be stained one per eel ethyl violet before being imported .n Cat.a,.a.

They plant a half acre of corn or potatoes when only a few rows would be ample. They buy two or three ounces' of a cer- tain flower seed when just a med- ium sized packet is all that is nec- essary. It is far better to attempt a little less and do the jab better without killing ones self. When it comes to equipment they make the same mistake. They get a big garden tractor where one of the little chaps would do all that is necessary and be easier to handle. Usually a one to two horsepower machine is advisable where the lot is less than an acre. This will turn much easier than the larger trac- tors and in a small garden there is a mighty lot of turning. Of course one can hardly expect to plow heavy land but where possible it is best to hire that job done and keep the small tractor for the cult- ivating, lawn cutting, pumping and the other jobs it will do, and do well. They Don't Laugh Now Everyone knows the story about the city man who figured what it cost to grow vegetables. There were a lot of laughs once when vegetables were dirt cheap. They don't laugh so much now. And as a matter of fact the man or 'woman who really knew freshness never laughed anyway. Money just can't buy vegetables that will compare in flavor with those grown right at the door and prepared while the dew is ,still on them. Particularly is this frue of suoh things as corn, peals, baby carrots, leaf lettuce and similar delicacies. Grown quickly on good soil there is as much dif- SAVINGS INTO SOIL into the bush to cut pulpwood. ... for example, there was young Joe in life was whose great ambition to own a farm. The land he warded was in the North country — and did not cost much. But it would take a few years of hard work to pay for it. The young man went It was hard work and there was no way of spending his eamings in the woods. But when at last he came to town it was Spring! and it paid well Joe forgot the farm he wanted in the joy of having money to spend- Soon, his first hard-eamed down payment on the farm was gone. Joe, sadder but wiser, returned to well. He opened a the woods. This time, he laid his plans carefully and Savings Account with a Branch of The Dominion Bank nearby. He sent his pay cheque to the Bank each month for deposit in his Savings Account and asked the Manager to make payments on the fans he wanted so much„ his savings into the soil and, today, he owns his farm ..

THE DOMINION BANK ESTABLISHED 1871 Terence 'between these and the bought kind as there is between black and white. Yes, for the fam ily that appreciates highestquality is good business to grow a few veg- etables even in the city backyard. Where Space Short Of course where space is limited one does not go in for big, bushy vegetables like potatoes, or for sprawly pumpkins which cover so much room. It is best to concen- trate on those things which grow quickly and yield heavily in family meals and take up a minimum of space. In this category come let- tuce, onions, radish, beets, carrots, beans, staked tomatoes, one or two hills of cucumbers and, mostly be- cause you can't hope to buy them really fresh, a few rows of small type garden peas. One can get a little extra by alternating rows of late and early kinds of vegetables, by planting the staked tomatoes around the edge of the garden. Practically all vegetables like fine, rich soil, frequent cultivation, a little commercial fertilizer to push growth and also watering, when the weather is dry. To permit uniform development they should be thin- ned. The real secret of tender veg- etables is to keep them growing quickly, to use when they hit their best. For most of them the season can be extended substantially by making a succession of sowings at two-week intervals. For a Big Show Almost anyone almost anywhere in Canada can have a showing of flowers the neighbors will envy with half a dozen packets of seed or a, few flats of started plants and an hour or two spent outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. Some flowers, admittedly, do need a bit of babying and they are worth it, too, but what we have in mind now is a big show for little money and little work. To fit that pattern will 'bed$rhy of these: Petunias, asters, zinnias, marigolds, alyssum, corn flower, balsam, cosmos, nasturtium, portulaca.
