To the ladies of the audience, and perhaps to some men, the fashion show held moments of in- terest too. With Betty Campbell as commentator and girls of Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 modelling garments which they had made. It was easy to pick up hints for the coming Easter parade. The folk dancing with girls of Grade 9 in full skirts and Bermu- da shorts, was interesting to watch in a colorful array of costumes. In the square dancing from Grade 10, with Joyce Miller call- ing off and Ken Ducharme as fid- dler, it was amazing the number of boys who can dance. They all looked very attractive, especially sitting on bales of hay, chewing sticks of straw. The modern dancing was a mix- ture of ups and downs. It was the Grade 12 girls interpretation of a ball game and a boxing match. To some who aren't sure whether that was a jump to catch a ball or a fall, it was a jump, and she did catch the ball, and the only rea- son Rose Siemon let the water be thrown on her after being knock- ed out was purely patriotism to the school. The girls of Grade 11 were real- ly cute, dressed as pickaninnies, with their white curly hair, red with white polka dot ties and hand- kerchiefs, white shirts and black pants. Their shuffle dance was in perfect timing, and in case anyone wondered who the solo was, it was Ruth Sills. A humorous play called "Our Dream House," was acted out by Marg. Stuart, Nora Reynolds, Ar- lene Diegel, Joanne Beuermann, Neil McGavin, Ken Thompson and Jim Axtmann. Vocal and instrumental acts were enjoyed between acts. It looked like Old Man Winter was trying to help us get a holi- day and on Wednesday he finally succeeded. The buses were un- able to get in for either the snow• ing or blowing and the town stu- dents only held school in the morning. Nevertheless, it was a great help, not only to the • ones who had to study, but the boys in the school who are now playing for the Ontario Midget "C" title. It gave them a chance to rest up before the final game Thursday night. Question of the week: Marg., does the Treasurer of the Stu- dents' Council spend much money at night? .

REQUESTS CHANGES TO HALL; USBORNE COUNCIL MEETS Representatives from the Elim- ville branch ofr the Women's In- stitute were on `hand at Monday's meeting • of Usborne Council to re- quest changes being made to the township hall to make it more use- ful for meetings. Reeve Pincombe presided and councillors in attend- ance were Harold Jeffery, Harold. Hern, Clayton Smith and Hugh Love. Mrs. Charles Stephen, Mrs. Har- old Bell and Mrs. Gilbert Johns interviewed the council regarding the addition of kitchen and toilet facilities to the township hall. Af- ter discussion the council decided to build an addition on the west end of the present building, of a sufficient size to provide for a kit- chen, toilet facilities, and a vault for the storage of municipal re- cords. Court of revision was set for April 11, for the Flynn Municipal Drain, the report of which was passed at this meeting. Tenders were opened -for the construction of the Moir Drain, with Frey Bros. the successful bid- ders at their tender price of $626. Other tenders opened were: Robt. Rowcliffe, $670; Inglis Bros., $747; William Campbell, $770, and Aw- rey Martin, $800. Treasurer was instructed, on motion of Hern and Love, to cash all tender cheques in 1955. Arnold Cann and Horace Del - bridge, representing the Federa- tion of Agriculture, presented Brucellosis petitions signed by cattle owners in the township. One hundred and ninety-one cattle owners voted in favor of the by- law. After careful consideration, council decided not to act on the petition or pass the by-law, as 191 owners did not make up the required 66 2/3 per cent of the cattle owners in the township. A reduction of arrears on ,1954 taxes was reported by the tax col- lector. All owners in arrears for three years were contacted by the collector as instructed by council at a recent meeting, and the tax arrears have been reduced to $6,914.31. Road superintendent was in- structed to contact land owners adjacent to roads which are plan- ned to be closed, with a view of disposing '?f road allowance. If a buyer can not be found. the clerk was instructed to engage C. P. Corbett, O.L.S., to survey the pro- perty. Advertising is to be placed by the road superintendent for tenders for weed spraying on roadsides and supply of material for work to be done during week of May 23. Tenders are to be in for the April meeting of council. The superintendent's report was passed and included road accounts to a total voucher of $1,922.77. Sdbject to the approval of the Ontario Department of Highways, the road appropriation by-law, pro- viding for road expenditure of $40,600 was passed. Receipt of $12,931.10 to the gen- eral account was reported by the treasurer. This included the bal- ance of the 1954 road subsidy from the Department of Highways of $11,881.96, and $60 to the roads and bridges account. Current ac- counts amounted to $828.06, in- cluding rebate of the Provincial Aid to drainage grant to ratepay- ers on the Heywood Drain. Council declined to make a grant to the South Huron Agricultural Society as long ashelp is expect- edfor the Feeder Calf Club. Statement of debenture debt from the Town of Exeter, re the High School, was filed, as was correspondence from the Depart- ment of Highways, re approval of increase in road superintendent's salary; from the Department of Lands and Forests on approval of tree planting by-law for 1955; from Suth Huron District High School Board, re 1955 requisition of five mills, and from the Department of Highways giving approval of road gravelling contract to low bid on- ly.

IT'S YOU (By Harvey Agnew, M.D., Pre dent, Ontario Hospital Association) Even in periods of greatest pros- perity there are always a number of residents in this, or any coun- try, who are unable to meet the cost of illness requiring hospital care. These patients are classified as medically indigent and, in those cases where the municipalities in which they reside accept liability, a portion of the cost of each day's confinement and care in the insti- tution is paid by those municipali- ties. The rates pair are fixed by the Public Hospitals Act of On- tario but areconsiderably less than the actual cost of the op- eration, confinement, treatment, drugs, meals and so on. Part of the, difference is contributed by the Provincial Government. Because of this situation the problem of steadily -rising losses on indigent hospitalization has be- come one of the major concerns of the Board of Governors of many public hospitals. R HOSPITAL si- public patients and is always with- out charge. All but the smaller general hos- pitals, too, have an out-patient de- partment where sick or injured individuals, unable to pay, may receive treatment. It is some- what similar to a visit to a doctor's office. In addition to receiving medical advice and treatment, an out-patient may also receive a complete diagnostic examination, X-rays, laboratory tests, physio- therapy and prescribed drugs, when necessary. Of course, all general hospitals are prepared to handle emergencies and also pro- vide special studies or services for private patients referred by their doctors but not for admission. To make their service still more complete, more hospitals are now utilizing highly -trained social work- ers to supplement clinical care with much needed further study. They may visit the homes of pat- ients and may ascertain (and solve) reasons for illness, such as domestic problems, psychological difficulties, financial worries and so on. Yes, when it comes to hospi- talization, the residents of Ontario are, indeed, fortunate. Hospitals, both voluntary and municipal, gov- ernments and municipalities have formed a great partnership to pro- vide the best in medical care and treatment for all, irrespective of their means, their color, or their creed. Insofar as indigent cases are concerned the Public Hospitals Act states, in part: "No hospital with which a municipality has en- tered into an agreement under this Act shall refuse to admit as a patient anyaindigent"person or de- pendant of an indigent persons a resident in such municipality, who from sickness, disease or injury or otherwise is in need of treat- ment." It is to the credit of our public hospitals that, overcrowded though they may be, they never refuse a really urgent indigent ase if it comes within the categories which they are expected to treat. Regardless of their financial means, residents of Ontario are fortunate when it comes to hos- pitalization. Here, under our sys- tem of community public hospi- tals, the poor share the best of facilities, and treatment services with the rich. Because our Pro- vincial Government and the muni- cipalities make contribution to de- fray a good part of the cost of treating indigent cases, our hos- pitals are in a better position to provide each indigent patient with the best of care. Furthermore, the active medical staffs of our public hospitals have been organized so that the mem- bers assume the responsibility of 'milting after indigent cases with- out any charge whatsoever. This ensures that these patients will receive the best possible medical care. In all but our smallest hos- pitals, indigent care comes under the supervision of top-flight spe- cialists, Actually these . patients often receive more consultative ad- vice than do private patients, for consultation is required by regu- lation on various , eotegorlet trict director of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association. Highlight of ' the session was a panel discussion on "The Latest Developments in Fruit and Vege- table Growing." Particular em- phasis was placed on new methods of pruning.

Legislature Gives Additional Grants Additional payments will be made to Seaforth and district municipalities as a result of an announcement of a special muni- cipal payment which was made in the Legislature° on Tuesday, ac- cording to T.

Telephone System was held in the Town Hall, Zurich, on Tuesday afternoon, March 15, with a rather small attendance. Seem- ingly the subscribers, who are ac- tually the owners of the system, are so well satisfied with the ef- ficient management, and the Hay Township Council, who constitute the Board of Mnagement, that they do not think it necessary to attend these meetings. In looking over the annual report, a copy of which is mailed to every subscriber; it is noted that the system hada ery good year for 1954, v dl �(i nue of $46,374, and an ov rplus over the past year of over $2,000. This is indeed good news to the subscrib- bers as the 'cost of everything seems to be mounting upwards. The 'auditors' report shows fix- ed assets at $131,319, and the cur- rent assets at $165,530.

Stiff rows and square keds, under very rare conditions, may make an im- pressive show but if carried out in the small home garden, at best, they look awkward and out of place. It is far better to have the garden layout simple and informal with clumps rather than straight rows, and wavy edged beds with lots of variety. For tnc centre and foreground nothing is better than a good lawn. On city lots this may only be a few square yards. The grass however sets of the whole layout and it should lead up to the flower garden with possibly shrubs or trees or a vine covered trellis or fence in the background, or as a division between say a kitchen garden plot at the rear.

Sohiething Will Grow No matter what the location, one should not be discouraged. Pro- vided there is soil and at least light, a garden is always possible. For dark shady corners there are things like begonias, lily of the valley and such that will thrive there and nowhere else. At the opposite end of the scale are portu- laca, poppies, alyssum and so on that delight in the hottest sun- shine, will stand drought and are not particular at all whether the soil is rich. There are certain things that must be in a dry loca- tion and others that don't mind getting their feet wet. And, of course, there is a wide range in color and height and time of blooming. If the ground is rough and slopes sharply there is always an oppor- tunity for a rock garden. Here we simply reinforce the slope with the most attractive stones we can find, rough mossy ones are best, and in between we plant tiny rock gents. These thrive in the shal- w crevices and it is surprising the amount of bloom they provide, For getting the best out of these gardens in unusual locations, one bs advised to study the seed cata- logu th�yo�,rt+ottgbtly and be more tri' i'ILii STEWART ORM brings you W.
