The object of the conference, he ex- plained, was world betterment by the bringing about of ' a lasting peace. The conference lasted some three weeks. during which time some 350 delegates from 47 coun- tries of the world met. The lan- guage problem was overcome by translations.

He said that it is expected that the county will have a home economist by the first week in June. Mr. Montgomery stated that the county association has played an outstanding part in all projects - at the C.N.E., the Royal, the In- ternational Plowing Match, and so on.

This Society is at present con- ducting their Annual Easter Seal Campaign which lasts until April 10. The Provincial objective is $550,000. • ANNUAL EASTER SEAL CAMPAIGN SEEKS $550,000 BY APRIL 10th Because much has been heard of poliomyelitis as a cause of crip- pling of children,' it is often sel- dom realized that there is a wide range of afflictions, many of them developing before birth, that can have tragic effects on the lives of their unfortunate victims. Yet to- day many of these can be wholly corrected, and the severity of oth- ers can often be alleviated to let the child grow up to a more nor- mal life. Only a generation or two ago The Legislature (Continued from Page 2) the sick can be adequately cared for. We urgently need more. in- stitutions to properly take care of the aged and the chronically ill. We need more modern highways. to reduce the alarming rate of traffic accidents and death. In our metropolitan areas we need subways and expressways to re- lieve traffic congestion. We need an expansion of our recreational facilities, such as beaches and parks. When we have done these things, we can think about a shorter work week, we can think about an earlier retiring age. These are some of the broad aims of our Legislators, which will provide a more abundant life and enable us to live together as good neighbors. the sight of a grown person handi- capped by a club foot was not un- common. Today, especially if a doctor can begin treatment during the first few weeks after its birth, this deformity in a child can be corrected completely. Similarly, dislocated hips, also a congenital condition, can be corrected, yet it once accounted for many crippled persons. These, and many other handi- capping deformities, are still just about as common in births as they were a hundred years ago, yet the teamwork program of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, working in collaboration with its two hundred -odd Ontario service club affiliates, makes it possible to almost wipe out completely, con- ditions that handicapped hundreds of people. In addition, tremen- dous strides have been made in providing surgery, therapy, mech- anical_ appliances and even train- ing to provide self -dependence for children afflicted by cerebral pal- sy, osteomyelitis, perthes disease and several other afflictions, which only a few years ago doomed most of their victims to helplessness. Each year the service clubs in Ontario hold their annual Easter Seal campaign, the proceeds of which make possible the never- ending -program of treatment and training carried on by the Society. This year's campaign lasts un- til April 10, and has an objective of $550,000. For a Big Show Most of the new house buildings since the war has, very wisely, been on much bigger luts. giving• the gardener an opportunity to have real displays of some of the gorgeous, showy flowers that the plant breeders have brought to perfection in recent years. For such situations, very large bed:;, solidly planted with petunias, zin- nias, spider plants, cosmos or doz- ens of other annuals, are most suitable. Virtually all of these things are easily grown either from seed . directly sown outdoors or transplanted from beds `special- ly prepared and sown just as soon as the weather has turned. -warm and there is little danger of any more frost. Summer cottages, too, can have these large massed beds of flow- ers simply by planting a few pack- ets of seeds in shallow flats and later taking the same to the- cot-; tage and transplanting them ihtd permanent quarters. There is nothing more striking in the larger gardens, or along the driveway leading to cottage or home than these big beds of flow- ers either in solid colors of one variety, or of mixtures of various flowers of -approximately the same height. In these larger beds we space fairly well to permit easy and early cultivation and we' do not try to rush the season. What we are aiming at is a big splash of color and a garden, which after the.first few cultivations will prac- tically look after itself. Solid beds of zinnias, marigolds, petunias, nasturtiums, are particularly ef- fective and we can use either sin- gle varieties or mixtures of about the same mature height. This massed planting of flowers, is also a good idea to use in between new- ly -planted shrubbery which will not require full room for a year or two. Most From Vegeta'bies In reoent years a lot of garden- ers have learned that the only way to get top quality in vege- tables is to grow them at home. The reason is simple. Most vege- tables, and especially things like peas, corn, beans, carrots and ev- en spinach start to deteriorate within a few hours after they are picked. No Matter how carefully we pack they soon start to lose some of their garden freshness. Because this 15 so, many people eyen.with tiny gardens try to have a smell plot for vegetables tucked away somewhere. And it is litar- ally amazing how many good meals can be produced from a bit of land only -a few yards each way. Of course where the garden is a small one, we won't try to grow our winter's supply of potatoes, or very much of the bulky things like corn and squash, But even a 12 - foot row of beans, spinach. car- rots or beets 'will produce a lot. Most of these things can be grown in rows only a few inches apart and we can get more out of the plot by alterating rows of the big- ger igger things like carrots, beets and beans with smaller things like let- tuce, radish and onions. We can also have two crops, one early and one late, and we can spread out the sowings so that something fresh and new will always be com- ing along. Logan Council Special Meeting 9 Logan Council held a special meeting with all members present, the reeve presiding. The minutes of the previous regular meeting were read and adopted. Two ap- peals were received and allowed on the Diehl Municipal Drain, lot 4, concession 5, reduced three ac- res and $15.00 outlet assessment, and lot 5, concession 3, reduced six acres and $10 outlet. In the court of revision on the Sykes, Haehnel and Second Con- cession Drains was dispensed with as there were no appeals. Tenders ade to be called for these drains for the April 4 meeting. F. Adair Campell & Son met the council regarding a special spray- ing policy in connection with war- ble fly and weed spraying. This policy will cover any damage to neighboring crops within the town- ship, by anyone, having (first noti- fied the Clerk in writing of his in- tentio nto spray for weeds. In ac- cordance with this policy the coun- cil instructed the warble fly inspec- tor, H. Jackson, that the township would only spray cattle within the township boundaries. The assessor, treasurer and clerk were authorized to attend the as- essors' meeting in Orangeville on April 6.
