Instead of thinking about May flowers, green grass and gardening. one felt like Christmas or'maybe even heading South to warmer weather. Sure the dandelions even hid their bright yellow heads under the leaves. The children dug out the mittens and hats that mothers had washed and pin away until fall. A few weeks ago one saw lots of red faces, backs and arms from the sun and wind burns and this weekend everyone had goosebumps. Mother Nature has been giving us the cold shoulder again but don't worry, she will come around and turn on the sun and heat up life's playground so we can bask in the hot sun and go to the beach or for a dip in the pool.

The purpose of meeting two was to discuss the results of soil samples taken earlier but the results were not yet returned from Guelph. However some interesting facts were learned. The components of typical garden soil were identified in a simple experiment using soil, water and dish detergent. Particles were br ken up and then settled into identifia a layers. Each memb • required to do a simuar experiment at home. The soil elements required by the plants we will be growing in our garden were talked • about and how to tell if a plant is suffering from a deficiency. An understanding of the soil will help the gardener when faced with a problem in a plant. Thinning and transplanting were also necessary topics in preparation for the gardens which are to be planted for the next meeting on May 28 at the home of Theresa Cronin.

Turner outlines his leadership plans for independent businesses to delegates Small business owners, farmers, women and youth heard what John Turner plans to do for them as leader of the Liberal Party when he spoke May 9 to Perth delegates who will be attending the Liberal Leadership convention June 14 to 17 in Ottawa. The Liberal leadership candidate, in Toronto earlier in the day, announced his program for independent business. He repeated this program idea for the benefit of the delegates and incorporated his thoughts on the family farm. For businesses, Mr. Turner said he would like to simplify the tax system and set upan appropriate tax structure which would alow an adequate cash flow in the business' early years. He said he would also like to make regulations much less cumbersome and costly. The third part of his plan calls for opening new o.portunities for women and men from •t b oµni¢r alpsetse Gont,3o -. r. Turner said an economic climate must exist which would make small business risk -takers more confident. He said the risk -takers should be admired and able to make a profit - a word which Mr. Turner said shouldn't be treated as' a dirty word. He said small businesses have to be encouraged to grow, particularly with so many young people looking for jobs. "My firowth.st priority is jobs because that means The provincial education systems should be rearranged to enable children of today to have jobs available to them tomorrow. "In Toronto today, I asked the business com- munity to open their doors ... so that young people can put experience on their resume, he said. As for the agricultural sector, Mr. Turner said the family farm is the most stable element of society today. As minister of finance, he said he took off capital gains so a family farm could be passed down from father to son. Credit and Interest rates have to be looked at to ensure the family farm remains secure, he said. For women, he said there should be equal job opportunities and an examination of the pension scheme. He pointed out that single parents are among the poorestin society and that fact has to be examined. .ln general terms. Mr. Turner said he is seeking the Liberal leadership because he has a "mission and crusade" to see confidence in Canada restored. The Liberal Party of Canada should be a mainstream party promoting a mixed econ- omy and free enterprise with a "safety net". "The Liberals must again become a national party," he said. "The federal party has withered, shrunk in many cases and almost rotted," said Mr. Turner, adding bis mandate is not only for "good, solid government", but to also elect some Liberal provincial governments. Herb Grey, president of` the treasury board, introduced the leadership candidate. He was the first cabinet minister to publicly announce his support for Mr. Turner.
