TWELVE -YEAR-OLD Michele Finney (left) and Howard the talking Turtle are two new personalties who have made a mark with young TV viewers this season on CBC -TV's Razzle Dazzle. Letters are coming in to the show at the rateof more than 5,000 a month. Howard loves mail. The only thing he doesn't like is the mention of turtle soup—that's enough to make any talking turtle withdraw into his shell. As a splendid healthy hobby, fishing and gardening have much in common. Both take I one out into the open air and sunshine; both offer a little easy exercise and both are rel- atively. inexpensive, and you can spend as little or as much. as you please. But where these two hobbies are most alike, however, is in the advance planning, thinking or dreaming we can do about them. The snow may still be a foot or three feet deep outside right now, but there is nothing to prevent us .poring over a Can- adian seed catalogue, ordering some new varieties and plan- ning just ' where' we are going to put them..And this plannipg not only results in a better and far more interestinggarden, but it will give us lots of fun right now. It is well, however, to have a pad arid pencil ready and to jot down just what we are going to add and where and when, so -that when Spring does arrive, and there is a na- tural rush to get outside, we will have this new information right . at hand. Add 'Something New• In our garden planning, it is most important : that we add. something new . in both the flower and vegetable line.. If it is several years since we have really gone into the matter of garden varieties, we might be amazed at how much improve- ment has taken place. There are • far bigger, showier and more .colorful flowers today than there were a decade ago, or in the case of those very popular annuals like zinnias, marigolds and petunias, even a couple of years back. Plant breeders have been busy all over the continent and the best of their .productions have been under constant test in the all - America trials, which, of coarse, include several trial gardens in Canada as well as in the United States- At these trials, winners are selected each year and you will find any of these a most valuable and interesting addi- tion to any garden. Usually these All -America selections are listed separately in the seed catalogue, especially the cur - EFFICIENCY AND CONTROL WITH Rediform Speed.iset STOCK/ BUSINESS FORMS - SO CONVENIENT TO USE .. .

Earlier and Hardier Too Not only are these new varie- ties and types much better than the old in color in the case of flowers ' and in flaver of vege- tables, but there is another im- provement of particular inter- est to us in Canada. Many of the newer flowers and ' vege- tables are hardier or quicker growing which means that we cae safely plant them in our northern gardens and they will mature and bloom well before frost. There+••are'' things like toma- toes„ melons, cucumbers, zin- nias,.;,'asters and all sorts of other semi -hardy varieties, that our grandparents couldn't pos- sibly have grown, that are per- fectly hardy today. They are ev- en growing a certain type of very hardy corn right up with- in a few miles of the !retic Circle. • Invaluable Assistance No doubt it is possible for an expert to follow a new and complicated play, without a pro- gram, but such a feat is not generally ,recommended for the average person. It 4uld be just like visiting a c ntry one had never heard or read about. Fine forn explorer, perhaps, but rathei confusing for any- one else. And gardening., -with out a good Canadian seed cata- logue would be just as unsatis- factory. To build a house, one must know something about the size, shape, color and special use of the materials in con- struction, and what • goes with what and whets. To create, de- velop or build a good garden we need similar and even more detailed information, and the seed 'catalogue is where we find it. When we plant, how deep to plant and - how far apart—how big the plant will grow, when it will bloom or be fit to use— how to protect it from insect and disease—what sort,.of a lo- cation, sunny or shady, rich or poor soil, etc., etc. Answers to all these questions will be found in the catalogue, and the information will be specially tuned to Canadian climate and Other conditions. There are lots of beautiful flowers, and some (but not many) tender vege- tables that will do well in Flor- ida or Italy, but will be a fail- ure here. These, however, will never be listed in a Canadian seed catalogue, Most gardeners are string savers—but for a very good reason. Good stout string will be needed for marking the vegt etable rows, and lots of soft string or twine will come in handy for tying up tall plants, vines, and so on. iJ Euchre Winners Another pleasant evening was held in spite of cold weather, in the LOOP Hall on Thursday evening by the Eastern Star, with 12 games of euchre. Winners were' Ladies, high Mrs. Rita Orr; lone hands, Mrs, Jean Cairns; consolation, Mrs. E. MacDougall; men: high, Dave Papple; lone hands, William - Kelley; consolation, William Holland. The lucky door prize was won by Mrs. Wm. ,'Blair. Mrs. D. Lemon and her com- mittee served lunch. FIRESIDE GROUP Miss Janet-Cluff and Mr. Scott Cluff were host and hostess to the Fireside Fellowship , Group o'f First Church on Tuesday eve- ning, when there was a good attendance. The meeting was arranged by Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Cosford. J. D. Pollock, a teach- er at Seaforth District High School, was guest speaker. To- gether with an interesting corn- mentary, he showed slides of Mexico, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Mrs. L. R. MacDonald read -the Scripture lesson and Mrs. Frank Klingresidetl at the piano.

Johnston, in The Stratford -Beacon Herald) Hibhert we usually think., to be an Irish township, because of the large influx of Irish _pio- neers who settled the north end of the township, about 110 years ago, and put the Irish place- naines of Dublin and St. Colum ban (formerly Irishtown) on the Hibbert map. The material col- lected by llfiss Lillian Morley, of Milverton,. for the Perth county historical archives, how- ever, provides some + detailed evidence of the strong Scottish influence in 'the settlement of some neighborhoods in Hibbert. Among the families , who came to Hibbert in 'the period 1848-1855, when the township was being opened for settle- ment, there were at least 10 who came from Scotland to make big 'contributions to the opening and development of the townships. There were two Balfour families among them, and. others carrying the sur- names Dow, Colquhoun, Miller, LOCAL BRIEFS Miss Yvonne Bolton, Kitchen- er, spent the weekend at her home here.' The many friends of Mr, John Hotham; Wilson St., will be glad to know that he has re- turned from St. Joseph's Hos- pital, London, and is progress- ing favorably.

There were 156 in attendance. By C. ,A. DEAN, M.D. MEDITORIAL: Just recently I received an inquiry from Mrs. A. C. about a very ancient prob- lem—dandruff. It has been with us since the origin of man and probably there will never be a- cure for it, Dandruff is an excess flaking or scaling of the skin and can occur anywhere on the body. Most, people, how- ever, refer to the area in and around the scalp when they speak of dandruff. Normally, the body will slough off dead skin cells at a rate so slow, it isn't seen. Why, in a dandruff condition, this rate is stepped up to a point where the scales are very noticeable and a moderate itch- ing- problem occurs, is not ful- ly understood. Several years ago a bactelial condition was considered the main cause but specialists ' no longer believe this has any bearing on its sev- erity. Thus, shampoos which are advertised to kill dandruff - causing germs will probably not be effective. . One cause of dandruff is prob- ably •hormonal, since it seems to be worse during menstrua- tion, and other hormonal chang- es • in the body, such is low 'thyroid condition (hypothyroid- ims). - Other causes are hered- ity; excess ingestion of fat, sugars and -.alcohol; excess fa - 'ague; poor hygiene; extreme nervtiulaitesa ltiid. climate eliang- McKellar-, McLaren, Morrison, Hackney and McDougall. For sev,.en of the 1a families, there is some knowledge of the part of Scotland from which they came, and these origins are varied enough to show that in Hibbert, unlike most of the townships of Perth,' there is no pattern of "clumping" to indi- cate that any considerable groups of families came from One neighborhood in the Old World, to form one neighbor- hood in the New World. Hibbert is almost unique in Perth County in this respect. Elsewhere in Perth,. there is Plenty of evidence of clumping. People from one neighborhood in Perthshire, Scotland, settled together in one part of North Easthppe. People • from one small area in Meeklenburg set- tledin one neighborhood north of Rostock. People from one area in Hessen -Darmstadt set- tled in South Easthope. People from one county in England, Devonshire, settled the north- west corner of Fullarton. In Hibbert it is different. The Irish who' came to Hibbert seem to have been from areas' scat- tered reas•"scat- tered all over Ireland, and the Scottish families of which we have record came from widely scattered parts of Scotland. The name Dow, which has been plentifully represented in Hibbert for 112 years, traces back to Clackmannanshire, one of the smallest counties in Scot- land, which lies in the Low- lands tucked in against the southern • boundary of Perth- shire. Three Dow brothers came to Hibbert as pioneers, James and John in 1850, and William in 1854. They took up land in the southeast corner of Hibbert, James in the' 9th con- cession, John in the 10th and William in the llth, and the D,ows have been the core of the population in that neighbor- hood ever since. Perth to Perth was the move made by the McLaren family. John McLaren, from Perthshire in Scotland, came in 1850 to the south-west corner of Hib- bert, in Perth County, and took up lots 17 and 18 in the 13th concession, south-west of Crom- arty. This family is one of the few which . has supplied two wardens for the county; Alex- ander McLaren was warden of Perth in 1888, and John A. Mc- Laren in 1912.. Argyleshire in Scotland sup- plied at least tvl'o names for the assessment 4rolls and voters' lists' of Hit Bert. Donald McKel- lar bought lot 16 in the llth concession, at Cromarty, in 1851. The stone Presbyterian church at Cromarty stands on an acre of land which was giv- en by the pioneer McKellar as a site for 'a church. The. other Argyleshire name of which there is record is McDougall; John ' McDougall bought lot 18 in the 14th concession in 1850, but does not seem to haveset- tled there and started to make 'a clearing, until 1854. Renfrewshire was 'the home county in Scotland. of Matthew Miller, who brought the Miller name to Hibbert in 1851. He and his sons, John and George, took up three 100 -acre lots in the south-east quarter of Hib- bert, and the name has been a leading one in that neighbor- hood ever since. Matthew, the father, was a native of the town of Paisley, in Renfrewshire. Forfarshire, . an east -coast county of Scotland, which is sometimes called Angus, rather than Forfarshire, is the place of origin of the name Hackney, in Hibbert. John Hackney was a Forfarshire man who came in 1853, or about that time, to the south end of Hibbert, and pio- neered at lot 25 in the Nortll Thames Road concession, on the line of what is' now Highway 83, west of Russeldale. Of two Balfour pioneers in Hibbert one, at least, the James Balfour who came in 1855 to lot 1 in the 12th concession, was from Ayrshire in Scotland.' The Henry Balfour who pioneer- ed at lot 5 in the 5th concession was a native of Scotland, but we have seen no record which identifies. his birthplace more • f or closely than that. _ The other Scottish' families among the Hibbert pioneers, Colquhouns and Morrisons, we can also place no more closely than to say they Were from Scotland. Perhaps somereader may know more. Arthur Colqu- houn settled in 1848 on lot 3 in the 8th concession, and Jas. Morrison took up lot 26 and 27 in the 13th concession. Mc IILLOP The...regular February meet- ing of Duff's McKilTnp United Church Women met .at the home. of Mrs, Everett Storey with a good attendance. Presi- dent Mrs. R. F. McKercher op- ened the devotional part of the meeting with a hymn. Scrip- ture, .Isiah 6:1-8, was read by Mrs. James Kerr. Mrs. McKer- cher asked questions on the Bible. Mrs. Ken Stewart gave an ex- cellent report on the inaugural meeting the UCW held at Clin- ton, and also read a report of the finance committee. THANK YOU!
