Cooke, FLORIST Dial HU 24012, Clinton "Over 400" Bowl In Official Opening BowIoff Official opening bowl -off last Saturday night at the Arm- strong'sBowling Lanes began with a good omen, when Reeve Melvin Crich bowled the first ball and scored a strike, Special event of the evening was a three -game competition between the men who had bowled over 400 on the old lanes, Hugh Hawkins held the highest record on the old' Mules of 438. In Saturday night's three games Hugh totalled 587, Oth- ers taking Part were Joe Copp- er, 648; Jack Armstrong, the winner, with 742; Murray John- ston, 630 and Howard Grealis', 485, Bent Harris also had a qualifying record of over 400 on the old lanes, but was un- able to be present for the Sat- urday night affair. The old alleys were two of the oldest in Western Ontario, Jim Armstrong, owner of the lanes for the past two years, reports that they were install- ed in 1928, and had been pur- chased second-hand then.' For the opening event Tuc-• key Beverages, Exeter, had pro- vided free Pepsi to everyone present A case of Cocoa Cola was offered free by that company to the first lady and the first man who bowled over 300 on the new lanes. Owner of the lanes, Jim Armstrong is slight- ly embarrassed at having won the man's prize himself. He bowled 359 on Tuesday night, August 1. Juveniles To Play In WOAA Finals Clinton Legion Juvenile base- ball team have been put up in.- to n.to "B" classification, as the re- sult of a complaint that the town has over 3,000 population.

Walkerton and List- owel are now playing a best two out of three series with the winner meeting Clinton in the fina'Is,. According to man- ager Andrews there is a pos- sibility of a game in Clinton on Saturday. Stinkweed? It's A Stinker Say Farming Experts This weed is a real "stink- er" and is .appropriately named says J. W, MacRae of the Field Crops Branch, Ontario Depari:- ment of Agriculture. When bruised, the plant will give off an unpleasant odour, and farmers have lost thousands of dollars 'through tainted milk or beef caused by stinkweed beyng present in the pastures, and excessive amounts of Seed in feed grains have been known to poison animals. Stinkweed, pennyeress, Fr- enchweed and fanweee all re- fer to an introduced annual which grows six to 24 inches high and as found in meadows, grain fields, roadsides and waste places, The flowers are stall, white, with four petals, and the seeds are borne in small flat pods surrounded by a mem- brane, notched at the top, not unlike a tiny fan. The stems are slightly woody and branched at the top. Stinkweed has shallow roots and responds readily to both cultivation and spraying. Pres cropping cultivation should be such as to induce s'eed's to ger,. minate and then be destroyed by subsequent cultivations. This helps to thin the stand, and good control can be obtained with as Tittle as four ounces 2,4-D acid per acre, if applied in the early stages of growth. Stinkweed is a prolific seed- er. Cantrell measures are six- fold: (1) Kill as many as pos- sible by pre -planting cultiva- tion (2) spray the growing crop early with 29,4-D or MCP (3) practise early ,aftereharvest cul- tivation, where possible (4) destroy all weeds growing ar- ound the farmyard, lanes, fence rows, etc. (5) be sure weed - infested manure is well rot- ted before spreading it on the land (6) Clean all stinkweed seed's from feed grains and des- troy the screenings. Stinkweed is a real "stinker" in Western Canada and is now much too common in Ontario. 11•11.1101111011111111, 1111111111111011111111•111111111111111111I Ciirr Nrp, 4 (Pe rle) 34r lr CLINTON COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LIMITED THIS IS YOUR CREDIT UNION For Your Convenience Office Open 411/2 Hours Every Week Plenty of Free Parking ALL YOUR BUSINESS IS KEPT STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL CURRENT INTEREST -3% on Chequing Account 4% on Savings Tractor Safety Means Obeying Few Easy Rules Haying and harsa st times are the periods when farm tractors are frequently driven on high- ways and gravel roads. To avoid 'accidents Hal Wright, safety specialist with the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, sug- gests the following measures; Plan ahead in order to cut down to a minimum the amount of travel on heavily travelled roads. Use side roads even if it takes a bit longer. Keep the tractor under con- trol. Slow down for curves and leave the tractor in gear on downgrades. Don't let children or young teenagers handle a tractor on the highway. Have a strict "no -rider" rule. Clear the brush in the vic- inity of the lanes and field gates to improve visibility. Use red flags and approved Iighting to give warning 'to mot- orists of the dangers of slow moving vehicles. Courtesy prevents accidents. Pull off the pavement, when feasible, to let the automobile traffic pass safely. SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS NOW IN STOCK COMPLETE C.D.C.I.

(RCAF Photo) Over The Hump Where had X heard the dec- laration (before, 'I will never pioneer another Subdivision," Seems to me it was from the lips of this very lad, my No, 2 son, who now stood ankle deep in sub soil directing a Dutch gardener where to put the sev- eral odd loads of top soil and sod. In two days he was about to move into a home in the second subdivision im his brief married life and he was at- tempting to get the clay under control before wee Lari had a chance to get mired. An SOS to "mother" had brought me to the rescue with the two -ton capacity station wagon loaded with boulders, flats of annuals, cartons of perennials dug from my own garden and a bag of fertilizer. This time, he had: promised himself, he would lick the prob- lem of •a barren landscape be- fore moving in, not afterward. He wouldn't be too proud to ask my help, confessing maybe he was a good newspaperman but admitting he is a clueless gardener. From the time he first dis- covered the new housing de- velopment within less than a mile from the CN's new elec.. tronically operated hump yard under construction in Markham and Vaughan townships in On- tario, he had made up hiss mind to sell his home south of the district Why? I had asked, when he had only just gotten the dump of silver birches in front of his first home to look as though it was enjoying its new locale, when the lawn was lush and the street paved, when the decorating was the way they wanted it and the dark- room built in the basement, why, oh why, did he want to move? "Simple, my dear mother," he replied, "because it is good business to sell when you can make a profit. Especially if the move is to a neighbourhood with appreciating prospects." This remark was an interest- ing one. Chiefly because at 'the time the railway planned the hump yard, there was great op- position to the undertaking.

Kippen, takes place this Satur- day, August 5. Horne ownere protetsted that real estate values would clash with a resounding thump. Yet here, even before the construc- tion of the undertaking was completed, a new subdivision had been built. In it there isn't a home valued under $25,000. Some range as high as $40,000 and all were sold before a num- ber were even .started, Having lived for the pant 30 odd years on a piece of land wh- ere my roots go deep, I am a little stunned with the' object- ive way in which my two off- spring keep parlaying their real estate investment into big- ger, 'better and prettier homes. Mother Lode The rockery at the .corner of my house has been the pay lode for all of their married lives. From It they have start- ed the odd half dozen gardens. I sometimes like to wonder how much the families, to whom they sold their earlier investments, are enjoying the periwinkle when it blooms in a blue blush in May, or the coral bells as they nod to the iris in June. Do they pick the first golden coriopsis in July to ar- range in a copper jug, or gath- er the bronze 'mums in the fall for a sick friend? X won- der, I look at the Scotch pines we planted' as a wind break when they were only shoulder high to the six-year-old, youns gest member of our family. Now their spring "candles" reach above the telephone wires. Other trees are a bane to Hydro workmen who hate to see a woman fairly weep when they cut the heart out of a sugar maple planned' those many years ago, too close to the road. My hands sunk deep into the rich black loam as I planted another tree. With the impat- ience of youth, my Na. 2 fam- ily wanted something that would grow fast. All fast gr- owing 'trees, I told them, are either scraggy or dirty. Weep- ing willow trees are pretty on an estate, or until they reach their tenth birthday, After that, on .a small city lot, it is a battle to see who is master —a mere mortal with his trusty pruning saw, or a lacy tree with its roots heaving the heart out of the .lawn. Manitoba maple has a soft spot in my heart for it is a feathery green all summer and in winter its keys attract flocks of golden grosbeaks to its houghs, But those same keys can play havoc with a rockery for they sprout at the touch of soil and can become deeply rooted before they are noticed among the daffodils and tulips. Well then, what about Chin- ese elms? Angular, small leafed, too woody, they grow like a forgotten step sister, tall and without even the courtesy to throw a slant of shade. A Singing Tree There was only one tree left that I could recommend if they must be able to stand and watch it grow. That was a Russian poplar, In• our swamp they grow in families of three and four. Clustered together, they gossip every time the br- eeze flutters their heart -shaped leaves. They are a merry tree that seems to be enjoying life no matter what the weather.

I wanted it as tall as their first little daughter, now two. I had searched for one as, straight as her strong young back as she paddled between the hole I had dug for the tree and the flat of blooming pl- ants in the unmade garden chanting, "Pretty, pretty." "Who's pioneering," I asked myself as I tucked perennial forget-me-nots into a pocket of rocks from the station wagons, planted dwarf iris in small fans and iced a stone with a fluff of ground phlox. Secretly I en- vied the wonderful courage of youth. The young today have the good sense not to get .at- tached to material things. They never plant their hearts in the gardens, but are sensible en- ough to realize when it is time to move on to an "appreciat- ing community."
