When first planning the trip,
they hoped to walk to

pick them up for the return
home. However, because, they
were drenched by rain and
everything they had was soaked,
they did hitchhike the last part
of the way to "The Tub". In all,
they walked 50 miles and did
enjoy the scenery despite
adverse conditions.

In these days of Pollution
Control, it is somewhat of a
paradox, that a source of
malodour and infection is
allowed to exist in spite of the
fact that the governing
authorities have been made
aware of it.
I refer to the fact that the
carcasses of a dead dog and
several cats have been left to
decay and infect the 'air, irk the
very centre of this town, in the
'back gardens of at least two
residences and a business
property. My concern for proper
sanitation and the health of the
citizens, led me to do something
about it. The police were
informed, the mayor alerted, the
Health Unit was called and a
complaint laid. '
They advised me to call the

— but maybe there was a by-law
to cover the circumstance. A trip

One of the cruelest thieves we
face is carelessness.
Most of us are pretty cautious
about safeguarding our money,
documents, clothing, cars and
other valuable objects. But
carelessness can rob a family of
even more precious things — its
health and safety.
According to the drug
industry's Council on Family
Health in Canada, many
accidents in the home can be
prevented by taking some
routine precautions and
establishing certain habits.
For example ...
Replace medicine in its proper
storage place, after you give
medication to a member of the
family. Never leave it on a table
or counter surface where a child
may reach it, warns the Council,
a non-profit public service
organization working to
encourage family health and
safety.
When you return from
marketing, put your purse on
the closet shelf or in the bureau
drawer, Do not leave it on a
couch, chair or bed, where a
child can open it.
When you finish sewing,
replace needles, scissors, pins

the contents of a sewing box as
new toys.
When you clean the bathroom
and kitchen, make a conscious
effort to put the cleaning agents
on a high shelf, beyond reach of
little children. They cannot
recognize the smell of lye and
other caustics as dangerous. The
odor, being strange, may even
tempt them to taste.
When children are finished
playing with toys, make sure
they are put in a storage place.
Check to be sure they are all

-NOT AN EXPENSE
BY A. R. BUCKLEY
When selecting shrubs for
planting around the home the
whole family of hydrangeas
deserves more PollAderation
than they, are usually given,
Members of this family •range
from tender to extremely hardy
plants. All can be depended
upon to produce many Weeks of
conspicuous flowering when
most •other shrubs have long
finished. They vary in height
from small shapely three foot
plants to large 15 to 20 foot
specimens. Most are shrubby,
one is often trained as a tree and
one is a graceful and dependable
climbing plant.
The most common hydrangea
is probably the Pee Gee
hydrangea (Hydrangea
paniculata `Grandiflora'), which
forms, a broad shrub or small
tree to 15 feet high and bears
huge panicles of all-sterile white
flowers in August and
September. These flowers
eventually change to rosy pink,
then later to green and finally to
deep brown, a reason why the
plant is often referred to as the
lour-seasons plant'. The blooms
are so persistant after flowering
that they can be used as winter
arrangements, if dried first by
hanging them in a shed by their
stalks.
Next to the Pee Gee
hydrangea' in popularity is the
Snowhill hydrangea (Hydrangea
arboroscens `Grandiflora), a
common name shortened from
the original common name —
`Hills-of-Snow'. This grows to
about four feet high and has
flowers in large clusters six
inches or more in diameter. It
usually blooms in July from new
wood that springS up from its
old shoots or from the base.
Pruning back hard. each spring
produces a dwarfer compact
plant with much larger flowers.
`Annabelle' is ' a ' very much
improved cultivar with more
rounded blooms on much stiffer
stems.
The oak-leaved hydrangea
(Hydrangea querifolia) is less
.commonly grown than the
others, but is quite distinct for
its coarse leaves are shaped very
much like those of the red oak.
It often grows to six feet in
congenial cliniates, but in most
areas where it is hardy it grows
three or four feet high. The
flower cluster are quite
conspicuous in July when ends
of the branches have not been
injured by winter cold, but its
interesting foliage is its best asset
for landscape planting. It
withstands some winters at
Ottawa, but needs a well
prepared soil with ample humus
and some shade.
The shaggy hydrangea
(Hydrangea bretschneideri) is a
very rugged shrub growing 10 to
12 feet high and up to 10 feet
wide. It flowers profusely from
mid June to late July, and
although the flowers are not as
showy as the Snowhill or Pee
Gee hydrangea, they are so
abundant and on such strong
stems that the overall effect is
often better.
The leaves of this species are
oblong to ovate from three to
fiVe inches long and one to two
and a half inches wide, rounded
or wedge-shaped at the base. The
texture is much heavier and
more dominant than that of the
Snowhill hydrangea and they

have a much deeper green
coloring. The flowers which start
a dullish white change to bright*
deep rose and stay on the plants
almost until September. It is a
good hardy vigorous shrub with
a broad round outline and useful
for the sun and shade alike.
The florists hydrangea
(Hydrangea macrophylla) is not
usually considered hardy
throughout most. of Canada,
although it is occasionally
planted outside in a sheltered
pot and will survive a winter or
two. However,' in the past ten
years a few hybrids have been
introduced that are hardier than
the rest and yet have all the
appearances of the florist type.
One \of these, Blue Bouquet, has
survived our Ottawa winters for
over 10 years and although killed
back to ground level it recovers
and produces good solid bluish
flower trusses on shapely
• three-foot plants. One year it
produced 28 blooms and grew to
three feet high. This suggests it
would be a good plant for milder
parts of Ontario and in the
Maritimes where its performance
would be much more reliable.
The Sargent hydrangea
(Hydrangea aspera ssp.
sargentiana), while practically
unavailable in commerce, • is
nevertheless a most useful plant
for growing under trees and
elsewhere in the shade. It has
very large, deep, green velvety
leaves, that gives it a tropical
appearance and produces, in
milder climates, large heads of
pinkish blooms. in Ottawa, it is
killed back to ground level each
winter and although its flower
buds are produced they are too
late to materialize.
The climbing hydrangea'
(Hydrangea anomala ssp.
petiolaris) is a vigorous
self-clinging climber, quite hardy
at Ottawa on an eastern facing
wall. It is an extremely graceful
climbing plant with deep green
leaves and flower clusters six to
10 inches across, produced in
June. The vines cling by rootlike
holdfasts and have protruding
lateral branches. For a good
robust climber in temperate
parts of Canada few can surpass
this rapid growing plant.
