Mrs. R,E. Pooley gave a talk

and the schools at the meeting
of James St. UCW unit 3 Monday
evening.
Mrs. Robert McDonald pre-

Contests were led by Mrs. Law-
rence Wein who presided for the
meeting.
Plans were made to cater
plained on TV and she experi-
mented. A cut was made half
way into the stem, a toothpick
inserted to hold the cut open.
The cut was wrapped with a
large handful of wet sphagnum
moss and tied loosely with twine
and the whole covered with
polyethylene. In a few weeks the
moss became filled with roots.
She severed the stem from the
old one and potted without dis-
turbing the roots. Two new
shapely plants were started and
now new leaves are developing
and the excitement of watching
for the number of "splits" in a
new leaf or whether there'll be
any at all, is a thrill.
With so many interests there
is never a dull moment for Mrs.
Balkwill and she likes to share
with her friends and neighbors.

Describes barriers
to Christian growth
"Hobbies keep one young" is
a remark often heard and this is
true of Mrs. Russell E. Balk-
will, John St., who has a number
of interests which keep her
young in spirit.
She turns to Mother Nature
for several hobbies and is very
observant of peculiar rock for-
mations, odd wood structures,
shells that are different, the un-
usual in plant life and even the
beauty in the scales of a common
sucker which she used in making
shell Pictures.
Mrs. Balkwill has quite an
assembly of articles made from
cypress "knees" which she and
her husband gathered while va-
cationing in Florida.
Peculiar features of the cy-
press trees which grow in the
swamps of Florida are the
"knees" which, like a flock of
youngsters, come up around the
base of the trees. They are,
however, not young trees at all
but merely up-growths from the
roots which extend above the
water. They are covered with a
soft bark through which the
natives claim "the tree brea-
thes."
These knees are frequently
attractive in shape and Mr. and
Mrs. Balkwill gathered many
interesting shaped pieces. They
are boiled in water for three-
quarters to one hour and all
the bark is removed. The sur-
face is smoothed and the pieces
thoroughly dried. They are
trimmed to suit the purpose for
which they are intended. They
are colorful ranging from san-
dalwood to redwood and after
Mrs. Balkwill has applied a coat
of varnish or shellac they are
handsome. One piece was wired
for a TV lamp, others make
table centres, planters, flower
containers and others are pure-
ly ornamental resembling
pieces of sculpture.
Mrs. Balkwill also gathered
the long fragrant pine needles
in Florida which she has com-
bined with raffia to make bas-
kets and trays.
The north picture window of
the Balkwill home is the setting
for African violets single and
double flowered in many dif-
ferent shades. Mrs. Balkwill
claims "They just grow" but
she divulges that she visits
them each morning giving them
a drink of WARM water if they
need it and a fertilizer pill
once a month.
She likes to try the unusual
"just to see if it will grow".
She has a lemon tree, a banana
tree, 1 o qu at (tropical fruit)
plants and many other kinds.
This past summer her neigh-
bor threw into the garbage a
split leaf philodendrom which
had grown spindly, tall and un-
gainly. Mrs. Balkwill rescued
it and, with her green thumb, it
is now a lovely plant.
She had noticed the process of
air-layering, which is used
when plants are too tall or
have too much hare stem ex-

Mrs. R. S. Hiltz of Main St.
United Church was the speaker
at the World Day of Prayer
service held at Trivitt Me-
morial Church for the ladies of
the community on Friday after-
noon.
Mrs. Hiltz presented four
barriers to the growth of the
Christian faith in the world as
stated by Rev. L. E. Holmgren
of the American Bible Society;
the growing population; the ad-
vancing literacy and learning
of the earth's people; the re-
volutionary moods and move-
ments of our day and the re-
vival of ancient religions of the
world.
"This" she said "will only
be faced and overcome by the
dedication and dynamic force of
Christians as we commit our-
selves to Christ and His pur-
pose as expressed in our under-
standing concern and sacrificial
giving of our time and money,"
Mrs. Frieda Bierling was
the leader for the service and
was assisted by Mrs. Hector
Murray, Mrs. Clifford Ersman,
Mrs. Melvin Gardiner, Mrs. A.
J. Steinstra and Mrs. T. Van
