The Victoria Day week-end offered most people their first taste of summer in eight months, I'm writing this column two days after the holiday. Like many other persons, I'm sporting my initial sun burn of the season. Each year I vow to be more careful and to acquire a gradual, painless tan. My stinging face tells me I blew another resolution. Summer resorts began their busy season during the holiday weekend. When trailer camps opened their gates, cars and trucks toting tents, campers, and trailers poured in. City residents also visited their lakeshore cottages and cleared the mustiness left by a long winter. Perhaps the temperature was cool for swimming, but it provided a comfortable at- mosphere for picnics. At this time of the year, there aren't as many insects to bug you. Besides the ant armies aren't quite strong enough to abduct your hot dog, $4.0weit drumstick, or piece of cake. Wait a couple of months, though! Some cattle and horses now graze in fields. Unfortunately few pastures have attained adequate growth. Around' our home, a few daf- fodils and tulips still bloom. In addition, my mother and I planted multi-coloured petunias in a round flower bed in the centre of our front lawn. I con- tribute the ideas for the design; Mom supplies the green thumb, If the ideas don't achieve, the planned results, Mom's green thumb has failed. For Mother's. Day, I gave her two blue spruce trees to grow in front of the house. The plants were rather small. In fact, I feared a robin might pluck one from the ground and add it to his nest, Among the treetops, tiny birds now clamour for food. Sparrows inhabit a nest under our porch so we hear chirping inside the house as well as outside. The other day I also noticed six fiery orioles bobbing amid the grass, Snowy cherry blossoms shower • •.:•%s.' Odds n" Ends By ELAINE TpvvNss4gto our green and yellow polka dot lawn. Dandelions serve a pur- pose, of course. How would bees survive without them? If a bee roved freely through our golden crop, however, he could quickly overindulge himself. Speaking of showers, the blue sky is turning gray, again. The weatherman forecasts possible thunderstorms. Towns' people periodically check their basements, while farmers anxiously survey their swamped crops. My father, with many other men, is resowing his grain field and hoping it won't be flooded again. Although we enjoyed fine weather during the Victoria Day weekend, some districts weren't as fortunate. In our area, the motorboats and canoes were removed from the streets and placed on the lakes and rivers where they belong. Let's hope they can stay there. We endured a hectic, muddy spring, but the signs of summer are finally emerging. Whatever surprises the weather holds in store for us, it's encouraging to note summer is coming.

One hundred students took part in the presentation, directed by Mr. Medd, with Mrs. Rodgers, musical director of the school, providing the piano ac year's event, which was ham- pered by a steady downpour of rain, nonetheless attracted a very large crowd.

Prior to the meeting, a Red Cross Blood Clinic took Place upstairs, and chairman for the Clinic, Elaine Baynharn reported a total of 110 donors gave blood, The attendance was down slightly from the last clinic as the old saying goes - "it's good to the last drop!'

The mystery prize was - won by Betty Wedlake.
