visit : to Novi S�
1f you're longing to get back t
the 1, if only for brief respite
from city life, then perhaps a
week-long fart vacation , Nova
Scotia, will satisfy your nim,-
lova SCOtia's lulsh Annapolis
Valley is the .perfet setting for
xueb a rural boliday and this
year, for the :first time, farms to
the area , re formed a. group
Idled the Farm and Lal Vaca*
no Awe., and are opt, their
doors to guests The am 1*
sponsored ` the.s County
Federation of Agriculture.
The Association's printed bro-
chure lista the farms offering this
special vacation. Each farmer list-
ed has something different to
offer prospective guests some
are frit and vegetablewopera-
• tions (the Annapolis Valley being
most famous for its apples)
• others raise livestock While some.
have riding stables with ponies
for the youngsters.
Two. of the farms Would prefer
to have children only -- offering
'the parents ,a unique opportunity
to tour Nova Scotia while the kids
have the time of their lives enjoy-
ing all the activities of the farm.
Prices are standard: $70.00 a
weekper adult and $45.0.0 for
each child. This rate, of course,
includes all meals. On the farms
where the children remain
without the parents the adult rate
applies.
And what do you get for this
price? First of all, you get the
same advantages as allvisitors
to the beautiful valley •— some of
the most outstanding scenery to
be found anywhere in Canada, a
tranquil atmosphere that must be
experienced to be believed, an
enviable climate of sunny, hot
days and cool evenings, and a
heritage of history from the, Port
Royal Habitation' near Annapolis
Royal, a replica of the 1605 fort,
to the Grand Pre National His-
toric Park, where the statue of
Evangeline epitomizes the tragic
story of the expulsion of the Aca-
dians in 1755.
But for the farm vacationers
there are added bonuses: like the
opportunity to sample freshly -
picked fruit and vegetables,
gather your own eggs for break-
fast; sleep in a comfortable room
where . the air conditioning is a
refreshing breeze blowing in an
open window.
Be prepared to be pampered —
not with swimming pools and
white linen tablecloths -but with
fresh, '*holesoii he food, eaten p
with the host ,family, and with a
genuine friendliness you thought
didn't exist anymore.
Children, especially, enjoy • the
farm experience and are thrilled
with even the simplest tasks they
are encouraged to try during
their week on the farm. They'll
grow up with an appreciation of
farm. life and have a greater
understanding of the importance
of the farmer to our economy.
A vacationing family won't
want to spend all their time on the
farm. They'll be enticed by
beaches, golf courses and oppor-
tunities for sport fishing. From
anywhere in the valley, it's only a
short drive to the Bay of Fundy
coast where the highest tides in
the world occur.
And then there's a summer -
long series of special events, be-
ginning with the Annapolis Valley
Blossom Festival- in the first
weekend in June and continuing
until mid-September with the
Hants County Exhibition in Wind-
sor. It's the oldest agricultural
fair in North America. In mid-
July, there's a chance to sample
French -Acadian culture at the

How to hide the pot wasa
discussiondquestton at one of
our recent .gardenclub meet.
Ings. try of the members
have Large collections; .o
house plants and ceramic
plaint containers are costly, so
our discussion revolved
around' how to make attrac-
tive,
urastive, inexpensive flower pot
containers.'
Here are a few suggestions
using inexpensive' paper
buckets or discarded ice
cream cartons (the conuner-
cial type). For an attractive
sculptural effect, glue heavy
cord or clothes line in a close
free form design (Fig. 1). Al-
low to dry, then spray paint_
with two coats of cream color
enamel. ,
These are lovely as they
are, especially a grouping of
several, but you may wish to
antique them.. To do this you
can use commercial antiquirig
glaze or wipe shoe polish on
them. Wipe off as much as
possible, leaving only enough
to highlight the raised design.
YOUR HANDWRITING TELLS
Keep the business
but not the books
By DOROTHY
ST. JOHN JACKSON

Dear Dorothy: •
My husband and I have a
small business. We both enjoy
it very much, but he refuses to
keep the books and do the
desk work, so I have to do it; .
and hate it more each month.
The business isn't large
enough to hire it done. Wonder
if I'll ever learn to like it? I
have considered suggesting
that we sell the business and
just work for the other guy, to
get away from such confine-
ment. — M. V.
Dear M.V.:
Desk and book work can
devastate you.
Nothing can defeat you
more than the grinding pres-
sure of detail. Don't count on
learning to like it.,
You're a promoter. The
long lower loop on j and y re-
sist confinement 'of any kind.
Your aims.are high, and your
eagerness exerts every effort
to reach the top, seen in your
long, firm, high t crossings.
When you and your husband
started the business, you had
your eye on one thing ... suc-
cess'. Your visioin was too
wide to focus in on the .books
that had to be kept, and all
those little tormenting things
which, unfortunately, are a
necessary part of the whole
picture. But, feel no guilt! Re-
gardless of, circumstances,
whether your business is
large or small, you have to be
spared the confines of a desk,
which is causing you to feel
imposed upon and used; seen
in the rigid beginning up-
strokes. You must be free to
sell, promote, and influence.
It is then that your business
will begin to grow.
Yo{t- long for that feeling of
impottance and respectabil-
ity in your business and in•
your community. Besides
that, you are willing to pay the
price to get it, seen in the
large beginning loop .on capi-
tal 'W.
When you do what you're
cut out to do, your thought of
quitting will be impossible,
seen in the long strong down-
strokes.
How` `'about hiring some
part-time help, or a recom-
mended business school stu-
dent to handle the desk? In
any operation (large or
small), you've got to spend to
gain. •
I really would like to see you
keep the business but, don't
YOU keep the books!- D.J.

disguise
er pot
A paint bucket, painted then
trimmed with ball fringe and
bred glued on top and bottom,
is interesting and • -,easy.
Fad shops have hupdreds
of braid selections to choose
from (Fig. 2).
Another idea is to cut bands
of colored glue paper, make
a Solution of % water and
white glue, and starting at the
top glue one band on, then
glue the second band overlap-
ping the first, etc. These are.
especially pretty when you
use three or four shades of the
same color.
Container No. 4 is spray
painted white, then cut bright
colored contact paper in
graphic designs and attach to
the containers. We have used
arrows, squares, geometrical
designs, etc.
The next container was left
as it came from the store, but
rope was glued .on in a vine
design, and ,purple and green
leaves cut from felt scraps,
then glued in a random "f ash -
ion.
If you have a flair for free-
hand artistry, spray paint the
paint bucket and draw large
flowers and leaves. Our was
done in a yellow background,
with large orange flowers,
green leaves shaded and out-
lined with a felt tip pen (Fig.
6) . A paper bucket can be
spray painted bright blue
overall, th n large white cut-
out circles are glued all over
it. These may be of felt, but
could be of any ,material,
heavy paper, etc. (Fig. 7)
One of the easiest and most
interesting is decorated by
cutting small pictures from
magazines and gluing there
over the entire carton. Here
again, overlap • slightly and
when finished dry thoroughly.
Spray on several coats of
clear acrylic spray. Here
again you may leave as is or •
antique, both ways are attrac-
tive ,(Fig. 8).
If you name your plants as
do some of our members, a
container painted a solid color .
and with the plant's name
painted on both sides is nice
(also helpfulafor your guests if
they talk to your plants!). In
our case "Henry" contained a
long, leggy philodendron.
These containers, being
cardboard and pressed paper,
need a plastic or ceramic
plate in the bottom, before
you set the planted pot in
them. The inside surfaces
may be sprayed or left as you
wish.
These containers are fun to
make, inexpensive and at-
tractive, a good idea for
bazaar items or Scout proj-
ects for Mothers' Day.
Experiment and. have fun!
