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 NEW SPRING FABRICS NOW IN STOCK!

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 Certified Master Graphoanalyst Fyi 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.

KEPLER BORN Johann Kepler, whose studies of the planets contrib., uted to the development of astronomy, was born in • Wurttemberg on Dec. 27, 1571. 14 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.
