clumps of two or three of each

„The Centrepiece
Finallythere is the foreground
or centrepiece- to consider, some-
thing that will show off the
flowers and shrubbery. For this
a good lawn is indispensable, the
smoother, greener and . finer the
better.. Far too many people think
that a lawn will look after itself.
It will not any more than a vege-
table or flower garden. It should
get .the same close attention, the
same care in feeding and mainten-
ance. If it does it will give every
bit as much satisfaction. In these
articles you will be reading more
about the lawn and its importance.
First Plantings
Nothing is gained and much can
be lost by rushing the season and
trying to work soil while it is still
damp and sticky. While most
vegetables and flowers can be
planted a little later than usual
and will do almost as well, if we
put them in too soon they .will
either freeze to death or get such
a setback that they will be per-
manently checked. But, of course,
there are a few exceptions to every
rule. Some very hardy things like
sweet . peas, grass seed, the first
garden peas, shrubbery, trees and
many herbaceous perennial roots,
should be planted in the spring
just as soon as the soil can be
dug without puddling. These are
cool weather loving plants and
hey must get well started before
he summer heat. In very .mild
parts of the country these things
re planted or set out in March
nd elsewhere not later than April
r early May.

Think of Life Insurance 'as a "Gift" for
your child. It is as good in money values
as stocks, bonds, or real estate and, in ad-
dition, it encourages two essentials of suc-
cess: Thrift and Economy.

PINE STREET FIRE
Several hundred dollars in dam-
age was done by a fire in the furni-
ture work shop of Charles Anstay,
Pine street,' about 11 a.m., Satur-
day. Mr. Anstay had put a fire
on in the stove and left to do
work elsewhere. Ten minutes after
he had left, Mrs. Anstay noticed
smoke and tried to get into the
two-story building to save valuable
tools but fire and smoke prevented
her from doing so. Whether the
stove pipes fell down or not, caus-
ing the fire, Mr. Anstay does not
know.

/ CLUB HOUSE OPENS
The official gpening of the Huron
Fish and Game Cgnservation Club
house took place at Clinton. Mayor
William J. Miller congratulated the
members on the project they have
completed.
The new building, which is situ-
ated in the south-western section
of the town, lies on eight acres of
land. It is a frame building cov-
ered with insul brick -and is lined
with plywood. A great deal of the
labor was done by a group of mem-
bers who donated their time.
Guest speaker was Edward Mea-
dows, Heveler, district inspector
for the Department of Lands and
Forests.

Keep It Simple
The most effective and impres-
sive garden layouts, and especially
for non-professionals, are the in-
formal ones. Th}j does not' mean
that shrubs, flowers, trees and
lawns are put in helter skelter.
Far from it. Some of the finest
and most costly gardens in all
Canada are decidedly in the in-
formal category but into them goes
the most precise and long term
planning. The famous Butchart
Gardens of British Columbia are
of the informal type and much
of the beautiful grounds around
the Canadian side of Niagara Falls,
as well as, about the Federal Par-
liament Buildings and the famous
driveways of Ottawa,
One doesn't see long straight
rows of flowers or square flower
beds there. Most of the planting
is done in clumps, with sweeping
but irregularly shaped lawns as a
foreground to massed beds of flow-
ers and groups of shrubbery. And
there is a deliberate "opening up"
effect. You can't see everything
from any central point,* Shrub-
bery, trees and other natural
screening is brought forward here
and there so that each turn in
the path or each rounded corner of
lawn reveals another view.
Even in the smallest garden it
is usually possible to get this same
result' even if we only bring a few
larger shrubs or flowers forward
a bit to screen part of the back,
and invite visitors to explore i
farther.
General Principles
In planning a general layout
small or large, there are some
good general and fundamental
rules to keep in mind. First of
all we should know something
about the final height of the flow-
ers, shrubs and trees and in gen-
eral keep the smaller things in
the front, so all may be seen.
Color and time of blooming should
be noted to prevent clashes, though
nature can mix these things more
pleasingly than can man. But
more serious than color clashing j
is no color at all. By checking •
with the seed or nursery catalogue
for the time of blooming it is
possible to have a succession of
flowers from the earliest snow
drops in the spring until the last t
chrysanthemums in the fall. I t
Another general rule mentioned
previously is to avoid straight rows a
wherever possible with flowers and a
shrubs but rather to plant in 0

FACT PICKUP
CANADIAN farmers know the
struggle, at maple sugar time, of
- hauling the sap to the sugar 'house
—especially if there has been an
early thaw. So we were interested
`in hearing how one farmer, who
used aluminum- tubing for sum-
mer ifrigation, also used it as a
spring pipeline to carry the sap
from his trees to the sugar house
some distance away.
Light, strong, easily handled
aluminum has a .way of stimulat-
ing people's ingenuity in their
search for short cuts that will save
t hem time and money. Today more
than a thousand different Cana-
dian tirms are manufacturing ar-
ticles made from aluminum
supplied by Mean. (Aluminum
Company of Canada, Ltd.)
