Goderich horticulturalists to
"consider making a trip down

-- St -f eorgews Parish Hall. Pro-
pagator at the Royal Botanical
Gardens, Mr. Halward was pay-
ing a first visit to Goderich, and
had a look around in the after-
noon to see what plants and
shrubs were popular here.
"Because of the lake; '' he
said, "I think- you can grow
plants that in some other -areas
would be considered tender."
President Don' McKee was in
the chair, and introduced Mr.
Halward, who immediately in-
terested the large audience with
a demonstration of "the poor
man's greenhouse." Hardwood
cuttings—forsythia, privet, Jap-
anese quince, plane tree and
the ' like—can be planted in .a
box of soil three. parts sand and
one of peat, covered with a
plastic bag and taped and placed
in a domestic refrigerator. By
this method almost any cutting
will grow. Started in February
they can be planted out in early
April and in four years reach a
height of five or six feet.
Seeds can also be placed in a
plastic package with a little
moist soil, kept in a refrigerator
until the middle or end of April,,
then planted in a shady place:
Mr. Halward distributed to all
present little packages of a seed
collection, some not available
from nurserymen, such as evodia
danielli; a Chinese plant making
its first appearance in the Ham-
ilton area. Others were the

FEEDING THE SAILORS
Statistics Say Average Daily Cost
Is $1.99 For Every Crew Member
Feeding the sailors aboard the
grain vessels which operate in
an out of Goderich harbor dur-
ing the season and, of course,
oh all such ships on the Great
Lakes, is no small chore.
It is generally known that
these sailors do anything but
suffer when it comes to being
provided with the -best in food.

rich housewife is acquainted
with that chore. But how would
any housewife like the job of
feeding the more than 500 men
aboard the, fleet of the Upper
Lakes Shipping Limited, -"many
of whose vessels make Goderich
a,„ port of call.
The current issue of "Ship -
Shore News" tells all about this
in the following story:
The grocery bill last June for
the fleet's 22 boats totalled
$30,213.46 .and included pur-
chase of 1,4921 pounds of ba- budget set by.
con, 2,757 dpzen eggs, 774
pounds of coffee, 2,182', pounds
of butter, 5,4461,1 pounds of
pork and 8,45$1,.1 pounds of beef.
And up to the end of November
of last year's navigational sea-
son the crews had tucked away
a tidy $210,549.17 Worth of
victuals.

the precise quantities of each
commodity, individual prices,

it does this in a fraction of the

presided at the organ and Mrs.
Pearl Pearson, of London, as
soloist, sang "The Lords Prayer'
and "Because," /
Given. in marriage by her
father, the bride wore a floor -
length gown of silk organza
over white satin. The short -
sleeved bodice featured a boat
neckline;, appliqued with Swiss
lace motifs, and the V-shaped
back had tiny buttons to the
waistline. The full skirt was
scattered with Swiss lace ap-
pliques and she wore elbow -
length silk organza gloves. Her
lace -edged veil was held by a
coronet of iridescent sequins
outlined with seed pearls and
she carried a white Bible show-
ered with red roses and white
streamers.
Miss Carol Tyreman, 'of Lon-
don, was maid of honor and Miss
Eileen McLean, of London, was
bridesmaid. They were identic-
ally gowned in waltz -length

full skirts, the fitted bodices de-

March 28th will be the 21st,
anniversary of a unique mar-
riage ceremony which took place
at Alexandra Marine and Gen-
eral Hospital. On that date in

Maedel, who was- then 63. The

ation. Rev. D. J. Lane was the
4fficiating clergyman, 'Dr. H.
Taylor, the 'groomsman, and
Mrs. Olive Maskell, the brides-
maid.
The ceremony,.marked the cul-
Mination of a romance which
wps started 40 years previous
to the marriage. The illness
of the bride's parents for many
years required her' attention
which she cheerfully gave in add-
ition -10- being a ttentrai
phone operator at Carlow for
some years. Mrs. Sillib died
suddenly on January 16, 1955.
