Executive named Clinton The Clinton Horticultural Society is alive and well. Although the 90 -year-old organization's future was threatened earlier this year, enough volunteers have stepped forward to fill the 1981 executive slate. At what some had forecast as tike last meeting of the organization on January 28, president Ruth Bond welcomed everyone and commented on the good turn- out. The events and projects that were undertaken in 1979 and 1980 were reviewed, especially the successful flower shows and bus trips. The financial report showed that the year ended with a substantial bank balance. The figures showed that the flower shows were well attended, with m.. any entries. ...-In the-=planting_report, it was noted that the flower crab trees bloomed and last year the flower beds never looked more colorful or held more flowering geraniums. The membership report showed 60 new names added to the society. After the reports were given, society members were anxious to know the future of the organization. Mrs. Bond spoke about the leadership problem and Ina Durst told of all the telephone calls and effort that was made to find people who would give their time to the society once more. It was also noted that Dorothy Williams sent out a written appeal several weeks earlier through the Clinton News - Record. Mr`s. Frank Fingland noted directly that people who had not served as president should take a turn, however 0 no volunteers immediately came forth. It was agreed to hold' meetings less than every month.

Picking tulips Flowers should preferably be cut in late evening, after the blossoms have stored up food and strength from the sunshine. Cut stems slant- wise. Line several thicknesses of newspaper with a smoothed out wet one. Place turips - not more than eight - on the newspaper with about two inches of stem showing. Wrap them tightly and hold with an elastic band. The flower heads should be well covered. Place the flowers in a tall container with straight sides - a pail works well - in cool water to which two tablespoons of laundry starch has been added. Leave them in a cool place," four to six hours. Then arrange the flowers and place in ordinary cool water, and your bouquet is ready to display.
