Grouped on a special table, also entered by Miss Thompson, were nine bouquets of a variety of flowers, each ar- ranged in a pretty antique pitcher and was labelled 'These wouldn't make much of a ball team . ALSO IN THE ▪ UNIQUE CLASS, for display purposes only . were a group of minature arrange ments,provided by Mrs, C. H. Epps which made use of a wide variety ofdainty wee flowers, and equally dainty containers . THE FACT THAT THE REV, D. J: Lane went home with his own prize offered for the best gladioli. basket created quite a bit of com- ment . It was a lovely bunch of flowers, indeed .. with a two - raw bank of •creamy glads with two rows of deeper toned ones . Later ' in the evening' the Rev. Mr. Lane was asked how he grew them so nicely . . . and he answered "I feed 'em. milk" This went over quite well until the lady he told checked with Cliff Epps, who quickly de -bunked the tale Now 'the --minister has a bit 'of talking to do to regain the faith of. • at least one, of his congregation. .

(News -Record Photo) Dairy Set -Aside To Go Forward During September Of This Year than 143,000 in. 1954 as their con- tribution to thenational "advertis- ing budget of $367,000. - ]n view of the fact that milk production is down normally, in September, Mr. Kitchen points out that the co-operation of all branches of the industry in On- tario is imperative" if this province is to maintain its, contribution t� the national budget. In -a joint statement, A. Steel, president, Ontario Dairy Proces- sors' Council and W. H. Holies, president, Ontario Milk Producers Co-ordinating Board, have pointed out to all operators and producers the valuable job of dairy food pro- motion provided by the National program. It was their conviction that the special September Set- aside should receive strong sup- port from all branches of the in- dustry. The Dairy Farmers of Canada advertising set-aside will be col- lected in Ontario during the month of September, ..according to Erle Kitchen, secretary -manager of the national producers' organization. The normal June Set-aside, which proceeded as usual in the rest of Canada, had been postpon- ed in Ontario to coincide with the Ontario Stabilization Plan which was to have started in August but which was subsequently postponed. Mr. Kitchen states that agree- ment has been reached' between the dairy .producer and operating groups in Ontario to carry the Set- aside forward with vigor during the month of September. The Sot - aside of a cent -a -pound butterfat finances the nationaladvertising program in support of dairy foods, Ontario producers set-aside more Flower Show Directors Entertained Guests From Ripley Society Saturday Guests from Ripley Horticultural' marigolds, Miss Luella Johnston, Society paid a visit to the annual Mrs, Neville Forbes, RR 1, Clin- Flower Show which was held by ton; French marigolds, Mrs. Epps, the local society last Saturday in Miss Johnston; phlox, Miss John - the town hall, Clinton.
