convention. While there are a
million unemployed, there arc
300,000 more working now than

Mrs Wright honoured
Not many of us can brag about
being involved with a local group
for 22 years and so it was with
great enthusiasm that the
members of the horticulture
society in Blyth presented a gift to
Mrs. Marion Wright for her years
as secretary treasurer for the
society. Mrs. Molly Grant pinned
the corsage on the guest of
honour and Mrs. Viola Haines
presented Mrs. Wright with a
framed certificate.
Mts. Logan read a tribute and
Mrs. Alvena W' ,bster spoke of
Marion's work with flowers
through the years. Mrs, Sharon
Wittich contributed messages in
song.
Guest speaker,Mr.Ball spoke on
various methods of organic
gardening. Mr. Ball retired five
years ago to build a home on his
mother's home spot in the
Maitland Block, near Auburn,
growing everything on his few
acres organically and avoids
poisons on the market.
Members were given a brief
outline on the working of a
compost pile, and how easy it is to
receive rich humus for their
gardens.
Companion planting was
covered extensively and Mr. Ball
left a list of plants that when
planted next to each other prove
beneficial in keeping diseases and
predators away from the next
plant.
Mr. Ball also recommended
sonic old remedies for treating
gardens, which have been over-
looked in the rush for killing
pesticides and herbicides.
Rotenone and pyrethrum are safe
dusts to use against bugs and are
equally safe for other creatures in
the arca, he said.
Members discussed the sale of
perennials from the horticulture
park. It was pointed, out that the
perennials in the park need
digging up and dividing. The
excess plants could be sold to
raise funds for the group. It was
suggested that at the 'next
directors meeting a decision
would be made about the plants.
per cent.
The budget brought down by
the Liberals two weeks ago is a
"responsible" one, he said. The
three per cent drop in sales tax
will stimulate the purchasing
power of Canadians. But, he
added it is important that a
balance in foreign and Canadian
buying be kept to ensure
Canadians work.
He noted that the budget also
brought into effect the exemption

Hydro wires
cause fire
The warning keep away from
fallen hydro wires was aptly
illustrated Monday when fallen
hydro lines from a barn started a
fire in sonic dried wood and
weeds at the base of a barn. Fire
officials answered a call to the
Szusz farm north of Londesboro
and put out the fire and checked
for any further complications.
Marsha Szusz was phoned by a
neighbour who noticed the smoke
coming from the Szusz barn.
Marsha checked and upon finding
the fire started putting snow on
the flames to put them out.
When the fire officials ar rived
she had pulled the main switch
for the hydro. But before doing so
had leaped over the fallen live
wire several tines before
realizing what she was doing.
Blyth fire officials checked for
further smolderings and watered
down the barn wall and refuse at
the bottom of the wall wh ich had
caught fire.
Damages are minimal.

Gardening and old newspaper time

Wtih the return of the nice
weather, after 1 don't know how
many months, many of us turn to
the great outdoors, All of us are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of
trees or seedlings. And many
others arc ready to begin garden
planting. Right now the agenda
for spring cleanup is pruning and
bed preparation.
1 hope that among you there are
one or two who are not so a hard
pressed that you can't donate
sonic time and back grease to the
preparation and planting of the
village flower beds. With another
year of live theatre in Blyth there
will be more people than ever
visiting Blyth and the first thing
they will notice besides our
sniili ng faces is the friendly
atmosphere generated by our tidy

Be careful with kids
Today, we can save lives. Lives that a few years
ago would have been lost, waiting for the medical
skills and technology we now enjoy and take for
granted. Many diseases and conditions which were
often fatal to children are now -things of the past.
But an old child -killer is still around the lethal
combination of human carelessness and childish
curiosity. And this year, hundreds of children will die
needlessly and thousands more will be severely
injured, as a result of accidents.
We can rely on hospitals and medical personnel to
make every effort to save children. But we cannot
count on them to protect youngsters at home, at
school or at play - that is everyone's responsibility.
Everyone,- parents, teachers and just "wiser heads
on older shoulders" - must share the enriching and
rewarding task of guaranteeing useful and pro-
ductive lives for all our children.
Safety is one step towards achieving this goal,
health is the other. The learning years of childhood
are critical ones for developing healthy lifestyle
habits which may last a lifetime.
This week, dedicated to child safety, emphasizes
the importance of responsibility to children.
Obviously, it is not a responsibility to be taken lightly
for through children, we safeguard the future. A
future we owe to them.

Spring and Casey's up to bat
We have to remember
by Keith Roulston
didn't see the television series Holocaust
but I've read a good deal about the uproar it
has caused.
Incase you didn't see the articles that took
up a good deal of space in the newspapers last
week. the series was one of those specials on
U.S. television that ran over several evenings.
It told of the Nazi atrocities against Jews in
the Second World War.
There was a good deal of protest against
especially by people of German ancestry.
They apparently felt that the subject had been
hauled out once too often, that the whole
incident was better forgotten. Young Germans
especially growing up since the Second World
War, who have had nothing whatsoever to do
with Nazi Germany must weary of the tales of
the war years. They no doubt wonder. why
they must continue to live through the guilt of
the era,
I can understand that. 1 was born in the
generation after the War too. I have the same
feelings every time people talk about the
horrors ol'the explosion of the atomic bomb at
Hiroshima. Why should 1 feel guilty about
something that happened before I was born?
In . Canada we've spent a good deal of time
recently regretting the actions of our
government when it interned all the Japanese
on the west coast during the War, Why should
that subject be hauled out time and again?
The answer is, of course, that it most be
hauled out again and again, not as a way of
punishing those who lived in a country for the
misdeeds of' the past, but as a way of
reminding us not to do such things again.
History repeats itself: that's one of the most
accurate statements of all time, If you look at
history you can see the cyclical pattern time
and again. People seldom) learn from their
mistakes, at least over the long :haul of
history. Instead we try to forget our mistakes
of the past., to bury them so we can feel more
comfortable.
What we have to do is to stop feeling guilty
for things done in the past in our own country,
or by people of ourrace. We must learn from
them, but not feel guilty. Sonie of course want
to feel guilty and some people want us to feel
guilty. I get tired of those who want me to feel
guilty for having white skin just because of the
atrocities of Ian Smith in Rhodesia or the
government in South Africa, Those of other
skin, colours who think I should feel guilty for
something a white is doing 10,000 miles away
are just as racist as Smith and his g. ng. Why
should 1 feel guilty just because the colour of
my skin is the same? Do blacks all over the
world feel guilty because of the atrocities
committed by Idi Amin? We are all just human
beings and shouldn't feel guilty for misdeeds
over which we have no control.
Yet at the same time, we can't forget.
remember watching the stunning series Roots
which told the story of the progress of one
American black family from the time a young
boy was captured as a slave in Africa, until
about the time of the Civil War in the U.S. It
was pretty appalling to watch history come to
life on television,. to see the way the whites
had treated the blacks in the U.S. It was tru ly
inhuman and helped me understand the
situation of the American black much better.
Oh sure l had heard the story before,but
actually seeing it recreated on television was
far more effective. It was indeed, impossible
to forget.
I've heard varying reports on the Holocaust
series, that it is bad television or that it is
stunning television but if it bt ings even a little
of ,the horrors of the Nazi treatment of
minorities to life then it is worth it. Surely the
series may seem to some to have been slanted
becaue it was made by Jews but frankly, the
horrors of the Nazi actions were so bad I doubt
they could be made seem worse than they
were, at least on family television. And lets
remember that though the Jews were the
main victims, they weren't the only ones.
Many other innocent people died in the
concentration camps too,
If there is a hope for the world it is that our
modern communications technology can keep
memories of the past inhumanities of man
alive to remind us of how low we can sink, In
the past history quickly faded. Now we have
films of the death camps. We have proof of
the horror of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima.
We have films of the terrible mistakes that
the Americans got involved in Vietnam.
Our one hope is to keep these memories
alive, not as a way of punishing the sons and
daughters or grandsons and granddaughters
of those who committed the crimes, but as a
constant reminder that we can easily be led by
petty hatreds, by criminally monstrous
leaders to do things that we would never have
thought possible. No, we don't need the guilt
feelings, but yes we do need the memories.

Report from Queen's Park
Still debating OHIP increase
By Murray Gaunt, M.P.P.
This week has seen consider-
able heated debate in Committee
with respect to the OHIP pre-
mium increase. The Liberal
Leader, Stuart Smith, presented
his partys' alternatives to the
Government's 371/:% increase.
Dr. Smith said the $271 million
the Govcrnnlcnt needs can he
drawn from six areas: 1. Limit the
01-11P premium increase to 6°/
which would raise 51 million. 2.
Use provincial lottery funds for 38
million, 3. Cut the I'al in this
year's Ministry of Health budget
estimates 101' 51) million. 4, Force
the Government to implement its
4%1 limit for.salarics and wage
settlements for $67 million. 5. Cut
Government spending 011 services
such as public relations, con-
sultants and printing for $24
million. 6. Increase the Corporate
5%, to 1 2,5% for most businesses
for $41 million.
Uncle!. the Liberal proposal, a
6%1 increase ‘vill mean a monthly
premium of $17 instead of $16 for
single subscribers,
The Treasurer's budget plan
would mean prcnliuins of $22 and
$44 respectively.
At the last session of the
Committee on Social Develop-
ment opposition members ap-
aproved a motion demanding that
the Government drop its planned
371/2% increase in Ontario Health
Insurance premiums for the rest
of the year.
The motion gives the Govern-
ment until April 25 to conte up
with another way of raising the
'I
million it needs for OHIP.
So far the Treasurer has
r: rased to back away from his
l.udget increase, but did make a
>,In,tll concession with respect to
►)er;plc at the "Notch" with
illcomcs a little above the level
o here they would qualify for
premium assistance,
The Provincial Local Govern-
ment Committee on Property Tax
Reform .has submitted its re-
commendations on the Trea-
surer's "Alternative System" to
Cabinet.
Under the Treasurer's proposal
small businesses would be
esi e Tally hard hit. The commit-
tee's proposal for 0 business tax
credit or rebate based on need
would lessen the blow if im-
peinc111ed.
The Minister of Revenue Lorne
Macck indicated in the
Legislature that some 3.5 million
in public funds under the first
honk buyer grant scheme
brought in prior to 1975 election
and dropped the end of the sante
year was given to people who did
not qualify.
fight bean disease
Plant hrecders at the Ontario
Agricultural College in Guelph
are working to combat a new
disease threatening Ontario's

Anthracnose. 0 fungus disease

later in the season, the beans
become discoloured and unattrac-
tive for human consumption.
A research project to develop
varieties of White beaks resistant
to the disease was begun a year
ago. It is funded by the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food,
By introducing a gene from 0
f.uropea11 brown bean variety,
Dr. I3cvcrsdorf is breeding
resistance into the four varieties
of white beans grown in Ontario.
It will take two years to
complete the necessary breeding
and another two years to get the
resistant varieties on the market,
In the meantime, two new
systemic fungicides have been
developed to control anthracnose,
These new fungicides will act as a
stopgap measure until resistant
varieties are available 10

Summer jobs here hard to find
If you 're a student in Blyth
looking for a summer job, it's not
going to be easy, Local organizat-
ions just don't seem to be doing
much hiring of students.
111e Blyth Centre for the Arts,if
they hire students at all, will
probably hire students from th-
eatre school, according to Centre
president Keith Roulston.
Even then, he said that at the
most they would hire one or two
students because they have a
limited budget.
Viola Haines, presiden of the
Horticultural Society i also
doubtful that the Society will be
hiring students, She said even if
they did, it would only be on a
temporary basis and not a full-
time summer job.
Jeanette Finnigan, student
placement counsellor at the God-
eric Student Manpower office
said that "at moment the job
market is very depressed and
there's very little available. She
said that this was partly because,
students were out looking for
work on their own because of the
teachers' strike.
She said her office was check-
ing on odd jobs and they even had
very little on those. Information
on federal and provincial govern-
ment programs can be obtained at
the Student Manpower office
inGoderich and information on
the Ontario Experience '78 pro-
gram at Huron County libraries.
Jeannette said submissions had
been forwarded I'roni the Man-
IxNwcr offices to the Young
Canada Works program but she
won't know till the end of April
whether submissions have been
accepted or not,
Jeanette's advice to students
looking for jobs is to "register
with Manpower, try to remain
optimistic. apply under the Ont-
ario Experience '78 program
which has a deadline of May I ,

THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 26, 1978 — 15
Christians have power to share
by Rev, Cecil Wittich
All of us are hearing about the
shortages of different forms of
energy in our world, We hear
about dwindling supplies of oil
and gasoline. We hear about
shortages of electrical power and
so on. Whenever we hear that
there is no shortage or that there
will be abundance in years to
come, our hearts are somewhat
relieved. We don't like to think of
running out of these kinds of
energy and the resulting changes
it will bring in our life-style.
Another type of power that
interests us is that of mobility.
When we think of buying a car or
a tractor, we want one with plenty
of power, We want power to
spare.
There is another kind of power
that concerns us and that is
spiritual power or the power to
live our lives more in keeping
with the will of God or that which
truly fulfills life. When Jesus was
preparing to leave this earth to
return to heaven, he had
commissioned his followers to be
his witnesses in the world and
then he commanded them to wait
until they received the power of
the Holy Spirit before trying to be
his witnesses, On the Day of
Pentecosts, ten days after Jesus
left this earth, his disciples and
followers were filled with his
Spirit. From that day forward,
they became lights for Christ in
the world. That same power is
available to us today.
The power that the Spirt gives
is not to live life our own way. It is
to yield our wills to God and
follow him, This we cannot do by
ourselves, It is only by the grace
of God and as we become willing.
Then we are to be his witnesses.
The Spirit gives us power to
live for God. He gives us the
courage and the ability to take our
stand for God at all times, It is
easy to follow the crowd or to do
what the world does. But some-
times our obedience to God
requires standing alone. God's
grace through his Spirit is always
more than sufficient to enable us
to live for hien. The first Apostles
and millions of Christians have
found that to be true, You can too
if you will try it,
God's Spirit also gives the'
energy to love and forgive. We
are called to love as Christ loved
and that includes our worst
enemies, Jesus showed real love
in his life. When he was dying
on the cross, he asked God to for and yielding yourself to the
forgive those who put him there. Holy Spirit who is given to us a
He had enough love left over after Christians, You will find that he is
enduring all the suffering and more than you need to live for the
abuse of his trial and crucifixion glory of God. "Now to him who by

said to those who were onaosing (Ephesians 3:20-21)
his work, "Do to us what you will,
and we shall continue to love

obstacles in our relationship with
one another and bring us together
in true friendship and fellowship.

next Week to speak to eager
listeners at Blyth Memorial Hall
will not daunt him.
His energy is overpowering, all
220 pour, ds of it, and very much
oriented to achievement,
Bob Rumball holds Doctor of
latuS and Doctor of Divinity
Degrees from the University of
Toronto, He hobnobbs with
celebrities such as hockey star,
Bobby Orr, and wins support for
Ontario's 8,500 deaf.
Dr. Rumball is a family man.
His wife Jean, a nurse, works
dosely with her husba nd, and
atn sign skilfully. Their six
children range from 21 years of
age to four years.
"To an audience of deaf people
he speaks out loud as he signs,
and his approach is a combination
of evangelical fervor and locker
room philosophy with the jokes
cleaned up. His big gnarled
hands move deftly through the
sign language he learned in three
weeks. His congregation watch
intently. Sometimes they rock
with laughter. The sermon is
simple but so fervent. -
He preaches the way he talks,
quickly and powerfully".
No wonder, then, that his
popularity as a speaker is rapidly
gaining momentum as he fulfills
requests, from many Ontario
centres, to preach to those that
can hear.
Bob Rumball says, "I'm a
minister 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, and I want my
people to know it. 1 wear this
collar to fix the car", He'll be
wearing it, no doubt, when he
steps onto Memorial stage next
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
eights.

PATTERSON In loving
memory of a very special friend,
Gayle, who left us suddenly one
year ago, April 23, 1977.
Dear Gayle
A pleasant smile, a heart of gold,
No finer friend this world could
hold
To your beautiful life came a
sudden end
You died and lived everyones
friend.
We were not there to say
good-bye
Perhaps it was just as well
For we never could have parted
With a friend we loved so well.
They say time heals all sorrows
And helps us to forget
But time so far has only proved
25 In Memoriam
How much we miss you yet,
A smile, a tear, a thought sincere
How often we wish that you were
here.
But we'll remember our whole
lives through
The last good times we had with
you,
Always remembered and sadly
missed - Terry & Debbie.

from capital gains tax, of
incorporated farms which are
handed down from one family
member to another,
He told the convention that
farming is the backbone of the
county and that farming must be
profitable to make a viable
enterprise for the farmer.
He said that this is the most
"crucial election" this county
has faced and that the prink
minister of this country will have
to give solid direction to the
Canadian people to keep the
country together. He said that he
could not see Joe Clark as having
the ability to do this. He said that
Pierre Trudcau, however, is
respected by world leaders.
Minister of Indian and
Northern Affairs, Hugh Faulkner,
M.P. Peterborough, addressed
the convention considering issues
which included the economy,
national unity , unemployment
and agriculture.

which followed the nomination
ballot, a nominating committee

Let trees keep you cool
Homeowners who want to
save money on their utility
bills can take a few tips from
their grandparents.
Before technology deliv-
ered us from the discomforts
of our climate, people used
natural methods for cooling
their houses in the summer
and conserving the heat they
had in the cold months, The
natural ways are still avail-
able to us and they are sur-
prisingly inexpensive and
easy to do.
With energy in short sup-
ply and rising in cost,
everyone has to be concerned
with conservation,
Until government and in-
dustry come up with a solu-
tion to the problem of scarce
fossil fuels, the American
Association of Nurserymen
points out three smart things
homeowners can do to use
their energy supplies wisely
around the house,
First, make the heating
and cooling systems work
more efficiently and use
them conservatively. Second,
use other energy sources such
as sun and wind,
Third, take steps to reduce
energy needs in the home by
controlling the effects of cli-
mate on the house itself,
Trees and other plantings
can help do all these things.
These are the methods our
grandparents used. They
opened their windows on hot
days and let cool breezes run
through the house. These
breezes were nicely chan-
neled by thick hedges planted
in the right places outside,
The big leafy shade trees
were located where they
rained shade on the house to
keep it cool and comfortable
during the summer.
In effect, they created
their own "miniclimate" in
and around their houses, Re-
gardless of the weather out-
side, those old houses man-
aged to remain comfortable
all year around without ex-
pensive, fuel -consuming air
conditioners and sophisticat-
ed heating units,
Even in modern houses
homeowners can create their
own energy-saving minicli-
mate which will not only help
save money and energy, 'but
which enhances the value of
the property.
Proper landscaping with
trees, bushes, shrubs, ever-
greens and other plantings
requires just good common
sense and a little professional
advice from a local garden
center or nurseryman.
Shade trees, for example,
are among nature's most ef-
ficient climate controllers, In
the summer, their big leafy
umbrellas provide a cooling
shade in or around a house,
They also give off cooling
vapor through transpiration.
In winter, they drop their
leaves and allow the warming
effects of the sun to come
through.
Smart planting and en-
ergy-saving measures can
help every modern day
homeowner create his own
energy-saving "miniclimate,"

SHADE TREES CAN 13E most efficient climate controllers. For best effect, the American
Association of Nurserymen says they should be placed on the east and south sides of a build-
ing. In summer their leafy canopies provide cooling shade; in winter they drop their leaves to
let the sun's warmth shine through. Because they have such cooling effect, they also help save
money for air conditioning in hot.nwnths.

You don t have to be rich to decorate
You don't have to be rich
to redecorate your home.
Many have ,
found that living on a
tight budget doesn't neces-
sarily mean doing without.
There are ways to refur-
bish economically. Here
are just a few:
• Organize a com-
munity trading coopera-
tive. Set the place, date
and time and ask your
neighbors to bring furni-
ture and household acces-
sories they no longer use,
need or want. Then trade
with each other to get new
items for your homes.
This method helps
everyone dispose of un-
wanted items and reduce
clutter around their homes
—and you may each find
exactly what you need to
spruce up your homes for
free!
• Renew, rather than
redo, household basics. So,
if draperies and slipcovers
are looking drab, treat
them to a thorough clean-
ing to restore their bright-
ness.
A good rule of thumb is
to restore before spending
more. For instance, before
investing in a costly paint
job because walls have got-
ten streaked and dirty,
give them a dose of "elbow
grease." Wash walls with
industrial
strength cleaner and
water to get them looking
almost like new again, and
'use the money saved on
paint to buy things you
can't do or make yourself.

• Take advantage of ac-
cessories to brighten up
rooms. Throw pillows -are
always good for accenting
a couch—try several in a
variety of hues if you wish
to introduce new color to
your living room.
Some small curios and
knick-knacks can add in-
terest and provide new
focal points
• Practice "musical
chairs" art—every few
months rearrange paint-
ings and other wall hang-
ings or move them from
room to room. You'll be
pleasantly surprised with
the results.
• Grow lots of plants.
They look great in every
room; many are inexpen-
sive, easy to care for—and
never go out of style.
Floors can get
sunburned too
So you think that only
people get sun -burned?
So can your curtains, your
upholstery, your furniture,
and even your floor!
But here's an easy and
attractive way to add pro-
tection from the sun's de-
structive ultraviolet rays
— hang decorative shades
at the windows.
It naturally follows that
they will also help cut
heat loss in winter and
heat gain in summer.

Sunny suggestions to
perk up garden
As longer days and sunny
skies herald the rites of
spring, plants — like people
— come out of hibernation
to demand their rights from
indoor gardeners. Poking
out of pots or climbing mac-
rame, houseplants deserve a
new lease on life and grow-
th after a dormant winter.
Proper nourishment be-
gins with a daily diet of sun-
light, the natural plant food.
To be sure plants receive
optimum exposure to the
sun's rays, In fact, build-
up of dirt and grime over the
long, cold winter can leave a
film on windows that inter-
feres with the sun's rays,
causing leaves to turn yellow
or brown.
• Treat plants to a luxuri-
ous bath to wash away dust
build-up that can clog pores
and block the direct nour-
ishment of sunlight. Make a
solution of one tablespoon
biodegradable dishwashing
liquid to one-half gallon of
warm water and softly
sponge off tops and bottoms
of leaves.
• Dust fuzzy -leaf plants
like African violets with a
soft -bristled paintbrush.
• Pinch off leaves that
have turned brown, as these
can steal precious nutrients
that should be directed to
healthy, growing portions.
• Give new shoots room to
grow by gently loosening
topsoil with a trowel or table
fork. Tightly packed soil
that served as protection
against winter's cold tem-
peratures needs new inlets
for oxygen and spring's
warm air.
• Repot plants that are
growing out of their
"shoes." To remove plant,
turn the pot over and gently
tap the bottom. Carefully
pull on the base of the plant
and catch loose soil on news-
papers spread over the work
area.
• Save old pots for new
plants, but first scrub away
salt deposits left by tap
water additives.
polishing cleanser features a
gentle abrasive to help scrub
and shine all kinds of pots
from clay to ceramic.
• Bring the morning dew
indoors by misting plants
with a spray container.
• Periodically turn plants
to face sunlight so that each
leaf gets its share of light.
Switch plants to different lo-
cations for a change of pace
and to vary light exposure.
• Shape up plants with a
little pruning. Make cuts
with sharp shears just above
a leaf or branch that has a
bud pointed in the direction
you want foliage to grow. t
Here's how to
keep garden
flowers
Flowers brought in from
the garden are especially en-
joyable to have around the
house. You can make them
last longer by keeping them
in the coolest spot possible.
Place them away from fur-
nace outlets or direct sun-
light.
Flower preservatives can
be added to vase water to re-
tard deterioration of the
plant cells.
In choosing, and caring
for, your flowering house
plants, don't hesitate to•ask
your local nursery for expert
advice. _-

You know how easily clothes
can be mixed and matched,
Gardens can be mix -matches, too.
Try mixing some vegetables in
with your annuals and perennials.
Any small area in your garden
can produce vegetables: perhaps
15 -square -foot area between
flowering shrubs or a 10 by 10
loot annual bed, These small
open spaces can produce fresh
vegetables with excellent quality
ancf taste at little cost.
The key to home grown
vegetables is well-prepared soil.
Well -drained, open spaces in full
sunshine are ideal. Shrubs that
may shade garden areas should
be pruned back beforehand. Dig
in compost. peat moss or manure
to enrich the soil before planting.
A simple way to improve soil
texture is to add coarse sand to
clay soils, or clay to sandy soils.
You might try tomatoes, beans,
onions, peppers, cucumbers, and
radishes. 13uy your seed as early
;t1 VOU caul, A rule of thumb in
sowing thr seed is to cover it to
twice its diameter.
Beans, cucumbers and
tomatoes can be trained to climb
on wires or string on the back
fence, Plastic netting is also
available in garden centres,
these climbers slake excellent
screens and green backgrounds to
show off annual flowers too,
Onions, including the sweet
Spanish variety, can be bought as
sets or seedlings. Plant them
about one inch apart. In about
three weeks, pull out every other
one for use as green onions.
Continue thinning 'periodically
until the onions are fotn'' or five
inches apart. These rem4n1ng
onions can be left tu' grow"to full
size, This procedure makes
maximum use of available space.
Radishes, because they are
Sinall and mature fast, are
naturals for ,small garden plots.
Two or three crops can be grown
in a season by planting seeds over
several weeks.
If available space is Targe
enough, consider putting in
lettuce, beets, carrots a11(I herbs.
Avoid corn, squash, pumpkin and
watermelon, since these plants
take up (00 much space.

Increase the variety and color
in your garden this year. Grow
annuals from seed.
A dollar or two will buy a few
packets of seed that will help
create a more interesting 1111(1
colorful garden, says R.A.F'Icm-
ing, Ontario Ministry of Agricult-
ure and Food Horticulturist.
Plants such as calendula,
bachelor's button, cornflower,
c'orcopsis, cosmos or nasturtium
can be sown outdoors as soon as
the soil can be prepared,
Other annuals such as baby's
breath, nenlophila, scabiosa and
nemesia, and vines such as
morning gI(try, sweet pea, thumb
ergia and the clock vine, can also
be grown suc!'essfully from seed.
Most annuals can be sown from
early to mid-May. Calendula,
cornflower, larkspur and snap-
dragon can be 11111 as early as
late April.
Sow 111e seeds thinly on a
well-prepared, Moist seedbed,
Seeds should he covered lightly
and the seedbed kept moist until
seedlings emerge.
To avoid unnecessary competit-
ion, remove weak or overcrowded
plants, Allow night to tell inches
between plants, Mr. Fleming
says (hat although further thinn-
ing may be required as the plants
grow, these young plants may be
transplanted to open areas of the
garden in 111 Licit the same way as

You might also consider using a

20.20-20. Mix 0110 tablespoon of
soluble fertilizer to each gallon of '
water and water your garden with
it. Every other watering, use the

Don't over -fertilize your
vegetable garden, especial) y
tomatoes, once the plants are
established, or they will product
too much vegetative growth and
not enough fruit. If you don't
have a compost pile, dig the tops
of radishes, carrots, onions and so

the best way of composting, but
it's better than tossing 111e111 out.

suited to the condition of the
chosen site. Plants such as zinnia,
celosia, arabis and cerastium
'adapted to hot, dry conditions
should not be planted in a shady
location.
Arrange according to height.
Arrange plants according to
their height relationships to other
plants.
A border or bed with view from
one side should have the tallest
plants in the background, inter-
mediate height plants in the
central portion of the bed and
shortest plants in the foreground.
Allow plant height to drift into
different height zones to give a
natural appearance. Arrange-
ment should not be so rigid as to
give a step-like appearance to the
garden,
A border with view along both
sides should be arranged with the
tallest plants in the central
portion of the bed. Medium and
short plants can be arranged
toward the foreground.
What is ineant by tall, medium
and short in height relationship
will vary with plants selected. In
a solid annual bed, three feet may
be considered tall, where in a
perennial or (nixed border, height
up to five to six feet might be
considered tali,
Siillilar'ly, short plants Islay
range from .plants four to twelve
inches. Edging plants or ground
covers Such as alysst1111, lobelia,
snow -in -summer and dwarf phlox
are examples.
To illustrate the height relation-
ship, consider the majestic Pacific
hybrid delphinium, heleniutll,
hollyhock, dahlia and lythrunl as
background plants with drifts of
colui11bine, sweet Williams,
shasta daisy, maltose . cross,
coreopsis and hardy chrysan-
themum as intermediate plants.
Coral bells, armeria, Iceland
poppy, candy tuft and pinks can
drift into the foreground, Inter-
sperse spring bulbs such as scilla,
chionodoxa, tulips, daffodil,
hyacinth and crocus to give early
spring colour.
Arrange according to form and
texture.
Mix plants with—vertical and
horizontal forms. Spike flowers
such as veronica, snapdragon,
lupine and stocks should be
interplanted with horizontal plant
forms of petunia, chrysanthemum
or basket -of -gold. Mix flat-topped
flowers, globular flowers,
trumpet flowers and spike flowers
for interest.
Colour of foliage and texture of
Plants defined
Annuals are plants that
live for only one season.
Marigolds, petunias, snap-
dragons and_zinnias are ex-
amples of annuals.
Biannuals live for two
seasons. Foxgloves and
sweet Williams are ex-
amples of biannuals.
Perennials come up year
after year .with proper care.
Peonies, California pop-
pies, columbine and roses
are perennials.
Bulbs can be dug up and
stored for replanting after
they have finished flower-
ing, Tulips are examples.
foliage can be used to enhance
composition, Foliage colour can
soften flower colour dominance in
a garden, masking harsh colour
clashes, Blending plant form,
flower and foliage textures leads
to natural appearance and
pleasing composition.
Arrange according to flowering
period. .
Attempt to arrange plants so
the sequence of flowering is
distributed throughout the border'
form spring to late fall. Consider
sequential flowering• within the
centre height zone. Each zone
should show colour throughout
the season. Annuals and bulbs
may be supplemented in a mixed
border to achieve continuity of
colour,
Arrange plants in groupings,
'l'o crcats massive appearance
of Tess prominent or less showy
plants, arrange these in
groupings to achieve prominence.
A single delphinium appears lost
in a massive flower bed, but
grouping brings out stately
attributes, Generally, the upright
plants show well grouped in odd
numbers.
Colour arrangement.
Colour is a very person taste --
response to colour is based on
what one perceives and
interprets. Today, our society is
much bolder with colour, What
was frowned upon yesterday may
be accepted today. The mod look
and psychedelic colours have
turned some people on. A novice
gardener can avoid difficulties by
using basic principles in colour
arrangement. Colour selection
and use should relate to the total
surroundings, creating a
harmonious effect.
Guides to colour use,
One -colour plantings may be
pleasing. A contrast of red
verbenc or red petunia will look
rich in large masses backed with
dominance of greenery provided
by lawn, trees and shrubs. For
example, a large bed of bright red
verbene looks invigorating
against a background of rich
green horizontal juniper. All
white plantings will provide a cool
effect in hot areas. Mixed with
greenery, white flowers look
pleasing during the evening. Cool
effects can also be accomplished
with all blue plantings,
Harmonious colour arrange-
ments can be achieved by novice
gardeners, Using closely related
colours, clashes of colours can be
avoided, Harmonious arrange-
ment is best illustrated in a
composite or mixed garden of
annuals, perennials and shrubs.
Consider these combinations: red
and violet petunias; yellow
gladiolus with yellow, orange and
bronze snapdragons; red salvias,
pink petunias and orange zinnias;
,purple delphiniums and red
bleeding heart, BIue petunias
with yellow snapdragons or blue
larkspur with orange calendula
provide good contrast. In any
arrangement, use less intense
colours in large masses with
smaller proportions of intense
colour. If red and white petunias
are used, plant a large proportion
of whites, Contrast is more
effective in large areas.
To avoid a colour smorgasborg,
use herbaceous plants or shrubs
with attractive green and silvery
gray foliage to dilute objection-
able contrast. ' Drifts of white
flowers interspersed with
greenery will also reduce possible
clashes, Pale yellow can be used
as a blender.
Do not skimp. Plant sufficient
plants within each grouping for
best effects,
Use dominant colours in large
areas and plant vivid colours in
front of dark green foliage of
perennials, shrubs, fence or
walls.
For sophisticated colour
arrangement, use straight colour
cultivars.
Repetition of colour throughout
the border is effective.

Home landscape
should serve people
By John D. Ambrose
Arboretum, University of Guelph
Does the typical residential
landscape design serve people
well? Maybe we should seek more
from our outdoor home environ-
ment than provided by the Pfitzer
junipers around the picture
window and the flowering crab on
the front lawn. The opportunities
for improving one's outdoor
environment and creating private
people spaces are many; let's
consider decisions open to us in
landscape design.
Trees and shrubs can signifi-
cantly alter the harshness of open
barren space. They can directly
modify the climate of the
immediate area. Wind can be
reduced or nearly eliminated with
yn+rtying densitites of plantings.
Temperatures arc more moderate
in planted areas --cooler during
'the midday summer heat and
warmer in the evening than
nearby open areas. Vines on a
building can keep it cooler during
the summer. And, dome ever-
green shrubs around a building
can insulate it from seasonal
extremes. Deciduous trees and
shrubs, properly oriented, can
screen the heat of the summer
sun, while allowing the desirable
warmth from the low winter sun
into our houses. Northern
exposures can be screened with
dense everr:rcen plants.
Plantings can screen many
other undesirable aspects of our
human environment. Noise can
be effectively reduced with
dense, continuous plantings, or
earth forms and plantings.Glare
from buildings, traffic, pavement
or other artifacts can be softened.
Dust is significantly lower in
areas of heavy vegetation than
adjacent open corridors. The
absorption of carbon dioxide and
release of oxygen is characteristic
of all green plants. In addition,
fumes and noxious gases appear
to be lower in areas of dense
vegetation.
First, one should assess
desirable and undesirable aspects
of a residential site. What view or
exposure or space should be left
open? Docs the prevailing wind,
the view of a busy highway, or the
noise from local industry warrant
screening? 11' so, what else May
result from such plantings?
Consider moderating the summer
heat, but also retaining winter
warmth by reducing wind and
allowing penetration of the sun.
Consider the various uses of
different outdoor areas. Outdoor
activities, flower and vegetable
garden areas will require high
sun exposure, patio or rest areas
need partial shade. 11 may be
desirable to define the space of
these areas to make some appear
open and expansive, others
secluded and private.
•
The gardener with special
interests can provide an
appropriate environment for his
or her specialty using appropriate
framework plantings of trees and
shrubs. A high, open canopy of
trees provides the setting for a
woodland garden.The fallen leave's
of a canopy of pines and oaks help
maintain an appropriate site for
Rhododendrons and other shrubs
requiring acid soil. The north side
of a dense screen will slow the
appearance of spring bulbs, the
south side will accelerate spring
flowering. Numerous trees and
shrubs will attract birds and other
animals, adding a dimension to
the recreated natural environ-
ment. Wildlife can also be
attracted by considering appro-
priate cover and winter food when
selecting plant material and
planning its placement.

Patio needs careful planning
PAVING A PATIO with ceramic tile makes a lot of sense.
Here, a patio of brick•shaped, earthen -hued quarry tile by
Monarch proves a wonderful stage for wicker, wrought iron
furniture, and greenery vacationing outside for the summer.
Adding a patio this year?
Fine idea. Al fresco living
is fun, and there's no ques-
tion that a lovely natio
will add to the value of
your home.
The perfect patio doesn't
happen automatically,
however, It takes pre-
planning, (Doesn't every-
thing worthwhile?) And
here, courtesy of the Tile
Council of America, is your
checklist for a successful
stage for your outdoor life:
1) Place the patio, so it
becomes a natural exten-
Some outdoor
cooking tips
If you're planning a siz-
zling barbeque cookout in
your backyard, at the camp-
site or on the beach, here are
some tips from the home
economists for Charmglow
barbeques worth keeping in
mind:
• Roasts, fowl and Larger
cuts of meat should always
• be brought to room tempera-
ture before barbequing.
Hamburgers, cube steaks,
skinless frankfurters and
smaller cuts of meat may be
barbequed directly from the
freezer, but plan on grilling
them longer when frozen.
• For maximum flavor,
sear meat on both sides with
the temperature set on high.
• Trim edges of fat from
meats so that drippings don't
flare up; slashing fat on
edges (at 2 -inch intervals)
prevents meat from curling.
• Meat is not ready to
turn until you see little bub-
bles on top surface. Turn
meat only one time, using
tongs or pancake turner so
you won't puncture it and let
juices escape,
• Never salt steaks,
burgers or chops until you
turn them. Salt and pepper
the browned side. Season
other side when you remove
meat from the barbeque.
• Occasional basting with
your favorite sauces will im-
part a special flavor to your
barbeque foods. Keep bast-
ing sauce hot on the bat'
beque; never brush hot food
with cold sauce.
• For broiling and most
grilling, you will want to
leave the grill open, but for
roasting with or without a
rotisserie, the lid may be
closed.
t
sion of the part of the
house where you and your
guests spend most of your
time,
(An off -the -bedroom,
vine -covered patio may
seem like a romantic idea.
But do you really want
barbecue guests trekking
through your bedroom?)
2) It should have easy
access to the kitchen,
3) A patio that can't be
reached without hiking
clear around the house
puts a damper on the out-
door life, So DO break
through a wall and install
doors to make that patio
easily accessible.
4) Do your "public"
rooms face the street, or is
that the side where you get
the sun or shade you
want? Then "hang" con-
vention and put your pat-
io there, Fences or shrub-
bery will give you privacy.
5) Choose easy -care,
sturdy materials for your
patio. Ceramic tile, a ma-
terial literally harvested
from the earth, is a fine
choice,
It's as natural as the
great outdoors itself, even
driving rain won't hurt it,
seasonal repairs and deck -
painting jobs become a
thing of the past, and all
you have to do is damp
mop to have it as spanking
clean as the living room
floors.
6) Choose a ceramic tile
that'll suit the style of your
house, Quarry tile in earth
colors will suit colonial,
provincial and informal
contemporary homes.
Glazed tile in bright pri-
mary colors, perhaps laid
in bold, geometric pat-
terns, will look wonderful
on the patio of a dra-
matically contemporary
house,
For formal vintage
homes, consider the paver
type of ceramic tile, pref-
erably in a brick shape.
The result will be as im-
pressive as a Sussex manor
house of the Georgian era,
7) Is a tree growing in
the area you've designated
for your new natio? Leave
it there. It'll provide shade.
Build the patio around it,
and consider circling the
tree trunk with a bench,
8) Greenery belongs on
the patio. Build some cer-
amic tile planters to match .
the patio floor.
9) Ceramic tile is also
the perfect material for
outdoor table tops, barbe-
cue pits, and a decorative
pool, for lilies or a pair of
fat goldfish,
10) Make sure you get a
ceramic tile type that'll
suit your climate. Ask the
advice of a distributor or
contractor. You'll find
them in the Yellow Pages.
Look under "Tile."
11) In the West and
South West, tile fountains
are popular patio features.
And no wonder. The sound
of trickling water is
charming. Patio people in
other parts of the country
ought to adopt this custom.

Plants give house
green thumb look
Plants have become the
biggest "must" in home
decor, and it's no wonder.
Greenery adds a refresh-
ing touch to any room and
looks right with every stye
of furnishings, from con-
temporary to colonial.
If you are or would like
to be a plant -lover, but
lack a green thumb, have a
home that's too dark or
drafty for plants, or just
want to fill in and bright-
en up hard -to -decorate
areas, don't despair; you
can spruce up your abode
with beautiful artificial
houseplants.
With a bit of ingenuity,
your home can look like a
veritable Garden of Eden.
And lifelike plants are not
affected by heat, cold or
the lack of light.
To keep these plastic
beauties looking their at-
tractive best, spray them
with Glass*Plus® glass,
appliance and cabinet
cleaner, and wipe with a
clean cloth or damp
sponge during the course
of your usual housekeep-
ing schedule.
If you enjoy the look of
foliage, some of these dec-
orating tips may be just
right for your home:
• Group imitation plants
of various sizes and shapes
to camouflage ugly radia-
tors or exposed air condi-
tioners.
• Tall artificial plants
can brighten up dark cor-
ners. Install back -lighting
to cast romantic shadows
on the walls at night.
• Decorate unused fire-
places with beautiful imi-
tation plant arrange-
ments. These groupings
also can be placed on the
mantle, when the fireplace
is in use.
• Use these lifelike
plants to decorate your
vacation home and never
worry about watering
while you're away.
• Create a garden effect
in your spare room with
artificial plant groupings,
tall trees and hanging
planters. These, combined
with rattan and wicker
furniture, create a year-
round summery atmos-
phere.

For the best looking lawn
plan before you plant
It always pays to do a little
planning before tackling a big
job. The garden can become a lot
of work and a little fun, if care is
not taken in advance.
Principles for planning a
garden or a border exclusively of
anuals, biennials or perennials
or integrated with shrubs and
trees are basically the same. The
following recommendations will
serve as guidelines for planning a
flower garden.
Draw a plan. It is easy to
assume a garden can be created
without any forethought. But, an
afterthought garden can be a
disaster. Planning is a must for
beginners. Many ardent
gardeners with years of
experience may have the ability to
organize a garden on -the -spot.
They are able to do so because of
their experience and knowledge
of plant materials, They can
Easter lilies can
go out to the
garden
Before deciding to throw out
your Easter lily, consider trans-
planting it in the garden.
Easter lilies (Liliunt long-
iflorum) can be grown success-
fully outdoors, says Theo Blom,
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food horticulturist. If you're
lucky, they may bloom again in
the fall.
Once the plant has bloomed
indoors, remove the anthers from
the flowers and keep the plant
well watered in a cool room, Mr.
Blom says lilies enjoy good Tight,
but not direct sunlight.
As soon as danger of frost is
past, remove the plant from the
pot and transplant to a partially -
shaded section of the garden.
Lilies prefer light soils with
good drainage and water -holding
capacity, but without high
fertility.
Because the Easter lily is not
entirely winter -hardy, Mr. Blom
recommends using a thick mulch
of leaves and straw to cover the
bulbs. If the winter is not too
severe, the bulbs should grow
and flower again next year.
Another method of protecting
bulbs for the winter is to dig them
up complete with roots, and store
them in a cool, dry place.
Mr. Blom says temperatures of
about IOC should be maintained
for six to eight weeks. After this
cold treatment, the bulbs can be
potted and kept at room tempera-
ture to encourage the growth of
new shoots.
Trees control
climate
Did you know that trees
can help control the climate
around your home and
yard?
Trees act as natural "air
conditioners," providing
protection from the hot
glare of the sun and can even
help you save on energy,
For example, deciduous
trees shading the west wall
and roof of your home, can
reduce heat within by as
much as 40 degrees,
Trees also function as
windbreakers, to cut down
cold effects of winds,
There are many ways you
can use trees to control your
immediate climate , . your
nursery can give you sug-
gestions on landscaping that
is as practical as it is deco-
rative,
conceive a picture of the garden
in their minds, including details
of colour, height and spread.
Many novices will gain from
recording information on a scale
drawing of our proposed garden,
How many of ns have had to
return to the garden centre to
purchase more plants because
you underestimated the number
required? Flow many have over -
purchased plants?
Planning will allow a more
precise inventory of what is
required foi' the garden.
There is no better way to learn
about plants than thumbing
through seed catalogues or
visiting garden centres and
collecting information about
plants.
What colours should we use?
Flow tall does the plant grow?
What spacing should be allowed?
All these answers arc available in
seed catalogues, gardening books
and extension bulletins.
Size of borders will be dictated by
location and space available,
relative to the total outdoor area.
Judgement has to be used to
determine the space which can be
allotted for a garden. Determine
what types of plants are required,
whether annuals or perennials,
alone or in combination.
Beginners arc advised to start out
moderately, -don't plan too large.
An arca 100 square feet should be
adequate. Additional arca can be
-(lcveloped the following year if
necessary.
Where space is limited to a
narrow strip of land along
driveways, sidewalks, founda-
tions, patio and fences, it is best
of use a simple design consisting
of one or two types of plants. A
border of bearded iris or a mass of
red petunia edged with white
alyssum serves well. Spring bulbs
such as crocus, daffodil and tulip
may be used for early spring
colour, followed by spreading
annuals such as vcrbenc and
petunia.
A well -harmonized flower
border can be hest designed with
herbaceous plants integrated in
an overall setting with shrubs and
trees. In this type of arrange-
ment, six to eight feet width is
most desirable to allow the use of
shrubs and small trees as back-
ground. A fence, wall or hedge
\V111 also enhance a flower border,
Allow at least two to three feet
between these structures and
plants for maintenance such as
weeding and staking, A minimum
width of three to four feet
necessary for a flower border if
diversity in plant species, height,
forst and colour is planned.
Depending on location,
available space and more
important, your choice, borders
may be designed informally with
Variations in elevation, shape and
contours. Free flowing curves will
create interest and ac1(1 to natural,
informal appeal. Geometric form
should be kept consistent to
maintain a formal appeal. Do not
attempt to use both informal and
formal design in one bed, Keep
these styles in different beds,

Hedges are living fences
By Russ gomme
Evergreens and shrubs can be
used in a variety of ways as
hedges throughout gardens. Oft-
en termed "living fences", hed-
ges are ideal to screen undesir-
able views; to divide areas of a
garden; to create private areas; as
backgrounds to flower borders; to
define property boundaries and to
provide windbreaks.
When planing hedges, be sure
to select the best plant for the
existing conditions, Some hedge
plants thrive in sunlight while
others prefer partial shade, There
are a few which are "at home" in
damp conditions while others
grow better in hot, sunny areas,
Plants such as Caragana seem to
grow better in northern parts of
the province,
Some shrubs adapt well as
prunded hedges for example,
privet, while some appear more
attractive in their graceful, natur-
al profile for example, Vanhoutti
Spirea.Evergreens make splendid
hedges as they retain their vivid
green appearance all year. How-
ever, evergreens need time to
grow and the initial cost should be
considered.
Ontario's climate permits the
use of a wide range of plants as
hedges. Select the type best
suited for your location and
pocketbook. Unfortunately, Bar-
berry hedges are no longer
available as they are a host to
serious rust disease in .grains,
When to Purchase
Early spring and niid-autumn

Early care
makes
healthy
roses
Early pruning and fertilizing
are important if you want at-
tractive and healthy roses, says
'I'hco Blom, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food horti-
culturist.
Roses should be pruned each
spring before the bushes leaf out
to help maintain the quality and
overall appearance of the plants.
Although each plant should be
pruned to its habit and amount of
growth, Mr, Blom says there are
some general guidelines.
Wait until the buds start to
swell, so you can determine which
branches are alive and which are
dead.
Don't cut below last year's
pruning. If you do, you weaken
the plant and the new shoots
won't be strong.
If the rose bushes are new and
this is their first pruning, prune
then about 20 to 30 centimetres
(8 to 12 inches) above the ground.
In subsequent years, prune a bit
higher and remove all dead wood
and weak, twiggy growth,
It is important to prune climb-
ing roses according to their
growth habits. Cut off the thin
branches so the plant does not
have too many blind shoots.
Established' roses will benefit if
fertilizer is applied during the
growing season, Mr, Blom re-
commends three applications of
balanced fertilizer in mid May,
June and August.
Apply the fertilizer to the soil
surface near the plants, then rake
or dig it under. A rate of 1/2 to 1
kilogram (1 to 2 pounds) of
fertilizer for each 9 square metres
(100 square feet) of rose garden is
recommended,.
Fertilizer formulas for roses are
available at garden centers, but
you, can apply the general-
purpose fertilizer used for lawns
and gardens.
measuring the total length to be
hedged. The higher the hedge is
to be grown, the farther apart
each plant should be spaced.
Usually, nurseries, garden ce-
ntres and outlets have quantity
prices for hedge plants.
The more plants purchased, the
lower the price, Smaller sized
plants are a good buy, as they arc
usually less expensive and establ-
ish themselves more easily in new
surroundings.
Hedges to be maintained in the
one to two foot range can be
planted as close as 10 inches
apart while hedges in the two to
four foot range should be planted
15 to 18 inches apart. Taller
hedges should be spaced two to
four feet aI art depending upon
the ultimate height.
How to Plant
Drive a stake in at each end of
the area to be hedged. Tie a cord
to each end making sure it is taut.
Use a sharp space to edge one
side of the trench. Place the first
spadeful of soil on one side of the
trench and the second spadeful,
which is likely subsoil, on the
opposite side. The trench should
be at least 18 inches deep. Dig it
deeper if the soil is not well
drained and fill in to an 18 inch
depth with stones.
Cut a wood stake the same
length that you wish to space the
hedge plants and use it to help
achieve uniform spacing. Each
plant should be planted about two
inches deeper than it was growing
in the nursey. This will allow for
soil settling and also encourage
more new growth at the base.
Add top soil around the roots and
a mixture of subsoil mixed with
peatmoss nearer the surface,
Firm the soil around each plant
with you heel.
Using the same cord and
stakes, establish a line to prune
about one-third of the top growth
away. After pruning, thoroughly
soak the plants with water, For
spring planting, fertilize the
plants with a balanced fertilizer
such as 7-7-7 at the rate of one
pound fertilizer for each 15 foot of
hedge.

Use common sense with pesticides
By F. L. McEwen
Home gardeners can protect
plants against pests using the
many types of pesticides avail-
able. Today we have many
pesticides, each one packaged in
a variety of ways. For the home
gardener, these are formulated in
several ways. These include
liquids to be diluted with water
and sprayed onto the foliage of
plants to protect them from
insects and diseases, or applied to
the soil for control of pests in the
soil.
The homeowner can also pur-
chase dust4formulations in shaker
Mulches add
cans, ready -to -apply or in pack-
ages to be emptied into your own
duster for application. Granular
formulations are also available,
sometimes mixed with fertilizer,
for control of soil and lawn
insects, diseases and weeds.
On each package will be found
a label that specifics how the
product should be used and what
pests it will control, THIS, LABEL
IS IMPORTANT. 1t is your guide
to successful use of the product.
Follow the instructions carefully
and use the product only as the.
label directs.

To landscaping;
Perhaps you have seen a bed of
red geraniums w!lere the flowers
seem to stance out much more
strikingly than those on other
properties. The plants seem to be
as healthy and as vigorous in both
areas but on close inspection you
find that in the first, the soil
surface has beencovcred with a
dark chocolate -coloured peat
moss and that this peat moss
enhances the appearance of the
geraniums by acting as a
contrasting background for Illy
red flowers and green foliage.
Attractive mulches can add a
new dimension to the landscape,
providing both texture and colour
contrast to all area. While we
usually think of a 111(11011 as a

There are other organic
mulches which can be ' used.
Cocoa bean shell also provides a
rich brown colour and a coarser

that in constant moisture the
shells can in time become rather
grey and moldy, The use of peat

but all are heavier in appearance
than either cocoa bean shell or

When installing st(ine•-and

good plan to first place a
polyethclene sheet on the
surface, add about five centi-
meters of sand, and then place the
;tone. This prevents weeds from

Do not, however, corer areas of
':rets or shrubs with pl.. astic. This
would prevent the necessary
exchange of gases to the roots. In
selecting your mulch, think also
of the possibilities in coloured
marble, granite and quarry chips,
of crushed tile or brick for warns

insects. Carbaryl (Sevin), meth-
oxychlor, pyrethrum and rot-
enone are good to control most
beetles and leaf -eating caterpil-
lars, while malathion is good to
control aphids and some other
insects,
Insecticides should be used
only if a lot of insects are feeding
on your plants. Don't bother with
the sprayer for a few bugs. If only
afew are present on a few plants,,
it is much easier to pick them off
by hand or shake them from the
plant and destroy them.
Fungicides arc products to
prevent diseases in plants. Man -
ch, mancozeb, captan and ferbam
are some of those used commonly
by the home gardener for general
disease control, and sulfur is
especial!y good for mildew on
plants.
When using fungicides, be
guided by past experience. if you
have been having disease pro-
blems in the garden, treat those
plants where the problem has
(xcurred. Foliar diseases on roses
are usually present and will make
them unattractive and not produc-
tive. With many flowers and
garden crops, however, fungic-
ides arc not necessary
Herbicides arc used to control
weeds; 2,4-D, nlecoprop and
dicanba are a few of those
available for control of broad-
leaved weeds, while others are
needed to control crabgrass.
Herbicides properly used will
play a major role in keeping your
lawn neat and attractive.
Herbicides are intended to kill
plants and one must be very
careful not to accidentally apply
these when they will damage
sensitive, crops. Always use a
different sprayer for applying
herbicides from the one used for
insecticides and fungicides. Label
your herbicide sprayer to make
sure it is used only for weed
spraying.
In Ontario, highly toxic pest-
icides can be purchased only by
agriculturalists and licensed pest-
icide applicators. Those available
to the home gardener are quite
safe and will not injure children or
pets, provided common sense is
used.
Remember all Pesticides are
Poisonous.
Keep all pesticides in a locked
cabinet out of the reach of small
children, Do not apply pesticides
on windy days, most of what you
apply will end up in your
neighbor's yard. Apply when the
air is reasonably calm and make
applications so the air movement
curries the spray away from the
applicator. Do not have children
or pets with you when applying
pesticides and make sure pleasur-
ing containers and spray mixtures
are not left where children may
get them.
When you have finished the
job, empty your sprayer in a safe
place and return it to your
storage. Do not purchase more
than one year's supply of any
pesticide, and when the container
is empty, dispose of it in your
regular garbage pickup.

Tips
Storms, electrical black-
outs and other emergen-
cies are all too common
these days. But, how many
of us are truly prepared
to meet these sudden
problems?
All it takes is a cool head
and some forethought —
especially a careful evalu-
ation of your home to be
sure it's equipped with
emergency supplies.
Know your home
First, know your home.
orasa
er home
15
Make • a plan with your
family to determine emer-
gency exits — and practice
using them, If you live in
a two-story home, be sure
to keep fire ladders at
strategic windows to in-
sure a safe exit,
In addition, keep a list
of emergency phone num-
bers — including fire, po-
lice and, of course, your
family physician — next
to each telephone in the
house.
Second, keep emergency
equipment on hand, One
useful kitchen aid is a fire
extinguisher. It should be
stored near, but not next
to, the stove so there's no
danger of having to reach
past a flame or fire to get
at it.
Another item to keep in
the kitchen is a can of
Drain Power, the non -
caustic drain opener.
Drain Power works in one
second by using pressure
waves instead of hazard-
ous lyes or acids to clear
clogged or sluggish drains,
And it's safe for all struc-
turally sound pipes and •
septic tank systems, too.
Store clearly marked
In addition, keep basic
emergency supplies on
hand, such as a flashlight
with fresh batteries,
matches in a waterproof
container, candles, fuses
and a flrst-aid kit,
Other important items,
particularly in case of a
blackout, are canned heat,
bottled water, canned food
and a non -electric can
opener. You might want
to store all of your emer-
gency supplies in a special
cupboard clearly marked
for babysitters and house -
guests.
Prior planning can help
you get througlmergen-
cies with a minimum of
hassle. Isn't the resulting
peace of mind 'worth a
little time and trouble?

TO ILLUSTRATE A LIST OF KITCHEN DOs and DON'Ts,
Gillette has devised a simple "before" and "after" illustra-
tion of a safe kitchen and an "accident prone" kitchen.
Due to the amount of appliances and activity centered
around this particular room, it's essential to take special
precautionary measures to ovoid fire and other hazards.
For example, a knife rack to safely store sharp cutlery, a
Captain Kelly Fire Extinguisher placed not over, but next
to the stove for easy access in the event of a lire, and pot
holders hung in their place are just a few tips that could
spare you a kitchen occident.
The dos and don'ts
of safe; kitchen
planning, upkeep
Safety should begin at
home, judging from a Na-
tional Safety Council sta-
tistic that one-third of the
persons injured each year
are either in the
home or on the home
premises.
High risk area
With greater precau-
tionary measures, this fig-
ure could be reduced—es-
pecially in particular areas
of the home like the kitch-
en, where accident risk is
high.
The Gillette Company,
makers of smoke detectors
and fire extinguishers de-
signed to keep every room
in the home safe from the
threat of fire, has a par-
ticular concern for kitchen
safety,
Because over 65 per cent
of home fires start in the
kitchen, special care
should be taken in this
room where there is a con-
centration of electrical ap-
pliances,
Huh of activity
To keep the room that is
usually the "hub of activ-
ity" safe from fire and
other hazards, Gillette rec-
ommends these kitchen
DOs and DON'Ts.
• DON'T overload sock-
ets by plugging too many
power-hungry appliances
into one outlet. And re-
member to install outlets
high enough above the
counter so that water can't
get into them,
• DO hang a knife rack
in a convenient spot out of
children's reach to avoid
injury to curious little
hands,
• DO install a flre ex-
tinguisher—like the light-
weight, decorator -designed
Captain Kelly Dry Chem-
ical Fire Extinguisher—
on a wall next to the stove
for easy reach, Never in-
stall one over the stove,
where a surface fire could
prevent you from reaching
the safety unit,
• DO keep floor space
clean and free from haz-
ardous toys or other ob-
jects that might literally
"trip you up."
• DON'T use an electric
mixer or another small ap-
pliance next to a kitchen
sink filled with water,
where it might slip in and
you would be apt to reach
for it.
• DO check plugs and
cords often for signs of
wear.
• DO have a towel rack
placed where it should be
—by the sink—for easy ac-
cess to wipe up dripping
slippery puddles on the
floor.
• DON'T toss flammable
hot pads carelessly over an
electric range where they
might start a fire on a
burner that has been
turned off but is still hot.
• DO keep a small first-
aid kit in a drawer in the

Beware of
overimproving
The National Horne Im-
provement Council warns
homeowners who are
thinking about making
improvements to their
homes, to beware of over -
improving a house for its
neighborhood.
Don't, for example, pour
$75,000 into a house in a
neighborhood of $50,000
houses, unless you truly
love your home, hope to
stay in it a long time and
don't care about getting
your money back.
Beware also of spending
money on improvements
just to increase the resale
value of your . house. This
seldom pays (except, some-
times, prior to selling when
a house needs new paint)
No matter what the im-
provement or moderniza-
tion, it will add top -dollar
value only when it is ap-
propriate for the house.

What face does your house present?
If you are among the
many families considering
the purchase of an older
home or remodeling your
present home, you may be
faced with the problem of
deteriorating wood siding
or stucco and the need for
a new look.
Paint could give you a
fresh appearance, but it
may be costly to contract
and time consuming to do
it yourself. Repainting
may be required again in
three to five years.
New pre -finished siding
could be your best invest-
ment, especially when ob-
tained from those manu-
facturers who offer long-
term warranties that pro-
vide reasonable protection
against product defects.
First impressions count
The outside.of your
home is the first "face" you
present to your visitors
and neighbors. New siding
and shutters or a new
front door can give a
brand-new welcoming ap-
pearance.
Consider the outside of
your house in its entirety,
and decide how you would
like it, to look when it's
been redecorated.
Color is in these days—
shades like olive, avocado,
barn red, royal brown, co-
lonial blue, and autumn
gold will make your home
look cozy and snug.
If you have a ranch -type
home, you might want to
accentuate its long and
low lines by using hori-
zontal siding in a color
lighter than the roof.
Even the architectural
extravagances of Victorian
castles and other vintage
styles can be preserved
and enhanced by careful
selection of colors and at-
tention to the charming
detail of antique design.
Decorators advise never
to use more than three
colors on the outside of
your home. For instance, if
you have a brown roof, you
might think about re -sid-
ing with a barn red siding,
brown shutters, white trim
around the windows, and
a brown and white front
door.
With careful planning,
your new siding and acces-
sories will present a lovely
"face" to your visitors and
neighbors, and enhance
the styling and value of
your home. So you should
put as much thought into
refurbishing the outside of
your home as you would
into redecorating your liv-
ing room,
Aluminum siding prob-
ably has the widest range
of styles, colors and acces-
sories. It has been on the
market for 30 years and
has been used in residing
millions of homes.
Low maintenance
There are a number of
reasons for this, Alumi-
num siding comes in dur-
able baked -on finishes, is
easy to clean, and is light
in weight—which makes it
easier to work with than
other metals. Probably its
Doors
decorate
Everyone thinks of
doors in terms of the
rooms they connect with.
There are front doors and
back doors, kitchen doors
and bedroom doors, base-
ment and attic doors.
Some doors, however, do
more than merely open
and close.
Wood louver doors are
an example. Besides kitch-
en doors, bedroom doors,
closet doors, bath and
laundry room doors, wood
louver doors can also be
used as decorative screens,
room dividers and con-
necting doors.
They're suitable for in-
formal kitchens, formal
dining rooms or as con-
necting doors between the
two.
They function especially
well as kitchen, bath,
laundry and closet doors
where they permit the free
flow of air to circulate,
helping to combat heat
and humidity, odors, stale-
ness and mildew.
Wood louver doors are
available as folding or
sliding units, which makes
them ideal for closets in
narrow foyers or hallways
where floor clearance
space is limited.
Folding louver doors
open and close like an
accordion, requiring little
floor space. •

biggest selling point is its
time -proven low mainten-
ance,
New insulated alumi-
num siding can help to re-
duce heat loss through
your walls, especially when
they are uninsulated or
partially insulated. The
potential savings in fuel
bills added to the main-
tenance saved in repaint-
ing wood siding can
usually pay for residing in
less than ten years.
The newest siding on the
market is vinyl, a plastic
material that has been
used for floor tile and
plumbing pipe for many
years. Because vinyl plas-
tic can become brittle
when exposed to sunlight,
it must be carefully form-
ulated and is only avail-
able in pastel colors and
white.
Normal weathering
Prefinished hard board
is available in various pat-
terns and colors, but does
not have the long-term
low maintenance charac-
teristics of aluminum.
The exposed edges of
prefinished steel siding are
vulnerable to the elements
and may deteriorate if
protective coatings fail.
Each type of prefinished
siding has its advantages,
but all will change some-
what in color over a period
of time once they' are on
your home and exposed to
sun, wind, water and tem-
perature extremes, This is
called normal weathering.
Although color coatings
have become appreciably
better over the past few
years, manufacturers and
home improvement con-
tractors still can't (and
shouldn't) guarantee 100
percent absolute color re-
tention. This is true of
vinyl plastic siding (which
is a "solid color coating")
as well as of color coatings
applied to aluminum,
hardboard, and steel,
MODERN LIFESTYLES require low -maintenance products like the aluminum siding
that dresses this classic two-story suburban home.

Add a fireplace to your vacation home
In addition to enjoying
the great outdoors, a vaca-
tion home means quiet,
relaxing times indoors, too,
And what's more delightful
than gathering around a fire
in the evening to watch the
flames or pop some corn'?
The wide variety of pre-
built, factory -engineered
fireplaces available today
makes it easy and economi-
cal to add a fireplace t0 a
cottage or even to a mobile
home.
If you want a fireplace
with a built-in look, you can
opt for a complete unit con-
sisting of a heavy metal in-
sulated fire chamber, chim-
ney sections and roof ter-
mination. This type is built
for "zero clearance," which
means it can be safely in-
stalled on an existing floor
and against walls without
extensive or expensive re-
modeling, The interior
framing can be done in any
style that matches the room
decor. One of these units can
cost as little as $800 install-
ed, and a reasonably skilled
do-it-yourselfer can do the
job,
Since skilled fireplace
masons are a vanishing
breed in many areas of the
country, prebuilt fireplaces
are preferred by many new
Home builders because they
actually work better than
many masonry fireplaces,

nates the chance. of error in
construction.

Natural -look rugs make rooms feel rustic
The natural look is "in"
with everything from the
way you dress and look to
the way you decorate your
home and prepare your
food. Rustic, country
kitchens with home -baked
bread seem to be as popu-
lar in New York City ,as on
a Vermont farm.
Along with the grand
"return to nature" is a
longing for heritage and
tradition. Arts and crafts
ring with ethnic flavor,
The needlework,long ago
abandoned by our grand-
mothers and aunts, has
suddenly reappeared with
patterns reminiscent of
peasant backgrounds.
Even the colors are "nat-
ural" and speak of the rich
earth, Brown, gold, "peas-
ant blue," rust, green, and
a spirited terracotta en-
hance the motifs of a sim-
pier way of life.
If you long for a "heri-
tage home" of your own,
but your great -great
grandmother didn't leave
you any 300 -year-old heir-
looms, how do you begin?
Let's start with the eat -in
kitchen.
First, there are the es-
sentials: a table—possibly
with a butcher block top,
and the chairs. In the cor-
ner, a clear wood etagere
to hold such "rustic" ac-
cessories as a ceramic jar,
mugs, dishes, lots of plants
and a wooden wine rack.
With the proper amount
of ambition, you can panel
the walls in rough -tex-
tured pine "crate" wood,
and hang a few copper
pots and pans to add to the
country feeling.
For the heirloom -look,
A RUSTIC KITCHEN paneled in rough textured pine
"crate" wood is warmed up with "Jelling" a whimsical rug
from Ege Rya's new 100% wool Heritage Collection. Styl-
ized peasant motifs that enhance the country atmosphere
arc authentic designs from a eirea 16th -18th century Sean-
dinavian wall -hanging. Clear wood furnishings as well as
the earth -toned rug colors create a sense of hack -to -essen-
tials characteristic of the current "naturals" style.
A family room to suit
your personal lifestyle
Does your family room
look like the high school
football squad used it for
a practice field? If so, it
could mean it's time to re-
decorate.
With the various styles
of contemporary furniture
and accessories available
today, you have many op-
tions when choosing fur-
nishings which are both
functional and attractive.
Basics for a family room
often include a couch, re-
cliner lounge chair, one or
two stationary chairs, end
tables with lamps and,
perhaps, several small,
Portable cube tables or a
coffee table.
Determine your family's
needs -you might want to
include a larger card table
with matching chairs,
bookshelves and cabinets,
too. You may find the lat-
ter items are especially
useful if your family room
doubles as a game room or
den.
Whatever pieces of fur-
niture and accessories you
decide upon, remember
they'll need routine main-
tenance to keep them look-
ing their best.
Many styles are avail-
able in the new leather -
look vinyls and in lami-
nated and translucent
plastics—good, durable
materials for family room
furnishings as they can be
easily cleaned
A family room is meant
to be used, not just looked
at. By choosing furnish-
ings for it that are stylish,
functional and easy to
care for, you'll have cre-
ated a room the whole
family can enjoy.
Seek out
energy
savers
Homeowners planning to
renovate their kitchens
will find some surprising
innovations in appliances,
especially power -saving
features and improved in-
sulation,
One energy-saving re-
frigerator uses about a
third less electricity than
other models not equipped
with its special thermosta-
tically controlled motor.
While it is true that the
amount of electricity con-
sumed by a refrigerator
each operating hour is a
modest amount, it's also
true that it is operated
twenty-four hours around
the clock
what about an area rug
with stylized peasant mo-
tifs that is an authentic
design from a circa 16th -
18th century Scandinavian
"rollakan" or wall hang-
ing?
A rug from Ege Rya's
new 100% wool Heritage
Collection would be perfect.
Woven in Denmark, the
patterns are naive and
charming, filled with
whimsical ladies, stylized
birds, roosters, plants, flow-
ers, and animals, There is
even an 18th -century wed-
ding scene.
Reproductions are faith-
ful, including in many
such details as the date in
which the original was
woven and the initials of
its maker, as well as all the
charming little weaving
mistakes, And the color
combinations are just
right.
These stylized peasant
motif rugs enhance the
country atmosphere in any
room, and you'll almost be-
lieve your great -great
grandmother really did
leave you a 300 -year-old
priceless possession!
