ThIs worshop does not deal with the Activities of any special organ- ization, but rather with. study of the Christian faith gel?, era' and the application of it in daily living. Women of all ages.from throughout t e 'Deese have been attending each year, also a number from other Canadian Dioceses. It is open to all Anglian women. "The Bible Speaks in An Anxious Age" is the subject for study this year, and the director will again be the Rev. Donald E. Bodley, Ph.D., who organized this very successful educational •project 6 years ago. The Right Rev. G. N. Luxton, Bishop of Huron, and Mrs. Lux- ton will be special guests at the dinner on the Friday eve- ning, and the Bishop will speak ease called "damping off". The easiest way of preventing it is to use sphagnum most, vermi- culate, sand or a special •and thoroughly sterilized soil. The first two are the easiest to se- cure being available at -,any seed store. Actually neither the seed nor the plant slips need any great amount of nourishment to germinate and start growth. Just keeping the planting med- ium moist but not wet is suf- ficient for the first two to three weeks. Later when well rooted and the time comes for first transplanting, nourishment is provided in the shape of rich potting soil, with some drain- age in the bottom of the flower pot or flat. Sphagnum or peat moss, too, is an ideal condition- er for heavy or very light soil. A two-inch layer dug into .a flower bed thoroughly will change the whole structure of the soil in a few weeks making it loose or friable as the experts say and far- more retentive of moisture. . Helpful Information To build a house, one should know something about the size, shape, color and special use of the materials to be used in con- struction, and what goes with what and when. To create, de- velop' or build a good garden we need sithilar detailed infor- mation, and the seed catalogue is where we will find it. When we plant, how deep to plant- and how far apart -how big the plant will grow, when it will bloom or be fit to use - how to protect it from insect and disease -what sort of a lo- cation, sunny or shady -rich or poor soil, etc.,) etc. Answers to all these questions will be found -in the catalogue, and the infor- mation will be . specially tuned to Canadian cliniste and other conditions. There are lots, of beautiful flowers, and some vegetables that may d.o well in Florida or Italy, but will be a failure here. These, however, will never be listed in a Cana- dian seed catalogue, or offer- ed by a reputable Canadian seed merchant. Only something field tested and found suited to our vigorous climate will be listed and recommended. • Lawn Work Early One pla6 the impatient gar- dener can start once the snow goes and the ground is fairly dry is, on the lawn. Grass is a cool weather plant and can be sown as early as possible. Lat- er snows and frost will not hurt it at all. As a matter of fact, it is well in most 'Ports Of Can= ada to do all grass seeding before or after the. summer heat, that is upto mid-June or after the end of August. Too many people seem to forget that grass is a plant, and like other plants it needs food and moisture regularly for the best results. An applica- tion of commercial fertilizer, high in itrogen every, spring or fall and thorough watering during very dry weather, will ensure a smooth luxuriant growth and rich dnepco1or, and this willalso- ten to crowd out weeds. Of course, even more important is good seed, because without it, it will be impossible to prodUce a first class -lawn. Any good seed for the average home owner will be a high ' class blended mikture of several varieties of early, medium and late matur- ity, specially balanced to pro- duce even, line and deep green color throughout the entire sea- son • ,),",), ;04 , atthe 0.13e 0.0e.P.,94, The Rural Deans of tlie.

Many women of the Diocese have attended these workshops from the beginning, valuing this exceptional oppOrtunity for study with other WOraen of sim- ilar intere4ts,- but each year there are also many attending for the first time and they ;are very quickly assimilated into the life of this interesting Meth- od of group study.

' Fidelity, Bonds have been examined for only those Treasurers of the School Boards' that are listed on Sche- dule, #20, and therefore it is presumed that the remaining Treasurers are not bonded. The Bank Loan appears to be in excess of 'the amount allowed by the Municipal Act. The 1962 deficit was not included in the 1963 Budget as required by the Municipal Act. • There are many sundry accounts receivable for grader charges and materials sold by the Township, some .accounts dating' back to 1961 that have not been collected. Where possible, these accounts should be added to the Collector's Roll; and if this is not possible, then an effort should be made to collect them directly. • Auditor's Qpinion Subject to the following qualifications, I hereby report that in my °Pinion: (1) The financial transactions which have come under my notice have been within the powers of the Municipality.„ (2) The Audit has been conducted in accordance with the instructions of the Department of Municipal Affairs. • (3) The financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Municipality as at December 31, 1963, and the results of its operations for the year - ended on that, date.
