Worst. the airport manager is neyer available when he's miost needed. And. as uisial. he*s Lnavailable for comment. It is just one big nightmnare. trying to gel sorne co-operation or assistance from the airport personnel. To end this kind of "reception", newsmen who landed toge ther presented an eigh t-page brie f to the regional man- ager, ou tlining their problemis. The press is ýasking that some of the restrictions be lifted and that a full.îime press officer be appointed who could alleviate the existing problems. And, for the first time, 1 must say. the MOT is concerned about good press relations, so we were told. 1 arn glad that this was officially acknowledged and from now on things may look up at our airports. But, if any headway was made at this meeting, for one we should. be thankful to Cal Millar, the man who made this con- frontation possible. The airport batlle is not over yet. but l'ni sure the press now is headed in the right direction. , And, if something goes wrong, Cal is likely to strike again. The press should rally around this journalist who is battling for the basis righits of freedom. The freedomi of the press must be preserved at any cost and aI any lime. l'n glad 1 received this phone caîl. It was one of the more important calîs worth remembering. COURT REPORT "When a rman drives at speeds like that through Columbus, if that isn't dangerous driving1 don't know what is. No one can go running around in the middle of the night ai high speeds like that. The Police and the Public can't afford to have it," said Provincial Court Judge H.W. Jermyn.

Choose a place in ful Sun and away from trees and shrubs so the vegetables needn't compete with their rools. Select as level an area as possible. Consider this garden as part of your total landscape. You will possibly want a low fence to set it off from the other sections of your grounds. If so, remnember that tomnatoes, cucumbers, peas, and somne beans are ail vines and can be sup- ported on the fence, so build it accordingly. Think also of the nearness of a water supply for, if the stîmner is dry, artificial ý,va- tering will be nccessary. And DONT nake your garden too large. Once the soil is pre- pared and seeds are sown. a garden that is 20 by 50 feet in size takes only an hour a week 10 maintain. Ask each miember of the farnily %hich vegetables he or she likes and plant only those. There is no point or sense in planting somiething that won't be enjoyed. Unless youi have plenty of roorn. it's better not to grow the vegetables that require a lot of space. Make a list of the ones you want to grow and group thern according bo the number of days they take to reach edible size. You'Il find this figure in the seed catalogues and on the seed packets. THE PLAN Then. on a piece of paper, lay out your garden. The short season vegetables that mature quickly, like radishes and green onions, should be planted at one end so another vegetable like beans can bc sown as soon as they are har- vested. Spacing between rows is important 10, consider when you plan. The closest that rows cari be -planted, even with upright growing vege- tables like carrots or beets, is one foot. Eighteen inches would give you more room 10o manG iver. There are two practices you can use to advantage when you plan your earden. Suc- tessI an plan ting anfd inter- cropping. Bot/i insure grearer production fromn your garden space. Succession planting means both planting the same vege- tables several limes during the season for continuing bar- vest and. as indicated above, planting one vegetable in a space vacated by another. Intercropping means plant- ing early-rnaturing crops be- tween rows of long season plants. You can first set out plants of toniatoes and pep- pers which need several feet in which 10 miature. While hey are small they don't need the space, so grow rows of peas between theni and har- vest the peas before the larg- er plants need aIl the space alloted 10 them. Spend some time choosing varieties of the vegetables you have decided to grow. There's a world of difference between them. In general, hybrid varieties are sturdier. produce more. and have su- perior flavour. There are also varieties that are resistant to one or several common plant diseases. These are plainly indicated in catalogues and on seed packets. Just because Grandpa grew a certain variey is no reason why you should since newer ones are generally so greatly insprov'ed. If in doubi w/se:h- er a vari ezy :hrives in, your area, realize t/la! seedsnen serve t/se counzry and usually /sandle only widely ada pied varieties. Planning a vegetable gar- den is fun-plantîng one is, too. It can be a family proj- ect as can the laler care of the garden and the harvesting of the crop. FER TILIZE Most of you know about fertihizers. 1 ike t10 broadcast a balanced fertilizer such as Grills, 33, of 540 Mary St., E., Whitby to nine days in jail and probation. His drivers license was suspended for 12 months. During the probation "there is to be no drinking." This is Mr. Grills third offence on the charge of driving with an excess of alcchol in the system. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Constable VanDoleweerd saw a car northbound on Perry Street, Whitby at 1:30 a.m. February 26th being driven in "an erratic manner." The vehicle turned east on Mary Street continuing in an erratic manner until t reached an apartment building parking lot. The Officer spoke to the accused who, in the Officer's opinion, "was intoxicated." A breath test indicated a reading of 280 mgm of alcohol per 100 mm of blood at the tîme of the test. Provincial Court Judge Jermyn wvarned thai the fines for this type of offence, drinkinrj and driving, are going to "be heavy fines. If you want to drive; don't drink," he stated.
