Assistants are Frank Stephens and Mrs. Aileen Chiddicks, Bobcaygeon - Mr. Stephens was re-elected at this time, he has assisted the District Director in every way possible and was thanked. On behalf of Horticultural mem- bers and the Association, Mr. Dodds thanked Alberta and Frank Stephens for their enthusiastic promotion of horticulture - everywhere. Following dinner in the Town Hall, Mayor Garnet Rickard congratulated mem- bers of the Newcastle Horti- cultural Society, now cele- brating their 60th anniversary year, for the amount of publie beautification the Society has given to the village over the years. He spoke, too, of the enormous task of newly- - organized municipalities as they try to bring order out of confusion, "that's what mod- ern Society seems to be all about." Miss Gladys McLatch), r Richmond Hill, is 1974 Presi- - dent of Ontario Horticultural Association & brought greet- ings and good wishes to the District Annual Convention at Newcastle. She urged ber listeners to make a real effort to bring in members of various ethnic groups who have so much to offer - reminded us of the convention theme: "Horticulture, a CHALLENGE for the future", and closed by saying, "If you give a smile you can be sure you'll get one back." Russell Gomme, Agincourt, Ontario Horticultural Assoc- iation secretary brought greetings from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture. He .spoke of the pleasure of meeting gardeners, people who are always willing to share their interests. It bas been felt that the Ministry could do more for horticulture - the Societies Act is now under review and we are hopeful that changes will be implemented. JustIike putting the frosting on the cake, Mrs. Gladys Brown of Orono delighted her listeners with piano select- ions, some oId ballads in which everyone 'sang along' the Dill Pickle Rag and a selection very much in the public limelight at this time, "Reach out your hands, and touch somebody" telling of the importance of loving. The very clever climax provided by Mrs. Brown - a tiny puppet, or mannekin, or what-you- may-call-it - danced on a rhythm board to the tune of "Five Foot Two" and delight- ed everyone present. (The dance routines were authent- ic, too, I was watching very closely and loving it!) Junior Gardener exhibits - won by Peterborough and Newcastle and Bowmanville Junior Gardeners in that order, received compliments from judges AI Crawford and Russell Gomme. "Vegetable Virtuosos" display was won by Newcastle (District cup awarded) and Rice Lake. Gardeners were delighted with the practical, illustrated instructions for growing "WATERLILIES" given by Mr. AI Crawford of Oro Station. It was most informa- tive and right down to the level of beginners who re- sponded with how-and-why questions. Newcastle should be having some new lily pools next summer; Phil Dodds, Picton "Let's Smarten Up Those Flower Shows" sug- gested different names: Flower Festivals, or wbat- ever, but get away from 'flower show' titles. Mrs. Chiddicks extended thanks and appreciation to everyone who had contributed to this very enjoyable day- long program for gardeners. Prize-winning photographic transparencies of the 1973 O. H. A. competition were pro- jected by Frank Stephens.

The weather was just about perfect - and gardeners were thanked for spending the time indoors.at Newcastle - but all left for home with plans for 'next year' the main topic of discussion.
