Many ouf the novelties originated in Europe. PFrom France, for instance, comes Good News, changâ€" ing from apricotâ€"pink in the bud to a silvery pink fullâ€"blown. It is said to be a sturdy growth and with its blooms. And that‘s the first bit of good news out of France for many a day.

While offerings for the trial béds have been reduced by wartime conditions, he found several varieties worthy of praise. Poinsettia was one of them, and was awarded the Society‘s certificate of merit. Like the famous Los Angeles it originated with Howard and Smith of California. A brilliant red, this H.T. rose through two years of obserâ€" vation has maintained good growth and opulence of bloom. ~Also found worthy of a certificate, was Rosenelte, a pink hybrid polyantha, neat . ana compact. in habit, . with abundant charm in bud and bloom stages alike.

If this rose blooms AS prettily as spring flowers from the same region, we are all for it. In our own garden, daffodils from British Columbia provided a display of healthy srowth and floral excellence that surâ€" passed the showing of imported bulbs in other years.

Activities of Air Cadets Continues to Gain Momentum ‘The organization of a Provincial Committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada has just been completed in Manitoba, and this committee will assist in the development of Air Cadet Units throughout that province. In a recent issue The Advance made reference to the application made by the “K Boys‘ Club committee to establish a branch of the Air Cadet League in Timmins. This League will soon be in active effect here, but until the necessary approval arrives from Ottawa, together with the required application forms little can be done further here in the matter. In the meantime, howsever, the following arâ€" ticle from O‘tawa may be of interest here:â€" Mr. Arthur Melling, Honorary Secreâ€" taryâ€"Treasurer of the Air Cadet League of Canada, and Flight Lieutenant R. wW. Frost, RCAF. Liaison Officer, made a fiyving trip to Winnipeg to atâ€" tend the inaugural meeting of the Provincial Committee, and they also attended, on the following day, a meetâ€" ing in Regina of those lnterested in forming a Provincial Committee in Saskatchewan. Mr. Melling stated he was greatly impressed and pleased with the proâ€" gress made in the west. Great interâ€" est and enthusiasm was shown by many prominent citizens and school authoriâ€" ties, which augured well for the sucâ€" cess of the Air Cadet movement. Also, full coâ€"operation is being given by R.CAF. Officers from both the westâ€" ern Training Commands. The Canadian boys will have elemenâ€" tary training similar to that supplied to the RCAF.., which covers the groundâ€"work before actual fiying. The Basic Training will cover two years and take approximately 216 hours. The subjects to be studied are Ad~â€" ministration, Aero: Engines, Aircradt Recognition, Airframes, Airmanship, Armament. Drill, First Aid, Knots and splices, Maps and Map Reading, Mathematics, Model Building, Physiâ€" cal Training, Signals and Theory of Flight. Upon completion of the Basic Air Cadet Training, Air Cadets may specialize in Aero Engines, Aircraft Construction, Air Armaments, Air Crew Aerial Navigation, Aerial Photography, Radio or Wireless. Much of the work will probably be done through schools, outside of school hours, and it is anâ€" ticipated that in some provinces it may be possible to allow high school boys taking the air cadet course credits which would count towards matriculaâ€" tion. There is a Dominion Governâ€" ment capitation grant of $1.00 per Countless enquiries are coming in to Headquartérs evidencing the enâ€" thusiasm of boys all across Canada in the Air Cadet movement. "It is this keen interest of the boys that has been responsible for the development of the scheme," stated Plight Lieutenâ€" ant PFrost. The League is patterned after a proven organization, The Air Cadet Defence Corps of the United Kingdom, which was started before the war. Through this organization there The organization of Committees in the remaining provinces is expected in the near future and both officials felt confident that the training plan will be in full swing by the fall of this year. are now 190,000 boys taking aviation training in Great Britain." year to be paid to Units for each proâ€" ficient Senior Air Cadet who is at~ tended a minimum number of lectures and parades.
