Little things like giv- ing, sharing and loving were the most common themes of the evening which featured a heart- warming speech by travelling Pastor Edith- Ann McManiman of Ep- som, Utica and Goodwood. "And I see some here who have given me little gifts along the way," she told the crowd who had gathered in the Latcham Centre. "It really is in giving that we receive." The giving in Com- munity Care's case, is usually a gift of time. The many - volunteers who donate their time and energy to the organization were recognized several times throughout the evening for the impressive amount of work they have done throughout the five years Community Care has been in operation. The various clubs and organizations who have donated funds to keep the work going in those. years were also reward- ed Wednesday night. Twenty-one different groups were awarded certificates of thanks for their monetary gifts, in- cluding the Catholic Women's League, the "Blue Ray Chapter of the Eastern Star, the C.P.&T. Committee of Warizer. Lodge, the Beta Sig a Rpi--Thela Delta, ..

Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor was there to offer his congratulations as was Paul Tuttle, Co- ordinator of Durham Regional' Community Care. Mr. Tuttle spoke proudly of the relatively low profile the organiza- tion has employed. "I think it's a real ac- complishment that we're an invisible operation, in a way. There's not a whole lot of flash," he said. 'They're (the volunteers) keeping the faith in their own small way, but in a very big way." : a ] % 0999900008008 0988080880DDDEDEELLLLDHLHH.

They require an acid soil, but that is not too difficult to provide, says y Burke McNeill, Ontario Ministry of } Agriculture and Food nursery and ornamental specialist. 'With this one requirement satisfied, rhododendrons are easy b to grow and provide a beautiful show each year in late May and 4 early June." - Many books about these! 'plants suggest mixing peat moss and soil (50-50) to provide the pro- per medium. .Rhododendrons prefer an acid soil, that is, a pH- below the 6.0 level. As most peat is acid, pH anywhere from 4.5 to $ - 6.0 (depending on the source), mixed 50-50) with soil will adjust ¢ the pH to the proper level for.op- $ timum growth. But McNeill says $ rhododendrons will also grow well ¢ in a raised bed of straight peat $ moss. He says mixing topsoil with $ the peat is not necessary. The other requirements for POY successful rhododendron and azalea production are shade and shelter. Rhododendrons grow naturally under trees and so prefer the shade of trees or a loca- tion on the north or east side of a building. McNeill says they will also grow and flower in full sun, but do much better where shade can be provided. Once the plants are established they require little attention, he says. An annual ap- plication of fertilizer jn the spring -{ and regular watering during hot, § dry periods are all that is required. Removing dead flower heads, en- | courages flower bud formation fgg § next year. b If plants are exposed to wind, 3 some winter protection should be ; provided. Spruce boughs, for ex- ample, are excellent for this pur- pose, McNeill says. Rhododendrons and azaleas are expensive to buy, but alittle care in preparing the soil and pro- viding the right location, will soon compensate the gardener with a magnificent show of - bloom, McNeill says.

With more and more people requiring the ser- vices of Community Care," Co-ordinator Elizabeth Fulford is aware of the consistent need for more volunteers. Nearly 150 - people of all ages and -backgrounds donate their time and effort to helping others but more are always needed. "We don't need money. What we need most, . what we can always use, is more volunteers," Mrs. Fulford said.
