Dr. Best is Elected President and J. H. H. Jury, Secretary ) ~~ {By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Jan, 16.--The an- nual meeting of the Horticultural Society was held in the Council Chambers on Tuesday evening, Jan, 156. It was one of the best annual meetings for many years and one of the promising features was the large attendance of ladies, The secretary, J. H, H, Jury, read a most encouraging report, At the end of 1927, the officers had to report disappointment at the small amount of interest displayed by citizens in the activities of the Society but the results for 1928 are much more encouraging. Mem- bership has increased over 45 per cent and there is a small surplus in cash with which some civic im- provement can be undertaken. Beautify Town Mr. Jury suggested that one way in which interest in the Soclety could be ereated would be the selec- tion of some prominent but un- | gightly spot and beautify it with shrubs or perennials. Reference was made to the great loss the society has sustained in the death of.A, Tait, who for 36 years, by his enthusiastic support and active co-operation, had been one of the most helpful members, The Society was urged to can- vass for membership among friends and neighbors in an effort to make 1929 the biggest and best year of the Society, Membership for the past year was 99 and it is hoped to double it, Ask Help of All Mr, Jury expressed his apprecia- tion of those who willingly and un- selfishly gave of their time and thought to the activities of the So- ciety, He also pointed out that if the Society is to render 'a real ser- vice to the community and do the work the government expects of it, more members will have to become interested actively in the work, not leaving it to a few. The govern- ment grant is given in accordance with the service rendered in the way of public meetings, flower shows, town improvements, ete, Too often if a public meeting is called, or a lecture given, some feel they perform their full duty if they come, others forget to come them- selves and neglect to tell their friends, Some members have as- sisted by not taking any bulbs or plants as premiums, while others did not take their prize money, and in this way there is a nice little surplus in the treasury for town beautification. It was suggested in the election of officers that care be exercised to select those who are interested in such things, also that at least six or eight ladies be on the Board. A motion was passed that the So- ciety hold another Community Day celebration along similar lines as those of last year, There will be another meeting held about the middle of February for which a very interesting pro- gram is being prepared. The finances of the Society were reported in an excellent condition and $75 was voted to be used for civie improvement work, The secretary was instructed to write a letter of appreciation tov Mr. J. A. McClellan for his splen- did work in connection with the society and expressing the hope that he would soon be back with them again, A letter of sympathy was also sent to Mrs. A. Tait. Officers : Following are the officers for the ensuing year: Hon, President, W. B. Couch; President, Rev, Dr. Best; 1st Vice- President, Alan Campbell; 2nd Vice-President, Miss Helen Carru- thers; secretary, J. H. H, Jury; Treasurer, J.
