chestra members and other professional musicians while outside the city instruments from as far afield as England swamp the repair department We get most of the profes sionals from Montreal and many repair orders from out side the province and the coun try Mr Fogl said We made our own violins here in the 19508 and 19605 but the repair business just grew and grew and now we wont make any violins because we dont have the time to put in the love and attention good in strument requires For the interested profes sional the store keeps num ber of treasured instruments including cello made by the Italian master Testore in 1757 and valued at about 320000 There is also collection of antique bows worth more than 510000 Mr Fogl and Mr Fuchs took over the store from their fatherinlaw Anton Wilfer

of skilled contractors and laborers will also be pro tected from bad image as the result of the in competence and negligence on the part of few builders in this industry This legislation besides

carefree Geranium is really good one Nemesia makes beautiful bedding plant Pan sies are good if you can keep the seed heads picked off Dwarf Zinnias make nice borderplant Mr Coles prefers the plastic plant paks as there is less root damage when trans planting When you take the plant out of the container squeeze the root on both sides to help stimulate growth Petunias should be spaced 15 to 18 inches apart All plants should be firmed in well Cascade Petunias and Browalia are two good things for hanging baskets always use fresh soil and not last years in hanging baskets LOOK EST gnu Annuals
