violas to set out next spring this would be the time to seed them Pansies are almost everyones flower Our climate is not all that may be desired for this flower but still we are able to grow them reasonable well most years Both pansies and violas belong to the violet genus Violas are smaller than pansies and come in solid colors more than pansies Both are among the prettiest flowers in any garden If you have cold frame the seeds may be sown in it now and left unmolested with mulch of straw on them until spr ing You need wellprepared soil that is rich in humus and friable If you do not have cold frame sow in flats and keep moist and shaded until plants develop Try to get the little seedlings established in bed or special spot in the garden before frost The cover them with mulch of straw for winter protec tion Be sure the land is well drained Pansies like moist cool weather That is no doubt why they thrive so well in England All the pansies knew in my childhood were grown in gardens of English immigrants who got their seed from some relatives back home Keep the flowers picked off and pinch back leggy growth Pansies and violas are perennials in warmer climates but in our parts they are treated as annuals There are several popular varieties of pansies but the Swiss Giants seem to head the list Their flowers are often four inches across Violas are more compact plant and are wonderful for edging boarders or for solid beds in spring Just remember neither pansies or violas like hot weather SOCIETY NEWS The tour to see Bing Crosby Saturday Aug 13 has been changed due to

The Chubbs have set up showroom ill their home on Highway 27 where customers can see display models of the furniture and place orders Orders usually take from two to four weeks to fill Chubb said All of the furniture is made of pine he says and custolncrs can order either shellac or varithane finish Though the choice is up to the customer Chubb says if you have kids around you should have the varithane finish because it wont mark Varithane gives the fumiture highgloss finish which resists water marks and wipes clean with damp cloth he says With either the shellac or varithane finishes customers can have their furniture stained to give darker finish than the natural pine Besides furniture the hubbs also market coat racks candlestick holders highback chairs coffee mug trees and paper towel holders for the kit chen all made of genuine pine But the major sellillg point is price Chubb says he considers his furniture superior in quality to that sold in chain stores and his prices are at least $100 under the average selling price Example hubb says the cannonball bed is the main item he sells The bed comes in single double queen and king sizes with price tags ranging from $270 for the single to $495 for king size For those who want to cut their heating bills this winter the Chubbs sell woodburning stoves that they claim can heat room for 12 to 14 hours without refueling We had

27 Examiner Photo popular with greenhouse operators in the United States last winter ill areas hardhit by fuel shortages The heat output will surpass anything on the market he says Its real energy saver Later this summer the Chubbs plan to exhibit their furniture at fairs and agricultural shows ill the area hubb says he and Ross and Judy Burwcll owners of and Ceramics of Thornton have been working on portable building they plan to use to ex llibit their merchandise Were going to the steam show in ookstown Chubb says and rigllt now were Working on getting illto the Bar rie Fair The Chubbs showroom is open from pm to 6pm dur ing the week and from 10 am to pm weekends Apartment planned for Sanford Street fourstorey walkup which could add 21 apartments to Barries meagre supply of af fordable rental units is planned for Sanford Street but the proposal still faces few ob stacles Bob Birrell hopes to put the building on halfacre lot he owns on the south side of San ford between Brock and John Streets next to similar building which has been on the street for sometime The building would offer 15 twobedroom apartments and six onebedroom units Birrells first problem is an old garbage dump which oe cupied the site at one lllllt In order to build on the site he will have to excavate the trash and haul it to the citys current lan dfill site vent the property to allow gases to escape and have the building checked twice year for combust able gases in the basement He will also have to build culvert for creek crossing the property 26space parking lot will be built on top All this work especially the at work on the old dump which came as surprise will push the project to the edge of economic feasibility and as result Birrell has asked the city to dispense with its usual procedure of rezoning under site plan bylaw Under straight rezoning hich Birrell has requested development levies to pay MM Heres what proposed Sanford Street apartment will look like for services needed by added population the building will draw are only $600 per unit but under site plan the levies shoot up to $1 500 per unit Planning board approved the building this week but did not comment on the levies The issue will go to city council in September One hurdle Birrell appears to have passed successfully is public reaction The only ob jection to the proposal at this weeks public meeting on the issue cut little ice with planning board All lnnisfil Street couple argued that Birrell should not be allowed to enclose the water course because it will help create concrete jungle and interfere with the use of the stream by ducks City planning director Rick Bates told the board the creek is already enclosed down stream for greater distance than proposed by Birrell on his own property If not allowed to cover the creek Birrell would be restric ted to building two semi detached homes four dwelling unitst on his land
