JO'S JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times The official word is out at last that many organiza tions have been waiting for. City Council has allotted the land and approved the landscape architect's plans for Oshawa's Centennial Garden, The site is about 14 acres bounded by Rossland road, Ritson road and Hillcroft streets, formerly known as Hills and Dales and the archi- tect has taken advantage of the rolling terrain by plotting winding walks to be canopied by trees. f Two walks will lead directly into Hillsdale Manor. Wherever the walks converge will be seats and flower ' beds and beauty spots. This is not to be a play park or sports area, although there may be provision for some : tobogganing in the winter, but essentially a passive park, a quiet place in which to read or meditate and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, This is where Oshawa clubs and groups, largé and small, can have a share and feel that they are contributing ' to Oshawa's célebrations of Canada's 100th anniversary. ' The Oshawa Parks Commission is prepared to do aii ine ' planting and maintenance but flowers, shrubs and trees t will be required by spring to start a perpetual garden. Master Plan On View The master plan is now at the city hall and repre- sentatives of clubs who would like to choose the area or bed they wish to have planted should make an appoint- ment to consult Parks Commissioner P. J. Kennedy at + 725-1153, local 251 or 256. ' Mr. Kennedy will be able to show delegates the map, * give the square footage of planting areas and a close estimate of the cost, This is a wonderful opportunity for clubs to identify themselves and give hours of pleasure | to others at the same time. ; One sorority whose international emblem is a rose, which is also Oshawa's civic emblem, has intimated that it would like to provide a rose garden. An old English garden of pansies and verbena, maybe there is even a '*Canadianized lavender, would be perfect for the old Coun- + try Club: Too late for planting bulbs now, but, next year, ' if every Hollander in town gave a tulip bulb, through ' the Dutch Club, what a magnificent display we could have in the spring. How about a "field" of fleurs de lis from the Club Canadien Francais ? Once the imagination is given rein, the ideas come swiftly. Flowering shrubs and evergreens would be within the budget of many groups and what about memorial trees? Mr. Kennedy has a list of trees, their sizes and prices, and what nicer memorial could a family make to pioneer ancestors? Emblems For All To See We have all admired the carpet bedding work of the Parks Commission's gardeners in public places this sum- mer and I can visualize what such a 'green thumb" brigade could do with Masonic, Eastern Star and IODE emblems. What a challenge ... given the opportunity. If you're not enthusiastic about flower beds, think of all the other things that make a garden pleasant -- benches, seats, bird baths, litter baskets, urns and maybe a@ sundial and a fountain. What does a fountain cost? From $5,000 to $50,000, says Mr. Kennedy. That doesn't scare me because one woman to whom I unfolded the plan, corel or _-- 2S ------ idea. It's something that é wa ave to enjoy and if every Uni * Chureh Woman gave one dollar, I'm sure there gH ens enough money to put in a fountain", Well, we could always start with a small one. First things must come first as ever and it looks as though the taxpayers will have to foot the bill for the waterlines and the walks, but we're all good sports when ' it comes to something we can really appreciate, so I » don't anticipate any stormy sessions over the tiny addition, if it comes to that, on the taxbill.

Mr. Weisman told members of the Lyceum Club and Women's Art Association that "\neither the process nor the com- position of making the glass had changed little since med- ieval times. The origins of stained glass were obscure, he said, It had been used for 'decoration by the Egyptians but as window material its use was recent in terms of civiliz- ation, At first color, produced by mineral molecule reflection in the body of the glass, was con- sidered an impediment and Gumus sucrs + croauce = perfectly clear glass. Stained glass was a northern European craft that became an art from in the early middle ages. It developed along two avenues; natural colored glass and painted glass. The slides he showed were examples of the intricate learing and observ- ance of geometric pattern. » | Favorite compositions in- » |cluded the Tree of Jesse (the ea jearthly ancestors of Jesus Christ) with figures reposing within the branches, and med- allions or squares containing religious motifs.

Perhaps the senior Boy Scouts could do a com- munity good turn next summer by organizing themselves on a roster system, as vigilantes. That's next year. Right now Mr. Kennedy is ready to make appointments, so that he can block out his map and order the requirements in your name.
