Oshawa has a great army of garden lovers and _ horticultur- ists and the Oshawa Horti- cultural Society is one of the most active organizations in the city. The main purpose of a horticultural society is to en- courage home and civic beauti- fication and the local society has established many beauty spots throughout the city. A number of islands on the city streets have been made more attractive by planting flowers. Each spring a planting of annuals has been made at the front entrance of the Children's Shelter. The Glenholme School and. the Glenholme Training Centre have been made more colorful because of the interest of the Horticultural Society. Hillsdale Manor has a founda- tion planting of choice ever- greens at the front entrance which is made more colorful during the growing season with annuals and geraniums because of the beautification program of the Horticultural Society. Centennial year means a spe- cial effort for added beautifica- tion by the society throughout the city and a great contribu- tion to the Centennial Garden at Hills and Dales. JUNIOR GARDENERS Horticulturists know that an appreciation of flowers and growing things can be intro- duced at an early age and the society formed a Junior Garden Club in 1957 under Mrs. O. C. Weeks and Mrs. arle Sand- ford, Each held classes for boys and girls aged eight to 16 years, in their homes and the mem- bership grew so quickly that they soon had to move to the Children's Arena and are in- debted for the use of the banquet room ever since. Mrs. Weeks continued as chairman until 1959 and Mrs. Sandford continued in that capa- city until 1965. The present chairman is Robert Richards. The Westmount Kiwanis Club has supported the Junior Garden Club from its beginning and the club is affiliated with the Oshawa_ Horticultural Society for financial support. The club holds three shows during the year; learns simple facts of gardening and all phases of floral decoration and flower arranging which mem- bers do extremely well. Two trophies are awarded for garden competitions and there are competitions for making posters, bird houses, bottle gardens and mosaic pictures. made from cereals and segtis. The Oshawa junior garddners have won prizes in competitions held by the cultural Association. They made Easter novelties for the children in hospital and special favors for the head table guests at the annual banquet. In the fall, they planted two hundred bulbs in T_T Has Your Food Dollar Lost It's S-t-r-e-t-c-h-? Phone and Stretch Your Dollar CHAMBERS FOOD LTD. 933 Ritson Rd.

He said proposals made by the nursing profession for the future of nursing education and service are "based upon theory, rather than a realistic apprai- sal of needs and educational fa- cilities." He disagreed with a proposal that nursing should eventually be taught only in educational institutions, and not in hospitals which at present produce more than 96 per cent of Ontario nursing graduates. He also disagreed with a re- cent brief from the University of Toronto nursing school to the Ontario Committee on Healing Arts predicting the eventual end of courses for registered nurs- ing assistants.
