Two other bits of sculpture by Harriett Frischmuth are being shown at the National Flower and Garden Show as complimentary exhibits of the Grand Central Art Galleries â€" one is of the wood nymph style, “Joy of the Waters”. This piece is in the Azalea garden. The other is called, “On the Crest of the Wave" and this piece may be seem in the rectangular formal garden. The rose peristyle is constructed of wrought iron and lighting is ef- fected [by a single neon tube of the newest green colour. Water c0mes out of the case held [by the girl. The statue was selected by Arthur M. Kruse, F.A.S.LTA., prominent Toron~ to landscape architect, together with members of the National Flewer and Garden Show Committee. Every detail of the figure, of the goose, its feathers and the spread of its wings is outstandingly well executed. The statue is equally pleasing from all sides, which is ex- ceptional with a figure of this type. The detail of the face and anatomy is particularly worthy of comment and has won the admirationl and praise of artists. Together with the statue was a bronze plaque suitably engraved, which also becomes the city’s prop- erty. Mayor Day turned the plaque over to Mr. Chas. E. Chambers, com- missioner of parks, who will see that both statue and plaque are placed in whatever public building or park is- to be their permanent home after the expiration of the Flower and Garden Show. Mayor Ralph Day, on behalf of the citizens of Toronto, accepted from the Society of American Flor- ists and Ornamental Horticulturists a beautiful statue, “Goose Girl”, in a rose arbour perister setting. The statue is the work of C. S. Paolo, noted Italian sculptor.

Quotation: “From September 12th, 1937 to January 25th, 1938, a pullet only missed 4 days of laying but, more than made up for those by lay- ing 2 eggs per day on 5 different days, an unusual record”. “Mr. Well- man put 190 Rocks and 92 Leghorn pullets in a battery laying house at 6 months. During November the 190 Rocks shelled out 4202 eggs, average per day 140 eggs. The 92 Leghorns laid 1434 eggs or 45 per day aver- age. From November to February, after culling the Rocks to 180 and the Leghorns to 90, during the 4 months period the Rocks laid 13,439 eggs, average 112 per day. The 90 Leghorns laid 5806 on an average of 48 per day”. This is a record to be proud of and we wish Mr. Well- man every success in the poultry business.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31st, 1938 NOTICE H'EADFORD A. J. HUME, Clerk“ In the last fire, the Senate was not sitting but a handful of men were nearby when the fire broke. They saved this symbol of power and man- aged also to carry the heavy Senate throne to safety, chipping it slightly as they lifted it through narrow door- ways. The blemish is still visible on the right-hand corner of the tall back of the oak throne. In 1854, the Parliament Buildings in Quebec were destroyed by fire and a. few months: later the temporary quarters, Conlvent of St. John’s Sub- urbs, were destroyed by fire. Both times the mace was rescued unharm- ed. Again in the Ottawa Parliament Buildings fire in February, 1916, the mace escaped the flames. BUIRNED BY RIOTERS On the night of April 25, 1849, the Parliament Buildings at Montreal were burn-ed by rioters. Edward Botâ€" terell, messenger and later doorkeep- er of the legislative council and Sen- ate, rescued the mace and placed it in a warehouse for security. It was found there later uninjured. References in the third edition of “Parliamentary Practice and Proce- dure in the Dominion of Canada” by Sir George John Bourinot, say the mace in use in the Senate belonged to the old legislative council in Lower Canaaa rbefore Confederation. Locked in a cabinet the size of a grandfather’s c10ck, the heavily-en- graved emblem of authority stands in ‘the corner of the Senate Speaker’s chambers, getting an airing only when it takes a trip to the Red Cham- ber. The assistant to the gentlemav' usher of the black rod carries it or his shoulder to the chamber and places it on the long table before the Speaker’s chair where it remains for the duration of the day’s sitting. On one side of this jam-jar-shaped urn is an emlbossed‘ crown under which is the symbol of the fleur-de- lis. Another side shows the thistle under a similar crown. A third side has the harp of’Wales embOSS-ed un- der the royal crown and on the fourth side, a medallion picturing the Queâ€" bec citadel stands alone. Time and research have failed to unfold the origin of this mace. The only clue to the time it was made is the inscription “G 111 R” placed 'over the imperial coat-of-arms on: the lid of the round urn under the lifeâ€" size crown of gold at the top of the pole-like stem, indicating that it was completed during the years 1760-1820 in the reign of George III.

He promised the committee and county farmers his fullest support. “We grow mighty fine potatoes in Ontario but because they are not all of one kind or graded we are losing our city market,” declared Reeve James Rennie of Markham Township. “The public is buying po- tatoes shipped in from New Bruns- wick and our farmers are being- left with their potatoes on their hands. It’s not fair and it’s about time the Ontario farmer did something abOut it.” The committee approved the ex- pending in York County during the next few months of $300 to start this project. It is hoped that other municipalities and other counties in the province will fall in line finan- cially and morally. Such action was deemed necessary in view of the fact that the New Brunswick potato was crowding the Ontario variety off the Toronto and district market. POTATO IMPROVEMENTS A gigantic potato Improvement project to raise the Ontario potato above the quality of “spuds” grown in other provinces is planned by York County agricultural commit- tee.

CLEANING AND PRESSING HAVE YOUR SPRING dry clean- CENTRAL UNITED CHURCH Basking sharks have been found in large numbers on the east coast of Vancouver Island. While they seem harmless as far as swimmers are concerned, they are a. terror on the end of 500 yards of 50-pound test line. Many fishermen have tried shark fishing with great success. he spunky trout of the Lau- rentians and the Canadian Rockies, the scrappy bass of Northern Ontario, the huge mas- kinonge at French River have all been put on their mettle by a. fighting fis'h new to Canadian sportsmenâ€"the shark, killer of the deep. Shark Fishing New West Coast Sport Christ and Pessimist.” Owen Equipment is simple and not too expensive and the sport is thâ€"rilling b e y o n d imagination. When the shark first takes the bait. a. salmon from six to eight pounds, the fisherman thinks he has hooked the bottom. Then the fun starts. With mad rus'hes and plunges he churns the water into foam. He has a, nasty habit of turning on the boat and snapping at the line or rolling on if vana severing it with his file-like skin.

One of the outstanding pictures of all time. The finest example of cinematic workmanship yet applied to an: epic western. In. the grandeur of its background, in the vigor and sturdiness of its men, ‘Wells Fargo’ is a western taken seriously by its producers.
