Following a most impressive address by Principal Sidney H.

They must anti- cipate and serve the needs of their customers; know just how many blooms they can sell ~â€" since flowers are a perishable commodity that cannot be fastâ€" frozen, canned or dehydrated for future sale â€" and keep going year in, year out, “with a credit list a mile long". Ninetyâ€"five per cent of the retail florist business loperabes on “credit” since al- most that percentage of orders come to them via the telephone. Supply Demand Once a florist, always a florist, this was the concensus of opinion among the large group of retail florists who at- tended the preview of Christm‘as‘rfi‘ses at the H. J. Mills greenhouse last week; most of whom have been in the florist business all their lives. Others, who had “married into the flower business” were just as well pleased and contented with their work â€" and everyone of those pres- ent for the tour and dinner party planned to perfection by their host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. H.. J. Mills, said they couldn’t even imagine going into any other line of business. You see, those who go into the retail flower business must be artistic, like people, and love flowers. It takes the soul of an artist and the heart of a lover to create such beautiful tributes as bridal bouquets, corsages and flower arrangements for any occasion where flowers may speak the message of love. Retail Florist-s Visit H. J. Mills Greenhouse Preview Christmas Stock It is the contention of the H. J. Mills greenhouse that they can and will serve their custom- ers to the very best of their abâ€" ility during peak seasons of the year, such as December and June. as well as during the balance of the year. At the dinner held at the Sum- mit View following the tour, Mr. Mills said his greenhouse expects to supply 150.000 roses to the Christmas trade, and in order to do this he has had to sacrifice three crops. For weeks the nurserymen at Mills" greenhouse have been pinching back carly blooms; keep- ing a careful check on tempera- ture and humidity; watching care- fully for blight â€" or red spider, or any “sickness” that could wipe out half a year's profits. But with the experience of nearly 50 years and veteran nursery-men like J. Pollard‘. general manager, and Charles Chapman, who has been with the company 32 years, and many other tried and true employees just as interested as “the boss“ to see that Mills' ros- es keep up their Canada-wide name of “Quality roses". roses in December from Mills' green- house will grace Canadian homes. churches, hospital wards and countless other places this Christmas. Local Florists Mrs. Al Rice, who assists her husband in his Richmond Hill store, Rice's Flowers. has a sug- gestion to offer regarding the "giving" of floral tributes in memory of loved ones. during the cold, freezing winter months when it is not possible to place floral offerings at the graveside. Mrs. Rice suggests that those wishing to honour their departed loved ones might send a gift of flowers to shutâ€"ins or hospital wards instead, which seemed to us In be a very lovely tribute "in memory”. Among ‘fhe guests at the pre- view were the Miller family, who not only have a greenhouse at Maple. but have stores run by various members of the clan throughout Ontario, it is truly a “family affair". Mike Miller and his wife g‘row everything but roses, in their Maple greenhouse â€" and are very happy wth their connection with Mills greenhouse which supplies them with all the roses needed to fill their orders. We enjoyed hearing Mrs. A. Dalipes of Long Branch tell just how she and her husband got in- to the florist business 25 years ago. Mr. Dalipes was in ill health at that time. and his wife dccid~ ed to open a flower shop. Today she has two assistants, and her husband, who says he is in the pink of condition. makes all the deliveries to their wide circle of customers. Roses Are Big Business Retail florists each use 500 to 1,000 roses for their week-end trade alone, in their busiest months. But despite the fact that roses give more for your money â€" since their beauty only grows lovelier from bud to full blown bloom â€" women feel the rose has so much romance and senti- ment about it. they want their menfolk to put in the order for roses â€" not themselvcs. So it's up to the head of the household to put in his order early with his local florist -â€" and we hope his better half will be delighted with her bouquet of Happiness, Better Times or Bar- racada red roses, comes Christ- mas morn.

As- sistant Professor of Astronomy at the University of Toronto and member of the staff of the David Dunlap Observatory. Conventional fuels, the major source of our energy require- ments today, will run out in about 50 years, said Dr. Searle. The world's supply of uranium. the fuel for atomic power. might last another hundred years. After that, what source would supply the growing needs of an increas- ingly mechanized civilization? The speaker was confident that the need would be met by “hydrogenâ€" fusion" energy generators which would use sea water as fuel. Such generators have still to be develâ€" oped. but the principles which may be invoked are now well un- derstood from the study of the sun and the stars.
