Last week she took a few nutria to Kinghorn School and told the pupils about this jfast-growing branch of Canada’s fur industry.

Most plants thrive at a day temperature of 65 de- grees fahrenheit and a night tem- perature of 53 degrees F. to 60 degrees F. Since house tempera- tures are often too high. it is best to grow the plants in the cooler parts of the room. usually near a window. Drafts should be avoid- ed. Blinds or drapes,- when drawn, should come between the plants and the window. and thus prevent the plants from being in a cold air space. There are a number of factors to keep in mind in caring for house plants as winter approach- es. advises the Department of Horticulture, Ontario Agricultural College. During very cold weather, it may be wise to place a piece of corrugated cardboard between the plants and the window. Plants may be injured beyond recovery by cold. but slightly injured plants, if placed in a cool cellar and sprlnked with cool water, can often be thawed out with little or no damage, cut back to a good bud, and grown afresh. Chill Could Kill YourHousePIants Detailed information on the growing of plants in the home is contained in Ontario Department of Agriculture Bulletin 507, “House Plants and Gift Plants”, which may be obtained by resi- dents of Ontario from the Infor- mation Branch, Ontario \Depart- ment of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, or from the office 0: the county Agricultural Representative. WKS he progressed, Mr. Knox got other young men started in the business; Vic Qstra_n_der foerqe. After operating his own Opti- cal Company at 288 Yonge Street in Toronto for 20 years, Mr. Knox has finally come to Richmond Hill. With the equipment he has here and his vast knowledge, there is virtually nothing he can- not do in the field, and as evi- dence of this knowledge, when interviewed. he told this reporter just what eye trouble I had and how strong my glasses were, with- out even making an examination! Says Mr. Knox: “I want to pro- vide a complete service to people with eye and‘ sight problems. but honestly. I hope my business here doesn’t get as large as the one I had in the city. I just couldn't handle It." Most of the equipment you have seen in optometrist's offices has been developed since Mr. Knox began in business. and so with the aid of his own special devices. he can standardize this equipment until it is perfect; a thing very few other Opticians can do. He is also familiar with the production of lens glass, the grinding of lenses and with eye diseases. To his knowledge. he is one of the three men who have been practicing the science of op- tometry in Canada longer than anyone else. Birds are continually helping the farmer in his war against in- sect pests, and although birds are generally associated with the growing season. a number of spe- cies may be persuaded to stay around homes all winter, by the use of Well-placed feeding shel- ters and regular feeding. Mr. Knox has been in the op- tometry business all his life. His father opened a business as a jew- eller in Toronto on July 1, 1876, and young Bill began to learn about glass and spectacles as they called them then. from his father. He helped the men who got the original Optical Act passed in 1913 and has several times serv- ed on the legislative board for revisions in the act. Protect Our Birds During The Winter The feeding shelter should be placed in a position where it can easily be seen from a window. It may even be built as an extension from the window sill with a short, upright portion to act as a wind- break. Grain or bread crumbs may be sprinkled on the horizont- al part and a suet ball fastened to the upright wall for feed: A feeding shelter may be so constructed as to revolve with the wind, so that the open front will always face away from the wind. It should have lumps of suet fast- ened to the walls. seed scattered on thé $1601: and ii shallow pan of water which must be kept free from ice by frequent changing.__ Detailed information, with drawings and charts, on befriend- ing the birds may be obtained from the Information Branch of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture.

CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY Richmond Hill Unit FACT FOR THE WEEK: The fox bounty was increased from three to five dollars as a temporary measure during the 2p- idemic. Because rabies is spread through the saliva of an infected animal, the tails of foxes must be presented by. the hunter claim- ing a fox bounty rather than the ears. ' ' ‘ ' The committee met with repre- sentatives of neighbouring coun- ties to discuss this problem. Sim- coe and Peel counties have raised their fox bounty to five dollars. Because of the loss of livestock in the county from rabies, the ag- riculture committee requested the Health of Animals division of the federal department of agriculture to hold free vaccination clinics throughout the county. The current rabies epidemic was discussed at length when the agriculture committee reported to York County council last week. Several resolutions were approv- ed. - Information on York County’s actions related to the rabies epi- demic has been forwarded to townships in Metropolitan Toron- to which have large acreages of open and uncultivated lands; These include Scarboro, North York and Etobicoke. At clinics in Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Mount Albert, Queens- ville and Newmarket. more 'than 30,000 animals received anti-rab- ies vaccination. There were 10 other clinics held in York counâ€" ty, the committee reported, but attendance figures were not avail- able for them. Free Serum The county endorsed Chairman Richardson‘s (deputy reeve of Whitchurch) resolution calling for the provision of free anti-rabies serum for the innoculation of both humans and animals. The resolution called for the compen~ sation of,farmers for the loss of livestock due to rabies.

A blow was struck to the pride of 'all good Scots by York County council in session at Newmarket this week. The Scotch thistle was described as an undesirable occupant of farm lands. On the recommendation of the Agriculture committee, county council has requested that the Scotch thistle be designated a noxious weed under the Weed Control act of Ontario. It’s re- quest will be forwarded to A. H. Martin. director of the Crops branch, Queen Park.

Mrs. G. Yates moved a vote of thanks to Miss Ketola and she summed up the feelings of all the members present when she said in closing, “Surely there must be a special place reserved in Heav- en for people like you.” I do not think that we could find words more appropriate to apply to those whose lives are dedicated to this wonderful work.

There is also a great deal of election propaganda spread around our Village contrary to the true facts so be not misled as some people thrive on criticizing our hush- hush policy in Council. We would like to assure you that at no time is there any hush-hush, for you very well know the tonic of our conversation in the Vil- lage has been sewers and annexation. You also know my policy is the same now as six years ago and I give you the credit for your support in attaining for me six acclamations. You also support- ed'me four years ago with your vote for sewers and I appeal to you to complete our gift by returning my supporters in Council on Monday next by voting for Bryant, Hollingshead and Longhouse as Councillors. Failing to do this, I, along with those three Councillors, might as well crawl into a moth ball and wait for another Santa Claus. WOODBRIDGE To The Electors of RE-ELECT John W. Bradsiock COUNCILLOR I believe that Richmond Hill should acquire by purchase or option sufficient in- dustrial land to be able to proride space at a known cost to industry. I believe that further residential devel- opment must not be allowed until our assess- ment is more balanced. I believe that any future residential de- velopment must be accompanied by indus- trial or commercial assessment to keep at least 40% of the assessment in the latter categories. I believe that to provide better service to the people of the town the present works department should be reconstituted under the leadership of the Works Commissioner and, that the present council committees of water and sewers. roads and ditches, parks and buildings be merged into a single Works Richmond Hill must have increased in- dustrial assessment to balance residential liabilities if the tax rate is to be kept down. Our Industrial Commissioner is hampered by the high cost of land. by the lack of serviced land and by the variable cost of land. I pledge to continue to press for the opening of our industrial roads and completion of services with the object of having all areas open by summer of 1959. committee. FOR PROGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT F.
