1 Richmond Hill's Spring Fair To Be Sat, May 2|, Mr. Bill Baker thanked the speaker and then doubted wheth- er he felt thanks at being so aw- akened to the grim possibilities iwhich could overtake us, which About 60 people were present at Charles Howitt School on Mon- day, January 25, to hear Mr. Westwood, Chief of Intelligence for Metro Civil Defense, give a talk and show a film on Civil De- tense. Mrs. A. Pollock president of the Home and School brought the meeting to order and Mrs. D. Wood played ‘[O Canada". After the minutes of the last meeting were read by Mr. Tustain in the absence of Mrs. G. Everall-New- man. Mrs. Pollock then introduc- ed the chairman of the scholar- ship committee Mrs. J. Shaw. He told us of the assumed tar- get areas and just how far away from these areas one must go to be safe from radiation. All based on the weather wind direction and if the bombs are exploded in the air, ground or on water. He then showed’ a film taken in Portland, Oregon, to show how prepared that city is in case of a national disaster such as war. It made everyone realize how lit- tle we are prepared to cope with the same emergency here. It was a gratifying turn-out on such a stormy night and with so many other activities going on the same evening. After thoroughly disturbing everyone he answered fully all questions put to him by the aud- ience. Mr. Westwood brought to mind that there have been only 12 years of actual peace in 2,000 years and that there have been 20 wars since the Battle of Waterloo. He felt that there certainly would be another war, and to he prepar- ed for it was as sensible as tak- ing out insurance on your car. You don’t expect an accident, but you are covered just in case. It was given with such clarity that all phases of plant care seem- ed simplified. He demonstrated with a lovely, red, broad-leaved tropical plant. called the “Cot- on" or great laurel â€" we learned its history dated back to the Greeks and Roman Emperors and these leaves were used to dec- orate the arenas and ampitheatres with great garlands of colour. This same species has survived the many generations and now en- hances the lovely interiors of to- day. Mr. Budd's demonstration plant was given to the society to be drawn for, and was won by Mr. W. J. Ankenman. Mr. Budd also made the meet- ing aware that plants are living, breathing things and with care; can do much to improve and tie in the rugs, draperies and furni- ture in a room. Living material, is offered us by Nature in var- iety without end. The proposed plan was read out to the members and will be voted on at the next meeting in February. The plan being that one academic scholarship trophy be purchased with replicas for the student. The trophy will be kept at the school. The next ten top academic students would re- ceive a scroll or medal with their names inscribed, An Honour Board would be set up at the school with the names of the students receiving awards suit- ably engraved on it. Mrs. E. Spears was then asked to introduce the guest speaker, Mr. Westwood. Mrs. Pollock then introduced Mrs. Kojola, President of York- Simcoe Home and School Assoc- latlon. He was introduced by Mr. G. Longworth, president & delighted the audience with his address on "How to care for house plants". Last Thursday evening the Richmond Hill Horticultural Soc- iety was pleased to have as guest speaker, Mr. John Budd. Director of District 15 (of which Richmond Hill is part) and associated with the Corporation of Toronto Parks Department. Through the years the Society has been particularly fortunate in being favored with good wea- ther, but last year was an excep- tion and the day’s program had to be cancelled. However, it takes more than one bad day to discour- the enthusiastic members of the Richmond Hill Agricultural Soc- iety and plans are going ahead for a bigger and better Fair on May let.
