Henshaw Speaker At Father & Son Banquet Wash 25: Dry 10c Pew/Ag Drive in - Free Parking PArkview 7-426! TU. 4-1687 Mr. Drummond Fraser thanked him warmly for the inspiration he had brought to the boys and men. He spoke as a father with two of his own sons and thirty foster-sons in the Pack. Mr. Henshaw stressed the value of Scouting, and placed strong emphasis on real mastery of the studies rather than the mere ac- quiring of badges. Any boy who really masters the steps from tenderfoot to Queen’s Scout has acquired an alertneg and skill that will stand him in good stead in any situation life may present. He spoke of man‘s increasing mastery of the physical and matâ€" erial world. and his relative fail- ure to master the human rela- tionships in community, national and international brotherhood of scouting as a fit preparation for our part in making this a better world to live in. Mr. Henshaw will long be remembered by every father and son. Mr. Ralph Kerslake, Chairman of the Group Committee presided. He outlined the progress of the year’s work. Mr. Ross Scrimger introduced the speaker. Mr. Dick- son Miller thanked the ladies for the excellent dinner. Mrs. Ralph Kerslake is president of the Mo- thers’ Auxiliary, and Mrs. Ken Loftus convened the dinner com- mittee. One hundred and fiftyâ€" five men and bqys participated. Mr. Don Henshaw of MacLar- en Advertising Agency was the guest speaker. Mr. Henshaw is a director of the Toronto Mental Health Clinic and the Canadian Child Health Association. He is viceâ€"president of the Boy Scout Association of Greater Toronto: active on various other public welfare agencies â€" a forceful and informed speaker. He gave a stirring talk on scouting, recall- ing his first association with the movement as a boy in his home town of Miami, only four years after scouting came to America. The boys thrilled to the tale of the first hike which took the group by boat to an isolated Flor- ida Key for a week's camp. After the boat had left and they were on their own they discovered a decayed wild-cat in their well â€" the only source of fresh water on the island. Scout resourcefulness soon discovered a substitute in a grove of cocoanut palms. Agile climbers kept them in good sup- ply of cocoanut milk for the dur- ation. Rev. Charles G. Higginson con- gratulated the first two boys to become First Class Scouts â€" Ian Hunt and Bill Fahey. He present- ed their badges. ~ Robert Stevens is Scoutmaster of the Troop. Pack A is led and trained by Drummond Fraser. Ted Duffy, Shirley Gurney and Ross Wood. Pack B by Robert Cubitt Ken Dawe and David Bruce. These men are to be con- gratulated on the showing of the boys. The evening’s proceedings closed with a snappy demonstra- tion by the leaders and boys of Pack A. ‘ How To Care For House Plants Since plants are living brea- thing things their aliveness can tie in all the colors used in a room and can do much to en- hance the lovely interiors of to- day The outline given below is a general one with general rules and gives excellent results (1) Soil â€" 50;] is mo)"; am. 7 parts good loam plug 2 parts manure of compost plus 2 pal‘ls sharp sand plus 2 parts peat moss. or leaf mold~plu; 1 (-up commercial fertilizer 5406. Mix' thoroughly and you have a good soil to start with. (2) Watering -- No exact set rule. Water when dry depending on house conditions. Soak pot thoroughly until soil at bottom -is wet, leave for 2 or 3 days and soak again. , (3) Dgainage â€" The hole in the bottom of the pot is a must. It should be covered with lots of broken potlery and pehbhs and when the plant is soaked me pot should always be 591 up on a stone or bar - never directly on a saucer 01' plate. <4» Feeding â€" Aflm' winter months it is advisable to feed Mb Feeding â€" After winter months it is advisable to feed with a. commercial food but used only according to mfg. directions. If too much is used the tender roots might burn and damage the plant. During a heavy flowering period or new growth they can stand feeding otherwise a good soil is sufficient. (5) Temp and Humidity â€" A barometer is a must. 40° hum- idity ideal and this can be reg- ulated by humidifiers or a kettle boiled 3 or 4 minutes in a room or pans.of water being on the rads. Also 70 - 72° is considered excellent for healthy plants and even cooler if possible. Disease â€" Since most plants at sometime develop pests and in- sects the use of malathion or a castile soap and water solution with 40% nicotine sulphate add- ed will give excellent results by wrapping a plastic bag around the pot and swishing‘ the plant thru the solution in a large tub or pan.

Dr. Lapp also described the long- range program of NASA, Dr. Phillip Lapp Tells Lions Of Space Plans In a small town such as the one in which I reside, any excuse for a party is always welcome. Babies and brides-to-be are well showered and visitors royally en- tertained. However, especially right after the holiday season when party giving has been in high gear for weeks, there comes a lull. It is at this ’q‘me a hostess will seize with glee al- most any good reason for trying out a new recipe or showing off her gift coffee table. I didn’t realize: when I mentioned that it had been just a year since I hung up my editorial cap and dreamed up the Diary of a Vagabond, that I would be an excuse for a celebration. During the course of the conversation at a previous party that set ofic a minor display of gastronomic de- !ights, I happened to mention that the one thing I really missed was my old swivel chair. My stenographer’s bulge had become considerably flattened, Ircomplained, by being parked on the hard seat of an ordinary straight backed chair, as I typed the weekly entry in this diary. I love surprises and when I was blindfolded during the course of an evening affair, I had a premonition something very unexpected was about to happen. It did. I was seated on a plastic cushion that felt like a greatly enlarged mixmaster and propelled from one end of my hostess’s living room to the other. Amid shouts of “Now you’ll really have to produce,” the blindfold was removed and I found a huge card hung over the back of a brand new swivel chair. “To the Vagabond, may she travel far. From her envious homeâ€"bound friends.” , Have you ever noticed, there’s one at every party. You know, the type of person who wears her diplomacy near the zero mark most of the time. In the midst of the hilarity as my new, coral plastic, foam rubber and chrome chariot was being pushed about on its brand new ballbearing casters a squeaky little voice piped up, “I can’t see why we don’t give Canada’s railroad to the Indians. What good is it. I never use it.” She knew my travels had been largely by rail and that I waxed enthus- iastic most of the time about the service and the ground I cover in each year in search of the material for this column. She was smart enough to know she would pro- bably cause a flurry by her remark, but obviously she was not ready for the information I fired at her. “Ah, but you do use the railroad, every hour of every day. of every week in every year,” I replied. Starting with her shoeS, I asked her where she thought the dyes and chemicals came from that cured the hide of the calf that had produced the leather. This I said, went for her stockings, lingerie, dress, hat, bag and coat. How did she think the steel in the car she drove arrived at the manufacturer’s factory. or the groceries she consumed could finally be served at her table. Somewhere along the line, the railroad had been responsible for the safe'shipping and arrival of goods that contribute to most of our creature comforts, either in their raw state or the completed form. If it weren’t for the railroad. I contended. our standard of living could be greatly curtailed. I also maintained that costs would soar if the only mode of shipment was limited to vehicular or air transportation. This set off a clatter of conversation that sounded like a travelogue. The generous little lady who would present the Indians with the ONE, after offering me a lift home, ended up by carrying the chair to her car. As we rolled along on rubber (or could be nylon) that had probably coasted in its raw state many a mile on steel, she asked about the comforts of rail travel, its cost and relative advantages. I know one thing, she’ll never slip her toes into these blue shoes that could poke the eyes out of a snake without remembering their pigment undoubtedly was transported across our land by rail from a ship that docked in Vancouver after a voyage from India where. I am told, indiga dye is per- fected. BY DOROTHY BARKER the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, which is co-ordinating all satellite and space vehicle projects in the Un- ited States. The program calls for the launching of several hundreds of space vehicles over the next five years and includes such pro- jects as putting a man into or- bit around the earth, launching orbital telescopes, making land- ings on the moon and by 1970 making manned landings on Mars and Venus. Dr. Lapp was one of the foun- ders and the first president of the Canadian Astronautical Society which has its headquarters in To- ronto. . Markham Council Gives Approval Markham Township Council ap- proved a revised requisition pres- ented by the Richmond Hill School Board for $275,000 for the new Pleasantville School at its Monday night session. This ap- proval concerns a small section in the front of the township in which Markham Township is in- volved for a very small portion. Council also passed a resolu- tion approving York County Council issuing debentures [or the new district high school at Bay- view and Markham. In reporting the increase in pay in last week's edition, it was erroneously reported Reeve Wil- liam Clark’s yearly salary was doubled. It should have been re- ported that the reeve received an increase of $500 per year, raising his salary from $2,500 to $3.000 per annum. Council members will now be paid $18 per diem. they received $10 a meeting last year. Considering our expert knowledge and professional work our rates are still rea- sonable.
