During May, everyone will be following, with interest, the course of the “Golden River” from the prov- ince of British Columbia to Newfoundland. The anniv- ersary tulips are already in'bloom in Vancouver, and to celebrate the arrival of the first blossoms, a basket of the yellow beauties was flown from there to the home of Mrs. John Diefenbaker in Ottawa. ‘ “The guides themselves earned the money for the bulbs planted outside guide and brownie meetingâ€"places as a symbol of thanks to everyone who has helped the movement in Canada since its start in St. Catharines.” We have already heard from Vancouver. The first trickle has begun, and in the days to follow, the “Golden Stream” will widen through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Even now, in our own‘Ontario, you can see the green leaves of the tulips emerging from the depths of the black earth. The “RiVer” will flow into Quebec and down through the Maritimes and across to New- foundland. The significance/of all these thousands of swelling tulip buds staggers the imagination. _‘ ' Thornhill residents will be glad to know that there are going to be plenty of Jubilee tulips in their district. They will find them growing in front of these churches: Baptist, Anglican, United and the new Presbyterian church, all of Thornhill. They will also be found in front of the following schools: Langstafl’, Concord, Thornhill, Henderson, Woodland, and Powell Road, and they will also be seen in front of the Thornhill High School. The District Commissioner, Mrs. McTaggart- Cowan, has informed me that the guide companies and brownie packs are making very distinctive signs which will be placed in the tulip beds in front of their own meeting-places. Victoria Watt, Mary Gage, Lucille Tru- delle and Sharon Sturgess, who will soon be full-fledged Gold Cord Guides will have the task of placing the/signs in front of the Anglican church, Thornhill high school, Woodland and Thornhill public schools. The District Commissioner also expressed her thanks, on behalf of the Guiding Movement, to the people of Thornhill and District for their interest and loyal support. Now _. . . let us honor our Guides and Brownies and their wonderful leaders by appreciating this fine tribute to the community and make a special point of visiting the spots where the Jubilee tulips are planted.

Royal Ontario Motown, Tatum). iningé gave the group three basic rules to follow when starting a peren- nial border. lst, prepare the ground; 2nd, cultivate it, and 3rd, fertilize it. The border should not be more than six feet wide for easy weeding. When choosing plants, Mr. Brown stat- ed that it was a good idea to plant them in groups of three or five, well spaced to allow root growth. A cold frame is ex- tremely handy for perennials as they can be started in the fall, carried over winter in the frames and set out in the garden in the spring. Peonies are very popular but they have a short blooming period. although their leaves are of value in the garden as they present an attractive background until frost. Mr. :Brown suggested using a rain- bow as an inspiration for colour design. reminding the audience that when setting out perennials. pockets must be left for annuals to complete the summer bloom- ing period. Spraying is all im- portant.
