Mr. and Mrs. McQueen, Briggs Ave., celebrated their 12th Wed- ding Anniversary on June 14, our begruest congratulations. by Elizabeth Kelson As I contemplate my flower gardens at this time of year, I am subjected to a great variety of reactions. Every morning I visit the garden, hopefully expecting to see that the seeds which I planted earlier, are begin- ning to send their green shoots heavenward. I stand before the new arrivals silently, almost prayerfully, as if my very presence should help the magical process of growing. I have found that transplanting flowers from seed affords more thrill and suspense than transplant- ing shoots that are already half-grown. As the seeds come up, my heart sinks to see so many empty spaces between the plants. What happened? Was there any life in the seed or did I forget to plant it? A person does wonder! The plants that survive are really something to watch. Day by day they persevere. If the nights are cold, I worry about the frost nipping the soft green leaves. I needn’t have worried for all turned out well Evith the nurslings getting larger and healthier every ay. Then one day the sun becomes too hot. The earth around the base of the plants is dried and caked from lack of moisture. The plants languish for a time and so do=I. Next the storm comes. The wind and rain buf- fet the plants about unmercifully. I watch their poor twisting heads from the window. After the ordeal is over, I am amazed and delighted to know that the plants have withstood the elements once again, and somehow due to the dark deep processes of Nature, the plants resume their former state of health. Another day, I notice that all is not well with my charges. The leaves are being bitten and chewed and some almost beyond recognition. This makes me very sad and dis- couraged. Some of the plants perish under such treat- ment but the remainder keep on as if spurred on by an indomitable Will. There must be survival. Thornlea Ball team met Wood- lands team twice on Wednesday, June 22nd with Woodlands win- ning the first game 6-5 and Thornlea winning the second 98. Mr. Kinzinger tells us there is to be one more game to decide the Champions. We are of course rootingifor Thornlea. Good luck. On Tuesday, June Zist all Grade 8. Pupils went on a trip to Midland and Beausoleil Island. Accompanied by Mr. Kinzinger and Mrs. Wardenier they boarded the bus at school at 8.45 and went to Midland where they crossed by boat to the Island, to have lunch after exploring the Island and its many attractions they returned to Spring-Water Park. Midland for supper. and aouvenier buying. The bus load of tired but happy children arrived back to school at 9 p.111. and they must have felt great admiration for two wonderful teachers for giving them this enjoyable day. Through all this alternate agonizing and rejoicing I feel kinship with the plants. There is always a battle with the weeds that threaten to stop the plant from reaching its final goal, that of bursting into glorious blos- som. It is only through my determined efforts that the weeds are prevented from accomplishing their mission 30nd the flower is allowed to bloom for its allotted time. How like us the flowering plants are, I think to myself. We, too, struggle constantly to survive against the neg- ative forces within and without. sometimes winning, sorfigtimes losing but never giving up as long as there 1‘ e.

(M.D.G., Thornhill) Along about this time of year one hears a joyful shout - “The end of June has come at last! Today our school get out! The holidays are here again, there’s time to read and play. And swim, and hike, and run, and race. Oh boy! This is the day!” Along about this time of year Mom wears a worried frown, The thing the kids are thrilled about â€" they plain get poor Mom down.

And so, about this time of year, no matter how they try, The children and poor dear old Mom just don’t see eye to eye!
