PASTURE FIELD SOD This is Canada’s Natur- al Grass and does well in reasonable shaded areas produces a beautiful lawn with very little care, can be mowed as low as half an inch. Spring or Fall. one inch in Summer. Re- quires a balanced fertili- zer (7-7-7). SOD & LOAM ORDERS Phone LET US LAY YOUR NEW LAWN AV. 5 - 5494 Our sod is ready for delivery now. There is no gamble when you lay a lawn with Frank Watts’ Sod. You have your lawn the day you lay it. By laying your own lawn you save about fifty percent of the cost, beside the personal satisfaction that you pro- duce your own lawn. Frank Watts’ Nursery Sod contains only permanent turf grasses. The turf is weed free and contains no clover or coarse grasses such as Timothy, Brome, or Orchard Grass. Requires a fertilizer high in nitrogen. Merion has a very wide blade hence a very dense turf. that is so strong due to the deep root growth that weeds are no longer a lawn problem. Merion blue should not be mown less than one inch at anytime. Does not re- quire Watering as much as other grasses. Phone us for free pamphlet “How To Create A Beautiful Lawn." The following types of sod are used extensively by gardeners and home owners. MERION BLUE SOD Grown at our farms from No. 1 Merion Seed (pro pratenus) this is without a doubt Ontario‘s most beautiful sod, loves sunny areas, not recom- mended for shady property. We obtain this from select farms (not neces- sarily our own). The farmer originally sows his own seed mix for pasture for his cattle during the summer. The better the seed the better the feed. The cattle in turn toughen and fertilize the grass for years and years and for this reason we recom- ment it for toughness. Ideal for playgrounds. back- yards and large areas that are not expected to be show places. This is much cheaper than Kentucky or Merion and does produce a fairly good lawn, in fact. ninety per cent of the lawns in Toronto are from pasture sod. Maintenance is the secret of obtaining a good lawn from pasture field sod. SIXTY YARDS RICH BLACK SANDY LOAM One cu. S'd. will top dress eighty square yards (720 sq. ft.) half an inch in depth.

And while these senior citizens might say they aren‘t feeling quite up to par. their zest- ful curiosity and interest in peo- ple and events makes one suspect they‘re just going through the motions of complaining so as not to tempt fate. We drove down to see the Gages because We wanted to stu- dy a watch which has been in the family for four generations and is supposed to be about 300 years old. It’s an extraordinary time- piece of hand-beaten silver equip- ped with a pinch-key which winds it, shifts the hands and operates the regulator.

Don’t leave the mower unat- tended when the motor is running. Don’t let the mower pull you. To maintain control slow it down. Never run or trot. Don’t cut up and down on hills. If you slip. the machine may slide down over your tees. Cut sideways. Don’t refuel the engine when it is hot - it may burst into flames. Never attempt removal of any object from the mower until you are certain the blades have stopped turning. The blade may still be whir- ling for one or two min- utes. gifts from the five children and ,12 grandchildren: included are 15 ten-dollar gold coins, a 400-day clock. a hand cut glass decanter. a cocktail set, a tea service and a miniature pirate‘s chest which, said the Gages, was filled with .chocolate gold pieces. “At first I thought I was holding the real McCoy,” said Mr. Gage; his eyes glinting. “Gave me quite a turn.” The gifts were present-ed at a thang-up anniversary dinner when 38 persons sat down to food-heap- ed tables at the Summit Restaur- ant.

Anniversary Gifts Mr. Gage, son of an English harbour pilot. was born at Ty- ham. Kent, and Mrs. Gage, the former Emily Skinner, whose fa- ther was a railwayman, comes from the same county, from Can- terbury. They landed in Toronto 50 years ago on June 1 where the groom worked as a cabinet maker for the Heintzman Piano Company until 1914 when. with the out- break of World War 1. he joined the services. “We returned to England,” he said. “But as my military papers went down with a mail carrrier, I never did get to do any fighting, and spent four years at aircraft work.” ' Back in Canada in 1919, the couple settled in Richmond Hill. Here, for $75, they bought the toll gate structure on the Gamble sideroad. moved it to Brookside Road, Elgin Mills, and turned it into a sound house. “The own- ers of the toll gate building had died and $100 was needed to bury them," Mr. Gage recalled. “We had only $75 cash but were able to strike a bargain by throw- ing in a piece of furniture worth $25.” In the intervening years the Gages operated stores in Toronto and district and Mr. Gage also spent several years as a garden- er and, as a builder. helped put up the Loyal True Blue and Or- ange Home. Old Coins JOSEPH GAGE The Gages have four dozen vin- tage coins gathered during their years as storekeepers. Mr. Gage is partial to an 1889 English pen- ny because that was the year of his birth. They also have one of the few remaining Queen Victor- ia sixpences, of the Jubilee issue, an 1837 Lower Canada half-pen- ny and an 1854 Upper Canada Half-penny. Another rarity is an 1891 fourâ€"penny English coin, and still another is an 1820 Irish pen- ny. There are many others. Another object of interest is a lSOâ€"year-old cigar holder. The holder itself is a tiny shoe of red cherry wood complete with tiny brass toe and heel specks affixed to the sole and heel with wee brass nails. Mr. Gage thinks there are go- ing to be political upsets come the next federal election and an- ticipates the campaign with in- terest. He thinks the cost of liv- ing is high. striking unduly hard at low, fixed and medium incom-J "It's not like the old days, you know,” he said. “Why, when we started in Toronto we lived well on six dollars a week." But he is pleased that work conditions and welfare measures have helped a- meliorate much hardship. The old days were tough on the working man, he claimed. "They were six: day weeks And that didn't leave people much time for self-im- provement."

I Like the ordinary householder, York County benefit- ‘ ted from the milder-than-usual winter, members of County Council, in session last Week, learned. The report of the Toronto and York Roads Commission started off with the happy sentence, “Winter maintenance during the past tseason, for the first time in several years, cost less than ‘- anticipated.” ' s Sanding operations. on account to; of light snow and freezing rain. for had to be continued for a longer Mil period than usual. but less sand ten Iwas used. A considerable quanti- Del ty is left in stock piles and less in will have to be purchased for the the 1961-62 season. Iran Mild Winter Cut County Road Costs Will Be Reflected In Permanent Work Local Jobs In Summer Program The period from January to April inclusive produced no ex- tensive storms similar to those experienced in 1959 and 1960. the report said. The'cost of snow plowing reflected these conditions and was considerably less than the amount allowed in the bud- get. More Time - Less Sand Savings effected because of the less severe winter will be re-al- located to increase the amount of surface treating, gravel resurfac- ing and other projects of a per- manent nature that can be done during the summer. Thus funds usually spent on necessary but unproductive service work will, this year. produce permanent im- provements to the county's road system. Fewer Breaks Due to an extremely dry fall in 1960 with the resulting low water table and .in spite of deep penetration by frost during the winter, very few breaks occurred in county roads as a result of the spring thaw. The amount of em- ergency patching normally re- quired was consequently greatly reduced. Maintenance crews were able to carry out work of such a nature that, even though the sea- son is later than usual. condi- tions are approximately the same as â€" or a little ahead of â€" other years. ‘ The Commission‘s report speci- fied the work which would be carried out. this year. The prog- ram has been approved by the Department of Highways and as soon as financing is approved by the Ontario Municipal Board ten- ders will be called.

Grading and paving of the Mount Albert Road from just west of Highway 48 to the Ontario County line. In addition. plans {or the pav- ing of the King road from Noble- ton to the Peel County line and for “channelization” of the Don Mills Road and Aurora Road inâ€" tersection were submitted to the Department of Highways early in March for approval. Work at the latter spot will include a re- vamping of the present somewhat mixed-up intersection. Approval is expected in the near future and tenders will then be called. Bayview Corner Work Plans are being made by the Toronto and York Roads Com- mission for adjustments at the corner of the Markham Road and Bayview. A highway diversion of approximately 1,000 feet will be added to the county's highway system. Part of the original road allowance- will be reverted to the township of Markham. Necessary by-laws ,providing for needed expropriations were‘ passed by County Council, but not until Deputy-reeve E. J. Nor- ris of Georgina Township ques- tioned whether methods adopted by county officials in connection with expropriations were com- mendable. County roads engineer Jack Bettie said that the greatest pos- sible precautions to preserve good public relations were tak- en. Land. of necessity, had to be moved on to as soon as exprop- riation proceedings were started but owners were contacted first and the situation explained to them. He said that unless land was occupied at the right time a delay of a year in necessary road work might be encountered. _ Everything possible was done to effect an amicable settlement with owners of expropriated prop- erty. rather than have a settle- ment effected by a court, said Mr. Rettie.
