Project is the first to be started by a Canadian company in preparation for Canada’s 100th birthday celebrations in 1967. Turning the symbolic first furrow in the ac- cepted manner of 100 years ago were A. P. Frame (left) president of Cities Service Oil Company, Ltd., Hon. Bryan, L. Cathcart, Minister of Travel and Publicity for Ontario and Will Barrie, 79, of Galt, Ont., who has been a championship plowman since the early years of the century. Designed to provide a living textbook for the amateur gardener, the garden will be un- ique in North America, with more than one million flowers stretching over 61/; acres. It will be completed in time for dedication in Centennial Year 1967.

NOTICE TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL WORKS DEPARTMENT asaanaLG) iKing Village Trusteesfff‘f ’Discuss Maintenance? Acting as chairman at King City Village Trustees' June 24 meeting. Trustee John Mann reported two proposed side- walks on King Street east were a step nearer reality. He read a letter from Toron- to and York Roads Commis- sion, which approved the work according to submitted plans. Trustee Mann pointed out no subsidy approval has yet been authorized f o r sidewalks between Leslie Motors and William Street on the north side of King Street, and between Patton Street and the high school on the south side. Secretary - manager G. '1‘. Thompson reported “A large part of the delay last year was due to getting proper road grades." A letter from Mrs. William Thomson of Toronto, secre- tary-treasurer of Clearview Gardens Limited, requested reimbursement for the instal- lation of over-size mains along Elizabeth Grove. Trustees reviewed that sub- divider Leo Valentine had been paid from the impost fund for installing 10-inch water mains instead of the required six-inch. They could not recall any agreement with Clearview Gar- dens, but decided the same arrangement would be fair. At $50 a lot for 15 lots, they agreed $750 should be paid to the McBride family. Trustees ratified the order- ing of a $275 washing machine for King City Composite School home economics room bythe secretary-manager. Ontario Hydro advised Trust- ees $40.70 would b epaid for six months’ shared use of 37 hydro poles. Rental was rated at $2.20 a pole. Trustees approved spending $158.50 for the double glazing of windows for seven lights and three doors for the village office. Trustee Ronald Bolton was interested in seeing the outside of the building painted and the trim brightened. The secretary was asked to inform local electrical contrac- tors Hydro was offering a ten- week course on electric heat- ing. Trustees considered the pay-‘ ment of $526 for three sun switches and four relays now owned by its hydro-electric system, which they felt should be village property. The defer- red transferring the cost to the village budget until later in the year when they see how the budget is faring. Trustee Ross Farquhar noted a tractor couldn’t get into park- land behind the south school to cut weeds and the ground had never been graded. Trust- ee Bolton recommended cut- ting the weeds three or four times a year. Trustee Farquhar moved that the secretary look into grading and levelling the park property and cutting weeds. Next week gravel and cal- cium would be laid to keep dust down. After making inquiries about a two-year term of office for village trustees, Mr. Thomp- son reported there was 'no legal provision for it under the present set-up, but trustees could obtain an expression of opinion if they wished. _Trustee Farquhar remarked only one person had objected so far. “We were going along with‘ township at their invitation," added Trustee Mann, referring to trustees’ recent resolution for a two-year term effective with the forthcoming Decem- ber election, as a result of the majority of the public voting last year in favor of the two- year term for township. There has been no separate vote re- garding police villages. Waterworks Commission- er Bolton reported water consumption had risen to Trustee Farquhar. reporting for the fire department, noted a resuscitator and plastic splints had been purchased by the wo- man‘s auxiliary. The depart- ment’s first resuscitator has been located the past few years at the docors' offices. Trustee Mann reported $144, subject to subsidy. had been in- vested in patching holes on North Keele Street with eight tons of asphalt mix. After checking into the re- port no title had ever been taken from the owner. Carlton Crossley, for land on which the village water tank stands. Trus- tee Bolton advised letting the matter flrop until trustees were approached by the ownre or were notified rental would be charged. Minutes read by the secret- ary showed a letter had been received from Kingcrafts’ presi- dent, Mrs. Gage Love, thanking trustees for providing traffic assistance for the recent sale. Another letter from York North M.P. John Addison ofâ€" fared assistance in obtaining winter works subsidy if it is needed for the third well. Trustees indicated they might contact Mr. Addison when the project is approved by Ontario Municipal Board. Two ratepayers, other than trustees, secretary, constable and reporters, were present but no deputations were presented. Asked by “The Liberal” if this was his last meeting, Trus- tee Bolton, who has been ap- pointed to a new job in Mont- real, replied he expected to be “around for a while”. Markham Reports Weekend Accidents Michael F. Warjas of Tor- onto was taken to Newmarket Hospital June 30 following an accident on Don Mills Road at 19th Ave., Markham police re- ported this week. He suffered back injuries. A passenger in the Warjas car, Robert Wodai- czyk, Dundas St., Toronto was also taken to hospital and later released, police said. The car was struck in the rear by another vehicle driven by Tannello Calagero, Elsworth Ave., Toronto. Damage to the first car was estimated at $1,500 and $50 to the second car. Police are in- vestigating. Damage totalled $500 to cars in collision June 30' at the Sixth Concession and 19th Ave. Drivers were Robert Allan. Merrill Ave., Toronto and Earl Williams, Wascoma Ave..

Police are investigating. more than 100,000 gallons from the previous week’s reading of 91,000 gallons used daily. Pumps for both wells were reported operat- ing. Trustees were aware children‘s wading pools, not authorized by the water by-law, were being used. Admitting they “hated to cut off the kids", Trustees said the water situation was being watched closely. Trustee Bolton warned offenders would be charged and a maximum fine of $300 was the penalty. Trustees decided to re- duce meetings to one a month during summer, on the fourth Monday. Meet- ings were scheduled for July 22 and August 26 for the passing of accounts and regular business.

TO CHECK OUR PRICES BEFORE YOU BUY I never remember a year when so many of the older, re- commended garden practices have been proven wrong by our scientists. One of the com- monest bits of advice that I have passed along to home gardeners in the past 15 years is to give the lawn or garden a good soaking once every week or ten days. The theory behind this advice was that deep watering is supposed to be better for plants because it does not stimulate root pro- duction close to the surface. Scientists at the horti- culture department of Cor- nell University say that this theory is all wrong. F‘hey’ve been studying how and where plants absorb water for some time and have come up with some revolutionary ideas. In these studies they examin- ed plants which had root systems at different depths, some as deep as ten feet, while others barely went down a foot. No matter the type of plant they found the pattern was the same. They divided the roots into four zones and discovered that the upper 25 per cent of the roots absorbed 40 per cent of the total water used by the plants, this is exactly opposite to our present theories. The next 25 per cent took up an ad- ditional 30 per cent of the water which left only 30 per cent for the two deep- est root zones. Just as significant was the fact that they found that the roots were not "drawn" by moisture in any particular zone. but developed where the amount of moisture was ade- quate. To get moisture down to the least effective part of the sys- tem, the lower 25 per cent took many times as much water as did supplying the upper 50 per cent. The conclusion we can draw is that frequent, fairly shallow watering will do more good than heavy water- ing at less frequent intervals. Don’t get the idea, though, that it should be light. The kind of. superficial sprinkling that is so popular with city dwellers who use the hose more to cool off hot concrete walks than to really water the lawn is still a bad practice which should be avoided. Mr. and Mrs. Orval McGee of Richmond Hill, announce the engagement of their daughter Sandra Lynne to Mr. Paul Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Moore, Ajax. Miss McGee is on the teaching staff of McKillop School and Mr. Moore teaches at Adamsdale, Sudbury. The wedding will take place on August 3 at 3 pm. in St. Matthew's United Church. Richmond Hill. Keeping these new findings in mind. how should watering be carried out. From all I‘ve been able to gather, the run- ning of the sprinkler over a given area for about twenty minutes a day during hot wea- ther. three or four times a week would be ideal On sandy How To Water The Garden PAUL MOORE Anno'u'nce Engagement AV. 5-1189 soils, even more water may be needed. In the case of trees and shrubs, although the roots may go down many feet, yet it’s the upper one-fourth of these roots which are also the ones that absorb most of the water. Thus, keeping the upper two or three feet moist under a large shade tree will supply it with more water than deeper watering. This does not mean that the soil should be satur- ated so that all air is driven out. Three or four light water- ings a week will mean that the spaces between the particles of soil will not be filled with wat- er, but sufficient water will be retained on the particles them- selves and in the organic mat- ter of the soil, to supply the needs of the plants adequately. At this time of the year even the poorer lawns in southern Ontario look reasonably good. The grass is green and it seems to need cutting every three or four days. I’m certain that this leads many people to neglect some of the vital care that is needed during this period of the growing season. They say to themselves, why do I need to give the lawn any more care? It seems to me that they are behaving like the tradit- ional ostrich, only in this case they are burying their head in the grass instead of the sand. Despite the lush growth of early spring, it is most important to realize that it won’t be long until the crab grass is germinating. Although on an average season the seeds start to germinate around the end of May, you don’t realize that your lawn is infested until early August. It is then that the finger shaped, purple heads of the crab grass plants begin to take over the lawn. With the cool, damp weather of this spring, it’s probable that many crab grass seeds won’t start to germinate until around the 10th of June so there is still time to kill them with prevent- ive treatment during the i next few days.
