Although there were on- ly 53 classifications compared to 80 in the August show, there were considerably more exhib- its, It was quite evident that Thornhill gardens have respon- ded readily to the fine grow. ing weather for the past month and there were flowers. fruits and vegetables in abund- ance to testify to this. “You must have better earth than we do down in North York" commented Mrs. R C. Armstrong of the North York Horticultural Society, who judged the show. A mem- ber of that society for many years Mrs. Armstrong this year directs the activities of the ju- niors in her society.

Presentation Highlight of the evening was the presentation to Mr. and Mrs. R. Healey of the service diploma of the Ontario Horti- cultural Association. this is given to members for outstand- ing and exceptional work in their community.

Mrs. Healey’s name had been engraved on the beautiful silver bowl and she will be entitled to keep it for a year. “It’s taken me 18 years to win this" quipped 'Mrs. Healey as she accepted , the bowl. Mr. Bone expressed the sor-l row that all members of the Thornhill Society felt at losing two such valued members. “But there is a horticultural society in Brooklin and I have told them you are coming” he added. Mrs. M. E. Harris, on behalf of the Thornhill society pre- sented Mr. and Mrs. Healey with a gift certificate from the Ellesmere Nursery in Brooklin and wished them every success.
