The same condition was shown on Carrville Road both at Bathurst Street and out at Yonge Street. At Edgar Avenue at Pear- son. the householder had cut to the ditch, but the ditch areas rather than cut them. Hormone sprays. he felt. were “fairly safe" and 2-4D quite harmless to birds. Markham Township Counâ€" cillor Charles Hoover asked if he did not feel sprays could harm nearby creps such as tomatoes. In such cases. the spray operator should wait until the wind is in the right direction be- fore spraying, Mr. Merritt said. Both townships, however, were praised for their work in cleaning up and restoring old burial grounds. Pictures were seen of cemeteries at Cashel and Eckardt in Mark- ham Township and of the Hope Primitive Methodist Pioneer Cemetery and the Weslyan Methodist Cemetery south of Maple in Vaughan Township. "Some years ago these were in poor condi- tion.” Mr. Marritt said. "Now in Vaughan." Two township employees, Mel Lyons and J. L. Madill were recently appointed weed inspectors. Previously, outsiders appointed to do the job did not stay with it for more than one or two seasons. Mr. Marritt. is retiring shortly as York County weed inspector but will serve as a consultant. His post, is to be assumed by Kenneth Hunter. d-“itl\i\l“Nil\llilllllllilllilli“l“millllllllllltlllllllilli\iliilllillill“llliliilllllllllilli“liliili‘llllillliiilllill“tilt““llilllllillilllllll“iii\llillllilllllllllli“lilllllilllillliillllliliillllllliliiillll“\llllltilillMilllllili\\\\l\ll\\l\\illll\lllll\ill“till“ll\\\i\l\\\\\\\\\l\\l\\\\\\|\\l\l\l\\ll\i“llllllilliiiill-l Mnre than 100 members of over '10 per cent had been dis- the Salvation Army and guestsicharged satisfactorily.

Absentee owners cause the greatest problem. Mr. Marritt said and showed slides of fields in a vacant farm on Concession 10 of Vaughan Township rampart with thistles with clean farm fields right next door. Another shot showed a field of barley well laced with thistles. also on Conces- sion 10 and a field of oats into which thistles had made large inroads on Highway 27.

The same condition was shown on Carrville Road both at Bathurst Street and out at Yonge Street. v u v n a u “ ILLNESS Major ~MacCorquodale thank-1 ed the many individuals, service groups and government agen- cies which have enabled the House of Concord to developi and extend the skills of the residence staff and increase the home's facilities. Courses are now available to the boys in carpentry, painting and decoratâ€" ing and food preparation. The farm course is utilized as both a training and therapeutic actiâ€" vity. Tributes to the House of Conâ€" cord were offered by represen- tatives of several spheres of re- habilitation work. L. H. Wilson, of the Child Welfare Branch, Department of Social and Family Services; Jack Amos. Director of Provin- cial Rehabilitation Services and D. W. Coughlan, Director of Provincial Probation Services congratulated the members of the Salvation Army on their fine work in the past and ex- pressed confidence in the fut- ure of the House of Concord. and the roadside, the responâ€" sibility of the township, was high with ragweed and other weeds. One very weedy lot was shown on Pemberton Road, the only answer to which is spraying. Mr. Mar- ritt said. Here too. one lot had been cut. but another was uncut. The roadside on Weldrick Road at Yonge Street was full of wild’ car- rot. Markham Township Coun- cil was also shown slides of non-sprayed vacant farmland high with weeds and in con- trast. clean fields of treated active farms. Mr. Marritt expressed the opinion that sprays are the only answer to weed control and recommended that the townships should spray some areas rather than cut them. Hormone sprays. he felt, were “fairly safe" and 2-4D quite harmless to birds. Dear Sir and Madam: DURING THE PAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE BEEN LOSING CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF GLASS IN OUR GREENHOUSES BY SMALL CHILDREN DELIBERATELY THROWING STONES. WE NOW HAVE THE SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE BREAKING GLASS AND ENTERING THE GREENHOUSES, RUNNING THROUGH LEAVING DOORS OPEN. WHAT REALLY CONCERNS US MORE THAN THE DAMAGE THEY ARE DOING IS THE FACT THAT WE SPRAY INSECTICIDES, QUITE OFTEN IN THESE HOUSES AND LEAVE IT IN ALL NIGHT. THESE SPRAYS ARE DEADLY POISON AND COULD MAKE SOME SMALL CHILD DEATHLY ILL ON RUNNING THROUGH AND IF THEY WERE TO STAY IN ONE GREEN- HOUSE FOR A LONGER TIME COULD PROVE FATAL. WE STRONGLY URGE YOUASPARENTSTO TRY AND HELP US TO STEM THIS AND INSTRUCT YOUR CHILDREN TO STAY AWAY FROM THE GREENHOUSE AREA AS THEY ARE NOT ONLY LEAVING THEMSELVES OPEN TO CHARGES OF BREAKING AND ENTERING, The meeting concluded with resident of the year. the presentation of awards to Prior to the speeches and boys who have completed awards, guests were treated to grades nine and ten and the vo- a delicious threeâ€"course beef cational training programs.

They include annuals. biennials. winter annuals and perennials and each type requires special attention. Describing a noxious weed as “one that won't stay home". he advised that any municipality may receive government permission to declare a weed noxious if it becomes a problem in the area. Where noxious weeds have been permitted to grow beyond a certain ratio, the municipality may enter and cut the weeds, billing the owner for the service.
