Welcome Wagon Club ' give you noticed the brown needles on the ce- dars? This is due to _the Cedar Leaf Miner, a bug which specializes in cedars. I asked the Natural Resources Department at Maple. what should be done about it. I was advised that a systemic poison is required such as dimethoate. Since the bugs do not come out into the open, the birds will not be able to eat the poisoned insects. Thomhill Cemetery.

Alf McAlister of Thornhill United drove a bus load of senior adults on a de- lightful trip to Dundurn Castle in Hamilton May 23. The forecast was for rain but the day proved to be one of the loveliest this spring. Thornhill Senior Adults Visit Hamilton's Dundurn Castle The adults left the church at 9:30 and reached Hamilton approximately an hour later. By special arrangement they were shown through the castle at 11 am so there was just time to view the aviary before the tour started. The group was divided into three, each having its own conduct- ed tour. The guides wore the maids' outfits of about 1850. THORNHILL CONNECTION The castle is situated on Hamilton Bay. There are in the neighborhood of 35 rooms. All \but three of them are furnished in the style of the 19th Century. The re- maining rooms are used as a museum. This castle was built by Alan McNab who for a time was owner of the now gone Pomona Mills on John Street in Thornhill. The restoration of the castle was the Contennial project of the City of Hamil- ton and the result is well- worth viewing. The beautiful antique furniture aroused great admiration. The paint- ings and pictures were very interesting and the whole building is a monument to the life of the aristocracy in ‘the 19th Century. Famous Structure Built By Thornhiller The greatest interest was and mak aroused in the basement.

The floors and the long, dark passages were made of red brick. We can envisage the servants scrubbing the cold. damp floors on their hands and knees. It was here also, where they ate and slept. WAS SELF-SUFFICIENT In these days of super- markets it is hard to believe that in those days most houses had to be self-suffi- cient and most things made in the home. The basement included a well room and cistern; a dairy room. ice pit, laundry room, coal and wood rooms, larders. wine cellar, even a room for brewing beer. They made their own candles, dried their own spices, and preserved their own fruit and vegetables. The tour took a full hour. The group then lunched in the park and ‘visited the gift shop before starting home. It was a very tired but happy group which arrived back at the church. SUDDEN ILLNESS It was regretted that the sudden illness of Reginald Sparks prevented him and his wife from going on the trip. The club hopes he’ll re- cover quickly. The next meeting is sche- duled for June 13 at 1 pm. This is an important meeting to discuss future plans. so it is desirable that all members be present to share ideas and suggestions. Also would everybody start thinking about the Christmas \bazaar and make or donate some ar- Lticle to be put by for that paring great sounds to be produced by the band.

But it’s true, He totes the heavy clubs because one club won‘t do for all occasions. In one pair of bifocal lenses are the ingredients for almost all occasions. A good story. but only partly true! You must have noticed that dozens of different kinds of bi- focals are worn. Why so many? There are two reasons. One is the prescription indication, the other is the way the glasses are used.
