Cliff Turner trees and shrubs lt‘s Battle of the Weeds time. Attack all weeds. especially crabgrass. Apply pre- ’emergence crabgrass killers like Vigoro Crabgrass Preventer. A 20-pound bag will cover about 2000 square feet. Apply when lilacs bloom as that's when the soil is warm and seeds germinate. Fertilize, too. In fact, mix both crabgrass control and fertilizer in your spreader and do the job all at once. This way you'll keep the crabgrass from germinating and encourage a thick healthy lawn. ‘ If you didn't spray late winter itfs wise to do it now to control scale insects. This in- cludes lilacs, too. lawns vegetables lt’s time to prune your rose bushes. Spring's best for almost all varieties except some climbers and ramblers. Spray with an all purpose insecticide. And. remember, roses. too, require feeding, even though they are perennials.

Improve the condition of your soil by adding compost, peat moss, leaves or by turn- ing under cover crops, You can maintain good fertility year after year by adding Pink Vigoro before spading or rototilling Remove dead flowers from spring flower- ing bulbs to keep the garden neat. Spray and feed your roses There are special rose foods which do a good job of providing nutrients. Qheck the roots, corms, and tubers you dug last Fall. if any of the dahlias have soft spots, throw them out. If they‘re dry and wrinkled, just sprinkle them with a little water. Gladioli corms should be firm and dry and ‘outertskins loose. If your tuberous begonias are sprouting they've been sleeping long enough. Plant all outside when the danger of frost is over. vegetables flowers Look at your mowing technique. The best way is to mow often and not too close. Grass blades should be long enough to protect roots from starvation and short enough to be attractive. If you do this, excessive leaf growth will be prevented, fertilizer loss limited and problems such as weeds and insects reduced. If you do have some weeds, 'apply some Weed & Feed on the broadleaf weeds, or try ' ' the Dandelion and Weed kil- ler if your lawn is suffering from a lazy neighbor s blowâ€"over. Another thing to remember is to attach a grass catcher to your mower all season. This will trap the grass and prevent thatching. You can throw the cut grass on the compost heap and use it later on your gardens. A grass catcher also will trap weed seeds. lawns Mr. and Mrs. Peter Walker, now of the Peter- boro area, were here for Brown’s Corners Church 133rd anniversary May 4 and were luncheon guests of the Norman Reids.

South Richmond Hill Task Force meets at 8 pm, May 21, at 43 Spruce Avenue, four doors west of Lions Hall. Please write to him at 275 Carrville Road, or to Bud Newton, Engineering Department, Municipal Offices, Richmond Hill, as soon as possible. This is a pressing issue and input is urgently awaited by Councillor Mike Burnie, chairman of the transportation committee. Mr. Newton would like to hear from as many persons in the area as possible to substantiate these facts and to make proposals for convenient re-routing. Hospital service Most important of all seemed to be the need for persons of the area to get public transportation directly to the hospital for visiting, medical treatment, or as staff or volunteer workers. North Richvale residents received the service from as far as Walmer Road to the Hillcrest Mall, but could not return via that route and were obliged to walk in from Yonge. By Mary Watts Richvale correspondent On the recommendation of many residents who use the Richvale bus, a letter has been sent by a represen- tative of the South Richmond Hill Task Force, to Bud Newton of the town engineering department informing him of the many reasons why this bus was not used to full advantage in the Richvale area. Among the reasons was the duplication of this ser- vice with the existing TTC buses on Yonge Street from Vaughan Road to Garden Avenue where no passengers were being picked up on this route. Donors receiving allergy shots cannot give blood within one week of treat- ment. At the meeting were: June Beck, Claire Horvat, Zena Hartley, Grace Niklaus, Margo Harrington, Marian The same applies for other drugs, of course, and especially important with summer on its way are allergy shots. Citizens study south Richmond Hill buses However, a new ruling states people cannot donate blood if they have taken aspirin within 24 hours â€" the blood could harm the patient and the Red Cross cannot take that risk. Beverley May, district organizer from Red Cross headquarters, brought everyone up to date with what‘s going on at the clinic and showed those in at- tendance the area the Red Cross covers, which is quite enormous. Now, with York Central Hospital expansion, even more blood is needed. Recently, the “Donor- phoners" of Richmond Hill Red Cross Blood Donors Clinic got together for a meeting. The next clinic will be held May 22 in the Lions Hall, Centre Street East, from 2 to 4 pm and from 6 to 9 pm. May is traditionally the best clinic and with the first long weekend of the season coming up, it's very im- portant enough blood is on hand to meet any demands. New' “phoners” are always needed so the Red Cross is more than happy to have them. Two new “phoners” welcomed to the group were Elizabeth Boyer and Beverley Fulton.
