This is always a lively event, giving the opportunity to share surplus plants. For the beginning gardener it is a bonanza which can help start a garden with many of the old favorites as well as hearing from experienced gardeners how best to care for the plants. A delightful slide presentation and talk on- wildflowers was giver. by John Gregory of Canoe Lake Road. While he now operates a fruit tree nursery, John was formerly employed in several nearby provincial parks. He is therefore very familiar with our area. He explained that, since this part of Canada was originally forested, the native wildflowers are found in a woodland habitat. Most of the flowers of the fields are species introduced from Europe by settlers as the land was cleared. President Yvonne Turner reported on her attendance at the Annual Meeting of District 3 of the Ontario Horticultural Society, April 24 in Ameliasburg. She gave an outline of the activities of our Society in 1987 to that group. At the June 7th meeting a representative of the Master Gardener Program will hold "Clinic for Plants". Members will be able to ask questions about gardening problems or bring a plant for examination. Everyone present was given a complimentary package of seeds and a gardening calendar frcm the Dominion Seed Company. The seeds were a special mixture of annuals commemorating the ccmpany's 60th anniversary. The meeting closed with refreshments. THE LITTLE BARN STUDIO ELDON R.

The committee focused their discussions on a list of principles or areas of. agreement. These principles form part of a discussion paper that was presented to the committee in April. "I believe that the committee is very close to adopting a revised version of the discussion paper", said Bill Hardy, chairman of the advisory committee, "this paper will assist them in the development of a proposal for the management of the waterway." The advisory committee was established in March, 1987 by Vince Kerrie, the Minister of Natural Resources in response to public concerns about the proposed James Auld Provincial Waterway Park. The committee held its first meeting on July 9, 1987. The next meeting will be held on June 22, in the Elgin area. The committee will consider a revised version of the discussion paper. A presentation will be given by the consulting firm of Laventhol and Horwath, who are in the process of completing a recreational market study on the waterway. The meeting will be open for the public to observe. Members of the committee will be available for questions after the meeting. M - nub .lMu frail new,“ rial.

By Edna Harris The title above cculd be a recipe for a successful kidney transplant! One of the first "Hemodialysis Machines" used, was made up of a beer can and a sausage skin. The principle used today is the same, although the beer can has been replaced by a casing of hard plastic, and the sausage skin has been replaced by cellulose fibres. In both methods, the blood of a patient with kidney failure, flows through the cellulose fibres and is pumped back into the patient by the dialysis machine. The word "dialysis" is from the Greek language and means "set free". In a patient with kidney failure the purpose of dialysis is to free the poisons from the blood and st. maintain life. In my own case, I was on the Hemodialysis machine for four years, and then on 21 November, 1985, Ireceived a kidney transplanted from a cadaver donor. At the time of writing, the transplantation is a successful one. It would be my body's normal response to reject the transplanted organ, and to comb at this I take two drugs, one of'these is the new drug Cyclosporin. In Norway there is a site where a special type of mud is found, and in that particular mud is a fungus from which Cyclosporin is made. And, so, thanks to a beer can, a sausage skin and a spoonful of mud and by the Grace of God, I can live and move and have my being. The Sesquicentennial Nurses Symposium will be on June 6 and 7 at the Louise D. Acton Building, George St., Kingston. An Exhibit of Dialysis Machines and other equipment from the Renal Unit will be on display on the morning of June 7. This Exhibit is open to the general public.
