HAIRSIYLINU YOU CAN BE A NATURALIST - by Ellen bonwill 'l‘he vzz-d of summer brings a new dimension for the naturalist. whether a beginning one, or an old‘leer. We know winter is coming soon.

We've been told that the little SHELT 100's are about the easi- * to grow Sn we will start with those. But to add a little spice to life, ‘15; ind as an additional experiment, we are trying to too; a stray branch of Lhe norr‘wcld GOLDEN QUEEN from the gaxden. Jid you know you can make a new plant by "layering"? ~Fill a pot with Luol soil, bend over a branch from a growing plant, so part of it can fit into thw suil in the pot, leaving the tip extending out into the air again. Keep wall watered, and check in a couple of weeks to see if roots have begun to devwlop in the section underground. We have done this with shrubs, and vines. Tomatoes? Never before. Anothur way of capturing bits of summer for the winter is to start coll‘ ecting wild plants, usually the seed stage of woods, to make dried flower art‘ angvmcntz. All along the roadsidos, by fences, and at the ends of roads, be- ide the edges of hayfinlds, you may find all sorts of wild things, gone to‘ need. The brown need stalks of duck, white puSSytoes, shades of gold and tan of grains “ all are worthy treasures of the collector. Gather more than you need, tn guarv with others. Hang your booty in a loosely tied bundle from the rafters in barn or garage, or back porch, site from moisture and wind.

Many of the activities brought residents and 5- tourists together through special events, ‘~: barbeques yard sales etc. The summer 1. play-ground/camp programs appear to have ' served the children well with many interesting offerings. Armiumflh‘ ("A \,.a,mw<mgwme_w As a yearâ€"long resident it seemed that the number of tourists and visitors was about the same as last year however I noticed considerably less traffic on weekends when our area is usually flooded. Many spent time watching the efforts of our athletes at the Olympics while others became involved in the inevitable work connected with the upâ€"coming Federal election. Can anyone have imagined the number of major events planned for 1984.....Ontario's bicentennial, the Federal election, the Queen's visit (delayed slightly), the Olympics, the Pope's visit as well as Presidential election in the USA. How can this be topped next year? It seems as though everyone wants to be in the act. Even a possible late fall Provincial election has been heavily rumoured. I suppose the only positive thing to be made from all of this _is that 1985 should be a marvellously relaxmg year for everyone..... - ' lele invenlory ol d F clor Servuce We 03W 3 Comp V ‘.
