Mothers Visit
Children At
Kindergarden

“What did you do in kinder.
garden today” was an unneces-
sary ‘question for the mothers
to ask Wednesday, March 18th
when Mts. Rivers, Mra, McLuckle'
and the pupils held open-house
for them and younger brothers
and sisters in the Kindergarden
held in the old United Church.

The activitles were typical
and began with a free play time
when the children could choose
a toy from the shelves lining the
walls being sure that each was
replaced. before another was tak-
en. A story was told to them
and then the Register was mark-
ed, followed by a check on them
for the observance of the health
rules. These are clean hands
and face, brushed teeth and hair
and a clean handkerchief and
their, Interest is keen for the
boys and girls are in competition.

A monitor was chosen from
among them whose duties it is
to call them in turn for wash-
ing and for juice and cookies
and to wash the ae after:
wards,

The children were given a
free drawing time when they

were requested to picture things’

of interest from the morning
story. This:was followed by an
active time when games were.
Played and songs sung for the
entertainment of the guests.
‘The small children -were seat-
ed at a table and provided with
plasticine ‘while the older ones
were given their work books, In
their work books they learn to
copy the letters of tHe alphabet
and the numbers, and concluded
by singing the alphabet song.
Their individual scrap books were
displayed and the walls were
covered’ with the products of
their various activities. In one
corner of the room is a play
kitchen‘ where the girls can in-
dulge their homemaking talents
and in another is a sandbox.
The children will soon be go-
ing outside daily for a short
playtime and several exciting
trips to. various places of inter-

est are in store for them.

It's Time To Get Growing

Ottawa, March 12, 1959 —

) The tuberous begonia is one, of

thethe most satisfactory flower-
in shady

‘ places, An ideal location is where

they are exposed to the morning
sun, but screened from the noon:
day sun by the branches of trees
or shrubs or by a building.

Out In the ‘open, without
shade follage is frequently
scorched by the sun.

Tuberous begonias require a
mellow type of soil, rich in or
ganic matter and well provided

with drainage, Ordinary garden
loam, a Wberal dressing of an
inch or more of sharp  geitty
sand, and three or four inches of
well rotted leaf mold or hort-
icultural peat will provide a suit-
able type of soil. This should be
thoroughly dug to a depth of
about six Inches.

Bebonla plants, ready to. set
out in the garden, may be pur-
chased from’ growers and gar-
den supply houses towards the
end of May. or early in June,
after danger of frost Is over.

Many home gardeners, however
prefer to brow their own plants
in the house, In the home with
south’ or southeast . windows, it
is advisable to sart the tubers be
fore the middle of March. With
ordinary window light, tubers
started in February usually pro-
duce tall weak-stemmed plants
which fall to do well when mov:
ed into garden.

‘Tubers should be started by
setting them with the concave
or flat side up in a garden flat
or planting box that holds two or
