The group had been renting equipment but found it Uio expensive in the long run, HOOKIN(8 AUK IKm.N The group performs free for churches and nursing homes, said Mr. Craig, but charges a fee for singing at conventions and similar functions, "We don't charge for old folks or churches because those audiences are concerned most with the message we're trying to get across.

"At conventions the message is secondary. They just want to see a bunch of kids performing." Mr. Craig is disappointed in the number of bookings his group has for the summer months. The group is planning a tour of northern Alberta towns in the last two weeks of August. "Last year we went In the hole at some of those towns so this year we're only going to hit the towns where we made out pretty well last year," said Mr.

RxP Resigns (1) EDMONTON (CP) Organized two years ago to "pititest the protestors," Edmonton's Sing Out group now is facing financial problems. The singing group members "wanted people to see bow good the world is," said Ron Craig, the musical director, in an interview. The group wag organized "when everything was a love-in or a sit-in or a be-in." "We didn't want to be an 'in' bo we decided to call ourselves Sing Out. "Instead of running people down, we're trying to build them up go they can see the good In the world around them." The group, made up mostly of high school students, has 65 singing members and about 30 persons who help the organization. All are volunteer workers.

Sing Out, which has been spreading the "peaceful revolution" to towns and cities in northern Alberta, now is more than $700 in debt from a tour last summer, a show at the Edmonton Jubilee Auditorium and the purchase of lighting and musical equip Mushroom Mushrooms LA ROCHE LLE (Reuterl Farmer Philippe Noirot found a mushroom seven feet in i rence weighing almost nine pounds while walking in the woods near this southwestern French town. many vege-inlo flower and seed. While flowers and seeds are wanted on peas and beans, we are not happy to see tham or lettuce, cabbage and heels. To prevent this we have to encourage steady growth, and this is accomplished by the judicious use of nitrogen. Thus we come to the old gardeners' second rule: When the season is hot and dry apply nitrogen and restrict the use of potash.

Tips for The Home Gardener At this point we begin to realize that gardeners in countries where mixed and balanced fertilizers are not procurable have belter control over plant growth tlvan we have. The old rain barrel, which collected and stored rain water from the roof, is another thing that causes modern gardeners to smile and count their blessings. Instead of spending the evening dipping a watercan into the barrel and carrying it lo the plants, we turn a tap and let a sprinkler do the job while we go to the lake for a swim. We save time and effort, but we prepare the way for a lot of troubles. The water in the rain barrel wag warmed to air temperature.

It eould be applied to plants in the cool of the eve will slow, and tables will rush ning without any detrimental effects. Water table fmm the service mains is much lower in temperature. Applied to plants in the evening when plants and soil are both at high temperature, it causes a severe shock comparable to a human catching chill. Cooling the soil as the air temperature is dropping inhibits root growth; cooling the plants causes a setback in growth; having moisture rising fmm the soil all night as the air temperature drops leads to fungous diseases on the plants, If we, and our plants are to benefit from the use of labor saving devices, discretion will he needed and gardening habits must lie changed. The lowest temperature of soil and plants is just after sunrise.

Both increase in temperature to reach a peak around sundown, Therefore the dme to use the sprinkler (or do other watering) is early in the morning, from 7 until 10 o'clock, when plants and soil are cool. At this time of day the plants will not receive such a shock from the cold water, nor will II have such an adverse effect on root action. ifjMirtanl still, the soil surface will he reasonably dry by nightfall and the plants will spend the cooler night with less humidity in the air around them. Since both shock and humidity predispose a plant to fungous diseases, we make things easier for our plants and ourselves by watering early in the morning. ROOFING? RELY ON US!

It affects the rate of growth, type of growth, and to some extent the kind of insects that will attack our plants.

the local weather is not ideal our plants reflect the conditions, most of us accepting those conditions as inevitable. If we were totally dependent on the home vegetable plot for our day-to-day meals we would be compelled to take steps to counteract adverse conditions, but as things are we shrug our shoulders and set off to the supermarket. evioug generations of gardeners were not so fortunate. They had to produce at least some of their staple foods, and when weather got tough, the tough got going. Most of the wisdom they passed on lias been ignored by the modern gardener who expects everything on a silver platter.

When we read about applying side dressings of superphosphate at a rate of one-half ounce to three yards of row, or potash at six ounces a rod (pole or perch), we feel sorry for the poor gardeners who lacked scientifically mixed compound fertilizer in an easy-to-use form. What we forget is that our unenlightened forebears, using separate components, had control over the growth of their plants In any kind of season. When the growing season is marked by overcast skies and cool temperatures, garden plants tend to make a lot of soft growth. This is the condition being experienced now in local gardens. It is comparable to growing with an excess of nitrogen in the soil, and the condition is aggravated when nitrogen has been added to the soil before sowing or planting.

The result is weak plants, and soft succulent lips In-fosted with aphides in many instances. The answer does not lie in poisonous sprays, hut in stiffening the growth. This is done hy Judicious applications of potash; which brings us hack to the old gardeners' rule i always apply potash when the season is cool and skies cloudy. A little later we may experience a hot spell. Our plants will then cease to make even normal growth.

Cells will harden, growth WORK FOR WEEK Sow seed of pansies and violas outdoors in slightly shaded spot for flowering next year. Remove any flower buds which may form. Canna plants which were started in pots during April should besafe outdoors now. Must have rich soil, warmest corner in garden if they are to do well. Shear the common rockery plants if not already done, and give the soil around them a dressing of screened compost after watering well.

ahlias, chrysanthemums and gladioli all need thorough watering at roots if the plants are to develop well for blooming. Don't neglect watering limits which bloomed in spring, nor those now making growth and flowers for later display. Transplant kale, leeks, bh-voys and fall broccoli started outdoors in frame during May. These vegetables are ready for use in fall and during winter. Cucumber, squash, marrow and pumpkin plants should make headway as woon as nights become warmer.

Although most f'renc newspapers still place riots after the first leuers of the better know swear words, their wide verbal use in everyday conversation in the past has led to occasional court cases. Earlier this week a young doctor's wife was acquitted on charges of having used "abusive" language in public with another car owner, The word employed merde Is In polite French parlance delicately refprred to as "the word of Cam-bronne," a Napoleonic general credited with thug having replied monsyllablically to a British offer to surrender at the Battle of Waterloo.

The Government will not only take action on Us own account, it will seek the co-operation of business, of labour, of all segments of the economy and especially from every citizen In this Province to bring this about. want to stress that this Is the minimum objective, let nobody say It is the maximum. The minimum objective this year Is to Increase the number of Jobs of people gainfully employed from October 1, 1970 to October 1, 1971 by a minimum of 25,000." Mr. Barrett, the leader of the opposition has asked publicly: "Vher are the jobs Premier Bennett I am glad to announce that In accordance with the latest figures of tha Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, which have just been released, the number of people gainfully employed In British Columbia has Increased by 53,000 between January' 16, 1971 and May 22, 1971. Even compared to October 17, 1970, the number Of British Columbiana gainfully employed has increased by 37,000.

Our firm policy. My government believes that unemployment In British Columbia Is still far too high, but in spite of the thousands still locking to our province, unemployment has dropped by 21,000 from January 16, 1971 to May 22, 1971. The policies we have inaugurated in all sectors of the economy will hopefully reduce It much further.
