Rumored air Service change Not confirmed

Rumors, which could not be con- firmed however, were hoard licre yesterday indicating a change in the air service bet-wean this prov- ince and the mainland ls contam-

latcd.

Some reports said the Trans Canada Lines were to take over the Monciom-Charlotielown service in place of the Canadian Airway’. which operates a. feeder line at present, and there were hints Sum- merside might not be included as a point of call.

Nothing of an official nature was available however. Nil’. H. S. Jones, superintendent of Canadian Air- ways in the Marltlmes is in Winni- peg and may not be back here for almost irwo weeks. _

Last night Trans Canada offi- cials at Moncion and Montrcal said they knew nothing of any clmngc.

Hardy Chrysanthemums

(Experimental Farms News)

To keep the garden gay in an- tuirnn the hardy or garden chrys- anthemums are recommended, and given a reasonably open season it should be possible to extend the season of bloom wcll into October, says J. Scatterly. Head Gardener, Dominion Experimental Station, Harrow, Ont.

The first chrysanthemnm to reach England was a small single vellow type introduced from China about the year 1755. The largo flowered Japanese sorts did not arrive there until i862. Ii. was about thirty years after that bdfore ehrysm- ihcrnum culture rccflvcd much zit- tention in North America. 'I‘hc pres- cot-day so-callcd "hardy" chrysan- themums have been produced in most cases ihrouzh hybridization of the hardicr typos with the cnrliosi flowering of those which are grown in greenhouscs Korean hybrids in single double, and pompon types are of hardiar pnrcntnqe and are accept-able additions io a list of varieties already long

The vnrlcilcs chosen will depend mvuily on the locality and in Ills- i-ricis where rnrly frosts occur it would be well m use tho earliest flowering soris.

“No organization is bcllvi" quali- fied and has a boiler knowlcuue of vihe needs of our limiting forces than the Canaciim veterans of the last war who compose the Canad- ian Lcgion," I-Ils Planar oleui-Gov- crucr B. W. lcPvqc stale-l lnsl nlglr. in officially opening new Can- lnclim Legion War Services lint. "Already this organization has dccn- onstrated its ability in doinga mag- nificent. job boin in Canada an: Great Britain in providing" comforts and enteriaimneiits for the fighting forces," His Honor continued. And thfy are to ‘be congratulated for providinfi this splendid recreation hut to e used for the forces in this locality. It is therefore a gmai pleasure for mo to declare it of- fically opened and wish the Canad- ian I/sgior. War Services every sun- cess in providing a heme for our men in uniform away from none." I-Iis Honor said in concluding his remarks

Between 450 and 500 persons at- tended the opening yesterday with tea being carved from 4 to 9 o clock and many were the cvxnplimcniaiy remarks heard on the splendid ac- vconunodatlon that is now open to men in the services. Recreation fa- cilities, a canteen, a. library and reading room, all up-io-daie and Slllierviscd by capable committees make it n certainty the troops will now be able lo make themselves at ncmc.

The Hut has now been in opera

tlon for two months but it was not until yesterday that the official opening took place. _ In addition to the official open- ing of the Canadian Legion can- tccxi and rest rooms for the Scr- vices there were-also o ened a c, 1,, W. S. reading and writ g room and a ll y room. The reading and writing mom is in very well equip- ped quarters on the ground floor and wasfonnerly occupied by the Red Cross. The library is in a large and pleasant room up stairs and is the result of the imtlring efforts of the educational commit- tee of the Canadian Legion War SCTVICPS. The books and equipment came from many sources, acknow. ledgment of which has been pre- viously made in the press. - some new books were purchased as a contribution by the Iiadics Anxu. iarv of the Legion and many other excellent titles were presented by individuals and interested groups. The books are mainly light, fjmyon selected to provide relaxation and pleasant reading for visitors to the centre. The library has been in op. oration some two wrecks and h“ been very much appreciated.
