The site, only tested for one year, seems to be proy- ing successful. ite spruce seedlings, easily killed during germination and early seedling stage must be carefully tended. Too much water, too little water or too much sunlight can wipe out on embryo crop. During early stages, seedlings are protected by various means. To produce hothouse effects, polythene sheeting is used to cover the beds, Later, to ward off sunlight, snow fencing is unrolled over seed beds:to give shade and prevent too rapid drying. At another period, rice hu produced from processing plants in Vancouver, are used to insulate seed beds from frost. Standing little more than an inch high, year-old seedlings at Hixon are soon to be trans- planted—transplanting beds are being prepared now. Missionaries visit Wms.

By noon the floats and those participating in the parade had formed up at Fetters Mill and were joined there by the Queen’s float. The parade, though not as large as in 1958, was well rep- resented. Leading the parade were two official cars, the beaut- ifully decorated Queen's float, the Maypole dancers’ float, then one of the most enjoyed i- leges of the parade, the Kiwanis band from Williams Lake. Following the band were seve- ral floats, one which was a chuck wagon that was pulling a white goat tied at the back. The boys and girls in costumes and dec- orated bikes joined in the parade at McLeod's garage. The par- ade then entered the school grounds where the judging of floats took place. The Queen's float stopped in front of the grandstand to let the queens and their party emerge. It was a very lovely sight to behold. Many mothers and’ fathers hearts swelled with pride as they saw their lovely young daughters and sons step from the float and walk under the flowered, curved arch held by two guards of honor, ascend the decorated grandstand and take their places without so much as a misstep. Leading the party from the float were the two guards of honor who stood while the little crown bearer came first, then the young flower girl, followed by the Queens and their attendances. ROYAL PARTY The royal party wore beauti- ful full bouffant white dresses with white capes, trimmed with white fur on the collars, white gloves and carrying little curved baskets of spring flowers.

The new Queen spoke briefly then immed- iately commanded the flag be raised and declared the sports day open. The Kiwanis band gave a dis- play of routine marching and music which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Having this band out for the day most certainly com- pleted the festive feeling.
