Vedder Mountainside Garden
Revelation Of Floral Beauty

Rippon’s rose garden is again
bursting into seasonal glory. Buds

are heavy and about ready to open on
scores of the well-cared briars which
grace the roadside and plot of land
adjacent to Vedder B.C.E. substation.
Over 170 different varieties of high-
grade roses,—Including several speci-
mens imported direct from Ireland
and said to be the first of their kind
to bloom in B.C.—Mr. Rippon’s gar-
den is not one which has involved an
expenditure of hundreds of dollars,
for practically every specimen grow-
ing so wonderfully is the result of a
elever graft of a bud upon the briar
of a wild rose, carefully transplanted
from a nearby hillside. While Mr.
Rippon is specializing in roses, he has
not overlooked the beauty of humbler
flowers, of which carnations and glad-
iolus are generously represented in or-
derly borders around the building.
Colleague of Mr. Rippon in operat-
ion of the sub-station plant is Mr.
Marshall, formerly of Burnaby. In
three years he has become so smitten
with flower-love that his rock-garden,
set around a small mountain stream

family that it is a utiliy that
should be in every home.

Get a quotation from me as to
the cost of installing a plumb-
ing and water system—you’ll be
surprised at the low cost,

Marshall utilized what was formerly
a barren rocky plot which very few
would ever visualize as having floral
possibilities, but he is also terracing
the mountainside with rockery and
Alpine plants. Fronting the pow-

rock-strewn trackage has been beau-
tified with a miniature fish pond and
grotto,

Granted these men have the leisure
with little distraction of city bustle to

most heartening aspect of human

Grisly Souvenir: Tree Limb On
Which Sumas Indian was Hung

Barly days on Sumas Prairie were
not without a spice of he-man interest
—and at least one lynching—accord-
ing to Mr. T. York, who has some ot
the evidence. This Is the stout limb ofa
cedar tree from which a notorious In-
um, was hang-

ome 40 years
ago. Scene xecution was in
front of his father's homestead, situ-
ated just north of the international
boundary near Whatcom roa Phere’s
many a thrilling tale his father
York, now a resident of Huntingdon,
could tell of those early days, and The
News hopes occasionally to print one.
Said to be the first house built on Su-
mas Prairie, the frame structure in
which Mr. T. York first opened his
eyes is yet standing on his farm one-
half mile west of the municipal hall.

Civilization Sustained By Strong Minds
Our civilization “is built and curried
on by people with strong accurate
mental tools of the type indicated and
the citizen who would feel at home in
such a civilization and who would
claim the right to have an opinion on
its problems must, of necessity, have
at least in an elementary form, these
same tools, The man who knows no
history, who has never traced the de-
velopment of our civilization from the
past cannot possible view it in pers-
pective nor have opinions upon any
political question which are other
than crude and unenlightened. With-
out a knowledge of mathematics and
science no man an really under-
stand how the accurate quantitative
methods of modern science are giving
humanity ever-increasing control of
its environment and substituting cer-
tainty for ignorance .

Enlightenment and culture do not
need to be evaluated in terms of dol-

to see it whole is the foundatio
