the provincial court William J. Diebolt.

at last Saturday’s.open house at the North Vancouver
courthouse whic was part of Law Week.

thing called the justice system,” he said.

WS This Week’s Garden Tip
Gerberas require special treatment: Vases used must be extremely clean (use bleach to
wash them) as the hollow stemmed Gerbera is very susceptible ro bacteria. Recutting the
stems every few days and changing the water helps reduce stem clogging. Florists usually
wire the stems upright into the bottom of the blossom to ensure the water laden head
does not begin to droop, which would stop the flow of water.
