The plants should be covered to a depth of 3^-4 inches. The straw should be spread evenly over the bed when the temperature drops to about —6' and stays there. It should be removed in the spring after the danger of sever frost has passed or when the plants begin to grow. Although a delay.in removing the mulch will delay blossoming, it is better to sacrifice early blooming rather than to risk the results of a severe spring frost. Straw removed, can be left in between the rows to help keep the weeds down. Information of recommended strawberry varieties, general strawberry culture, irrigation, chemical weed control, blossom removal, harvesting, bed renovation, control of insect pests, and diseases in Alberta, ptekyour-own operations and growing strawberries in barrels is contained in a publication "Strawberries in Alberta" available from Alberta Agriculture, Agriculture Building, 9718 - 107 St. Edmonton, T5K - 2C8. ’ District Agriculturists D.L. Steed & John Knapp. meat specials I A public meeting sponsored by the Band Parents Association was held Wednesday evening, Sept. 12th at the Magrath High School. About sixty interested and concerned parents and community members were in attendance. Mrs. Dorothy Engen, President of the Band Parents Association, called the meeting to order and recognized the attendance of Mr. Grant Matkin, Superintendant of the School Board; Mr. Grant Wheeler, principal of Magrath High School; Mr. James Anderson, principal of the Magrath Elementary School; Dr. Mark Dahl, a member of the School Board. Mrs. Engen proceeded by saying that we, the parents of school children are interested in all of the activities of the school and proud of the many accomplishments of school members, but are especially proud of the band and concerned about the lack of music instruction for the coming school semester. She then called upon Mr. Matkin to respond to questions presented to her by some of the band parents. These were; 1. Is there any way our existing facilities can be used to provide music education for our students this year? 2. Where are we advertising for a band leader? 3. Is there any way we can get Mr. Hunter back? Mr. Matkin responded by answering the last question first and assuring us that if Mr. Hunter would come back we would be more than happy to have him. He then told us of the measures taken during the summer to try and acquire a new highly qualified marching band instructor. First of all Canada Man Power checked all of the Universities in Canada for qualified persons without success. Then Universities in the Northwest portion of the United States (Montana, Idaho, Washington, Nevada and Utafy were contacted. Several applicants from these areas were checked out. Two of them were very well qualified and interested in the job but each time complications arose which prevented them from filling the position. The last of these was in late August leaving the school board In a very difficult position. Mr. Matkin stated that it is very easy-to hire someone, but that we want to be selective and make sure that we have a qualified and enthusiastic person to fill the job. During a lengthy discussion the following issues were discussed: 1. Parents were very concerned over the younger band students who need to keep learning music and practising their insturments. Mr. Matkin agreed that for these students (Grades 6,7,8,9) one of Cardston's two music teachers could drive down on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting no later than Oct. 1st and provide instruction. Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Anderson were both agreeable to the suggestion although it will require more juggling of school schedules. 2. Extracurricular activies will be provided once or twice weekly for Senior High band students who need to keep practising and involved with the band also. 3. Mr. Matkin assured the band parents that t^e search for a qualified band leader will continue and that hopefully we will have found one in time for the second school semester (January). He thanked the parents for their interest and strong support and said that the band would not have been able to achieve such presitige without their hard work and enthusiasm. He also stated that the School Board has been very strongly behind us, financially and otherwise. At the conclusion.of his address he was given warm applause by the parents. Mrs. Audrey Ririe then expressed appreciation to the school board on behalf of the band. We, the band parents executive, felt that the meeting was very productive and that minimum goal, at least had been achieved. Band Secretaryi shlrley.Bennett. ' MAC
