President's Message - 1965

OHS Yearbook 1965

The President's Message

As time passes man is forced to live in an increasingly artificial environment. We now live in an age of computers and automation, of synthetics and air conditioning. We are not designed for this type of existence and look for ways and means of redressing this imbalance. Participation in sports is one way but does not suit everyone. Gardening offers both physical activity and mental relaxation and is a source of never ending interest and satisfaction. Best of all, gardening can be taken at a pace of one's own choosing in a time when the world seems to spin around in place of merely turning.

It is the aim and objective of our organization to foster and encourage a universal interest in gardening. Consequently your Board has worked hard to present a program for 1965 which will be interesting and informative and, above all, one which will encourage the participation of all members in the various activities outlined in this booklet.

With best wishes for a highly successful year in your garden in 1965.

R H. Briggs

President
