OK with their high prices. By the way what has become of the two local provincial • members Eddie Sargent of Owen' Sound and Murray Gaunt of Wingharri, since that "new broom" is in Toronto, ''This is the story of an osage orange fruit which did considerable travelling in this 'area in the quest to establish its identity. You never heard of an osage orange. Well, don't worry about it. There are lots of things to learn. This round green • fruit, about an inch and a half diameter, let's see about the arithmetic, - oh, 3.81 centimetres, was picked up late last fall by Mrs. Ross Cayley. Now Mrs. Edythe (Ross) Cayley lives in Culross township, a feir miles sraight east of ,Holyrood. No, she did not pick it up there. Mrs. Cayley, a sister of Harold Quinn of Kincardine, was attending 'a farm auction sale in the Holmesyille area when she spotted these strange green apple like fruits on the ground as she was walking to her parked car and picked up a couple of them. The Cayley children took it to the Kinloss Central School at Holyrood ' where it was' "identified" tempor- arily. However, Ross Cayley knows our native trees. Next it was given to Mrs. Cayley's niece Miss Mary Margaret Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wes Smith of the 15th south of, Ripley. At Ripley High School it was passed around to no avail. Finally one of the science teachers Mrs. Helen (Dave) Hend- erson took it to Ab Wylds. Here it. was, a ghost from the past, back to haunt him. Thirty years ago the writer had one presented to him at the high school.. At that time both he and Goldie Buckingham of , Kincardine, down on his Monday news gathering, tried unsuccess- fully to identify it. Well this one lay around the house here for week!. Finally, with the help of my wife Fran, it was sent to the Ministry of Natural Resources. Dan Mansell soon identified • it as an osage orange, native of Texas. There is an excellent, black and white picture in the Encylopedia Britan nica. Visitors with Mrs. Adeline Hackett in Ripley this past week were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cook and daughter Peggie of Port Colborne.
