Apiary a beehive of activity EXTRACTING -- Summer helper Apiarist Bill Ferguson isn't sure yet whether the 1987 honey crop will he smaller or larger than previous years, or about average. All depends on this summer's weather. A good crop of dandelions provid- ed the bees with adequate nectar to- feed ofeed themselves until the summer flow started. Ferguson is producing. canola honey for the third year. Canola is still relatively new in this section of Huron, and Ferguson is still learning Ian Thiel feeds honeycombs into the extractor at Ferguson Apiaries how to handle it. The bees need to he strong to collect the canola nectar. and the canola honey can not be tell in the hive. as it begins to granulate in 10 days: Some canola honey is sold separate- ly to customers who ask specifically for the mild, white product. The current basswood !low is not as heavy as usual because of the dry weather being experienced. Customers buying honey right now get a mix of canola, basswood and spring flowers. The clover honey is just beginning to come in. The crop will be depen- dent on what the weatherman brings. 11 conditions are loo dry. (he clover won't bloom; if Loo wet, the blossoms gel too big and (he bees won't work them. The price of honey has strengthen- ed this year. Although the wholesale price barely covers the cost of produc- lion. Ferguson said his retail sales al $1.25 per pound are keeping his business - alive. • HONEY SEASON Apiarist Bilt Ferguson puts combs of honey through the uncapping machine which prepares the combs for the extractor. A HE HAS HIV S -- Bill Ferguson trundles somhoney-filled hives. into the apiary to begin extrac- ting their honey. No longer down in the dump after retrieving lost articles A cryptic display ad in last week's i -A caught -the eye of the editorial staff. The ad read "Pete, Wendy and Bert would like tb thank the Reeve of Hensall for the use of the Hensall dump Saturday. A good time was had by all and hopefully we can do it again sometime." The intrepid investigative reporting staff of this paper has ferreted out the news behind the news. It seems that Wendy Case couldn't find a paper bag containing $50 worth of clothes for seven -month-old son Adam. Husband Peter insisted he had set the bag on the kitchen counter, but his wife could not., recall seeing it. A search.of.the house proved fruitless. However, Wendy remembered she had thrown out a paper bag she had assumed was filled with the garbage left over after she and her -sister-in- law had brought home some snacks from the local fast-food. outlet. Wendy mentally retraced events. She threw a bag out Thursday. The garbage was collected on Friday. - Adam's wardrobe has disappeared at the same time. Could it be in the Hensall dump? "I - was so mad at myself for possibly doing something so stupid 1 decided to go looking", Wendy Cromarty Church marks anniversaries By MRS. ROBERT LAING Cromarty Presbyterian Church , celebrated the 135th anniversary of the congregation, and 122nd anniver- sary of the present church building on June 28 with a good, attendance of . members, former members, and friends from heighboring congregations. - - The clerk of session, Jean Carey, conducted the service with Carol Ann Scott at the organ. The junior choir sang Thank You Father for Making Me Me, and the senior choir, Precious -Memories. Lisa Gardiner read the scripture and the responsive reading was led by.her sister, Leanne. For the children's story, Mrs. Tom Scott described the school which she attended in northern Saskatchewan; noting that there was no basement or running water, in the school and there were no telephones in the area. Lighting was by oil lamp. The post of- fice was five miles away and delivery was made once a week. In the fall men drove forty or fifty miles to town to bring in supplies for winter. - There was no church or Sunday School, but there was always prayer in the morning and Bible stories on Friday. She concluded by saying that we don't realize that God has given us so much, and he looks to us to help other people. Mrs. Lucie Milne of Mitchell was guest speaker. Using Matt. 9:16,17 as ' scripture she stressed the value of what has gone before, both in the building of the church and in the faith of the generations of people. .Many new things such as organs, hymn books, modern Bible transla- tions, and women ministers have been introduced at different times to old churches, sometimes with much opposition. Christianity can never _change in content of faith, only in its form as -additions from the present blend in with the old. Ushers for the anniversary service were Brian Miller and Richard Templemen. Following worship lunch was served in the Sunday School room. Personals We welcome Gary and Gerda Dill and their two children to this com- munity. The Dills have purchased Eldon Allen's farm and moved from Brodhagen on the weekend: The Allens are now living on the Staffa road, prior to moving to their new house in Mitchell in the fall. Inciden- tally, both families' '' have the same phone, number. recalls. She tucked Adam under her arm andset-off--tor the dump_ on Saturday. Adam did not appreciate his sur- roundings, and soon began to cry. Wendy felt like crying too,'as she gaz- ed at mountains of plastic garbage bags offering no clue as to which had come from the Case household. She and Adam returned home. Not wanting to give up so easily, she enlisted the help of her mother "Bert" Kloss and set out again. People bring- ' ing their waste to the dump were sur- prised to see two women methodical- ly opening garbage bags and digging in. They overheard the older woman address the younger women with strange remarks like "Do you use Nabisco Shredded Wheat?", or "Did you make strawberry jam this week?" The two finally gave up. This was husband Peter's chance to prove he was blameless in this whole affair. He headed along the well-worn trail to the Hensall dump. Just as Peter was ready to concede -_ defeat. he found in one bag an address a few doors from the Case home on King St. He must be getting close. He persevered, and finally identified the three bags he had set out on Thursday night. Guess which one contained Adam's new clothes? Correct. The third and last. Peter sneaked the bag back home. He intended to make his wife suffer just a bit longer as penitence for ac- cusing him of not dropping the parcel off in the kitchen, as he had insisted all along. His revenge wag shortlived. Wendy. had been tipped off by the dump attendant. A relative who enjoys a practical joke inserted the ad. As Shakespeare said, all's well that ends well And aren't you glad 'e cleared up the mystery for you. Who knows? There may be a thousand more dramas behind our ads, all wailing to be told.
