Apiary a beehive of activity
EXTRACTING — Summer helper
Apiarist Bill Ferguson isn't sure yet
whether the 1987 honey crop will be
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 themselves until the summer
flow started.
Ferguson is producing canola
honey for the third year. Canola is
still relatively flew 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 be
strong to collect the canola nectar.
and the canola honey can not be left
in the hive. as it begins to granulate
in 16 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 -
wealher being experienced.
Customers buying honey right now
get a mix of canola, basswood and
spring flowers.
The clover honey is just beginning
to conte in. The crop will be depen-
dent on what the weatherman brings.
If conditions are too dry..the clover
won't bloom: if towel. the blossoms
get too big and the bees won't work
them.
The price of honey has strengthen-
ed this year. Although the wholesale
price barely covers the cost of produc-
tion. Ferguson said his retail sales al
$1.25 per pound are keeping his
business alive.

through the uncapping machine which prepares the combs for the
extractor.

No longer down in the dump
after retrieving lost articles
tryptic display ad in last week's
T -A caught the eye -of the editorial
staff. The ad read "Pete, Wendy and
Bert would like to 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.
R 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 riot recall seeing it. A
search of the house proved -fruitless.
However, Wendy remembered she
had thrownout 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 al
the same time. Could it be in the
Bengali dump':

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 neighboring
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, put 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
seripture 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
Aliens are noww living on the Staffa
road, prior to moving to their new
house in Mitchell in the fall. Inciden-
tally, both families still have the same
phone number.

recalls.. lucked Adam under her
arm and set off for 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"
Klossand 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.
r
Just as PeWr_wairmly1oconcede
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 bad 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 was 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 waiting to
be told.
