Projects for 1981 include continuation of work on the wild flower sanctuary on Mara Street; planting out of the triangle on Main Street and planting of a sugar maple on Clan Gregor Square on Arbor Day. Mrs. Leda McAllister introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. Louis Stadelmann, a man of wide and varied interests - meteorology, astrology, gardening and science, who had chosen as his subject the study of bees and their habits. Expla fining h*w he had fust become interested, Mr. Stadelmann told how he had been introduced to bee- keeping by his grandfather in Switzerland. Over the years he had maintained that interest, although • Fred tells a desperate tale By Helen Owen Except for when he drops by for a quick snack I haven't seen much of Fred, or his wife Freda, and one can't blame them for not hanging around too long this weather. But obviously they now consider me as a fast food outlet! However, when Fred turned up about 10 o'clock one morning I guessed he had something on his mind. Wrapping my coat around me I went outside to find out what was bothering him. Poor, little fellow, he was so cold his teeth were chittering, , "Quick," he said "I, can't stay long. It's SO ld and there's so much go " Clutching my pen in icy fingers I prepared to listen -and report. "First of all," he said, WE HAD A SCARE ABOUT Selina - told you how depressed she , was, didn't I?" I nodded. "Well," he continued, "next thing she disappeared. 'Course Freda immediately thought the worst, real pessimist she is. And we had all the kids at our place -real panic it was. Seems she had told the children she was going to find their Dad, but of course, they forgot to mention it! Anyhow, somehow or other she saw the bit of paper about one of the deportees having been seen at the Fish and Frog place. She didn't know it was him, but since he doesn't know his left paw from his right - or even his tail - it figured it would be him - no sense of direction. So, 'what does she do? Takes off to join him." "But," I interrupted, "it could have been any one of the others.:" "Right," . said Fred. `.`.But it wasn't, and now she's staying ther with him - sort of "death us do. part". I wiped a tear from my eye, and a drip from the end of my nose. -"Hcive fornatitic," :I- en- thused. Fred, however, was more practical. "What about the kids," he demanded. "Or maybe you'd like to adopt them?" "Love to - but the landlord doesn't allow pets." Fred eyed me cynically. "Too bad," he sighed. "Well, looks like we'll have to put up with them, at least until the weather improves, but they're such little devils - no discipline, that's their trouble - too bright-eyed and bushy -tailed by far." "By the way," I said, changing the subject, "I hear that more of the `reds' have been spotted - mostly along the lake shore. And there's still one hanging around the Reeve's house. Know anything about that?" Fred edged a bit closer and. lowered his voice. "You bet," he murmured in a conspiratorial whisper. "As a matter of fad we are watching things very carefully- Have you seen that distinguished looking grey feller - not the one who came from the Ministry, this one's from the R.C.M.P. Squirrel Secret Service Division. They know what's going on. There are other under cover chaps around as well. You wouldn't believe it, but I have, it on good authority that there's ac- tually a communist cell - inside a water pipe of all places. Someone suggested that they're being landed in very small submarines, but I don't think that's likely. I mean how could they get through the ice?" I agreed that it didn't seem to be a very plausible ex- planation, and then I noticed -we were being watched! A small red furry body was crouched in the fork of the tree just. below Fred's branch: Before -I could "issue • a warning, Fred had seen him too. The interview was over, and Fred with a flying leap took off, but the intruder moved first and they both disappeared out of sight. modern methods of bee- keeping had changed from the traditional ones he had known as a boy.

IIPPW Jj { 4 Mr. Stadelmann went on to explain the life style which demanded reiterant cycles of work, sacrifice and conformity in which the queen, the workers and the drones were bred, nourished and fulfilled their precise roles, the whole process being perpetuated by the "Spirit of the hive". One of the interesting' studies carried out by Von Finsch had been the discovery of the "bee dan- ce", a form of com- munication which enabled bees to acquaint each other with the location and quality of pollen. The value of honey'as food was recognized before Christ but, said Mr. Stadehnann, its uses extended further because of its known medicinal value., aphrodesiac properties and use in cosmetics. Concluding his story, Mr. Stadelmann emphasized -the pitiless society of the hive, always striving for the future of the community.
