Then Lester got dive

SUGAR PLUMS
BY REV. DUNCAN McTAVISH
I have written, about other trees •
that stand out. in the memory of my
childhood days, but none cold be
of greater importance than a plum
•tree in the orchard of my maternal
.grandrnother. It was a short distan-
ce to the west of the first old house
she lived in and not far from the
well from which the family derived
its water supply. • ••
•
It was a small tree. But every,
year it produced, a prop of plums.
Theywere .a light/yellow colbr
unlike any Other plum I had ever
seen and were most delicious tO eat

Lester abdicated ,a• week .aigo •

the. deep woods :on the main-
land. I can't say that he actual.'

gals, because inferences might

Commission .appointed to in.

the Government: .
• Old John, however, excites
our admiration. He just stays
on and -On and on and on.
I think his squawk IS that there
is nothing repeat, nothing
;to beat good old western Canada
wheat. So, being hi dire. straits
myself,I am entering this plea
that you accept my story and
send me your cheque by return ,
' mail so 1 can go to the trading
post and get some more -of the,
real stuff for good old John. •

iThey were called Sugar Plums by
:Grandma. Whether that was their ,
botanical name or not. I probably
will never know , ribr do I care.
