All Timmy Just Turned. 7. His Parents Just Made A Crucial Investment. They took the time to talk with Timmy about drugs. They realize that in today's world he'll probably b a; )ached by someone who will attempt to lure him to star ing uppers or maybe something even more dangerous. They told Timmy what drugs can do and how they can affect his future and maybe ruin his chances to have a productive life. Now he can make the right decision if he's ever confronted with it. So why wait until tomorrow to make an investment in your children's future. Talk with them today.

Well they are the ones which come out on those nice sunny days in June. There were a number this past June. There were three in succession Tues. June 14, Thurs. June 16, and Fri. June 17 - all at Mary and Graham Cook's place. A fourth one did emerge on Sat. Mary said that she knew that I was out of hives so she called Wingham and Tiverton without luck. Then just when she did not know what to do she was right in luck. • Bee inspector Donald Garland of Cargill called into their place in Ripley and hived the swarm. On Monday noon there was the last silver spoon swarm known to me. It was in the middle of the Kincardine main street and at noon. The police and fire department were called to combat them. Having a swarm on a nice sunny day is one thing I really enjoy - to get them in the box all quieted down.
