As I sit down to write this arti
cle, I can hear the hum of traffic
on Route 222. I’m amazed at the
number of large trucks that use
this road. And, if I look out one
side of our house, I can see some
nearby houses.
But the western and southern
exposures show an entirely diffe
rent scene. Here I see a tiny dell
with wooded areas on both sides
Teen Wins
Scholarship
COLLEGE PARK, Md.
Melanie Crowder, 17,
recently received a $l,OOO
educational scholarship
from ZIPLOC Freezer
Bags, Dowßrands, Inc., for
her work in the national
4-H food conservation,
preservation, and safety
program.
Crowder, a student at
Thomas Stone High
School, and a resident of
Waldorf, MD, was one of
four 4-H’ers to be chosen
by the Cooperative Exten
sion System to receive the
award, which was pre
sented at the 70th National
4-H Congress in Chicago,
December 7to 11. Awards
were arranged by the
National 4-H Council.
Crowder received the
award for progressive per
sonal and skill develop
ment in the food conserva
tion, preservation and safe
ty program. After years of
helping prepare foods for
canning by her mother and
grandmother, she was well
prepared for her 4-H food
preservation project.
She began by canning
and freezing fruits and veg
etables, which she enjoyed
so much, she says, that “I
was staying up until 2 a.m.
just so I could can the veg
etables and fruits the day
that I had picked them,
because I knew that they
were the freshest that they
would get”
Crowder also learned
some important food safety
techniques, including the
need for sterilization to
prevent bacterial growth.
Crowder’s family,
friends and community
have benefited from her
food preservation skills.
She has prepared and pre
served foods for cook-outs
and parties and has taught
workshops on making
pickles, relish, grape jelly
and tomato juice.
She prepared a booklet
..nd talk for community
members on how to safely
pack lunches for picnick
ing and camping and she
designed and distributed
posters on the fundamen
tals of food storage.

Our house is built against a
small hill and early one morning I
looked out our bedroom window
and saw a red fox laying just a few
feet from the house. He jumped up
and joined another. We watched
them romp and play for five
minutes near a wood pile. This
summer some workmen said that
they saw a deer in the nearby
woods.
My husband has hung three
birdhouses for wrens near the
house and I’m hoping that we can
attract some birds. One is a huge
house that he made with logs and

Dear Golden Pride
I am 70 years old, I have never felt better. Before taking Golden Pride Bee Pol
len, Propolis, Formula #1 and 76 Plus, I had problems with nerves, high blood
pressure, diabetes and angina.
I have been on the above mentioned since April, ’B5. The last visit to my doctor
he said: “Jake, you have a clean bill of health. You don’t have to come back to see
me unless you need to. Right now you are fine."
My weight has come down. I weighed 205 lbs. in March, 1985.1 now weigh
184.1 cut out all nerve pills, I eat good and sleep good. I love what Golden Pride
has done for me.
Dear Golden Pride:
Before beginning to use Formula 07, Bee 111. I conducted tests for my choles
terol level. I tested at 265. After one month's usage of Formula $7, Bee 111, I
returned to have my cholesterol checked again. It dropped to 1951 That's 70
points in 30 days > I made no dietary changes and only added Formula #7, Bee 111
to my diet. A beneficial side effect was that I lost 10 pounds'
Dear Golden Pride:
For many years I suffered from arthritis, borderline high blood pressure, and
leg pain due to poor circulation. After being introduced to Formula H 1 by a friend
and then attending your meeting in Raleigh, I began on 4 teaspoons/day reduc
ing to 1 teaspoon after that.
After just one week of Formula 01,1 no longer had any problems with arthritis.
After just 2 weeks, my blood pressure dropped 10 points, both top and bottom
readings. My legs don't hurt anymore either. TM SOLD'
Dear Pat:
I have Parkinson Disease that causes me to have tremors and have been
unable to hold anything in my hand or use it much After my first jar of Formula 1,
my tremors are 90 percent gone and I now have use of my hand. I am so thankful
for Golden Pride products because Bee Pollen gives me energy and Propolis
keeps me from suffering from a continuous kidney problem I have had for years
