- THE POST, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1950 FRUIT GROWERS WILL VISIT BACK MOUNTAIN ORCHARDS . The Luzerne County fruit grow-'® ers will hold their annual Fruit, Tour and~”Picnic next Wednesday, | *¥ starting at 1:30 p.m. at the Har- old Brace Orchard in Orange. The road will be posted. At Brace’s there will be a demonstration on Mist Sprayers. These are sprayers that use concentrated materials, and it is only necessary to use small amounts of water per acre. There will also be a demonstra- tion of Nitrogen fertilizer as ap- plied by spraying leaves. The tour will then proceed to the Thomas Mineo Orchard. This was an abandoned orchard five years ago, but it has been brought back into efficient ' production. There orchardists will witness the peeler preparing apples for pies, and freezing and holding cold storage rooms. The tour will continue to the Marie Pomeroy Orchard, a small orchard specializing in the pro- duction of Northern Spy Apples. The fourth and last stop will be at the N. Y. Lewis Orchard at Mt. Zion, one of the oldest and best- managed orchards in Luzerne County. All fruit growers and their fam- ilies are invited to attend this an- nual tour and picnic. The Horti- cultural Association will furnish the lunch for you and your fam- ilies. Come and bring your ap- petite.

Not that we don’t like others too, for we are a Will Rogers on that, we have never met a person we disliked. But church people particularly have our admiration as they are always struggling so to keep a church going. We have heard of ‘rich” churches but we never belonged to one. Every church we ever at- tended always had to count its pennies and find ways and means to raise money for a new roof, or to repair a pew, or to repaint the edifice. We remember as a kid in Brook- lyn going to Sunday School and being continually drafted to sell tickets for a minstrel show or a moving picture performance every- time the minister or the Board of Deacons announced that funds had to be forthcoming for repairs to the church. As we grew older we never understand this as we know that every one believes in a church. “Why,” they say, “We have to have churches. If it weren't for Christianity this world would be in an awful mess.” “We have to have ministers and priests,” theyscontinue, “To marry and bury us, sure we believe in churches.” Yet, when it comes to putting the dough on the line it's the same persons (the church goers) who give their monzy, time, and hard work to keep the church spirit alive. Now, we don’t want any one to think we are one of those goody-goody guys, for we are not. We are more sinful than most, but we do admire the church goers who are continually working to keep a Godly roof over our head. Take those at Ruggles for in- stance. There they have been going to church for years in a building that is not much more than a shack. They formed a “We want a church club” and have been giving suppers, musicals, etc. to raise money to build ‘a real edifice of which every one in Lake Town- ship would be proud. The build- ing is about half completed. They need funds to finish it. It's the same persons over and over again who have raised the money thus far and it probably will be the same dauntless group who will some day see, through its efforts alone, a splendid church. If every one in Lake Township would send just one dollar, the building could be completed this year. In fact we think that is such a good idea that our dollar is going in the mail today. Then there are the women at Alderson Methodist Church. Every year among their other efforts to raise funds, is their annual flower show. This August 23 at the High School will be their tenth exhibit.

This year, beside the flower dis- play, there will be a village store and post office. ‘This idea was thought of by one of the enter- prising ladies that is always think- ing of some way to keep a church in existence. The women are send- ing cards to their friends asking them to purchase a gift not worth less than a quarter. The secret contents of the packages will be sold for twenty-five cents each at the flower show. Many friends will contribute articles worth more than that price, so you can’t lose when you buy. One member of the church sent a card to President Truman. We don’t know if she has received his gift yet, but it is possible that it may be on hand the night of the 23rd, and if you should purchase that, it would be a novelty to show your great-grandchildren sixty years hence. Huntsville Church Raising Honey Bees Pose Problem For Congregation Norman Smith says that the pic- ture of the Huntsville Methodist Church festooned with bees, which recently appeared in the Wilkes- Barre Record, does not tell the whole of the story. The illustration shows the bees swarming over the top of a stained glass window but does not hint at the bees which are working away inside the clap- boards or the two queen bees bur- ied beneath the surface. The two small colonies noted in June have merged into one huge colony, with thousands of bees collecting late summer honey. John Headman, veteran bee- keeper at Huntsville, looked over the situation early in June when activity was first noted, and gave it as his opinion that building a comb would not harm the wood- work, as the bees had already laid a foundation of protective wax. The only way to remove the bees at this point is to exterminate them, right in the middle of their busy season, a measure which no bee- lover could contemplate. Bees fly in a stright line for their hive, making no detours from flow- er to comb, so church members have not>been annoyed or attacked by the workers. The concensus of bee-fanciers is that when the bees become dormant with the onset of cold weather, the entire colony can be moved. = THE LOW DOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE You know, good people, the way the news reads, we have cause for running an anxious hand across our brow and cogitatin’ on how-come we been such a sucker. How- come we have stood for - the rattlin’ around in big places of small people. How-come we have permitted the term “big business” to be bluster- ingly used as meaning ‘‘dread- ful business.” And now, when trouble looms, what happens. We ask the big gun makers, the big TNT makers, the big iron foundries, to pass the ammuni- tion, and quick. You don’t make big steel in a teakettle. you gotta have big steel plants. And these big plants—which will now come to the rescue —are the very ones that have survived the sniping of our Willard Wright Family, Hosts To Frear and Parrish Families The Willard Wright family, Dale Cottage, were hosts to members of the Frear and Parrish families at their annual reunion held last Saturday.
