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.

YOU KNOW ME
BY
Al, Himself
: a
We like church people. 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.
Of course it is a money making
scheme, but you will get your

money’s worth when you attend.
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
