Later on forms were up for cellar walls. Then the walls. First five feet or so of rock were dynamited out so that what had looked like a side hill became a level elevation, and now a house was rising. Panels of windows were being fitted into the framework. [Rafters were being laid. I spoke to the workmen up on the roof on how fast the fram- ing had gone up. They laughed and said, “It hasn't seemed fast to us!’ The builder is Donald Bennett of Wilkes-Barre. One of the workmen apparently lives in the “parish” of the Dallas Post. The owners of the ‘house are Andrew and Mar- garet Stelma. Mrs. Stelma' is the former Mar- garet Matti and her people live on a knoll over across the new house. There is to be a picture window. Believe me, that section of the region has pictures fit to be framed in wide front windows. The Weatherlys, a few doors up the road, have binoculars handy by their picture window and spy across the landscape to Bald Mountain where Newton and Mil- waukee snuggle at the foot. In the line of vision the Mt. Zion church points heavenward. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Stelma on their new home created out of rock ledges with gifted imagination. THE VERSITILE PARRY FAMILY WORKS WITH, RUGS BEES AND BEEF Joe and Freda Perry over at Orange are old friends of ours. Joe used to be a prominent -chick- en man. Freda is a craftswoman skills. Rugs, tapes- chair caning, furniture re- finishing all speak of her artistry. Joe and I recalled the picnic we went on once. He drove ahead in | his Ford; we followed. Suddenly his left front wheel spun off and rolled down hill. The axledragged on the ground, ruining the threads. He jacked up the car, slid the wheel on, but had no way | to” keep it there.

I put that] through the cotter-pin hole in the | clasped the pin, and Joe | two miles home with his | pinned on with a Freda says she still | axle, drove front wheel safety pin! has that pin. Well, now their son, Bill, has built a home next door and Bill and his wife Priscilla operate a| bee business. And last Sunday their honey of a child, Margaret Priscilla was baptized at the Orange Methodist church. People Rrmy Announces Novel Program Area youths who contemplate en- listing in the U. S.

Perry of Austin, Texas, has a new baby Mary Ann Perry born Dec. 1. “Jerry” was a little fel- low last time I saw him. Recently Bill went to Florida to inspect his bees. There are about 300 of his hives with bees working for him while it is too cold up here. 1 wonder if his bees that spent the summer near the Mt. Zion church ever tell the Florida bees about our friendly neighbor- hood! The September issue of the American Bee Journal has a photo on the cover of a bee stinging someone's arm, losing its stinger in the process. The magnified bee is about 5 inches long. Inside the magazine is an interesting article by William H. Perry entitled, “An example of commercial beekeep- ing in Northeastern [Pennsyl- vania”. It is well-written and carries cuts showing Perry wuncap- ping combs in his honey house, and a picture with the captain “Unusually fine honey house of the Perry apiaries”., He sums up his article, “Commercial beekeeping is a challenge . . . good stock, young queens, proper equipment, sound management, and constant hard work on the part of the bee-keeper are essentials for keeping bees com- mercially.” Bees and beef go well together, for Bill also raises Angus beef cat- tle. He has recently acquired the DeRemer farm in Vernon where he will expand his cattle interests. Wish you could see this pret- ty sight at the edge of our freezing pond. Low evergreen twigs pretending they are old fashioned makers of candles by the hand dipped method swing down into the fluid water at the pond bank, then up into the freezing breeze, the down into the water and up again. Twigs are coated layer upon layer with crystal fingers. Like cand- le dipping! Sunday our last hymn had words printed on the bulletin, no name signed. We sang it to number 259 in our hymnal “O Master let me walk with Thee.” The words printed fitted well with Bible Sunday. I found out as I expected, that they were written by our pastor, Rev. | William Reid Jr. Here they are, {try them at home! “OQ Thou whose living voice was heard By ancient prophets of Thy way, We thank Thee for Thy Holy ‘Word, Through which Thy love is known today. For words of comfort, joy, and peace | Within Thy sacred Scriptures stored, For hope and pardon and release We praise Thy holy name, O Lord. O write Thy law within each heart; , Keep Thou our lives beneath Thy sway; O may Thy Word to us impart The richest blessing of Thy way. Amen It was a good sized junior choir of ten that sang last Sunday at Mt. Zion under the leadership of Mrs. Michael Hronich. They were as fol- lows: Nadine Van Tuyle, Jackie Van Tuyle, Karen Hronich, Corliss Hur- rey, Susan LaBar, Sharon LaBar, Diane Earl, Dawn Shafer, Linda Shafer, Ernie Hoover. Pastor Reid rode with me to the special Conference in Binghamton. We chatted all the way, talking of sermons, jokes, Methodists, chica- dees and evening grosbeaks. Ruth | and Catherine went along to visit my brother's daughter, Sally Lyon. | From the back seat Ruth reminded me that the more I talked the more | slowly I drove, and please keep iis hands on the wheel!
