THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1961
/
Mount Zion -:- Carverton -:- Orange
PICTURES EVERYWHERE
Across from Dave Perry’s awhile
Yack I saw bulldozers at work in
the steep roadside bank. 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. In my tool box
| 1 fished out a large safety pin of |
the blanket type. I put that]
through the cotter-pin hole in the |

has that pin.
Well, now their son, Bill, has
built a home next door and Bill

around here will be interested to
know that the youngest of ‘Joe
and, Freda’s children, Dr. Jerome
J. 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!

on us after getting word from their |
