they all had had wonderful time.
The ladies attending for the first

The County Party on Monday
evening started the week off in
high spirits as the Recreation

Mrs, Walter Hall and Mrs. Dorsey

Here is bee story we wager
you cannot top. When painters
started work on the roof last week
they were run away by angry bees.
Investigation showed that the bees
had hived in an unused kitchen
chimney. The chimney had been
sealed several years ago, but two
small holes afforded ingress and
egress, and what we had thought
to be water spots on paper on the
kitchen wall proved to be honey.
The problem now is-will it be
possible to insert a spigot and
serve honey from the chimney?
