HOW ARE YOU FIXED
FOR BEES?

THE ELMER TWITCHELLS had
l quite a time with a piece Of
census mail that arrived yesterday.
They can take questions In their
stride like most folks, but the ones
In this census form baffled them.
The first question Elmer noticed
was this:
Were any bees owned by you in
1892"
This was a new one. Nobody
had ever asked Elmer that before
by mail, phone, letter or personal
call. He hesitated to answer too
quickly. He remembered seeing
some bees in the summer of 1949.
Could there be guilt by association?
Ibid you see any bees in
1892" he asked the wife.
ANY what?"
"Bees you know ...

"No! 1949 was u wasp

I'm not kidding" Elmer In
sisted. This is a census blank.
Lookl 1t also asks If we owned
bees, how many?"
Reading from left to right or
vertical?" asked Mrs. Twitchell.
"And it asks how many hives
did we have and what we made
from honey and wax?"
IT can't recall any honey in the
last fiscal year but I'm not sure
about wax. The governmen
shouldn't bring up a matter like
wax so abruptly. Just say no and
tell 'em we are the hornet type"
"How about ewes?" asked
Elmer.

the wife.

at asks here II we had any
rams or wethers around"
pressed Elmer.
II couldn't be sure. This neigh
borhood is getting less and less re-
stricted," said the wife.
Ibid we own any rabbits, goats,
geese, ducks or pigeons?"

first quarter. I didn't know Wash

"What about profits from nuts,

IT made a killing in chicory. But
the escarole was in your name,"
said the wife.
