C. Wildlife Resource* Commission "And my dear, her family came from a polluted pond!" Some of my news this week will be kind of out of date for as you know Gentle Readers, I failed to get a column out last week and 1 will have to catch up this week. There was sudden bereavement in the community at the last of the week. These folks were near and dear to us, and Minnie and I did everything we could to bring com fort and solace to them, the dead line had me before Iknew it. Yes, George Pressley passed away suddenly Saturday afternoon, April 23. Through many years of close association we loved him dearly. We visited- in his home more than anywhere else around here. One goes where they always find the warm glow of sincere friendship. George has been our friend since earliest childhood. All this week I have been remembering one morning when I was a little fellow 1 was awakened from cozy slumber about three o’clock by the the rattle of a Thornhill wagon, the clop-clop of horses’ hooves, and a fine tenor voice singing an old fashioned love song. It was George going some place in the early dawn to do a day’s work. He has spent a lifetime of honest toil; he has sacrificed greatly for his loved ones. He had planted his potatoes a few days before he we nt away. He went as I am sure he would like to go, working in his yard with a tool of labor in his hands. An BEE TREE NEWS By Mrs. C. M.
