It stayed some time, walking back and forth, coming near but did not touch it.

Group Travels to Buckhorn Art Festival A number from our community community attended the Buck- horn Wildlife Art Festival last weekend. It is always a pleasure to view the latest works of art dealing with wildlife by such a variety of renowned artists including Ken Huxley, Jim Majury, Alfred Chau, Michael Dumas Dumas and some 100 others, some well known and others amateur artists. Each appears appears to have their own individual individual style and what turns one person on doesn't always always appeal to others as to be expected. As well as paintings there were also a few booths of wood carvings and ceramics. ceramics.

Never a quiet moment when you get these six Malcolms together. Quite a pleasant evening. As indicated it was our pleasure to represent Man- vers Twsp. at this Convention. Convention. Mr. Dennis Sweeting, Reeve of Lindsay and Warden Warden of Victoria, did an excellent excellent job of re-enacting the first gathering of A.M.O. whose 90th anniversary of its founding was being observed. observed. In fact he did such a good job, you'd almost be led to believe that he was present at the original event (Sorry Dennis). Among the special events was the presence presence of Donald Blenxarn M.P. for Mississauga South, Chairman of the House of. Commons Standing Committee Committee on Finance. Although he made a very good presentation presentation of the Conservative Govt, plan to enact a 9% Federal Sales Tax to replace the current undercover 13% tax now in place, his verbal pitch was not received with much enthusiasm.

Roger Swan Auto Centre R.R.#6 Bowmanville 683-2906 Hobnobbing With Harvey Oh where, oh where, has our summer gone? Here it is the mid-August and already summer appears appears to be half shot. All those unmistakeable signs of approaching Autumn are surfacing already. The hot, humid days suddenly turn quite cool with the arrival of sunset. Probably due to the earlier drought, those fields of corn that encompass us and hold us hostage, have already begun to rustle in the breezes. The barn swallows which appeared to have vacated the premiese, reappeared in large numbers when we mowed the lawn following the recent downpour. They speed along a few feet from the earth at incredible speeds in pursuit of their winged appetizers, zigging and zagginng, missing the tractor mower by a hair, and playing chicken with its operator. operator. The swallows are second only to the hummingbirds, in our opinion, in their flying flying skills. Our Malconia hummingbirds have been extremely extremely active lately. They zoom and dart at the speed of Superman from hither and yon in a continuous game of tag only pausing long enough to get "gassed up" at one of our three liquid sugar and water filling stations. stations. A pair of goldfinch dropped in as if checking to see if winter feed handouts have started yet. The robins have disappeared, at least Our People Moke the Difference Goliger's Travel SINCE 1955 • Airline tickets at airport prices • Unbiased prolessional advice • Personal service • Free ticket delivery • Cruise desk • Holiday vacations • Group travel division • Corporate rates Bowmanville Mall 243 King St. E. 623-1511 temporarily, with their last edition of kids.

The tomato patches that once looked like a batch of green golf balls, now has rosy cheeks that overnight become luscious mouthwatering mouthwatering tomatoes. However, However, hidden among these beauties lurk the jolly green monsters - the tomato worms. On our latest inspection inspection we picked off a couple of dozen of those creeply, crawly creatures, varying in size from itsy-bitsy ones to jolly green giants tne size of small weiners. If left alone, they can defoliate the patch in a few days and then have a tossed salad including the tomatoes themselves for a bedtime snack. The second edition of sweet com is now ready for consumption. The honey and cream is mouth-wateringly delicious when smothered with butter. Yes sir, autumn is just around the corner.
