The metric system is here to stay! The younger gener- ation will grow up learning the system step by step as school progresses. We older people will have to adjust to new ideas. Mrs. A. McMillan prepared a paper on Metric conversion that was present- ed by Mrs. F, Innes at the Greenbank Women's Insti- tute, August 18th meeting. Ladies, do you know that if you are a size 16 (36-27-38) you will change to 91-68-96 centimeters. Instead of ask- ing for a size 10 pattern it will be 38. .

PORT PERRY STAR -- Thursday, Sept. 9, 1976 -- 19 The life of a bee-keeper (continued says Sharpe. But sometimes it can't be avoided. Like the time a hive split open in the back of a truck. The hive, 1,200 bees and a queen purchased by Sharpe and transported her from southern "California, are shipped in a screened cage. And after travelling thousands of miles by plane, train and truck, the bees are "in a kind of a nasty mood from all that bouncing." In this case, he dropped the hive and it split, with hund- reds of bees escaping. He reached over and pulled the hive together, but not before collecting more than 250 stings. "I staggered around for two days," Charles recalls. Most of the time, however, the odd sting or two is the result of carelessness or an accident. Accidently step on a bee or squash one while handling the hive, and the injured - send out an alarm. iserable weather can put the industrious insects in a bad mood, and some hives are just plain ugly. Mr. Sharpe has one hive away from the rest, on the opposite end of the yard. ' - "They're nasty," he explain- ed. "Who knows why." But bees, according to Charles, do much better than many other species---even mad. "Unlike Man, they live in harmony with nature" said Sharpe. "Who says they're not intelligent.?"
