We were rather intrigued with the name of the place and were informed that in the early years the buffalo used to shed their winter hair in the area which then adhered to the trees, etc., giving the place its name.

The fire was only 2 to 3 miles south of here and south east of the hamlet of Cadmus in old Cartwright Township. (Cadmus, for the benefit of those whose gee-ography is not up to snuff, is an eastern suburb of Blackstock - or visa versa). You have no idea how annoying it is to have an ember fall on your tummy while sunning beside the pool, or fishing a chunk of charcoal out of your light and bubbly. (Tough life we live when we semi-retire). This week at Malconia, we discovered a new hard way to put the 'groceries' on the table. One of Nikki's bones, hidden in the forest and primeval outside our humble domicate, was caught by the power lawnmower and tossed right through the aluminum and glass door on- to the kitchen table, along with a million or so tiny glass pieces. Luckily no one was in that area at the time. Mr. Murray Malcolm assures us that he saw a real live bear (4 legged - not two) amble across their yard this week and disappearing in the corn field.

Following the service, a bountiful pot luck buffet din- ner was provided by the ladies for all present. At the conclusion of same, Mr. Art Rowan, on behalf of the local congregation ably expressed our regrets at Stan and Shirley leaving and the ap- preciation of the commun- ity for the active role he has played during his brief tenure.

The Harvey Malcolms ac- companied the Howard Malcolms on Friday evening to Toronto to see the stage production of 'Same Time Next Year", starring Don Herron, (better known as his alias 'Charlie Farquenson') and Catherine McKinnon at the Bayview Theatre. It was also our first opportunity to try out the Pork Producers own restaurant, "The Pork Place", on King Street, where an all pork menu is available. We heartily recommend their food - the spare ribs were supeg delicious and the roast leg of pork likewise. Next time you are down near the Royal Alex drop in and support your own farm enterprise.
