Senior citizens take
trip to Arkansas
By GUYNELL KENNEDY
Jo Morgan gave the prayer of
safety before the chartered bus left
Hilltop Baptist Church at 6:30
Tuesday morning, May 19, taking
the 44 Super Seniors and guests on a
four-day trip to Eureka Springs and
Branson
On the bus everyone found a bag
‘‘Don’t Mess With Texas" filled with
Tour instructions and lots of tidbits
including breakfast fixed by
Virginia Davis and Polly Hayes,
consisting of pigs in a blanket and
sweet rolls with orange juice or cof-
fee. Breakfast at dawn started the
"meals on wheels." Think of finger
foods and it was found on the bus at
all times with ice cold drinks
Hubert presented Guynell Ken-
nedy with a zipper bag for being the
only member not to have ever
missed a trip, short or long, and
never missed a meeting of Super
Seniors.
Planned games were enjoyed
throughout the day. and Bro. Bill
Morgan led the Sing-Songs,"
At 5:45 the bus arrived in Eureka
Springs and was greeted w ilh a huge
sign "Welcome Hilltop Baptists"
and each one was give an Arkansas
Apple.
The highlight of the trip was at-
tending the "Great Passion Play"
that evening after a buffet dinner at
the hotel. 200 characters acted out
Our Lord's last week on earth There
was not one whisper among the
4.000 people for two hours The
presentation was a Miracle. It was
staged m Natural Scenery where
replicas of the streets of Jerusalem
were reproduced It is considered
America's No. 1 outdoor drama.
When the group returned to the
hotel. Polly gave the devotion on
faith
After a restful night and a good
breakfast, the group toured Eureka
Springs for a couple hours and going
through the renow ned "Thorncrow n
Chapel" the most beautiful all glass
chapel in the world, non-
denominational, the bus headed for
Branson, Mo
On arrival in Branson, an in-
teresting 60 minutes excursion
cruise on "Table Rock Lake" took
the group through the park to see all
the animals, then into the water for a
circle do-nut whirl when Bro Bill
took control of the wheel; then
through the heart of the Ozark
Mountains country which is
beautiful anytime of the day, and Hie
curves around the hillsides are most
unforgettable sightseeing experien-
ces. *
The ‘ ‘Waltzing Waters ’ ’ was one of
the five in the world and only two in
the U S A. This one was made in
Germany and brought to Branson.
Wednesday night was fun time at
the “Bob-O-Links Country Music”
featuring The Texans Back at the
Inn, Guynell gave the devotion on
' 'The Bible, Book of Authority. ’ ’
Thursday morning after a
leisurely buffet breakfast, the bus
took the group to Mutton Hollow
Craft Village for a morning of
looking, shopping, and just good
fun! That afternoon the group
divided -some resting, some still
shopping
That night the group attended
"The Shepherd of the Hills" play
This was an outdoor theater About
three minutes before the end of the
play, God opened the heavens, and
an out pour of rain came instead of
the reported tornado, but who cared
about the drenching rain and being
soaking wet because one had ail
night long to get dry and ready to
start for Alto Friday a m
After the bus left Branson for
Texas. Bro Bill gave the devotion on
"Joy." The games continued and the
Sing-Song was led by Inez Spears
The best traveller chosen was Gene
Hayes and the worst traveller-who
never said a word nor made a noise,
was Linnie Lanier
So the Meals on Wheels arrived at
6:30 at the Hilltop Baptist Church-
all persons agreeing with the chosen
motto "Never Say No For A Chance
ToGo!"
Those going on the trip were
Hubert and Virginia Davis, Blackie
and Mary McCullough, Gene and
Folly Hayes. Bill and Herland John

Charles and Mollie Middlekauf.

Winter residents keep bees
in milder Texas temperatures
We have several winter residents
to our fair city each year Each
November, several families move
diesel truck loads of bees and hives
to our area to w inter "The w inters
are milder in Texas and it takes less
food to feed the bees," said winter
resident. Raymond Kessel Then
each spring between the middle of
March and the middle of May, the
big trucks are loaded for the return
trip to North Dakota
Each hive produces ap-
proximately 120 pounds of honey,
with each hive consisting of one
queen and approximately 60,000
workers in the peak of the season
The bees are completely oriented
by the sun so w hen they come out of
their individul hives each morning
they circle the hive about two times
and then they are off to their ap
pointed duties Every afternoon,
just before dark, they come back to
their hive for the night, because if
they are out after dark they cannot
find their way back Mr Kessel
states that if you move their hives
after they have gone for the day,
even six feet over, it will lake them
over half of one day to find it. being
so strictly run by orientation
Mr Kessel and Justin Hlibichuk
are summer residents of Belfield,
N D where he sells his honey to in-
dependent dealers His company is
called "Springtime Honey."
Also from Belfield, are our other
winter residents, Kenneth and Bar-
bara Newton and their sons, Ken-
neth Ray and Kelly who live on
Church St. here in Alto They are
the ow ners of New tqn Honey Co
These winter residents say
"Thanks" to area farmers who let
them place their bees anrl hive*; nn
