-  $ees Frenzied ‘Bee' Activity

BY BERT GREEN

Unbounded energy was. ex-

¢ pended by a large number of
‘parishoners of St. Stephen’s
Church, Mount Newton. Cross
Road, on Saturday, when there
was a concerted effort to clear
the Rectory gardens and glebe

lands which over the years had
become a tangled growth of
unchecked density.

The male element assisted by
volunteers of St. Mary’s church
were fortified. by coffee and
refreshments prepared by the
Anglican Church: Women in. the

Parish Hall. Children abounded,
and the scene was watched with
obvious excitement. by. an
amazing collection of dogs.
temporarily impounded in the
workers’ cars;

The precincts of the century-
old church can rarely have seen
such frenzied activity of a work
“‘bee’’: elderly men wielded axes
and mattocks in: ditches, while
others grubbed roots from the
soil, keeping a wary eye on the
manoeuvers of a bulldozer
operating sporadically in the
near vicinity.

Bonfires were everywhere, and
included what must be the largest
dump of combustible material

‘collected inone heap in living

memory. A. pall of smoke
overhung the valley.as the Rev.
Ivan Futter, director of.
operations, added materially. to
its density with his pipe.

Down in the cemetery ‘action
was slower but none the less
thorough as graves were freed of
disordered vegetation, loads of
leaves were removed and the
whole area around the. church
assumed a cared-for aspect.

Later in the morning the ladies
decorated the church for Harvest
Festival. the following day,
assisted by several children who

worked as apple polishers, the

youngest three years old.
