Slentz, Quarry- • ville. 'Fulton Grange'No. 66 is plan ning to built an addition to its hall -at Oakryn, Little Britain township- At a recent meeting of the Grange trustees and mem-! bers' of the executive and finance committees, plans were started for an addition to be ibmlt to the rear of the hall. Tame was when 1 the hall, acquired hy No. 66 in 1951, was a house of worshirp a Methodist church, then located .a few miles below the State line l in Maryland. Carefully 'dis mantled—with windows, doors and sections intact—it came into the hands of a lumber dealer at Color®, Maryland. The tanlber man sold the knocked-down struc ture to the Oakryn Cornet Band; that was early in 1708- As a band hall—and consequently destined to become the comtaunity_center for musical events, plays, and various types of entertainment bnd public gatherings—it was opened to the public Feb- 8, that year. The news, verbatim, was! “The formal opening of the Oakryn Band Hall Saturday proved to be a pleasant affair. A large number of persons attended. .. Samuel P. Paxson, one of the band’s faithful and oldest members, ■presided at the exercises.” Fitting addresses featured in the pro gram, while “music was fur nished by the Oakryn Comet Band, Little Britain Orchestra, and Robert and Frank Scott.” * The new hall is 36x60 feet, with a Stage 12x36 feet. The structure is well lighted by long windows and has a seating ca pacity of 400, exclusive of the stage; it is outfitted" with chairs A porch, with vestibule remains to be added, which will be done m the near future” Thinking of adding things whether porches, or what-have you’ of a radically different nature —one farmer, living in New Holland section, was sorely put to it to know what to add to a particular hog. That was 75 years ago, and the news, copied from The .Clarion of the com-, munity, presents this amassing “inside” story: “A nearby farmer had a hog that refused to get any heavier no matter what brand of feed was stuffed into the animal. He finally decided he might as well butcher the pig. He dis covered inside the animal 45 nails, 16 fair-sized stones, two hog rings and one key. It seems that the newsman olf 1881 felt that, had the farmer “waited a little longer, he might have been able to stock a hardware store.” ii n H George W- Hensel, one-time venerable hardware merchant of Quarryville, would employ plenty of interest and wit in commenting on stocking a hardware store, were he here today. Mr. Hensel is being brought into the .picture at this point because of a relic or souvenir that was added to his collection of keepsakes, 45 years ago at this time. It, Was a sickle —one with quite a history given to him by Robert B. Risk, of Lancaster (This was Robert B Risk of “Olbserved/and Noted” fame, whose contributions on what be observed and noted were widely read throughout the county, and far beyond—As for the sickle, it came into Mr Risk’s possession along about 1891—a gift of the late John Long, of , Liberty Square. “It was made by Mr. Long's father, James Long, who was one of the last to make them in this country At one time the Long family were celebrated manufacturers, and carried on the business on a large scale, selling the goods through this and other states.” Our own county’s Now Holland Machine Company ranks plenty high among celebrated manufac turers, ihas contributed, and con tinues to contribute a wealth of improved equipment and machin ery indispensible in the farming world. The loss sustained, in the instance of fire ravaging its processing plant on Lancaster County’s .old Fair Grounds, -the Hast of January, is most regret- ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ » 8 Vestibule To Be Added First In Farming i f i‘i e W i? «v - JSV-
