Included on the tour were glimpses of homelife from the past-rocking washing machines, gas clothes irons and wood stoves. After the Farm Museum a slightly longer journey was made by the joint 4-H Clubs. They boarded a special touring car of the WK&S Railroad for a trip through the valley along the banks of the Ontelaunee to Wanamakers, a small village three and one-half miles north of Kempton. These two clubs were able to share this day together through the initiative of their leaders, Mrs. Mabel Wilson, Philadelphia and Mrs. Barbara Stratton, Kutztown. Mrs. Stratton and Mrs. Willson met two years ago at a 4-H club leadership con ference in Washington, D.C. That summer the Kutztown group sold pizzas to bring the Philadelphia club to Kutz town for a tour of Kutztown State College, lunch at Kutztown Park and a visit to Crystal Cave. The city youngsters also were able to visit an operating dairy farm. The following year the Philadelphia group raised money to bring the Kutztown club to the city for a tour of Philadelphia landmarks. This year again, the ex change trip was funded by a pizza sale. In the future the two clubs hope to continue this event, presenting aspects of city and country life to young 4-H members while they have a fun-filled day also.
