Thoughts

By THOMAS AREHART
Warwick High School
FFA Advisor
The people in Brickerville
could have a surprise
coming their way very
shortly if certain plans are
met. Amazingly, it’s not a
factory, building,
development, or new store.
The “surprise” in this
project is that instead of
adding something new to the
community, it will accent
something that is already
present - in large quantities.
What is “it”? A uniquely
blended combination of
nature, history, and a
community need. Let me
explain.
For a long time the small
What's new
EMERGENCY LIGHT
Revere Chemical Cor
poration recently introduced
SAF-T-LITE, the power light
that automatically goes on
when all electric power fails.
This power light is a
standby emergency light too.
There’s no more frantic
search for flashlights when
you have a SAF-T-LITE
nearby.
Simply plug it into a wall
outlet. At night it casts a soft
glow that tells you it’s
echarging - at the same
,une it functions as a night
ight in bams, dark corridors
and throughout stable
facilities.
When the power fails, this
light switches to full
brightness automatically
Remove it from the outlet
and you’ve got an
emergency hand-lantem to
help you find your way. Will
shine brightly for nearly an
hour before it needs
recharging
community of BrickerviUe
has felt the need for some
form of expansion. Of
course, when you hear the
words expansion you im
mediately think of factories,
houses, and ultimately, over
crowding. This is the old
“forward step, one back step
two” kind of progression.
Some people, and only some,
realize that BrickerviUe is
the center of some historical
data_which should not be so
quickly lost in its
progression. For
there are 15 or more acres
that are owned by the
Lutheran Churches in the
area which were given to
them by a William Penn
Land Grant over 100.. years
ago. Most other forms of
grants have already suc
cumbed to the earUer form
of progression already
mentioned. The famous
Baron Steigel left many tales
to be told in this area and
even our first president,
George Washington, has left
some reminders of how short
a time 200 years can be. How
then, can this area not only
be preserved but also
become somewhat of a
tourist attraction? Ad
mittedly,. it is impossible -
without the help of the
community, the Lutheran
Churches and the Warwick
FFA Chapter.
The Warwick FFA
Chapter would like to build
“The Brickerville Historical
Nature Trail”. This trail will

TRUCK HOIST
Increased stability -

up and down controls are a
few of the advantages
Crysteel Manufacturing
claims for its new Model 655
truck hoist. It is designed
especially for the longer (to
20 foot) truck bodies on
single axle trucks.
The new unit, with a lifting
capacity of 22 tons, operates
off a single hydraulic
cylinder with a lift height of
98 inches and a dump angle
up to 55 degrees. The double
acting, high pressure
cylinder provides power up
and down during dumping
and acts as a hydraulic lock
when the bed is in the down
position. Cylinder bore
diameter is six inches with a
stroke of 27V* inches. The
high tensile chromed shaft is
2V2 inches diameter;
operating pressure is 3250
psi. If required, the eight
piston pump may be ordered
with extra valves. A 12V
electric pump is also
available.
The 655 has Crysteel’s
patented low profile
mounting system This
allows the hoist to nest
within the truck frame, level
with the long beams All the

show visitors the wonders of
nature while presenting
much of the fascinating
historical data of the im
mediate area. The trail is
also designed to show how
forests were maintained and
kept over 200 years ago.
Basically, it takes you as
closely as possible into the
life of the 1700’s or earlier.
With one step you can be in
the forests in which George
Washington and many other
people have walked, while
learning the importance and
spiritual essence that only a
forest can provide.
Most of the hard labor to
create this trail will be
performed by the Warwick
FFA Chapter, but the
chapter would like to see
many other people in on the
actual building of the trail.
As you know, you learn best
while doing.
Most of the work, or
learning, will be done on the
weekends. We have yet to
have the Lutheran Churches
approve the idea and we
could use a little community
spirit from all the
surrounding areas. Not only
are we building a trail, but
we’re helping to build a
stronger, safer, and more
proud community. With a
little bit of luck, backing, and
imagination this trail could
make the little town called
Brickerville a state-wide
tourist attraction. Now that’s
what I call progress.
original frame strength is
retained since no notching is
required. An additional
safety feature is the “wedge
tite” body guide mounting
that holds the truck bed
steady with or without loads.
The far forward mounting
position contributes both
stability and lift capacity to
the hoist.
Cry steel manufactures a
full line of hoists for trucks
and pickups. Capacities
range from three to 29 tons
and all models have
Crysteel’s Lo-Boy mounting
feature.
