Notebook
Ida Risser
Not too long ago, my
husband and I started out to
see a fair in central Penn
sylvania. We were rather
disappointed as there were
so many barkers and paid
amusements and the food
and clothing displays were
“crowded” mto a small
area.
The animals that caught
my eye were the goats. They
were of all sizes and colors
and were quite friendly. As
my husband had planned
other things for the trip, we
moved on
Several times we’d
planned to visit a coal mine
but didn’t amve on the right
day or at the nght tune. This
time we accomplished both.
It was interesting to hear
about the methods used for
mining m the early days
compared to present day
machinery
But believe me, I’d pick
farming any day instead of
mining in a dark hole in the
earth where one works in
cramped quarters
I happened to spy
something called an “in
clined plane” at Johnstown
and we decided to in
vestigate it It was billed as
an elevator on wheels and
could carry cars and people
up the mountain from the
valley The view of the town
nestled in the crevices of the
Allegheny Mountains in
Cambria County is
awesome This town has had
22 floods and lost 4000 people
in the May 31,1889 flood
We also spent some time at

pleasant place to wile away
a few hours with the breeze
from the lake to cool us

through State College on our
way home and visited one of
our older sons who works m
a research laboratory there
He was surprised to see us
