Set For Penn State, Lancaster
LANCASTER (Lancaster Co.)
Each year in the United States
there are an estimated 6 to 33
million cases of food-borne ill
nesses that result in an estimated
9,000 deaths. The mishandling of
food causes about 95% of all
food-bome illnesses.
These statistics justify the con
cern that has arisen throughout
our society over the safety of
food. Penn State, The Lancaster
Center, is offering a course in

The STREAM MAP OF PENN
SYLVANIA was completed in 1965
after a thirty-year effort by Howard
Higbee, a former Penn State
Professor.
The map is also known as the
LOST STREAM MAP to some
anglers.
Professor Higbee succeeded in
creating a map of the highest
detail possible...a map that shows
every stream and lake. He
painstakingly plotted by hand, the
location of 45,000 miles of
streams onto a 3 x 5 foot map.
The map sold extremely well -
until It was lost several'years later.
Incredibly, the printer entrusted
with the original drawing and
printing plates declared bank
ruptcy, then carelessly hauled
Highert 30 years of work to a
landfill.
The few remaining dog-eared
copies became a prized fisher
man's possession. Professor
Higbee was offered $4OO for one
of his last maps. And state
agencies were forced to keep their
copies under lock and key.
Experts told Professor Higbee
that reprints were impossible,
because the maps were printed in
non-photographic blue.
Then, in 1991, at the age of 91,
Howard Higbee's dream came
true. Computers made it possible
to reprint the map. Holding an
updated map, Howard said, "I
never thought I'd live to see this
day."

The summer is slipping by
rather quickly. Some leaves on
our big crab apple tree are al
ready turning yellow.
Our daughter and her children
came to visit for several days.
They drove from Atlanta, Geor
gia and it was a long journey by
car. They leave early in the
morning and arrive here late at
night. She
came to at
tend a pic
nic and to
visit her
parents. She
always
comes bear
ing gifts.
This time
she gave
containers
of saffron
and a big
bag of pe
cans. A big
basket of
peaches
from North
Carolina
was a welcome treat too.
Her girls like to go to the farm
and play with the three children
who live there. The cousins have
a tree house in the meadow.
And, they have three dogs and
many cats to play with when
they visit.
One afternoon the children got
me away from canning pickles,
which is a daily job, and we went
to the Lititz Museum. The town
of Lititz was founded in 1756
and during our tour of the Muel
ler House we learned what it was
like to live in a closed Moravian
settlement. Johannes Mueller
was a local tanner and dyer.
Lititz is well known for Linden
Hall School for Girls, the Pretzel
House, and Lititz Springs Park.
General John Sutter, of gold
rush fame, lived and died in this
town. Many of the 18th Century
buildings are still standing on
Main Street. And, I especially
enjoyed the heritage garden be
hind the museum with its water
garden and many flowers. We
had a busy week.
