4-H Club
The last meeting of the North
Mountain 4-H Club was Feb. 26
at the Water-Works Fire Hall.
Some of the members of the
club went bowling at the Palmy
ra Recreation Center Feb. 10
from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. About 25
members and their parents were
present. There were also snacks
that members of the club
brought.
In response to sending out
Valentines to the veterans at the
Veterans Hospital in Lebanon, a
letter was sent to the club as a
“thank you” from the people at
the hospital.
Emily Whitmoyer suggested
the idea of asking kids to bring in
food items for the Ronald
McDonald House as a way of
getting into the Valentine’s Day
dance at Northern Lebanon. Her
idea worked, and she brought in
six boxes of food items.
The club would also like to
congratulate Andrea Jones from
the Latigo Club for receiving a
certificate from the Ronald
McDonald House. The Latigo
Club also collected food.

Notebook

Recently, we took advantage
of Charter Day when historical
sites, administered by Pennsylva
nia Historical and Museum
Commission, were open for free.
When I mentioned to my hus
band that the Joseph Priestley
House in Northumberland was
open, he was interested in find
ing it. And he has lots of maps on
hand, he quickly said that he
knew where it was located.
So, we asked another couple
and drove north of Selinsgrove to
the 1795 house. The Priestley
house was built to be both stylish
and grand. It stands beside the
Susquehanna River, and there
was a small village nearby in the
1700 s. His wife died shortly after
he arrived from London with his
family.
Joseph Priestley is credited
with the discovery of oxygen,
and he wrote more than 30 scien
tific papers. The air we breathe is
made up of many gases. Carbon
monoxide was one of his discov
eries. A retired chemistry teacher

portrayed Priestley and per
formed many experiments for
the visitors.
Priestley also was a theologian
and wrote a dozen religious
works. He held services in his
home and helped to start the
Unitarian Church in America.
His home was furnished with pe
riod pieces of furniture. He was a
man ahead of his time.
Of the 27 museums in Penn
sylvania, we have only visited
seven of them. It usually takes
time to plan a trip, but these
places cover everything from
lumber to iron and from oil to
battlefields. There is a big differ
ence between Daniel Boone’s
homestead and Pennsbury
Manor where the Penns lived.
And the Cornwall Iron furnace is
nothing like the Ephrata Clois
ters, but they all have their inter
esting points. So, maybe this
summer you could take a day
trip to one of these places near
your home:
