Red Barons Celebrate June Dairy Month SCRANTON (Lackawanna Co.) -*• Pennsylvania State Dairy Princess Raechel Kilgore was joined by county dairy princess representing northeastern Penn sylvania at the Lackawanna County Stadium to celebrate June is Dairy Month. Sponsored by the Wyoming- Lackawanna Dairy Princess Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser * Flag Day is today and so I shall hang our big flag in the holder on the front porch. I feel very thankful that my ancestors had the courage to cross the ocean so many years ago. They were some of the very first people in Lancaster County. After ac quiring land and building a house, my ancestor, Hans Adam Shreiner went back to Germany for his family in 1733. Jacob Landis came from Switzerland in 1722 and settled in Lancaster County too. By this time there are 11 generations here in Ameri ca. One of my recent gifts was a box of notepaper. It is something that I appreciate and can use as I write quite a few letters. I’ve also been given several hanging pots for our porch and I am hoping that I can keep them watered this summer. I also got a mandevilla Quiet Operation Redesigned motor provides the quietest operation of any wet/dry vac.

One of our grandchildren was given an assignment in school in which he explained our connec tion with the Landis Valley Mu seum near our home. The broth ers who started the large collection of farm items were dis tant cousins of my mother. And, recently the museum has ac quired a Conestoga wagon that was in my family for more than two centuries. It has been re stored although it was in good condition as it had been “hung” in a wagon shed all of that time. This year my three iris beds were full of flowers and I made five bouquets for my neighbors and relatives. There were only five different colors as it seems as though most of them reverted to simply blue and white.
