PENNSYLVANIA was completed in 1965 after a thirty-year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor The map sold extremely well— until it was lost several years later Incredibly, the printer entrusted with the original drawing and pnntmg plates declared bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbee’s years of work to a landfill Experts told Professor Higbee that reprints were impossible, because the maps were printed in non photographic blue The few remaining copies became prized fisherman’s possessions, known to some as the “Lost Stream Map ” Higbee was offered $4OO for one of his last maps Then, in 1991, at the age of 91, Howard Higbee's dream came true Karl Ings and Larry Seaman of Vivid Publishing, Inc, a Williamsport firm, found new technology that enabled them to reproduce and republish the map Howard said, “I never thought I’d live to see this day ” Before his death in 1993, Professor Higbee shared his knowledge of map making with Seaman and Ings, and supported the creation of new state stream maps Stream maps now cover 18 states, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Maryland-Delaware, New Jersey, Northeiji California, Washington, Colorado, Wisconsin, Virginia, Missouri and 5 New England States All 50 states will be available by the end of 2003 PER MAP Stream Maps £ ofPennsylvaiapwYork New England, New Jersey, Ohio, k Maryland/Delaware Why every angler and boater needs these maps It is estimated that 10% of all the anglers catch 90% of the fish Regardless of which group von fall into...there's a sure wav lo up sour odds, simplv lr\ new fishing walei s Non. with this map sou ran find hidden streams and lakes Prnnsvlsama.

At first, some of the oldtimers were dubious of the switch from the Incredible hy brid, but after tasting it, they agreed it was tender, sweet, and scrumptious exactly what is desired in an ear of corn. Some of the women such as Turie Alwine had brought along her specialty-designed “corn bowl,” a wooden box that held a plastic bowl in position, and had a com creamer/cutter on top. Gib Knepp, who had designed and made the box, was at the event also. He rebuffed praise of his in vention. He said, “The laziest, dumbest people always find an easier way to do things because they don’t want to work hard.” His remarks garnered laugh- FREE EH IPR mi SAVE $6.00 FREE GUIDEBOOK WITH ALL MAPS Pinpoint the best fishing in PA, OH and NY with this valuable guide Easily locate streams and lakes shown on the Stream Map both alphabetically and geographically Your map and guidebook will take you to the select fishing waters r 1 | ORDER YOUR COLOR STREAM MAPS j Available rolled or folded ALSO AVAILABLE in heavy gauge LIFETIME | GUARANTEED, glass-like dear-lamination, write-on wipe-off surface, j with brass eyelets for easy hanging J State Stream Map 1 OLD PRICE ROLLED FOLDED LAMINATED nc ftoc nc g»c nc fG^v !

The’ wood-fired cooker couldn’t keep up with the speed of the buskers, and the cutters were periodically left with noth ing to do. That gave Turie the idea to take a ride in a 4-wheeler with 9-year-old Taylor. “I never did it before. It was fun,” the 84-year-old said. Coffee, tea, water, cookies, and other tasty tidbits were available for coffee breaks. People could help themselves to an ear of corn throughout the morning. At noon, burgers were placed on the grill, and a variety of food was served. When the task was completed about noon, participants took corn along home with them, and some was frozen for later distri bution. Sadie Beiler said, “We get a lot done, but no one has to work hard because there’re so many of us ” 84-year-old Turie her first four wheeler ride. .’7, Craig Yoder samples an ear of Honey Select.
