It is the plain duty of ev- ery motorist to exercise the greatest caution during the periods these chil- dren are on the streets. “My appeal is based on the toll of 143 children under 15 years of age kill- ed by motor vehicles duirng the first 7 months of 1928. In the same period de- partment records show 2135 children under 15 were injured, many of them permanently. “Parents have a duty, the import- tance of which cannot be over empha- sized, and that is to teach children to cross the street at the corner, first looking to the left and then to the right for approaching automobiles. Teachers are making valiant efforts in this work, but the bulk of it must be done by parents, who are in a position to demand the respect and obedience of their children. “Let us trace this year’s list of pe- destrian casualties on the highways and streets of Pennsylvania, which wit- nessed the destruction of 199 lives and injuries in varying degrees suffered by 2694 others. “Five persons were killed and sixty- one injured at protected grade cross- ings when they crossed against the sig- nal. Six were killed and 27 injured as they crossed at unprotected corners. “Short cutting the intersection in a diagonal direction cost 125 injuries, but the worst habit of all, that of crossing between intersections in the middle of a block, appearing in the street from behind parked cars along :the curb, collected the heaviest toll. “In seven months, forty-seven per- sons were killed and 790 injured from this one cause, which cannot be laid entirely to the door of the driver, who is not expecting pedestirans to appear suddenly, and who seldom has a chan- ce, due to heavy traffic lanes, to swerve aside and avoid the pedestrian.

TRACTS OF VIRGIN TIMBER YET EXIST Some Trees in Pennsylvania Were Growing Before Col. umbus Arrived. The forest primeval immortalized by Longfellow in “Evangeline,” is no long- er present in Pennsylvania, but scatter- ed throughout the state are numerous tracts of virgin forest whick are still standing. Officials of the Pennsylvania De- partment of Forests and Waters, in pointing out that there may be found in the state today only a few examples of the virgin forest that once covered practically all of the mountains and valleys of the Keystone State called at- tention to the following areas where big timber may be seen to advantage: The Snyder-Middleswarth State For- est Park—This is the largest body of original growth big timber in the state forests of Pennsylvania. It comprises 425 acres of original hemlock, pine, and hardwoods, mostly virgin timber. Two hundred and fifty acres have never been touched with an axe. The park is provided with camping facilities and is visited by thousands of tourists annu- ally. It is located in the Bald Eagle State Forest about five miles west of Troxelville, Snyder county. Detwiler Run State Forest Monu- ment—This tract of fifty acres com- prises a tangle of giant original forest trees, mostly white pine and hemlock, with an understory of almost impen- etrable rhododendron. Students of the early forest conditions declare that it pictures very truly the primeval for- est conditions of the state. This forest monument is located at the headwaters of the Detwiler Run, Huntingdon coun- ty, on the Logan State Forest. Alan Seegar State Forest Monument —Within this monument are hemlock trees of unusual size and beauty—un- doubtedly some of them growing when Columbus discovered America—and there are stands of oak that have no superior in the state. Magnificent growth of rhododen- drons, some with stems forty feet high border the streams that pass through this area of 155 acres along the, Stone creek in Huntingdon county. It is ac- cessible over good roads from Altoona or Huntingdon by way of McAlvey’s Fort; from State College by way of Bear Meadows, and from. Milroy and Reedsville. Joyce Kilmer State Forest Monu- ment—Comprises about 21 acres of old hemlock, a few white pine and many mature hardwoods, situated on the north slope and top of rugged White Mountain, Union county, in the Bald Eagle State Forest. To see this tim- ber close at hand one must be a real mountain climber. A splendid view of it can be seen from passing trains at Paddy Mountain Station on the Penn- sylvania Railroad. McConnell's Narrows State Forest Monument—Contains some of the most magnificent rock scenery in Pennsyl- ania as well as stands of original hem- lock and white pine. Colonel Henry W. Shoemaker of the State Forest Com- mission states that the “rocks are of collossal proportion, some standing er- ect like chimneys, and among these gi- ant boulders are vast fissures and en- ormous subterranean caverns, in which the wild animals find shelter and seek refuge. The giant rugged trees present a beautiful silhoutte against the sky. It is a picture that once seen will nev- er be forgotten. The area is one the south slope of White Mountain, Union county, opposite Cherry Run Station. It may be reached over the road thru Laurelton and Welkert, which branch- es off the Lewistown-Bellefonte State Highway one and one half miles west of Hartleton. Mount Logan State Forest Monu— ment—Covers forty-seven acres on Mt. Logan, Clinton county. The inaccessi- bility of these giant trees saved them form the lumberman’s axe. Less than one mile from Youngdale Station (Mec- Elhatten) on the New York Central Railroad, is an excellent trail leading to the top of Mt. Logan. Martin's Hill State Forest Monument —Comprises nine acres of old original hemlocks within a gorge of one of the highest mountains in Southern Penn- sylvania. These hemlocks were preser- ved largely through the efforts of Cap. J. G. Dillin, of Media, who lumbered over these mountains thirty years ago. The Martin's Hill Monument is 3075 feet above sea level. On its summit is one of the forest fire observation tow- ers of the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters, from which may be had a magnificent view of the sur- rounding forest. The monument may be reached from Bedford by way of Rainsburg, thence over six miles of i road in the Buchanan State for- est. Colonel R. B.
