Then later when things are smooth and serene We'll bring the real principal into the scene” “Wonderful, marvelous” with grace, We'll get rid of McHose and still save my face”. says Harry “Splendid, superb, it's a real master stroke” Says Eugene with emotion as his voice starts to choke, And Henry, a smile at the praise of «his plot Was pleased with himself at what he had thought, Now we'll announce it without fur- ther delay In order to get the plan underway So in due course the announcement was made To the unsuspecting public they hoped | and they prayed. Peaches All but twelve counties in Pennsyl- vania produced peaches last year. Franklin, Adams and York counties, however, grew over half of the State's total crop which amounted to 442,000 bushels, But, alas for conceived By the public of Dallas was not well received. Instead of the praise and the joyous acclaim They found that the people were wise to their game, the plan they so well So loud was the roar that for miles around People gathered and wondered at what was abound. And the children for many a year will sing Of how the welkin around Dallas did ring, With just resentment and honest comment At the injustice to a man with whom we're content. This action has given Dallas great fame For having a beard without any shame. ‘Which cares not a damn for majority rule But want you to know who's running the school. Principal and principles to them are as naught ‘When it's so easy for men to be bought. What care they for honest intent With thoughts of power their minds are bent Political power and ambitious quest Have led many a man to forget what is best. But listen, dear sirs, too far have gone When you miss the difference twixt what's right and wrong; The citizens whose trust you've sorely abused Wish to inform you they're not amused | And will not tolerate such actions long Gentlemen, you've sung a pretty swan k song, you 44% Conferences | | | During the last thirty days 447 con- | ferences were held at various child health centers supervised by the Penn- sylvania State Department of Health, |according to Dr. Edith MacBride-Dex- | ter, Secretary of Health.

Suits of such nature are pending in Carbon, Jefferson and Berks counties, At Mauch Chunk, one man has been held for court in default of $5,000 bail. George H. Wirt, chief of the division of forest protection, Department of Forests and Waters, today praised the vigilance of the forest fire wardens, and blamed the notorious “firebug” as responsible for much of the damage done to Pennsylvania's forests each year. “A ‘firebug’ is a person who inten- tionally or maliciously sets fire to the forest floor, either with the misguided idea that brush burning has some econ- omic value to certain crops, or because he is mentally perverted and receives some sort of physical reaction to see- ing a fire burn,’ said Wirt. “This type of person is most dan- gerous to forests,” continued Wirt, “and during the fire season causes more fires than any other form of in- cendiarism. “If the respective county law enforce- {ment agencies back us in our fight to | convict these [them have, the resultant ten years in [prison or $5,000 fine will discourage a [lot of people from [these disastrous conflagrations in our ‘firebugs’, as most of wilfully starting forests.” Contestants Feted (Continued from Page 1.)

During those early times, little at- tention was paid to the amount of land in a tract, and the indenture describes the parcel of land as beginning at a certain white oak “now in the tenure of John Wood over against the falls of the Delaware River” to a corner marked “spruce tree” thence northwest to a “white oak” standing by the Indian path” that led to an Indian town called Playwicky, near the head of Tenosiss- nick Creek. Various other descriptions of the tract are given but total acreage is mot shown. . Little Money Land prices in those days brought little in the way of actual cash and notes, mortgages and other documen- tary papers did not enter into trans- actions. The deed, dated June 15, 1682, shows that the purchase price included “three hundred and fifty fathoms of wampam, twenty white blankets, twen- ty fathoms of strawd waters, sixty fa- thoms of daffidels, twenty kettles fower whereof large, twenty gunns, twenty coates, forty shirts, forty payre of stockings, forty howes, forty axes, two barrells of powder, two hundred barrells of lead, two hundred knives, two hundred glasses, twelve pyre of shooes, forty copper boxes, forty to- bacco tonngs, two small barrell of pipes, forty payre siissors, forty combs, twenty fower pounds of red lead, one hundred aules, two handfulls of fish hooks, two handfulls of needles, forty pounds of shot, tenne bundles of beads, tenne small sawes, twelve drawing knives, fower anchors of tobacco, two two anchors of beere and three hundred gliders.” “Short Changed” Apparently the Indians, in taking ac- count of stock after the transaction, discovered that they had been “short changed” to the extent of ten guns, be- cause to the original deed, dated Au- gust 1, 1682, was made showing that the Indians “doe now acknowledge that the receiipt of the saide tenne guns.” The section appended also points out the kind of ‘“wampam’” had not been originally set forth and that after a lapse of two weeks, the Indians had de- cided to accept “one half whyte wam- pam and the other hayfe black wam- pam.” Wampam was used between the In- dians and early settlers as money for trading purposes. Wampam consisted of beads made of shells, and in addi- tion to being used as money, also served as ceremonial pledges and orna- ments, There were two kinds of wam- pam, black and white, and the ‘white had only half the value of the black. The deed is signed with the marks of a half-dozen Indian chieftains and by William Markham, who was Penn's de- puty governor. Written on heavy parchment, the document is well pre- served and has created considerable in- terest among visitors to the Depart- ment of Internal Affairs.
