LONG Charles Long’s annual fishing trip to Canada serves as a balance wheel for his success story in the farm im- plement business. When we first started to collect material for a pen sketch of this serious looking young man of thirty-four, he sounded al- most too good to be true. You can’t go wrong on sizing up a man who likes to fish. Fishermen are real guys. Last year Mr. Long established a precedent by taking Mrs. Long with him, and from now on the annual trip will include the wife. Mr. Long sold her a bill of goods on wilderness life. With her first bite she was a convert, To build up a large farm machin- ery business in the comparatively short time since Long graduated from Nanticoke High School in 1935 has taken some doing, especially as there was no intention at first of founding any such concern. He farmed for his father, McKin- ley Long, for five years after gradu- ation, supplementing his income by selling baby chicks, It was while delivering a crate of peeps at Orangeville that he first met the Massey Harris representa- tive and got to talking with him on the possibility of persuading his father to buy a tractor. That deal consummated, he was approached on selling for the company, an ar- rangement that blossomed into a bona fide agency at the November Farm Show in 1940. With the start of World War II, equipment was difficult to get, and the agency marked time. | With a recently purchased farm on his hands in addition to. the fledgling agency, Long cast around for ways to make ends meet and hit upon running for tax collector. Elected’ for a four-year term in 1942, the new tax collector per- suaded his wife to collaborate with him in the collection of taxes, while he himself bent every effort to run- ning the farm and the agency. Equipment once more available at the end of the war, and farms cry- ing for motorized equipment to take place of war casualties in machin- ery, the agency went to town. New buildings were erected by Bonham Brothers, Hunlocks Creek, and new lines in addition to the original Massey Harris units were taken on. The annual auction of used equip- ment was inaugurated in the sum- mer of 1945, with Howard Sands and M. L. Bunnell as auctioneers, and the Ladies Aid at the Christian Church serving noon lunch. This auction caught on like wild-fire, and has become part of the Back Moun- tain Spring picture, drawing a crowd measured in thousands and successfully cleaning out all traded- in equipment. : Recently Mr. Long added another service to his long string. His new twenty-four hour service, the first among National Farm Equipment Dealers of Pennsylvania, will elimi- nate costly delay for repairs of broken down equipment, and make it possible for a farmer who is up against a deadline in weather to have his tractor repaired while he sleeps, or his truck reconditioned in time for tomorrow's hauling. The original small stock of equip- ment has expanded beyond all rec- ognition. It now includes water sys- tems, garden tractors and chain saws as well as mammoth farm ma- chinery and harvesters that do everything but write the invoices. Nationally known concerns with the Long Farm Machinery Company at their Sweet Valley outlet include the original Massey Harris, with Oliver, New Holland, New Idea, Frick, Iron Age, Mall, and Sim- plicity. Tracing Charles Long’s progress from the cradle to his present posi- tion of prominence as one of the leading business men of the Back Mountain, he was born in Sweet Valley, son of Mr. and Mrs, McKin- ley Long. Educated: at Ross Township schools, he attended Harveys Lake high school for one year before transferring to Nanticoke High. Four years after graduation he married Almira Post, also a native of Sweet Valley. There are three children, two girls and a boy. Gloria Charlene 7, and Dean Alan School. Wilma June, not yet ready for the first grade, will start next September. Both Mr. and Mrs. Long are ac- tive members of Sweet Valley Chris- tian Church. nearly 9, are students at the Mott. It was noon when we started toward “The world’s most wonder- ful spectacle, ever-changing, alive Grand Canyon,” as once described ' SO, The unimpressive ride on routes 93 and 66 to Williams, Arizona, gateway to the Grand Canyon, took about six hours, Lodgings in this small village were almost im- possible to get as there seemed to be more tourists than accommoda- tions. The few that were available were offered at a premium. Prices skyrocketed unbelievably high be- cause of the eleventh hour an- xiety on the part of tourists to get settled for the night. Everyone had the same idea in mind; rest at Williams overnight, and get an early start for the canyon the next morning. The hour's ride to the canyon Put Fruit Trees In Now For Spring Fruit trees are always an asset. They have definite ornamental value when in blossom in the early spring. Later, as the season pro- gresses, they make it possible, by affording shade, to create an out- door living room where tea can be served on a shady terrace or where the members of the family can en- joy an evening meal on warm sum- mer evenings. “Though not fruits, asparagus and rhubarb are also excellent food fare that often are passed over in plan. ning a garden. They are never costly, and once established will last for many years without much at- tention. Any home fruit garden must be planned with care if you are to ob- tain 100 percent results. If your garden is small and space is at a premium, use dwarf fruit trees that require only a small space. It will surprise you how much fruit you will obtain from a dwarf apple tree. Then, too, they usually come into the bearing stage in a much shorter time than larger trees. Green Tomato Men Plan Meeting For Tuesday Members of Carverton Green Tomato Cooperative Association’ will meet at Mountain Grange Tuesday at 8:30 to discuss possibi- lity for erection of sheds to facili- tate packing. Leon Van Tuyle, presi- dent, urges a large attendance. Potato and Tomato Spray Asso- ciation will meet at 7:30, Leon Emanuel presiding. This, says Jim Hutchison, is a loosely knit asso- ciation arranging contracts on an acreage basis for spraying, provi- by John Burroughs, and it is truly | ‘| discovered in the canyon and on {| distinct nations. The nomadic Na- Arnolds Visit Grand Canyon Country was most delightful and refresh- ing; a definite change from the desert lands we had traveled over with a million moods—that is the! the day before, The roads were smooth and wonderful. The lush vegetation and rich, dense forests were a welcome sight. Everything seemed orderly and well kept. I hoped it would continue to be so for the rest of the trip. Several times enroute we took pictures of the deer, either graz- ing nearby or crossing the road. We arrived quite early in order to see the everchanging colors. Walking to the very rim, we gazed over the great vastness, and, speechless with amazement, heard the same word repeated over and over again by people passing by— “Magnificient.” Watching from the South Rim in the morning, when the light slants lengthwise from the Painted Desert, one sees the great capes of the opposite rim suddenly outlined in golden light, against which their shapes loom in hazy blues. Down in the gorge, here and there, stretches of the Colorado River reflect the sun- light. An hour later all is changed, the dark capes are brilliant-hued and well defined. Scores of new temples have emerged from the purple gloom, At midday the opposite walls have flattened and the capes and temples have lost their definite shadows. We were told that just after sunset, the red deepens to dim purples; and the grays and yellows and greens change to mag- ical blues. The great sea of shift- ing rainbow colors are exalting. Words are inadequate to describe the majestic grandeur and breath- taking immensity of the earth’s greatest chasm, which is more than 12 miles wide and 217 miles long, cut by the mighty Colorado River as it rushes to the sea. Over at the Government Obser- vation Station, located on Yavapai Point on the East Rim Drive, the story of Grand Canyon is told by means of telescopes focused on features of interest below, and by specimens and diagrams. A natur- alist is in attendance to assist vis- itors to a better understanding and appreciation of the canyon. We learned that about 500 ruins of an- cient Indian pueblos have been the rims. Cliff dwellings made by these Indians are found along the lower walls of the canyon in many places, especially noteworthy ones being at Clear Creek. " The Indians of the Grand Case yon region today represent four vajo and the pueblo-dwelling Ho- pi live just to the east on. their respective reservations. The Nava- supai, an agricultural people num- bering about 200, live in Navasu Canyon within the park. The Paui- ding service at reasonable cost. tes are found to the north.

We decided to stop at Bright Angel Lodge for lunch. Hotels and lodges at the canyon are under the Fred Harvey man- real estate.

We left the south rim of Grand Canyon believing that what we had seen would exceed anything else we were about to see. But we found out differently shortly after- ward. D. T.
