May Be Oldest Living Thing For many years, most experts considered the giant Sequoias of California to hold claim to that title. Then, a few years ago, botanists estimated that the gnarled bristle- cone pine which lives high atop the Sierra Nevadas was still older, but ever since 1846 a small group of scientists have hazarded the opinion that the oldest living thing may well be a lowly, unspectacular plant® discovered in Pennsylvania called the box huckleberry. The age of one colony, located near New Bloomfield in Perry Coun- ty, has been estimated at 13,000 years! A four-acre colony of the plant is now preserved by the state Depart- { ment of Forests and Waters for its unique botanical interest. The box huckleberry is a low shrub with creeping stems. It has white and pink flowers and bears blue berries in July and August. The state - owned huckleberry colony is located on a dirt road a half mile south of New Bloomfield on State Route 34.

When Mr. and Mrs. Luther Greg- ory were married in 1953, they mot- ored, as a wedding trip, to 'the far west, a trip of some 6,000 miles. Starting August 1 they outdid them- selves, and fulfilled a long-time plan of Mr. Gregory of going to Alaska by car. The car was actually a truck al- tered by Luther and his brother Rich- ard for Wyoming hunting trips, so as | to provide a shelter on wheels. Hang- ing on the back of the house on wheels was g fifteen foot trailer. The adventuring family entered Canada by way of North Dakota, after starting morth through Chicago | and the Lake States. From Pennsyl- vania to the Canadian border, they lived in ‘trailer camps. After that, they lived at camping grounds. Camping out is the popular way to travel in Canada, Mrs. Gregory noted, but is not much in the mode in our country, except in Alaska. The most striking part of the jour- ney, she thought, was the panorama of mountains in the Pacific North- west. Since a great deal of the trip was spent wrestling with the road SECTION B-— PAGE 1 Fulfill part was the best part. In Alaska the Gregory family en- countered rain every day in some a- mount or other. It was fall there much earlier than here in the Back Mountain. But the summers end so quickly in the north country, said Mrs. Gregory, that there are none of the beautiful colored leaf patterns in landscapes that there are here. Getting their bearings and supplies at Fairbanks, a good-sized city, the couple then camped for a week at the base of Mt. McKinley, the highest peak in North America, while Luther went caribou-hunting. ? Then they traveled down to An- chorage and the Kenai peninsula, where recent oil discoveries have been made. In the small towns along the sea the Gregorys encountered the highest area of Alaska--prices. Cheeseburgers in no-place-in-particu lar cost .95, a Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich $1.10. But the food prices were small matter, since they cooked out a lot. The best part of the trip was the cheapest, and the two adventurers took lots of pictures to preserve it. They returned to Trucksville Tues- day, ‘September 25, in time for the colorfull fall here. Mr. Gregory is em- ployed by Wyoming Valley Equip- ment Company. 7 with ernlete information Shavertown Investing in STOCKS?
