Giants Despair
Hill Climb |
When the automobile was
first invented, many area
residents raced cars against
horses to see which was faster.
Such contests may be ridiculous
now, but it seems that hor-
seracing tracks haven’t seen
the end of racing cars yet. An
added attraction to spectatora
at Pocono Downs July 25 at 7:30
p.m. will be a squadron of race
cars touring the oval. The cars
are entered in the Giant’s
Despair Hill Climb which will
begin with time trails July 26
and hold record runs Sunday.
Following the squadron’s intro-
duction by the track announcer,
the drivers will wheel out their
machines to circle the five-
eighths mile race course and
park a display ramp to be
inspected by the fans.
The Hill Climb, Wyoming
Valley’s most famous and
distinctive automotive event,
raced on the wellknown Giant’s
Despair Hill in Laurel Run, is
sponsored by the Wilkes-Barre
Junior Chamber of Commerce
and the Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania Division of the Sports Car
Club of America. It is the oldest
and most famous of its kind in
Eastern United States, annually
attracting thousands of spec-
tators who line the course to
cheer on skilled drivers deter-
mined to "Conquer the Giant”
for a shige of the honors.

DID YOU KNOW—Greenwood
Furnace, another item of his-
torical significance in the Roth-
rock State Forest, was one of
the last charcoal furnaces to be
operated in Pennsylvania. It
began operations in 1833, and
the final blast was blown on
Dec. 7, 1904. The old stack, re-
built in 1935, stands today as a
historic landmark. (Dept. of

Pettit family
~ goes on tour
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne G. Pettit
and their sons, Mark, David and
Matthew, have returned home
to 47 E. Franklin St., Shaver-
town, after a tour in Canada and
New York State.
The Pettit family toured the
Thousand Islands, Ontario,
Canada, and visited the Boldt
Castle which rises above the
waters of the St. Lawrence
River and comprises just one of
the islands. They proceeded
north to Quebec, where all road
signs are in French. They soon
learned that east is ‘“‘est”” and
west is “‘questq.”
They then traveled from
Quebec to New York State and
Lake George. There they visited
Frontier Town, a complete
authentic Western town with
bad men and sheriff. They took
a stagecoach ride and were sur-
prised when they were held up
by masked bandits.
They went on to Story Town,
U.S.A. There they walked
through Jungleland, Ghosttown,
the Dream World of Alice in
Wonderland, and the Land of
Make-Believe (Mother Goose
Land). There they saw all the
forgotten fairy tales and
legends of Mother Goose come
true.
Mr. and Mrs. Pettit feel that
their trip was truly an exper-
ience and a wonder, as much for
them as for their children.

peach harvest
time arrives
It is fresh peach time,
reminds C. Marshall Ritter,
extension pomologist at The
Pennsylvania State University.
If you like tasty, sweet, ripe
peaches, leave them on the tree
as long as possible. Be on the
lookout for heavy fruit drop-
ping. At this time, peaches are
usually well ripened but not too
soft. Peaches ripened in this
manner are tasty and in prime
conditions for canning,
freezing, preserving, and pies.
