sakes Gia RR Re POSER Aim TN PEA by Kay Kale Jur Girl Scout Troop 645 _and Cadette Troop 715 recently toured the State Capitol together. After boarding the bus at Gate of Heaven in the early, grey dawn hours, and being fortified by dozens of donuts, the group arrived in Harrisburg where the Capitol dome, designed after the Cathedral of St. Peter in Rome, dominates the skyline. Although remnants of the June flood were evident here and there along the river drive, all the beauty and permanence of the historic Capitol remain intactgand the group entered ‘throu the enormous cast bronze’doors flanked by George Grey Barnard’s sculptures representing Mankind and Brotherhood. The girls and their chap-- erones were conducted on a tour through the massive corridors paved with richly colored mosaic tile designed by Penn- sylvanian Henry Mercer, up the grand marble staircase to the chamber of the House of Repre- sentatjyes. The group, sitting in the Nin gallery, was im- pressed by the contrast of the original gold-leafed chandeliers and dark mahogany desks, each with a corner inkwell used in past decades. A modern system of microphone communication and electronic scoreboards which tally and display repre- sentatives’ votes the moment they are cast has taken the place of these inkwells. It was of particular interest to the Dallas scouts that among the statesmen represented in the murals by Edward Austin Abbey above the marble walls of the representatives’ chambers is George Dallas, a vice president of the United States after whom Dallas, Pa., was named. After visiting the Governor’s reception room and signing the guest registry, the girls left the Capitol building to visit the new William Penn Museum which replaced the old State Museum in 1964. William Penn Museum In the five-story circular museum building the group viewed historic items repre- senting a- span of three cen- turies, Memorial Hall, con- taining such documents as the Charter and First Frame of Government of 1682, is the central feature of the first floor. Period rooms, craft shops and folk art are located in sur- rounding galleries. A special exhibit of posters, cartoons, buttons and slogans from all the Presidential campaigns in the display at the time of the tour. The second floor archaeology and technology areas display modes of transportation from the Conestoga wagon to the space capsule.

A tour of classrooms, displays of arms, gambling devices, dangerous drugs, swimming and exercise rooms was conducted by a State Police corporal who, by coincidence, was a native of Kingston. Of special interest to the girls was that women are now accepted as Pennsylvania State Police and undergo all phases of train- ing -- with the exception of boxing -- along with the men. Hershey Chocolate Factory The Hershey chocolate fac- tory, the world’s largest plant for manufacturing solid chocolate and cocoa products, was the afternoon highlight of the tour. The huge vats of liquid chocolate, the busy machines and conveyor belts handled by skillful men and women, make the packing process a model of speed and efficiency that delighted the visitors as much as the sample famous ‘‘Hershey Bar” received by each scout and leader. Roadside America Between Harrisburg and Allentown on the way home the group stopped at Roadside America, an intricately con- structed miniature village built by the late Lawrence T. Gierin- . ger and now operated by his family. Begun as a young boy’s hobby of building ‘little houses’ and developed through many years of imagination and skillful work, Roadside America now represents a tiny panorama of history including an Indian village, a Gay 90’s village, trolleys, stagecoaches and airplanes, an old grist mill with water wheel, a typical Pennsylvania Dutch farm and a modern village depicting 100 years of American | ‘architec tural styles.’ The Girl Scouts, leaders and their most congenial bus driver noisy enthusiasm of so many scouts because his daughter is a’ Brownie leader, relaxed over dinner at Leiby’s and discussed the events of the day before returning home.
