facing Mr. Duke across the
negotiating table this year,
attended the meeting to

the district. He claims the

to discuss Mr. Greider’s
request, on the grounds that
negotiations must be held
privately.

request to Mr. Duke's
negotiating committee.
Besides Mr. Duke, the
committee consists of school
board members Dr. Robert

Meckley, and administra-
tors Donald Drenner, John
Sauter, Woodrow Sites and

intendent Ragner Hallgren

Mrs. Anna Powers of Marietta has a 100 year-old fern in her living room. The plant has
been green and healthy since it was purchased from Campbell's Greenhouse a century
ago. (The greenhouse was located in Marietta near the beginning of the Maytown
Pike .( Every few months, Mrs. Powers cuts back the fern, but it just keeps growing.
Photo shows Mrs. Powers, and about a third of the fern.
Scholars study historic stone cottage on Wivell property
by Hazel Baker
Representatives of the
William Penn Museum,
Harrisburg, evaluated the
stone cabin on Donegal
Creek Farm, East Donegal
Township, this week to
determine the age of the
structure. Some local his-
torians think the cabin dates
back to pre-revolutionary
war days.
At the invitation of the
Marietta Bicentennial com-
mittee, Dr. Barry Kent,
John Tyler, and Ira Smith
observed the structure in
order to place a date of
construction. The cabin was
sometimes thought to be
that of Peter Allen, an early
fur trader. The officials will
forward their observations
to the owners, Mrs. Clyde
Wivell and family.
Hurricane Agnes caused a
lot of damage to the
structure. Flood waters
weakened the walls so
badly, the building may be
impossible to preserve. The
committee hopes te dig for
artifacts when the weather
breaks.
