children one year, the highest mark
ever set by a single community in the
55 years the project has been con-
ducted.
Efforts to secure “summer homes”
are now being made in Lancaster
county by a committee headed by
Charles S. Goodman, of Lancaster, so
that as many children a possible will
be entertained in the two weeks fol-
lowing July 19, when they arrive by
train.
Local persons recall amusing and
pathetic incidents of trips of former
years, The boy who tried to pour eggs
from one basket to another, the girl
who wouldn't drink milk when she
learned it came from cows instead of
cans—these and a hundred other hap-
penings have shown how little the
children know of the country and how
much they enjoy being in it.
In New York workers are daily un-
covering heart-rendering tales of mis-
ery and want. To a family with an
unemployed father and a mother who
ekes out $4 a week washing, the prom-
ise of two weeks elsewhere is God-
send to the three girls and little boy.
To the shrunken-checked little boys
of a tenement cellar; the fresh air of a
farm would be a tonic to put them
back on the road to health.
These children have read in school
of the fertile farmlands of America
and of the pleasant breezes that fan a
countryside, but they have never seen
them. Grass, aside from the dusty
blades in a building-lined park, and
animal life, except for an occasional
milk or junk wagon horse, are un-
known to them.
The committee of the local Fresh
Air fund in charge of securing homes
for children on their two weeks stay
includes:

lumbia,

Members of 4-H flower clubs in
the state will enter a flower identi-
fication contest at Club Week on
August 17 to 20, at the Pennsylvan-
ia State College. Twenty-five flow-
ering plants are to be identified, 25
questions answered, and a state-
ment containing the advantages of
flower club work submitted by each

Care for Asparagus
To have a good crop of asparagus
each spring care must be given the
bed the previous summer. Feed the
plants with manure or a complate
commercial fertilizer, and keep the
bed free from weeds. Cutting should
ease mow so the plants can store
d for the garly crop next spring.

REAL LOG CABIN
ADORNS FORT SITE .
Pennsylvania who may wish to see
how their early ancestors built their
homes will find a good example in the
log cabin within the restored Ford Ne-
cessity, 10 miles east of here on the
National Road, which is to be dedi-
cated as a State and national historic
shrine on July 3 and 4.
The cabin, just completed, was built
by pioneer methods and pioneer tools.
There is not a nail in it, wooden pegs
being used. The logs are saddled to-
gether as neatly as any pioneer could
have done it, and the chinks are filled
with plaster, The floor is of hand-
hewn white oak planks, The roof is of
clapboards held together with poles.
A big white oak stump cut from a tree
258 years old is the table,
The original cabin was used as a
hospital by Dr. Craik, then a young
ensign, and George Washington's life-
long friend, during the battle of Fort
Necessity, July 3, 1754, when 400 Vir-
ginia and South Carolina troops under
the 22-year-old Washington, held off
1600 French and Indians, This battle
was the spark which set off the French
and Indian War.
Memorial Plantings
Foresters and rangers in the
twenty-four state forest districts
Pennsylvania during the past yea
planted 1,692,000 trees which have
been registered as George Wash-
ington memorial tree plantings
the American Tree Association of
Washington.

If any of you folks ever get
rheumatism, stiff joints, or any-
thing of that sort, “Sixty” Groff
certainly has a good remedy. It’s a
new kind of odorless liniment.
We certainly had a lot of fun-
ny things happen in town last week
Here are just a few:
Mrs. “Bud” Carpenter has four
small green turtles in an aquarium
and recently one was missing.
Nearly a week later she found it
under “Bridget,” the pet dog's
cushion.
Last week Harry Darrenkamp
erected a fine new awning in front
of his store. It was neatly lettered
by one of our local sign painters,
who put the lettering on the inside
instead of the outside.
That’s about as bad as Grandpap
Schroll. Last Fall he erected a lot
of trespass notices down at Crystal
Springs and faced them all in in-
stead of out.
Talkin’ about turtles, last week
Sam Miller, the P. P. & L. super,
got a good sized turtle which he
contemplated converting into soup.
He put it in the cellar and it dis-
appeared. Several days later when
Sam’s good wife went to the cellar,
lo and behold there was the turtle
walking around with a wash tub on
its back.
While swinging over the water in
Seachrist’s meadow, Joe Detwiler, a
local barber. lost his hold and un-
expectedly went bathing. His bath-
ing suit was white knickers, white
shirt and sport shoes.
A boy about ten, on Marietta
street, asked his father what ‘chaf-
feur’ meant and he was told it was
the driver of an automoblle.
The boy said: -Daddy that was
not what you called that fellow who
nearly ran into our car on Sunday.”
Bessie Lauer, a little miss from
Harrisburg, is here on a visit. The
other day she asked her mother
why Harry Darrenkamp’s chickens
are making such a noise and she
was told that it was quite likely
they wanted their food.
Bessie replied: “If they are hung-
ry why don’t they go and lay
themselves some eggs?”
Just then her brother “Buddy”
said: “They would but they have no
hammers to creck the shells.”
From a crack like that you'd
think Buddy was a smart lad but
I'll let you in on a secret. The oth-
er evening during a thunder storm
the radio was full of static and I
caught him putting a cough drop
into it because it was so hoarse.
A chap from town went on a
trip recently and when shown his
room at a hotel remarked: “This
room is certainly small and poorly
furnished—one chair and a folding
bed.”
The boy replied: “That, sir, is
New Inspection
For Autos Near

to allow inspection of bulbs and re-
flectors. Bulbs will be checked for
candlepower, discoloration or sagging
filaments. Reflectors must be polished
replated or replaced if brass shows
through reflecting surface, if pin holes
or small pots are bunched, or if re-
flector is rusty or dented.
Both headlamps are required to light
in the driving and tilted position.
Lenses must be clean, not cracked and
of the same make in each headlamp.
Headlmaps must be properly focused
and aimed, with necessary loading al-
lowance. Bear lamps and stop lights
also will be checked.
The condition of tires will be check-
ed. This check is an - added safety
precaution and is for the benefit of
the vehicle owner. The condition of
tires, unless continued operation with
them is considered too dangerous, will
not effect the issuing of approval
stickers. Stickers will be issued only
when the law has been compiled with.
PATROL AIDS IN
PREVENTING STATE
GAS TAX EVASIONS
e
As part of the Department of
Jevenue’s continuing drive on gas-
oline bootlegging, State Highway
patrolmen in May checked the
source and destination of 24,479,182
gallons of gasoline. Patrolmen en-
gaged in this duty are paid by the
bureau of liquid fuels tax.
On the total gallonage checked,
the crew of the State Revenue cut-
ter operating on the Delaware Riv-
er reported on 20,918,847 gallons.
At the Delaware River bridge
heads, patrolmen checked 1,024,648
gallons entering Pennsylvania by
truck and 1,421,765 gallons leaving
the State by truck. The harbor and
bridge head control is made by the
Troop E.
Details of Troop C operating in
the western end of the State check-
ed the contents of 848 gasoline
trucks, and two tank cars. These
operations are part of the system
of gasoline control recently estab-
lished on the Pennsylvania Ohio
border in co-operation with Ohio
revenue agents. The Pennsylvania
patrolmen checked 25,830 gallons
entering and 685,751 leaving the
State. Gasoline checked inside the
State totaled 402,341 gallons.
The same troop investigated 1184
service stations. The service sta-
tion check was to check records and
is also part of the Department’s
campaign to stop service stations
from substituting and selling gaso-
line other than the gasoline indica-
ted by the trade name on their
equipment.

I saw this ad in a Lancaster
county paper:
WANTED—Single man for small
retail milk route and general farm
work; must know how to milk and
drive Ford car.
Well I always knew you could
do most anything with a Ford but
darned if I ever knew you could
milk ‘em.
One of our local business men
told me that the best after dinner
speech he ever heard was last night
he heard a fellow say: “Waiter,
bring me the check.”
A lady here went to Brubaker’s
store and while thinking what else
she might want the clerk suggest-
ed: “Do you want some nice fresh
eggs?”
Lady replied: “No I have enough
of them at home to last me a month
or more.”
A WISE OWL
E don’t presume to tell you which motor oil
gives you best results— Mid-continent or Penn-
sylvania. But we can prove to you that in these two
classes Sinclair Motor Oils are the finest that Nature
and science together have produced.
Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil is refined from crude
oils, mellowed and filtered for at least 80 million
years; it is a blend of the very oldest Mid-continent
crudes, including the famous Cambro - Ordovician
crude taken from a mile and a quarter below the
surface in Oklahoma.
Sinclair Pennsylvania Motor Oil is a product of
the Devonian Age of a hundred million years ago.
Sinclair Pennsylvania is refined 100% from Brad-
ford-Allegany crude oil—a crude so rich in lubri-
cating quality that every barrel commands an extra
OPALINE
REG US PAT OFF.
MOTOR OIL
En
SINCLAIR MOTOR OILS...
From Mid- continent's oldest crude
or Pennsylvania's costliest crude . . .
price. (See crude oil prices in any petroleum journal.)
Both of these splendid motor oils undergo a special
treatment in the Sinclaig, refineries. Sinclair Opaline
and Sinclair Pennsylvania are not only de-waxed —
they are also freed from heavy, sluggish, non-lubri-
cating petroleum jelly at as low as 60° F. below zero.
Containing no petroleum jelly, the lubricating body
of Sinclair Motor Oils is absolutely genuine and will
not thin out in engine heat.
Experience will tell you quickly why Sinclair Opa-
line and Sinclair Pennsylvania are the finest in their
respective classes. Note how these oils stand up in
hard, fast driving. Note especially at draining time
how little oil has been used up—positive, visible
proof of protection for the last mile as well as the
first!
