Out of Philadelphia is Montgomery Square which was the first post office in Montgomery Township, which, when settled in 1714, had an area of 7,170 acres. In 1734 there were only 28 land- holders and tenants in the district. In the early history of this region the United States mail ried on foot from Colmar to Mont- distance of a was car- gomery Square, a little more than two miles.

At Montgomeryville is located a Baptist Church which is more than 100 years old. The original edifice was erected in 1719. NEW LITERATURE Do you know that Pennsylvania is winning a deserved reputation of being the most scenic State in the country? Since the Pennsylvania Scenic and Historic Commission began its of publicity one year ago, Keystone State’s scenic and historic attractions have been brought to the attention the public in each of the 48 states, as in countries beyond our work the of well as national boundary lines. With Secretary of Highways, Warren Van Dyke, as the directing head of th Commission, the second sue of 100,000 scenic and historic map folders will be ready soon for free distribution; and by April 1, it is expected that 25000 copies of the revised booklet, “Pennsyl- vania has Everything,” will be off the press. Practically this entire quantity has already been reserved to fill requests from newspapers and individuals within and outside the State. MILL RIFT POST OFFICE Do you know that some post offices in Pennsylvania were named in a most peculiar manner? For example, let us Mill Rift, in Pike County, end of Route 963, which connect is- from Orange County, N. Y, to the point where the Bushkill Creek empties into the Delaware River. He built a home and a saw-mill. He was the first settler. In thisre- gion the Delaware races over its rocky bottom. These rapids soon became known as Saw-Mill Rift, and this was the first name given to the little settlement. In 1848 the Erie Railroad “came to town” as a single-track operation and here was the passing point for trains; hence, the railroad men called it Turnout. The little vill- age that had sprung up was Turn- out to some and Saw-Mill Rift to others. In 1884 a post office was established under the name of Mill Rift. This little town is now a summer resort, depicting some of the finest mountain scenery of the Delaware Valley. The “Elephant’s Feet,” a grotesque rock formation, guards the Delaware River at this place. Hawk's Nest Mountain Drive is held out to tourists as a scenic road. Bluestone of a superior color and quality is found in this region.
