Severe Rain And
Wind Storm In
This Section Sat.
While many places are digging] .
the selves out of the snow, others
recovering from the floods and
storm, this section was, in a sense,
lucky on Saturday. Naturally we]
had storm damage but it was not as
severe as in many places. But one|
thing was certain, there were few
dwellings that withstood the blow |
ing rain and there were a large!
number of leaky houses.
|
During Saturday night and all
day Sunday the streams hereabouts, !
particularly the Little Chickies
went on a rampage and while they
overflowed their banks there was
very little damage from water.
From the Mount Gretna Hills
north and west there is a covering
of from 3 to 4 inches of snow while
there is none in this immediate vi-
cinity.
Tree Falls on Auto
At Florin, a tree one and one-
half feet in diameter fell over on
the auto of James Maderia, of
Florin, while it was parked in the
street. Cushioned by its branches, |
the tree did little damage to the
auto.
However, in the Florin area large:
display signs were knocked over a- |
long the highway. Many of the
community’s TV aerials also were
dangling by 9 a. m.
At TIronville
The roofs of two barns and the
roof of one home was'ripped off by |
wind at Ironville. Several cellars in;
the village were flooded with water
and a number of television aerials
were blown down.

Bainbridge Church
Observed Its 123
Anniversary
The Ludwig Methodist Church
observed its 123rd anniversary at a
special service on Sunday with Dr.
Alexander K, Smith, west district
superintendent in the Philadelphia
Conference, as the speaker.
The pastor, the Rev. Gerald F.
Crowell, Jr., conducted the worship
service and music was provided by
soloists from the choir with Mrs.
Edwin S. Smith as the organist.
The church was founded about
the year 1827 when a group of
Methodists erected their first
church on the site now occupied by
St. Luke's Lutheran Church.
In 1844 a one-story frame build-
ing was built on Race Street to
house the congregation. By 1866 the
growth of the congregation called
for a remodelling of the building
and the addition of a new Sunday
school room. Another plan of re-
modeling was carried through in
1882.
During the latter part of March,
1896, the church was partially de-
stroyed by fire. In November of
that year a new edifice was dedi-
cated and that building was com-
pletely redecorated and remodeled
in 1947.

Bucket Shower
Bath Featured
1851 Farm Show
A Shower Bath, using only a
bucket of water to keep it going
twenty-four hours without inter-
ruption; suitable for the bedroom.
Such a gadget was “the last word
in luxurious appointments” for the
home of 100 years ago, but it strik-
ingly illustrates the progress that
has heen made between the first
Pennsylvania State Fair in 1851 and
the 35th Pennsylvania Farm Show
in Harrisburg, January 8 - 12.
The shower bath was one of the
meny unusual exhibits at the State
Fair along the Susquehanna River
at Harrisburg on October 29 - 31,
1851. Among other non-agricul-
tural exhibits were “metalic bur-
ial cases” and “ladies black riding
hats,” according to an 1851 report
of the first fair sponsored by the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural
Scciety following its organization in
January 1851.
In contrast, the 1951 State Farm
Show, in observing the Centennial
of the old State Fair, will have ap-
proximately 11,000 competitive ex-
hibits of Pennsylvania farm pro-
ducts, the latest types of farm ma-
chinery and equipment for operat-
ing modern farms, all kinds of farm
and home supplies and appliances,
farm programs and what
promises to be the best livestock
and poultry shows in the history
of the 20th Century type of edu-
cational aid to agriculture.

when planting was seriously delay-

this year have harvested 61,415,000
pounds of cigar leaf tobacco, ap-
proximately three million pounds
more than last year and 10 million

erage, 1939 - 48.

that very little was cut late in the

A Few Do And Dont’s
On Christmas Mailing
Again I would like to stress a few
DO and DONTS for the Christmas
mailing that will not only help us
here at the Post Office, but will be
a big help to you, the mailers.
Let me again remind you that the
postage on unsealed Christmas
cards is 2c, and anything sealed is
3c an ounce. Also bear in mind that
all unsealed cards, such as an-
nouncements, party invitations ete,
filled in with writing showing the
date, time and place, IS CONSID-
ERED FIRST CLASS, and must
bear a 3c stamp for every ounce
they weigh, whether they are seal-
ed or unsealed.
Preparations are already made at
this office to give you the best and
quickest possible service during the
Holiday season. During this time
vou will receive at least two deliv-
eries, and maybe in some instances
three deliveries per day. Additional
help will be hired, and indications
are that although there may be
some curtailment in mail handfing,
it will not inconvenience the public
to any great extent.
One thing I ask that you take
