t. Joy truck driver was in-
jured seriously Thursday morning
when he crashed into the rear of a
tractor-trailer truck on the new

ville railroad crossing.
The injured man, Elmer Oliver,

William V. Johnson, twenty-four,
Hartford, N. J., when he struck the
rear of Johnson's truck, the State
Policeman reported.
Poloncic said Johnson told him

car was short-circuited in ‘the
crash and a small fire flared up.
Johnson put out the fire with his
extinguisher.
The State Policeman said Oliver
had just left the Hubbard Chick
Farm, Manheim Pike, where he
had been working all night, It is

Farmers Bank
Printed $1, $5
A recent report out of Harris-
burg concerning a local bank is cer-
tainly getting wide publicity thru-
out the country and has resulted
in more than one argument. Here's
the article:
A search of ancient common-
wealth records * has unearthed a
collection of engraving plates which
the state used years ago to print
its own money.
Auditor General Weldon C. Hey=-
burn said the plates were found
during a restoration project of
musty files buried deep in vaults
under the State Capitol.
Most of the engraving plates are
for $5 and $20 bills, with five notes
on each plate.
Ordinarily it was the custom to
deface ‘the surface of the plate
when it was turned in. Heyburn
said, but added these plates were
in perfect condition. Issuing banks
were the Petroleum Bank, of Ti-
tusville, the Mifflin County Bank,
Joy, among others.

That Was Eighty-Six Yrs. Ago

and 1864.
Farmers Bank Denied
In a letter from one of oun sub-
scribers Mrs, Mame S. Cooper, of
Karns City, Pa. she writes: “I do
not recall ever hearing of the town

the data to this office for our in-
