Defrost Home Freezer While Contents Low Thick' Frost Make! for Hin Maintenance Costs When the food sunnlv in vour home freezer gets low, it's a good time to defrost the freezer, reminds Miss Anna Doerr, home economics extension representative, Cumberland county. Do this before you start putting in this season's fruits and vegetables. If there's about a half-inch of frost over a large area, it's time to defrost. The thicker the frost, the higher are maintenance costs. When the freezer contains a a.

another, then scrape off the frost, says Miss Doerr. Use a broad stiff spatula, putty knife, or sharp'edged wooden paddle.

wt vy 2J5 "TSrrTlili: HAM ln -wlu i i A mm 7rH V. mM I i- Wfedilesday Thursday, June 6 7 Henry. W. Shoemaker, president 0( the Pennsylvania Folk Lore society, State Museum, today says "There is no more beautiful or historic trout stream in Pennsylvania than Babb's creek, in Tioga county, named for Samson, Babb, one of the great Nimrods and pathfinders." "Babb, born of an Orthodox Quaker family in Chester county, r( moved to the wilds of Tioga county for an unusual reason, having been expelled from the Society of Friends because he 'kept and used a fiddle'," Shoemaker said. "I want to go where I can scrape 'my catgut to my heart's he exclaimed, 'and there is no hotter iplace than Tioga county.

"Sometime shortly after 1787 he settled on the stream which today bears his honored name and erected a slab cabin, a replica of which, put up by his son in Civil War times, still stands near Morris, one of the most picturesque structures in the entire northern tier of counties. The original Babb cabin was visited by explorers, surveyors and hunters, even wandering Indians who took a great liking to the spirited old Quaker. Among them was Thomas Commuck of the Narragansetts, who later enthused George W. Sears, 'Nessmuk', on the scenic and. sporting richness of Tioga cqunty and led Pennsyl vania's eaj-liest nature writer to select that region in a settlement of New Englanders like himself as his permanent home.

Commuck travelled back and fourth across Pennsylvania several times while establishing a new refuge for the Narragansetts in Michigan and always managed to stay a while with Samson Babb. "He later taught woodcraft to Babb, went on many elk hunts with him and showed him the Indian Wiods of bringing down the no-game. Babb passed on his ac- kill to the youthful Tim Gray, who became his successor as th geatest slayer-of the 'grey moose', as the old-timers called the 'wapiti' in Lycoming and Tioga counties. "When he first settled on Babb's creek the elk came in herds and stood like cattle in the stream but they gradually grew wilder and more difficult to run down and expeditions to the more northerly elklands became necessary to secure them. Commuck brought some or his fidgety diminutive tracking dogs, similar to the 'lenni chums' of the Delawares, and they would put the hunters 'on the trail and, once sighted, elks were easily shot.

In winter time Babb's favorite ppoit was coursiner the huire snow- shoe, or white rabbits and the lu-civee Canada lynx. All the year round he killed deer, bears, panthers, wolves and smaller game i and declared he had killed at least ten thousand head of all kinds. Yet despite such a fierce onslaught wild life did not seem to grow scarce in Babb's time-He was fond of fishing 'for the native dark trout, as the streams were all shad ed and the water cold, the favorite habitat of the gamey Hemlock variety. "He made his own lines and flies but was tparticularly fond of live cait like the May fly. He was a "mous neuer or wild pigeons which sDrincr and fall flew over Babb's Creek by the millions nesting on Laurel and Pigeon Hills.

In those days Pine creek was full of shad in the spring of the year and Babb found a saline spring in the forest where he got the salt to preserve his fish throughout the year. Idlri ro-a l( vVellSDOlO was built by Benjpmin Wistar Morris and associates he took several contracts and though labor was scarce, through Commuck's influence he secured the help of some of the Indians from the small reservation on Marsh creek near the present town of Ansonia; also Narragansetts constantly on Sunset Drive-In THEATRE Route 11 Between Shippensburg and Chambersburg Monday, June 4 DIANA LYNN CHARLES COBURN in- PEGGY Color by Technicolor This Full Short Subjects I'rogram and Latest News Tuesday and Wednesday, June 5 and 6 RICHARD WIDMARK in HALLS OF MONTEZUMA Technicolor Also Full Program of Short Subjects Kox Office opens f.OO P.M.

The road was success fully built anq no one had a greater ipart in completion within the time limit than Sampson Babb, his sons and other workers, including the Indians. Babb often hunted while the younger men worked, keeping the larder supplied with young elks, fawns and grouse.

'Perhaps if the road building had begun sooner, said Babb, 'I might have kept my wiie. as it was, he was away from home so much, hunting, fishing and prospecting likewise the, boys lived almost like Indians, that the gentle Quakeress from Kennett Square, the former Ann Way. an aunt of Bayard Taylor's mother, could not stand the utter loneliness of the place and returned to her people in Chester-county. Even the news that the old log cabin had become a work camp and was to be located on a state road could not induce her to return. "She died and was buried among her Chester county relatives and was seldom if ever visited bv her forest-loving children.

Several of her daughters were attractive girls and one who married and lived near the head of Babb's creek at Arnot was considered the most beautiful girl on the Tioga county plateau and had, as a mere child, been courted by a supreme court judge. "When a very old man, Samson Babb had a brick vault built and in his will declared he should be buried 'walled ud at the northwest corner of his garden'. Needless to say, his last wishes were carried out to the letter when he died in October 1815. After his death the cabin was deserted, even the door lett ajar. "Samson Babb left many des cendants who are people of prom inence on the waters of Pine creek, the Tioga river and Jamison's run, whilfe the Babb's creek stream bearing his name will- murmur his legend as long -as time endures."
