WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1936. WHOLE 4,898. THOUSANDS VISIT PENNSYLVANIA'S GRAND CANYON OVER THE WEEK-END Crowd of Over Five Thousand On the Fourth and Over Eight Thousand On Sunday. Five thousand people visited the Harrison Park Saturday and over 8,000 saw the views from the Park lookouts Sunday. Sunday's traffic to the park was lunning as high "as 15Q cars an hour all afternoon.

A great number of the people were from nearby New York state cities which have recently been devoting a great deal of newspaper to Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. tj --i -Don Seeley, editor of the Elmira Telegram, last week spent a day driving throughout the various roads of the Canyon country and was so enthused with the spot that the Sunday Elmira Telegram contained a full page article on this Pine creek area. Mr. Seeley said in his article: "Even New York state's Adirondacks don't seem to pack quite the same punch. Daily inquiries from all over the country bring more and more to the park -every day.

Better 'than 50 per cent of the out- of-state tourifcts are now stopping to see the Gorge. In the past week a Park Supervisor has been engaged through the of WPA funds. Another will shortly be added to adequate ly the tremendous week-end ciov-tR Guides are at the Park nearly every day to show the Mi'inf-er where to go to best see the Canyon. It is interesting to note that many of them take the v.alk down Little Four Mile to Stone station. J.

The New York State influx of traffic Sundays from Pennsylvania has at the pre sent time been reversed.

Wellsboro, July 4--To tha editor of the Agitator: What is otherwise a beautiful calm in a town of neatness rind order is too often broken by raucous noises ranging from hideous yelk and auto-horns back-firing easily lay claim to being a beafctiful center of homes, with its boulevard streets, its stately elms, and well kept homes and mowed lawns. One by one as time gpes -on there is added some touch which brings the boro more nearly to the place where it takes on city airs. Wherever people are concentrated there are sick people, and bye and bve a hosmtal to care for the sick. To be of the most service the hospital must have a central location, and naturally there will be noise to disturb at times those sick people who are struggling to retrain tfceir health. Most cities impose a "quiet zone" upon hospital neighborhoods, so that those who "run may read" will exercise caution in preventing unnecessary noise.

It is a experience for Wellsboro "to have a in its- midst, and ft would be considered a hardship if law enforcement measures had to be taken to prevent unnecessary noises. But the seriously sick peonle that come to this hospital do commain of horn honking and other unnecessary noises. It seems- to never have occurred to some drivers that doorbells were made to ring. It seems hardlv necessary to do more than call attention to this matter in a town that is alive to its own best interests.

FLOOD CONTROL COMMITTEES Held Meeting in Sunbury --Thursday Commissioners to Assist. Determined to carry on until the flood waters of the Susquehanna River system have been controlled, the Executive Council of the Susquehanna Drainage Area Flood Control Council adopted further forward looking policies at a meeting held in Sunbury, July 2. Robert Hall Craig, Vice-President of the Council, reported en action being taken by the committees on National and State legislation. In his analysis of the Steps taken to date, Mr. Craig said that the State Legislative Committee has assisted i nthe introduction of several flood control bills and is urging passage of these measures.

Mr. Craig laid particular emphasis in the bills which provide for complete scrveys of the Susquehanna and its tributaries. This survey will be made by the Pennsylvania Department of and Waters. That such a survey is needed was revealed by Mr. Craig's report on a conference hi scommittee on National Legislation had had with Brig.

General Pillsbury of the Rivers and Harbors Board of "the United States Army Engineers. This conference, according to Mr. Craig, revealed that the Army surveys which have been made to date do not cover 1 the river as a unit but have been directed toward the correction of certain local problems. While 1 the Army Engineers hope at some future dat- to make a complete survey, it is quite important that the people living in the Susquehanna Valleys have early knowledge as to what may be done to accomplish real flood prevention. Dr.

arl L. MOlward, Vice-president in. Charge of Fnance, reported in the deliberations of his committee which is made up of one representative of each county in the area. Because of the many definite problems facing the Council Dr. Milward expresses the belief that the program must be a long-range one and cover a long period of time.

Accordingly, Dr. Milhvard's committee has studied the. several counties from the standpoint of population and flood loss. Using these two factors as a basis for assessment the Finance "Committee recommended suggested for each county. The Executive Committee gave very careful consideration to the report and was unanimous in its praise of the fairness of each assessment.

Dr. Millward was requested to Credit Where Credit is Dae By RAYMOND PJTCAIRN National Chairman Sentineli of the Republic Who Is doing the real work that leads America'toward Recovery? During recent weeks we've heard many answers to that question. Headlines have bristled with claims and counter-claims with reports of speeches that give the credit to political officeholders with statements that would award the honor to the prophets of strange and unproved economic theories. But amid the thunders of oratory the true claimant Is ignored. He Is the man who, while politicians clamored and theorists argued, continued quietly, faithfully, effectively to do the day's work; to support himself, his family--and America.

He Is the man--whether fanner or hired help, merchant or clerk, executive pr mechanic--under whose hand and care the fields maintained their yield, the products of. farm and factory kept moving, the wheels of industry continued to revolve. He is the man who earned and paid the taxes--direct or indirect-that kept this country a going concern and met the payrolls of the political jobholders who would take the credit unto themselves. He Isn't one man. He represents millions of self-reliant citizens who i maintain and support and operate 'the homes and the farms and the workshops of America.

He Is the type that built America in the past, that is upholding America in the present, that will make America more glorious in the future. Individually, he is the real American. Collectively he Is the Real America, Let the political and economic 1 soothsayers continue their claims and their promises. But, meanwhile, let's give credit where credit Is due.

President of the oCuncil, pointed out that prompt acceptance of these assessments by the County Commissioners of the several counties would insure the early employment of a qualified secretary whose chief duty will be to see that no stone is left unturned in the battle, to prevent future flood on the Susquehanna and its tributaries. Several County Commissioners in attendance at the meeting pledged their counties for the amount contained in Dr. Millward's report and expressed the belief that all forward looking commissioners would agree to do their fair share.
