Today's Talk FAMILIAR MEMORIES By George Matthew Adams I believe it is a good thing occasionally go back in memory to the scenes of one's child- icod, to gather up a few of the glories of that time. Recently visited the little house in which was born, and then I reviewed my mind many of the things that made those earlier days so memorable. No automobiles hen and so there were the ad roads. But we had the fami- horse on which we would ride the village watering trough each day.

Bathrooms were then only for the rich. The family wooden tub was as familiar as the red and table cloth, the coal range, and the rainwater barrel that tood outdoors behind the wood- hed.

About all he could do would be pass the exams On cookies, the candy, the jellies and jams. I do't know horses; I can't judge mules; I am not cbncerned with the State Fair rules; And I couldn't award either ribbon or prize So I'll wander about and just look wise.

McryUnd Phone (SOI) S39-277S Say Blight Reports Are Exaggerated By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A spokesman for the seed grain producing industry says predictable damage to the nation's corn crop from the spread of a leaf fungus epidemic is likely to 'be 2 to .7 per cent.

Thomas H. Roberts president of DeKalb AgResearch DeKalb 111., which claims to be the nation's largest producer of hybrid seed, spoke Friday after a meeting in Washington with Agriculture Secretary Clifford M. Hairdin. Del D. Wailker, president of the American Seed Trade Association and head of Funk Brothers Seed Bloomington, said, "Reports that the entire corn seed crop was in danger of being wiped out by the blight are greatly exaggerated." OTHER REPORTS HIGHER Last week a group of scientists and seed producers meeting at the University of Georgia said the spread of the leaf fungus blight from the Deep South to the Midwest corn belt could destroy 50 per cent of the nation's crop this year.

Sen. Alien J. EUender, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, supported the Washington seed grain producers Friday in quoting ranking Agriculture Department officials as saying losses may not exceed 5 per cent. But in Illinois, state and university agriculture experts estimated that 25 to 50 per cent of the state's corn crop might be lost to the fungus. Illinois produced 953 miiion 'bushels of corn--about one-fifth the nation's total--last year.

Experts in Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and other corn producing states said it was too early to be sure how serious the damage would be. you in what we doto here from ten to a hundrec years ago. Were you here flit years ago? Perhaps you are on of our very welcome new cit zens. No matter which you ar I hope that you may be inter ested. So we will start with i 1920 item.

The big news item nentione was the start of a motor true route for the benefit of the farm ers to get their products to th markets in Washington, Balti more, and Philadelphia more quickly. The truck left from Gettysburg for Biglerville, Bendersville, back to Bigler ville, then to Arendtsville and on to Cashtown; Cashtown Sevens Stars and back, and the on to Orrtanna and Fairfield At Fairfield it met a truck from McConnelsburg via Way nesboro, by which means the remainder of the trips to mar ket was made. It was a trip about forty miles and it tool four hours to make it. Ten miles per hour seems slow bu in addition to loading we mus remember that the roads were mostly dirt, with water boun macadam being the best. How ever, it really was a step for ward.

Here is a record that I clip ped, that should give Bob Hul ton's college varsity basketbal team a mark at which they can shoot. Bob "Wheaties" Parke had just finished a mid season foul shooting record of 40 ou of 43 tries in 1960. I can recall Dr. Alexande: Oberlander Potter who was the subject of an article that ap peared in the twenty-five years ago column. The article cover ed his entry into a new field education.

Alex was a 1919 grad uate of Gettysburg College. After graduation he workec for the League of Nations aw he brought his knowledge bad to his Alma Mater and held seminar on the famous fourteen points that President Wilson tried so hard to have adoptee by the U.S. Senate, but failed I took the course as did, I ahi sure, some of my local readers He also served a term, accord ing to the 1945 note, as presi dent of Rotary International. Gettysburg had its first "Safe and Sane'' Fourth of July in 1920. Neither the State nor the Borough had any laws to prohibit fireworks or fire crackers being used.

Apparently the bur gess at that time made the nil ing by edict, after a statewide request by bureau ol lealth and fire prevention had been made. During the last several years we have seen the number observation towers on the bat tlefield dwindle from fire to two and a half. An article from 1895 stated that bids had been asked for building four of the towers. Two were to be 75 fee high and two 60 feet, and were be placed the pleasure of visitors." Eventually ihere were five and were much enjoyed. Those remaining are on Gulp's Hill, West Confederate Avenue, and a short tower on Oak Ridge.

Those that were removed were the one on Big Round Top and the one at Zeig ler's Grove. Extremes in the weather are very often the subject of "Ou of the Past" Column comments In 1945, according to the issue of June 18, 1970 the mercury ton June 14 was on its way to se record for the date. Dr Henry Stewart was an officia volunteer observer for the U.S Weather Bureau, and he is quot ed as reporting that the ther mometer had risen to de grees at p.m. from 7 arlier that morning and tha it was still rising.

B. Cope was the observer. He had his official thermometer at his home at 316 Baltimore St. It was in a large box-like container with louvered sides that stood in the middle of his yard. I often saw him go out to make his reading.

He reported on this July day that the reading was 98 degrees, thus breaking a record set two weeks before, of 97. As I write this, also hi we are complaining about a low 90 degree mark. From all that I can recall ever reading weather wise was the temperature and wind direction. They no doubt had barometers, but I do not recall hearing of the reading. On the other hand they must have taken reading of the rain and snow fall, because the figures of those days are often quoted today.

When Dr. Stewart took over he wanted to be able to furnish wind velocity. He was not furnished with an instrument with which to measure the speed of the wind so he devised one of his own. He had no way of making the cup-like recorders then in use by the weather bureau so he figured out the exact measurement of the area in the cups and made conical shaped recorders, placed them on a pole, and with a measuring device figured the wind's true velocity. The doctor himself told me of this accomplishment.

In 1955, Mrs. Shuman, widow of C. Ross Shuman, now residing in Florida, was regent of the local D.A.R. chapter and presented the winners of their annual essay contest with their awards. The young folks were, Geoffrey Langsam, son of then president of Gettysburg College and Mrs.

Langsam; Miss Charline Patterson of R. Harold Reuning's daughter Jane; and Merle Gorman whom I cannot place off-hand. In 1960, 500 members of the congregation of St. Francis Xa- viter Church honored their pastor Rev. Fr.

Anthony Kane on the 25th anniversary of his ordination. You may have noticed this item in the Times July 13, 1970. The Times of July 3 this year carried an "Out of the Past" item that stated that the Girl Scouts had purchased a 45 acre Farm in Liberty Township. The late Mrs. M.

Hardy Nichols was the prime mover of the Girl Scout movement at that time and helped start Happy Valley. If you were a resident of the county in 1920 you no doubt will recall that John P. Butt was admitted to the Adams County Bar that year. The motion to admit him was made by his uncle Charles E. Stahle, a leading attorney at that time.

I will stop delving into the "Out of the Past" column and close this article with the note that I was apparently wrong several weeks ago when I spoke of the Gettysburg Garage, advertising Dodge cars and Graham trucks being operated by Arthur Phiel. That was a guess on my part as the name of the owner did not appear in the ad. John Woods told me that he felt sure that it was then operated by Peckman and Ott. When I can dig up the correct answer I will let you know. DIEM POi PLAYHOUSE gf A I A STATE PARK IpUJ TONITE AT 8:30 P.M.
