Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has taken the richly imaginative story of a Kansas school girl, who, wishing to Bee the land "over the rainbow," is euddenly, magically, transported there, and treated it with a delicate mixture of lavishness and simplicity. And the result is that despite the $3,000,000 that the screen company spent in making the film, despite the efforts of hundreds of ectors and technicians who worked On it.

npiIE city of Harrisburg as we see it today, looks much like it did last year or the year before to us who live here, but each year brings its changes, and when they are all added up over a generation or two, it is amazing how little remains of the town of fifty or 100 years ago. Since the memory of man cannot go back that far, the written record of former years, is all that remains to tell us what Harrisburg was like in the last century. One such record of more than ordinary value, is that written by the late Rev. V. Hummel Berghaus in 1901.

According to the census of 1850, Harrisburg then contained a population of 7834, of which 6424 were white, and 910 colored, the white population being nearly equally divided as to sex 3456 females and 3468. "The borough, as it then was, was bounded by the Pennsylvania canal on the east and the Susquehanna on the west, whilst North street marked its limits on the north and Paxton and Race streets on the south. The region just beyond North street (along the river) was known by the suggestive name of whilst all south of Mulberry street rejoiced in the euphonious title of M.
