THE EVENING NEWS, DANVILLE, PA. MONDAY, AUG. 27, 1923 ANNUAL REUNION OF TOWPATH VETS Canal Boatmen of Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys Gather at Rolling Green Veteran boatmen who years ago operated transportation over the old Pennsylvania canals, gathered 1500 strong in annual reunion at Rolling Green Park, Saturday. From far and near they came, traveling by motor and train until noon when practically all had reported at the registration booth. Numbered among the vast throngs of boatmen were men who, although aged, could tell endless stories about the days when freight was moved beside the tow paths.

Boatmen and their families came from as far as St. Louis, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Bellefonte. Practically every point in Pennsylvania was represented. One of most interesting groups was from Haverdegras where the old Tidewater canal, a Reading holding, was operated. The park in general was the scene of much interest.

The lake was dotted with miniture canal boats and craft used during the days of the canal. Many of older veterans were photographed on the boats. the pictures to be used in newspaper thruout the country. Among the most interesting relies presented was an old bill of lading, then known as a "manifest." owned by a Wm. Ungard, of Lock Haven.

The bill was for a cargo of yellow pine lumber from Lock Haven to WilkesBarre in 1878. Another was a memorandum book owned by William Fry, of Lewistown, who conducted the old Willow Grove general store along the canal about two miles below Liverpool. The book includes the name of every boat and the name of every man on the crew, that visited the store for supplies during a period of three years. The record covered the period from 1872 to 1874. By late Saturday afternoon between four and five thousand people had gathered at the park.

All of course, did not participate in the reunion but the majority of those present were either boatmen and members of their families or relatives who are as much interested in the outing as general public. At the close of the registration it was found that 900 had entered their names as members of good standing. The business meeting was held in the presence of an audience that filled the theatre.

As One Of The Public As one of the public you have often observed the way all pencils are chained in the public braries, railroad stations and other public places.

And how telephone books and other directories are likewise fastened. Just a protection against a weakness of human nature to FORGET. Having so much to do and so little time in which to do it must leave a certain amount of FORGETFULNESS in us which causes our public institutions to protect themselves against this innocent trait. If it is important enough for libraries to chain pencils, is it not essential that you in some way attach a protecting cord to your DOLLARS? We mean your EVERY DAY DOLLARS those that you use to pay the butcher, the grocer and the candy stick maker. There is a most elastic chain for this purpose and it is invincible in its service.
