way he handled the implement. The hun
dreds OF men working on the road stopped
IS the Governor started, then, seeing that
hs meant business, redoubled their
former efforts and the air was filled with
flying shale and dirt.
A group of Mechanicsburg men under
tho supervision of Jack Seaman was the
next party visited by the Governor. The
machines were slowing up when the Gov
ernor spied man with a pick and shovel
IN hand and a pipe dangling from his
teeth.
There are the three tools / like" said
he, as he stepped from the car and
gTasped the pick and shovel, leaving the
workman with only his pipe.
Dr. e, E. Campbell, president of Irving
College was working on the road near
Aechanlcsburg. He invited the Governor
70 stop at the college and see the girls.
He did. When Mr.. Brumbaugh returned
across the campus to his machine he had
bis arms around two of the smallest girls,
while the rest formed in line and fol-
lowed.
The noon stop was made at Carlisle,
after which the Governor went on to
