most modest. of men. He is we'll re-
called by many Harrisburgers, es-
pecially by members of the Chamber
OF Commerce. because he was one of
the first speakers at the noondav
luncheons of the Chamber. He was
much impressed with Harrisburgs
natural setting and the manner in
which it had treated it's river front.
while he highly praised the general
park system. With this knowledge of
the local conditions in mind and with
some information as to what Warren

the leaves will begin to fall. But now
the mountains above Harrisburg are
among the prettiest in the State. Tho

stands out on a day when the sun is
shining. Those who cannot get the
time to walk up along the river or out
into the country should by all means
| go to Reservoir Park and get q view of
