PARK TO REPLACE VILLAGE
Extension Of Public Domain Makes
Necessary Sacrifice OF Port Ken
needy in Pennsylvania.

- The state of Pennsylvania, through
the Valley Forge park commission, has
condemned by right of eminent domain
the, entire village Of Port Kennedy, on
the Schuykill river,>near Valley Forge.
The place has a population OF ABOUT
six hundred, two churches. q school
house, home for poor CHILDREN. three
picturesque old mills and about i6O
dwellings,. All but the schoolhouse
and the churches are to be torn down
to make way for the enlargement or
Valley Forge park. and the whole VII
lage is wondering where II Is going 10
find new homes.
A few years ago. Valley Forge park
contained only $50 acres. Somebody
discovered that the act creating the
park provided that it should lie with
in the outpOsts of Washingtons en-
campment. Port Kennedy seems to
come within that territory. although.
there has been considerable historical
argument on Tie point.
For some years the villagers have
been fighting the plans of the COM
mission to extend the park, but now
they have given up. The Rev. Rhea
Coffman. pastor of the Port Kennedy
PRESBYTERIAN church. Is leading the
movement to establish a new commu-
nifty. '"ThiS presents big problem to
most of u.s." he says. "rhe majority
of Port Kennedy people earn their liV-
ing at the nearby magneSia mills and
getting away from here may mean
serious financial loss. We have been
organizing prospective lot buyers and
have obtained an option OH a 9O-acre
tract that is still within walking dis
lance of the mills; Al of our people
have agreed TO buy lots there. '-Bos-
