BRIGHT MOMENTS
IN GREAT LIVES

William Penn. charterer Of
Pennsylvania, enjoyed phenom-
email colonial success by treat
ing the Indians justly. Penn
paid the Indians for their land.
In disputes between Indians and
white men, half of the jury was
made up Of each race. If the
Indians found white children
lost in the forest, they guided
them home to their families.
When Penn signed his famous
treaty with the Indians, he stat
ed The English and the In
dians must live in love as long
as the sun gives light" They
lived in peace from that mo-
ment onward.

BOYS RIDE TANDEM
OVER 500 MILES

Marion Station was, no doubt, a
welcome sight to two New Hampshire
youths Monday morning when they
completed a more than four day BIZ
cycle ride through storm and rain
from their home at Keene to visit rel
atives in that community.
The lads, Raymond Trask and
Charles Gober, both eighteen mount
ed on a tandem bicycle with trailer
which they made themselves attached,
left their New England home at $50
last Thursday morning and arrived
in Marion, where they are visiting
Gober's grandmother, Mrs. E. J.
Adams, and other relatives, at 11.30
Monday morning.
A cold northeast wind, with rain
falling almost continually, accompan-
led the youngsters who were clad only
in shorts, light shirts and slippers but
they stood the SIS mile journey nicely
and seemed as fresh upon arriving
In the Somerset county community as
when they left home.
In the light, homemade trailer was
extra clothing and tent, which they
used only twice. The first two nights
of the trip, Thursday and Friday, they
pitched the tent after dark and slept
but they remained on the road Satur-
day and Sunday nights.
Except for one instance an unevent-
full and, had the weather not been in
clement, enjoyable trip was reported
by the boys. This one unfortunate
event occurred in coming over the
mountains in Massachuttes. While as
cending Mt. Grace the brake bearings

who was accompanied by his grand
mother, Mrs. Noble Thomas, 70 years
old. Neither was injured.
The Groce car crashed into a tele-
phone pole. The impact hurled open
the door and the two men were
thrown out.
