the state constitution to this day.
The United States was born on
Pennsylvania soil. The articles OF
confederation were adopted in Phila-
delphia; the Declaration of indie
pendence was written and signed
there; the treaty of peace which
ended the Revolutionary war was
ratified in that place, and later the
constitution of the United States was
formulated there.
The Commonwealth has built its
industries largely on basic ele-
ments. 1t produces nearly half the
steel of this nation, shipping it to
all parts of the world. The greatest
metal production ever attained at
one locality is at Pittsburgh. The
bituminous coal annual output aver
ages approximately 100 million tons,
while anthracite averages over 81
million tons. The Commonwealth
produces high-grade petroleum, iron
ore, pig iron, steel for rails and
structural purposes, lime, slate and
other metals and minerals. A list
of products manufactured in Penn
sylvania would fill a bookl
Traditionally progressive, the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania offer you q
warm welcome to visit their state.
Seeing is believing!

It is more than a boast, more
than a slogan. The Keystone
state is so varied in climate,
scenery, industries and occupa-
tons that it defies articulate and
coherent description. Whatever
your interests, your plans, your
ambitions or hopes, listen to the
story of Pennsylvania.
Are you interested in American
history? Start at Independence hall
in Philadelphia, the Cradle of Lib
erty. Wander through the streets
where Benjamin Franklin lived and
worked and helped create a united
nation. Or travel to Gettysburg
where the greatest battle of the
Civil war was fought. Visit Fort
Necessity, near Uniontown, the
scene of Washington's first battle,
in 1854, when he was commander
of the colonial troops. See the mu-
scum at Valley Forge, formerly
Washington's headquarters during
that cold winter when the colonies
hope was at its lowest. Go to Gen.
eral Braddock's grave near Farm
ington, or to the Old Blockhouse
at Pittsburgh. Swing up to Erie to
see the Niagara, Commodore Per-
rvs flagship in the battle of Lake
Erie in 1918.
Mountains, Lakes, Forests.
Vacation? Sports? First of all,
you'll like the famous Pennsylvania
Turnpike and the other smooth high
ways of Pennsylvania. There are
mountains and valleys, rivers and
streams. Pennsylvania has 200 siz-
able lakes for boating and water
sports-with Lake Erie thrown in
for good measure! You'll find trout
streams and lakes for fishing, and
Mount Davis in Somerset county
with its 3,213 feet for you to climb.
The "Grand Canyon of Pennsyl-
vania" (Pine Creek Gorge) at
Wellsboro, or Pymatuning lake and
wild waterfowl refuge in Crawford
county, should thrill you. There are
picnicking and camping sites by
the hundreds, old trails to follow,
and $500 acres of virgin timber in
Cook Forest state park. These are
bat a few; others can be found in
every nook and corner of Pennsyl-
vania's $4,000 square miles Of
beauty.
Are you an industrialist? Then
you'll want to investigate the great
coal fields, like those at Scranton,

Gently substituted for Nelson Eddy,
who was unable to do his radio

tahlishing Arm friendship be-

HOLLYWOOD, March 5-My at
tention has been called several
times to new group Of show peo-l
pie who receive little recognition
for a great work they are doing. I
refer to the lesser known Of the
entertainment world who have
spent, and are spending weary
months on the hospital circuit"
staging shows for wounded veter-
ans.
Some Of these folks receive sal
aries from the U. s. O., and more
than once have been criticized for
accepting this money. What their
critics do not realize Is that 1t
would be impossible for the aver
age little guy" of show business to
carry on without compensation.
They are not wealthy, and are
making a definite sacrifice in ac-
cepting U. s. o. tours, since prac-
tically all OF them could be earn
ing more IN night clubs, theaters
and movies than they do jumping
from hospital TO hospital, giving as
many as ten and twelve perfor-
mances a day. They leave their
homes and the comforts OF home
life for task that must sometimes
seem thankleSs when the public
offers them criticism for their eff
forts.
But I am sure not one Of them
would have 1t otherwise. Surely the
memory Of seeing a badly wounded
boy snap out Of his pain and forget,
even for q moment. Is well worth
the effort and discomfortS these
show folk experience. A small tim
er must look awfully big TO a guy
who can't leave his bed, and I am
sure the patrons of the hospital
circuit. think these performers are
we'll worth the small salaries they
are paid.
