stars and began and ended with a
white stripe.
Tne next place we saw was Car
penter's Hall. Carpenters Hall
Vas built in 1870 for use as a guild
hall by the Carpenters Company
at Philadelphia Here in 1774, the
First Continental Congress met to
determine what measures the col
Onies should take to resist the
British. In Carpenters Hall we
saw many documents on the walls
and a painting of Patrick Henry
addressing the Representatives of
the delegates of the Congress. In
one corner of the room were the
chairs in which the men in the
Continental Congress sat. We left
Carpenters Hall, walked passed
independence Square where the
Declaration of Independence was
read, and then to our bus.
We drove through the city to the
Franklin Institute. After paying
our admission fees we went to the
lunch room and had lunch. After
lunch we saw the paper making
and printing room and saw all the
different kinds of machines used
in Benjamin Franklin's day. We
saw a printing press, type, and
other printing machines. We saw
the different processes logs go
through before paper is made.
Next we went to the Locomotive
Room. In the Locomotive Room
we saw the largest locomotive that
was ever made. We saw two other
locomotives in this room also. We
got to climb in the cab of the larg-
est one and in one of the smaller
ones. Now it was time to see the
Planetarium. The Planetarium is
in the Franklin Institute. When
we walked into the room it was
like walking outside on a summer
night between $50 and 900. 1t
is a large round room and has a
dome ceiling. Mr.. Snow, our guide,
welcomed us and as he talked
to us the stars and planets started
to come out. Our lecture was
about the planets. Mr.. Snow show
ed us men, dogs, snakes, and bears
in the sky which we don't usually
see. He said that when you do
start seeing them it is time to go
home and get good nights rest"
The order in which the planets
go out away from the sun is Mer-
curry, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uraners, Neptune, and Plu-
to. The two planets that interest
ed me most were Pluto and Sat
urn. Pluto's average distance from
the sun is $3.50 million miles. 1t
is estimated that it's diameter is
1000 miles. 1t was not discovered
until 1880 by Clyde William Tom
baugh 1t takes it 248 earth years
to go around the sun. Saturn is
about 1853 million miles from the
sun and the second largest in our
Solar System. 1t gets around the
sun once every 29.5 earth years.
It is like Earth and has a North
and South Pole. It's diameter is
72,500 miles. Saturn revolves on
it's axis oftener than the earth. 1t
takes the earth "a hours to re-
vOlve on its axis and it only takes
Saturn 1912 hours. Saturn is cir
cled by three rings. The next to
the nearest circle is $500 miles
from the planet.
Mr.. Snow told us about all the
planets in the Solor System, also.
AS we were leaving the Planetar-
ium, l saw the instrument called
the Planetarium. The room got it's
name from this As Ol1r pIIida said
it did look like an Outer Space
Man or a Giant Spider
Next we went to the Aviation
Milford chronicle., 1957-04-26

Room. In the Aviation Room we
saw Amelia Earheart's plane and
the Wright Brothers thirteenth
plane. In this room we got to
climb into the cockpit of a real
airplane and shift the wing and
stabilizer flaps.
From here we went to the BIZ
cycle hall, where we saw seven
seated bicycles. four seated, and
bicycles with little back wheels
and the front wheel as tail as /
am.
Then we went to the Sun Oil
Exhibit Here we saw what the
earth's insides looks like and how
oil travels and is found in the
ground. We saw how they drill
deep into the ground with bits with
slots in them, on the end of hol-
low pipe. When they drill down
they pump mud down the hollow
pipe at the same time so that
when it comes out the ends of the
pipe it will force all of the dirt
up and they won't have to stop
drilling. We heard also that the
deepest well in the United States
is four miles deep. Now they have
a mechanical device called a
Christmas Tree" with which they
can stop oil from shooting out of
the well. In days long ago, the oil
would shoot up and when it stop
ped they thought the well was
dry. Today we go back to these
wells and pump the oil up out of
them, some of these are still giving
oil today. Nine out of ten wells
are failure and it is a very ex-
pensive thing digging a well. Oil
from these wells is shipped by
tanker or taken underground by
pipe to oil refineries. Some things
made from oil are telephones,
coatings on milk cartons, lipsticks,
and wakes.
Next we saw the Heart, AS We
walked through it we were sup
posed to be little red blood cells
passing through the heart. 1t was
real spoOky on the way through on
the narrow stairways.
On the top floor we saw the Ship
Room. Here we saw many model
ships. There was ship man
operated by remote control. We
operated some models by pushbut-
tons, also. We walked through
what is supposed to look like
captains cabin on the deck of a
ship. We went downstairs and
saw the beautiful marble Benjamin
Franklin Statue.
The last room we visited in the
Franklin Institute was the Bell
Telephone Room. In this room we
were allowed to operate switch
boards telephones, and many other
things pertaining to telephones.
We left the Franklin Institute
and went to the Academy of Natur-
al Sciences. Here we saw many
birds, large animals, from all over
the world, facts about the Della
ware River, minerals of all kinds,
and dinosaurs. We also saw mum
mics, skeletons, and tombs in
which mummies are put.
1t was then 500 p. m, and time
for us to start home. We went to
our bus, loaded, and were on our
way home. At the Delaware Din
ers we stopped and had our din
ner. We arrived home about $3.50
and had enjoyed our trip, very
much. It had been a long day, but
a very nice one! / had enjoyed it
and learned many things.

to the right to leave the coun-
