POTTER, QUEER For our project on the hill Paradise'), we felt we needed a real rugged vehicle that would serve as a truck and tractor and for general transportation purposes to and from the area. So we shopped around a little and traded Dodge for a a a Jeep pickup truck with four-wheel drive. Our good friends, Dick Reitz and Bus Rose of R. R.
Ford Sales Port Allegany (good advertisers) had the truck we needed. "That thing'11 climb right up a Bus told us. Early this week when we had the Jeep in for a check-up, the boys called upon to pound out a fender, brought about by too close a contact with a very solid maple tree. "Gosh, I didn't really expect him to TRY climbing that tree!" remarked one of the boys. To whom it may concern: An excellent cleaning on the courthouse square folHe lowing the visit of the carnival during the past week.
Things were a beehive of activity Saturday night at 11:00 o'clock or so and by 8:00 o'clock the next morning, everything was gone.

"Time is how! Even a coyote appears now and Local schools will open next week. We have had itPotter County fair, Shriners' parade, carnival, and other events. Now coming up is Labor Day, which marks the end of vacation days for many. Goldenrod is in bud and soon roadsides will be gorgeous in purple and gold, and very soon autumn leaves will add to the beauty of the mountains in the Black Forest of Penn's Woods. Old Sol came up this morning at 6:23.
He will retire at 7:40 this evening. Elm blight is creating havoc in Coudersport as in many other places. It is most unfortunate and sad. The great trees, graceful and beautiful, that have shaded SO many streets, some for more than a century, are dying one after another. Many of the lifeless trees have been removed and more must be as a safety measure for the public.
Birds loved the elms, especially the oriole, and many hammock nests were built in their branches, high above pavements and walks. Not only in towns like Coudersport, but along country roads, elms added to the beauty of the landscape. The fine trees flourished along the Allegheny River and other streams over a large area. Attempts were made at some points to spray the monarchs but this method of treatment is so expensive it is prohibitive, even if successful. The sad truth is that the American elm is on its way out.
We must find other trees for shade and the oriole must find a new home site to rear its young. The story is sad but it is true. Animal wild life in Potter County is abundant and varied--more SO than most people think, even the natives. Everyone knows there are thousands of deer, hundreds of black bears, and scores of beavers in in various valleys. all know of the wild turkey flocks, pheasants, partridges, red, black, gray and flying squirrels, raccoons, woodchucks, foxes, porcupines, cottontail and snowshoe rabbits, and possibly others.
Among the comparatively new comers are the opossums, not particularly desirable, but they are here. Birds are here in great variety and in recent years Evening Grosbeaks have made winter visits to feeding tables, much to the delight of bird lovers. Some years they have come in flocks of hundreds. For a few years the very beautiful Cardinals have appeared here to add to wild life color. Fortunate are the people of the Black Forest of Potter County in such great variety of animal life.
HuckstersA half century or more ago there lots of them in this section but today- Well there are no hucksters and half the population does not know what a huckster is. A long time ago Golly uncle, Dan Collins, at Whitesville, who wast a huckster. His was buying meat, butter, eggs, potatoes, and other articles of food, and hauling his load to Galeton or Austin boom lumber towns, with horses and wagon. At either town there was ready sale for his goods. That was the way he made his living.
The housewives of the sawmill workers and the operators of lumber camps extended a welcome to the hucksters and their loads of food. Butter was packed in tubs of 40 or 50 pounds, beef sold by halves or quarters and potatoes, cabbage and turnips in large quantities at the camps that might have as many as one hundred hungry men to feed. The men worked hard for long hours and they were hearty eaters. Lumber jobbers, who served good food, well cooked and plenty of it, earned a reputation for being good feeders, and they were able to get the pick of the best woods workers, known in that day as woodhicks. It is certain the hucksters worked hard to earn their livelihood as did the men who fell the gigantic hemlocks, peeled the bark, cut the logs and transported them to the big sawmills.
The demand for food made a market for the products of the farm. Now in 1963 the picture is changed. Gone are the woodhicks, the lumber camps, the horse drawn wagons andThe hucksters. Charley Johnson is a good gardener. He has some fine tomatoes.
Golly wanted to buy some of them. Charley did not want pay. After an argument Charlie agreed to accept pay but how He delivered the fruit to this office when Golly was absent and presented a billfive cents.

OPEN EVENINGS 'TIL 9:00 WAS a spreading chestnut near the shop of Ed Hovey, who blacksmithed at Ulysses, for many years. When blacksmith work all the small towns became more or less a lost art Ed Hovey, no longer young, turned his talent to other lines than shoeing horses and welding broken links in log chains. No doubt Ed Hovey welcomed the change from his regular occupation to the making of certain garden tools and cutlery. Smithy Hovey made knives in great variety for all purposes one could imagine. His butcher knives, bread knives, paring knives and one for cutting seed potatoes at planting time, were keen instruments.
A box fashioned of wood contained a supply of cutlery and maker at times came to Coudersport to dispose of his wares. doubt, truth could be known, there knives in lathe use in Ulysses and vicinity to this day that were fashioned at the forge and on the anvil of E. Hovey, Ulysses artist. Some folks were concerned when a carnival. was set up for business on the Court House Square.
They feared the lawn would be trampled, grass killed and the ground littered. Be it said to the credit of those in charge, that after a week of operation of the rides and sales stands, that last Monday morning there was scarcely a trace to show that the lawn had had unusual use. This week all roads are leading to Smethport and the McKean County fair that opened yesterday. "School days, school days, Dear old golden days-" Due to arrive Wednesday. GERMANIA T.

Watch your driving when you pass by the scene of an accident. Stopping suddenly or crawling along to gape only adds to the conflict, especially on high speed roads.
