What astounds us is the source of their color scales. Everything on earth and even p there in the sky is tapped for a nnlqne range of hnes and shades. There's been nail polish of Lightning Pink and lipstick of Fire Engine Red. A current string of automobiles offers no less than 40 different color com binations from dainty ta blind ing leather and paint. (Color TV is not yet featured la the iNortnwesw.

War Victory Demonstration Levels Forest , HARRISBURG m The Penn rylvan'ia Museum Commission re ports toe most notable war vic tory demonstration ever made in the Commonwealth followed de struction of the Spanish fleet dur ing the Spanian-Amerkaa War. To celebrate the victory, young iters of Berks County, gathered at a traditional meeting place on mountain to push "the Rocking Stone" a huge boulder that tee tered as if on a pivot The tradition was that the stone would make strange sounds like a crying man. Youngsters had pushed the stone following vic tories in the Mexican and Civil Wars. However, the youngsters were a little too enthusiastic in 1898. The boulder rocked over into the valley i below, plowing a path through the mountain forest that can still be seen. . - j K4MCCttCCCtCW HEALTHFUL : r REFRESHIN BLM KOCC KOA KOIN KGW 4 5 Godfrey Yulo Small One lYulo 8how IVule Show UmiIi IMmiili .
