'ir_ " PENN’S WEEK _
This is'Pennsylvania Week, and, over the .state, millions ,of words and hundreds of pictures depict ibeextraordinarily high place the state has taken in the industrial, financial, agrifcultural, scenic, scientific and cultural "affairs of the ■United States. It is, indeed, the Keystone State, without which the rest of the nation wotdd suffer more than is generally realized.
But Pennsylvania means even more than all that. Several years ago, we were visiting on Long Island, near famed Jones Beach. We stopped at a gasoline station not two blocks from that strip of sand. Noting the Pennsylvania license on our car, the proprietor asked in which .part of Pennsylvania we lived. When \be •replied the western part,' west of Pittsburgh, he sighed and said that he wished that he could come. back to those ‘hills of home’. He hadn’t been back for over twenty years.
‘ Surprised, we motioned to the ocean so close by and remarked that many people would like to live so close to the sea. However, he said he. never went pear the beach and would trade the whole of Long Island for one foot-hill of Pennsylvania.
During the war, Sewickleyans and Pennsylvanians were all over the globe, but with very few exceptions, they’re all back, finding no place in the world a better place to live than our Pennsylvania.
That’s the best tribute anyone could pay to our community and state during Pennsylvania Week.
BICYCLE RIDER HIT BY CAR
Charles Richardson, Jr., of 868 Fourth Avenue, Coraopolis, formerly of Har-baugh Street, Sewickley, was brought to the Sewickley Valley Hospital at 3:04 o’clock Saturday morning by Peter Marchetti of Groveton. He had been hit by a car on Route 51 near the Standard Steel Spring works in Coraopolis. Mr. Richardson had been riding east on the road toward Coraopolis, when lie was hit and the car that hithim came to a stop on the road. Then Marchetti’s car came up the road and when he saw the two cars parked on the road lie swerved to pass them. He was half-way around them when he was blinded by die lights of a car coming the other way. He stated to police that he then hit the bicycle rider also, Apparently, die first car to hit him must have not pulled him from the road and Uiat is why Marchetti’s car bumped him too.
Mr. Richardson’s injuries were said to be a fracture of the left ankle and c{¡illusions and abrasions of the head. * He was kept at the hospital even after the cast had been placed on his ankle, even though lie could have been discharged on Tuesday.
