The Morning Call from Allentown, Pennsylvania • 20

B-6 SUNDAY CALL-CHRONICLE, Allentown, Pa Oct. 13. 1963 Franklin's House 'V Second Loss FIRST College Parley At E. Pilgrim Campus Friday The 21st annual convention of of Open House Event Continuing Historians See Old Foundation Kentucky Tops State Riflemen i 1 torians claimed the so called Kentucky long rifle should be called the Pennsylvania long rifle, because it was manufactured in Pennsylvania. The honor, it was decided, would be decided annually by two matches, winner taking title to the rifle and the governor of the winning state claiming possession of a trophy long rifle for a year.

Last month, at the Daniel Boone homestead, near Reading, Pennsylvania's governor, William Scranton, joined the team to fire one shot at a target on a barn door and hit the bullseye. Kentucky Gov. Bert Combs yesterday did the same, and his slug into the bullseye set off a one-minute fireworks display. He claimed however his target was a great deal smaller than that hit by Gov. Scranton, as he presented trophies to both teams.

erick Augustus Muhlenberg as first speaker of the House, the trouble people of this area gave in the "Hot Water" rebellion. May Restore House Archeological work is under way behind locked gates on the site of Franklin's home. The foundations were fortunately preserved, because a street was run over the site. An effort is being made in Congress to have the house restored, end although no bill to this effect has been passed, plans are being prepared for such restoration. In Germantown members of a woman's committee guided the Lehigh County Historical Society personnel through the Desh-ler Morris house, built by David Deshler, who was a brother of Lehigh County's Adam Deshler and an uncle of Alentown's Col.

David Deshler. This house was the summer White House of President George Washington for two years. Officers of the Germantown Historical Society greeted the local historians at the museum, where several local people joined the Germantown group or subscribed to its magazine. The group also benefited from an itinerary prepared by Mrs. John Y.

Kohl in which many of the homes on Germantown Avenue were identified. This section forms the greatest concentration of historic homes along one street in the United States, Mrs, Kohl said. Luncheon was at Shoyer's Restaurant on Philadelphia's Arch Street, where Boyer presided at a brief program. i 1 fcrmmni iimmntr c' nllWiii miniimi in in-'-ff BOOKS FOR VETERANS Four members of the Allentown Chapter, Aleph Zadek Aleph, look over the first books collected in their drive for reading material for the Veterans Hospital at Valley Forge. Clockwise from left are Stuart Berman, Stuart Shmookler, Jim Ferber and Doug Smith at the Allentown Jewish Community Center.

A door-to-door hunt for more books is planned for Tuesday. The foundation walls of Benjamin Franklin's house in Philadelphia were revealed to tourists for the first time yesterday when 75 members of the Lehigh County Historical Society were invited into a shed beneath which excavations are under way. The unusual opportunity was one of two treats given the local historians during their trip to Philadelphia. The other was a preview of the tour which will be given to all visitors to Independence Hall and its environs in the Quaker City in the future. This tour will follow a new pattern which is designed to agree with the chronological pattern of events in those 18th-century days in this nation's "cradle of liberty." 3-Point Itinerary The trip was the Historical Society's annual pilgrimage.

A three-point itinerary was arranged for the day-long event which began with the departure of two buses and a few private cars from Allentown's Masonic Temple Saturday morning. The first stop was the Desh-ler Morris House in German-town. The second was at the Germantown Historical Society Museum, located like the Desh-ler Morris House on German-town avenue. The climax, however, was the walking tour at; Independence Square. Here the tour began at 2nd and Walnut site of the projected City Tavern and of an information center.

The City Tavern of the 18th Century was the spot at which Continental Congress delegates gathered when they arrived in Philadelphia. It was the center for their informal talks and plans. Good Starting Point Thus it is reasonable, said Dr. Dennis Kurjack, chief of interpretations of the National Park Service, which is in charge of the development of Independence National Historical Park, to begin tours at this point, rather than at Independence Hall in the 500 block of Chestnut where tours begin today. Dr.

Kurjack, a former Allen-tonian and a former pupil of Melville J. Boyer, president of the local historical society, when Boyer taught at Allen High School, accompanied the group on its tour. The tour included all the places familiar to visitors to the historic site, but the guide adapted her descriptions particularly to her audience, as she mentioned Allentown's role in preserving the Liberty Bell and the Christ Church bells, the role of Fred In Stroudsburg Representatives of city, county and state government yesterday were guests of Calvary Council 528, Knights of Columbus, at an open house at the council Columbian Home, 1519 Greenleaf Allentown. The open house was the first of three events this weekend to mark Columbus Day and the opening of the renovated cocktail lounge and meeting rooms. The program ran from 3:30 6 p.m.

At 9 p.m., a large number of members and guests attended a dance in the home, the second of the thrre events. Reception for Clergy Today at 3 p.m. the open house will continue and a reception will be held for members of the clergy of the Allentown Catholic Diocese.

Smrz estimated that 60 per cent of the people who toured Laurel Manor yesterday are potential guests. He noted the 29 guests now at the home enjoyed the open house as much as the visitors.

PER GALLON MJJIIRITJ A "Kentucky" long rifle should have been presented to the Kentucky governor yesterday afternoon, but somebody slipped up the rifle was locked in the vault of a bank.
