Later, beneficial wild life of all sorts was protected by law, and in most instanees increased gradually under such protec- tion, even though, the hunting population increased rapidly. The Department of Forestry purchased a tract of about 4,000 aeres near Lykens, and the only game birds or animals remaining thereon and nearby territory at that time were a few ruffed grouse (native pheasants) and cotton tailed rabbits. In 1918 the Game Commission established a game refuge of about 1,800 acres on the State forest land in question, in which were stocked more than 50 deer, quite a number of wild turkeys, ring-neck pheasants, squirrels, varying hares (snowshoe rabbits). etc .. which will gradually increase and overflow to the surrounding territory. No hunting is permitted within the refuge at any time. With proper protection of game and forests, the Valley and adjacent territory in years to come will undoubtedly again supply a sufficient amount of game to serve as an incentive to take the sportsmen of that territory into the open to enjoy a day with dog and gun, get away from their daily routine of life, and come back better fitted to take up their daily toil. However, the wild life resources of the Valley can never again be expected to furnish a meat supply, as was the case when our an- cestors came to this territory, although deer will undoubtedly become more plentiful than prior to cutting our timber, as nothing, outside of adequate laws properly enforced, could be more favorable to these animals than the sort of growth that follows the lumberman and forest fires.
Various forms of wild life are now extinet and will pro- bably never again appear in any number in this section, largely because the territory is too densely populated, or because they have vanished from the face of the earth. It is hoped, however, that black bears may become part of the fanna in the territory surrounding Lykens-Williams Valley when natural conditions are again favorable.

ROADS IN THE VALLEY
Through the Lykens-Williams Valley courses the Pennsyl- vania State Highway. This road is of the good examples being copied by many states, daily. The construction is of concrete, however at this time the concrete seetion is made as far as Rife, Pa. foundation throughout the valley is rapidly progressing and it is estimated that in five years the permanent eement road will be finally laid down. The road begins, or enters the valley rather, at Millersburg, Pa., and touches the following towns; Millersburg, Rife, Elizabethville, Loyalton, Big Run, Lykens, Wiconisco, Dayton, Williamstown, Greenfields, Sheridan, Tower- city, from where it continues to Pottsville. The two principal city connections through this valley are Harrisburg and Potts- ville.

Water.
Each town maintains its own water supply, but not as a borough property. These reservoirs are controlled by indivi- duals, who have constructed fine supply dams and convey the water to the respective homes at very reasonable rates. The water obtained in any of the towns in this valley is wholly spring water. The reservoirs are located back in the mountains. where springs and small brooks are diverted into well built dams and then conveyed to the homes. Sufficient health patrols cover the water sheds regularly at stipulated times of the year, thus guaranteeing to the publie the best of sanitary conditions. In short the water of the various towns in the valley is of the best to be had anywhere and has been very favorably commen- ted upon by critie analyses on several occasions.
Gas.
The Williamstown Gas Company operating and manufac- turing water gas at Lykens, supplies this modern convenience to the following towns-Lykens, Wiconisco, Williamstown. The Gas is conveyed for lighting and heating-cooking purposes and is one of the very appreciative services to these towns.

HIGH SCHOOLS IN LYKENS-WILLIAMS VALLEY.
There are very few sections of similar area in the state that can boast of the high school, facilities provided in this valley. All the high schools-six in number-are rated by the state department as first grade high schools. They are located at Williamstown, Wiconisco, Lykens, Elizabethville, Millersburg, and Berrysburg. The school at Berrysburg is a rural commun- ity vocational high school which receives federal and state aid to the extent of two-thirds of the salaries of the teachers, to- gether with other appropriations. Academic, home-making and agricultural courses are offered. Home-making courses are also given in Williamstown and Wiconisco. Commercial courses are offered in Williamstown and Millersburg. Physical Training is an important feature of the work in Millersburg. A number of the high schools have orchestras. These high schools have formed a league for the promotion of inter-school athletics and debating. All the schools have a greatly increased enrollment this year .- By Prof. F. E. Shambaugh, Dauphin County Super- intendent of Public Schools.
The schools at Tower City and Porter Township are also rated alike with the valley to the State, embodyving the same equipments and advanced courses.

MILLERSBURG GUN CLUB.
At the extreme Southeast end of this historic Lykens-Will- iams Valley, where the Wieoniseo Creek empties into the beautiful Susquehanna river, is located one of the leading Gun Clubs of Pennsylvania. This club's equipment is up to date in every respect : a one and one-half frame Club house, with fire-place and spacious porches, on the side, is located in a maple groove, which is a beautiful recreation park. There ideal Liggett Traps are located to throw the targets, out over the water, with the sky as a clear background.
The Millersburg Gun Club and Game Protective Associ- ation was organized August 13, 1915, the object of which was to fraternize the lovers of rod, gun and "all out doors," the suc- cess of which was evinced by the membership roll, which reached almost the three-hundred mark in its banner year.
As a game protective association, it liberates almost annually, Quail, Grouse, Ringneck Pheasants and rabbits, to restock the game fields. It feeds Game birds when the ground is covered with snow and assists in investigations of illegal shoot- ing of game and helps to protect same.
The present officers are:
Dr. J. W. Starr, President H. S. Gilbert. Secretary
B. Nimmons, Vice President R. Musser, Treasurer H. Forney, Captain Board of Governors

LYKENS VALLEY SUMMER-RAMBO APPLE.
The famous Summer-Rambo apple, now grown in very many sections of this state and county was discovered in the Lykens Valley. This tree bearing the fruit was first found on the Benjamin Reigle farm near the Reigle church about six miles from Millersburg and is one of the ehoieest varieties of the present markets. The discovery occurred over a hundred years ago and is one of the cherished bits of aneestral infor- mation handed down through the Jerry Weaver family of Millersburg.
To those who have not known this before it is well to re- member, as well as display great pride in knowing that each and every Summer-Rambo dates back to our beautiful valley and has been grafted, transplanted, raised and developed from this humble beginning until now, it has become one of the nation's choieest fruits.

SPORTS OF THE VALLEY
Here in the Lykens-Williams Valley are followed and in- dulged in many of the diversified sports of the country. Base- ball, Football, Tennis, Basketball, Hunting, Fishing, Trap- shooting, Trapping, Swimming and Skating. The leading amusement or commercialized sport, however, is Baseball. In this end the Twin County League predominates. This league is formed of the various towns in the valley and heated antag- onism creates a valley-wide interest in the sport.
The pennant winner for the season 1921 was the Williams- town team.
Football is played in nearly all the towns and with a few exceptions is confined wholly to local high schools. There being however pieked teams of some of the towns who engage o". casionally in hotly contested games. Tennis, Basketball, etc .. have organized team-followers and neatly kept courts and halls offer at various seasons of the year real live participation in those sports. Track-Meets are frequently held during the summer months and are participated in by each town. During the season 1921 Lykens-Wieonisco Football team attained the distinction of being the champions of Dauphin and York Counties. An illustration of this team appearing on page 225 in this volume, along with the personnel, speaks truly for itself. On the following pages are given the line-up of most of the teams, with their summary for the season of 1921, and they surely have a record to be proud of.

The L. & W. A. C. Foot-Ball team has set a record never before attained by any team in the Valley. Each player was well trained to his respective position by the excellent coach, Mr. Malcolm W. Orr whose timely judgement and keen know- ledge of Foot-Balldom was well examplified. Under the man- agement of William L. Witmer Proprietor of the Auraror Pool Parlor, the team could have attained no better laurels then the Champions of Dauphin and York Counties. Which title they so nobly carried off.

LYKENS-WILLIAMS VALLEY HISTORY
TOWER CITY SWIMMING POOL
Tower City and Porter Township Swimming Pool and Park Playground.
Very unfortunately it was impossible to have a picture of this beautiful spot made, due to the weather. Since this vol- umn was compiled during the winter months of 1921-1922. The Author, however has visited the place and must confess that here is the making for a real honest recreation site. The pool in itself is one of the very beautiful to behold and the in- provements proposed to be made by the commission during the Spring of 1922, certainly will afford seashore pleasures here in the mountains. The entire site is comprised of nineteen acres. The shrubbery and timber is chiefly Spruce, the contour of the hills is magnificent while the pool reflects to one the mes- sage of mirth and joy. Towercity and Porter Township as well as the surrounding territory can well be proud of so exact and ideal a site and stream for the purpose they pursue. It is the natural gift of mother earth.
