X-' x X ? f 4 A tree, when climatic conditions are favorable, receives its food primarily from the rains and sunshine and grows strong and tall. But under unfavorable conditions of draught and dark days, it does not die. Its roots reach deep down into the moist earth for its food and keeps living and growing. Patriotism, nationalism and love of America, like the tree, flourish when conditions of the country are favorable for its people's success. But in dark days of wars, depressions and catastrophes, we, like the tree, must reach deep down into the roots of our Country, our home town, in order to keep America alive and to keep her strong. To love our Country, we must love our home town, and to love our home town, we must know it. .. - - ' - '-,.a- .- -f ,-' ' . an--.ff 1' - .. -. - ,s - - ,,, - V -.K v ,AA V x ' Ap' r V, 5 -, 5 :IE f ? ,, i.., l ' - , -1 V Q1 W - x af 1 - , f L ,a-,fa X s H' Ll 0 I

Acknowledgements for help of various kinds are due many people. We are under obligations to those citizens who prepared histories, submitted pictures, gave us facts, dates and advice. The Press Club is very appreciative of the kindness of the Burgess and the Members of our Council and the Borough Secretary, Mr. Hicks, who, no matter what we desired, complied with our wishes. And to the Police Force and Borough employees we are grateful for their help. To the Pitcairn Board of Education who aided in every possible way, to the Adminis- trators, Mr. C. A. Bair and Mr. G. A. Fails, and to all School employees who aided, we express our thanks and appreciation. We are indebted to our local newspapers, The Observer and The Pitcairn Express, for their kindness in giving the book publicity and in the submitting of pictures and engravings. To our advertisers, who through their generosity helped make this book a reality, we are indebted. We express our thanks to J. Lloyd Grimm and Orville Grimm for the selling and distrib- uting of books, for the use of their Window in displaying old pictures, and for advertising the book. To Mrs. William M. Smith for her time in copy reading and proof reading all histories. The Churches, Organizations and Post Office were responsible for the writing of their own histories. In each case they worked hard in compiling facts and putting these facts into his- tories. While space does not permit us to list the names of these people, their participation is acknowledged and appreciated. However, we must mention a few.
