(upbeat music) And from Landmark.
And Landmark is A, a savings and loan, B, a bank, C, a leading mortgage lender, or D, all of the above.
The correct answer is D, all of the above.
People to people, it's just a better way to bank.
Now, here's the host of "The Pennsylvania Game," Lynn Hinds.
(audience applauds) - Hi.
Hi there.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, thank you very much.
Welcome in our audience to the State College Woman's Club, and to Scout Troop 52 from Walker Township.
We're glad to have them.
Glad to have you, too.
And glad to have some distinguished panelists again to play along and test their wits with you at home.
He is a writer and an extraordinary teacher, Bernie Asbell.
(audience applauds) An extraordinary meteorologist and television predictor of weather, Fred Gadomski.
(audience applauds) And an extraordinary television journalist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Lynn Cullen.
(audience applauds) That was my word of the week, extraordinary.
I had to use that.
But we're delighted to have you all.
And they're all well-informed panelists who are all keenly competitive.
However, are they all fisher persons?
That's the question.
Let's watch.
- [Announcer] On March 9th, 1970, Governor Raymond P Shafer signed into law an act giving us an official state fish.
Is the state fish of Pennsylvania, A, brook trout, B, large mouth bass, C, muskellunge, or D, sunfish?
- Now, I believe, Bernie Asbell, your choice first, that all of those are among the 170 kinds of fish in Pennsylvania.
But which one did they make the official state fish?
- We couldn't change this to a religious question, could we?
(audience laughs) - Well, I, you know, so many people come, President Eisenhower, President Carter, everybody came here for trout.
Let's make it the brook trout, sure.
- Okay.
That's true.
- I know.
- That's true.
Fred?
- I had that for dinner the other night.
- [Hinds] Did you really?
- Good a reason as any to choose A, trout.
- [Hinds] I've gone fishing for trout and caught lots of sunfish.
I don't know.
Lynn?
- Holy mackerel.
- [Hinds] Holy mackerel is not one of the choices, my dear.
- I'm floundering here.
- [Hinds] Yes.
- Let's see.
Okay.
By watching "The Pennsylvania Game," I found out that it's true George Washington and Gouverneur Morris no less went trout fishing in Valley Forge, right?
- [Hinds] That's right.
That's right.
They did.
- So that's why I'm going with B, large mouth bass.
- Because that's what they, I'm not sure I understand that, but what is the right answer?
- [Announcer] The answer is A, brook trout.
The act said that the brook trout is the only trout native to the state.
It's the most beautiful and widely distributed member of the salmon family and is a choice of most epicures.
The brook trout is found in many Pennsylvania streams and lakes.
- That was up at Lake Erie.
Have you ever seen so many fisherman shoulder to shoulder in your life going after those?
I bet you didn't know the trout was a member of the salmon family, did you?
- No, I didn't.
But I know that Gouverneur Morris caught a muskellunge.
- Did he?
- At Valley Forge, oh, yeah, he did.
- [Hinds] Caught a muskellunge?
- No doubt.
- I didn't know that, from Senator Muskie of the same name.
You do well sometimes on Pennsylvania inventors, and Pennsylvania inventors, we have discovered, have invented some truly remarkable inventions.
And we've got another one for you right here.
- [Announcer] The work of Christopher Sholes opened the doors of America's workplace for many women.
Born in Mooresburg, Montour County, Sholes received a patent in 1868 for the first practical model of something.
Was Sholes' invention A, the telephone switchboard, B, the typewriter, C, the cash register, or D, the Dictaphone?
- I thought it was those insoles for shoes.
Isn't that, but that's not one of the choices.
1868, Christopher Sholes, Montour County, which is in the center part of the state, something that got a lot of jobs for women.
And those are your four choices.
And he actually did this, whatever it was.
Fred Gadomski, do you know the name Christopher Sholes?
- No, I have absolutely no idea who he was.
- [Hinds] Well, make something up.
- I'm going to.
That's no problem.
In meteorology, we do it all the time.
- [Hinds] I know.
- Okay.
(audience laughs) I think that that I like the cash register, C. - [Hinds] Okay, and that makes, you know, 1868, that was about the time, yeah.
Lynn Cullen?
- Having been one of millions of women who have made their living at one point as a secretary, having been appended to an IBM, I bet it's the typewriter.
- The typewriter.
Okay.
Bernie?
- I thought Mr. Sholes had invented the corn pad.
- [Hinds] Yeah.
- But the, in Philadelphia in, little later than '68, they exhibited the first typewriter at a great exposition in, I think the 200th, our first hundredth anniversary of, whatever, 1876.
Typewriter, B.
- I see.
- You're right, Liz.
- I think I see.
Let's see here.
- [Announcer] The answer is B, the typewriter.
His daughter, Lillian, may have been the first female typist.
Early typewriters have a certain primitive look, it's true, but looked fairly modern compared with the Christopher Sholes first model, now in the Smithsonian.
- My grandmother had a sewing machine that looked like that, the treadle model of the type.
Maybe that was the first automated typewriter, or first, you know, where you treadled instead of, I don't know.
Bernie, nice to have you here.
You're doing a, you're doing pretty well today.
You've got two outta two so far.
- Well, geez.
- [Hinds] It's a great start.
It's hard to improve on two outta two.
- Well, a good poker player always knows if you win the first two, three hands, you're, it's - - [Hinds] It's blood from then on and - - Well, no, it's gonna be disaster before the end of the show.
- Oh, I see.
I see.
Fred, it's nice to have you back to "The Pennsylvania Game."
- [Fred] Glad to be here.
- [Hinds] How are things going with you in general?
- Well, the weather is fine today.
It may not be when this show is shown, but that's not my responsibility.
- Is Pennsylvania an especially hard state to predict weather?
'Cause I notice so much stuff comes up.
It depends on which way it goes and how fast it goes, and?
- Every place I've ever been - - [Hinds] Is the hardest.
- The locals say is the hardest place to predict the weather.
- [Hinds] Sure.
- And Pennsylvania's just as hard as the rest.
- Yeah, you do a nice job.
- Well, thank you.
- You do a nice job.
Lynn Cullen, it's so nice to have you back again, too.
- Thank you.
- [Hinds] And you're - - Nice to be here.
- [Hinds] You're gonna beat Bernie this time, I have a feeling, even though you're behind by one question, but only one.
- We'll see.
- This one is down your way.
Again, we go to Pittsburgh for the next question.
And you know all about Pittsburgh stuff, don't you?
Let's see.
- [Announcer] Captain Alfred E Hunt founded the Pittsburgh Reduction Company in 1888.
Using a formula invented by Charles Hall, they were the first to make a new product.
The product was so successful it changed the name of the company.
Was the product A, chrome, B, aluminum, C, glass or D, paint?
- Hm.
Captain Alfred E Hunt, 1888.
I think he was a captain in Civil War is what, why he was called Captain Hunt.
Charles Hall came up with his product, and it changed the name of their company when they started to make it.
Was the product chrome, aluminum, glass, or paint?
Ms. Cullen, it's your turn to start.
- I never heard of this guy.
- [Hinds] Okay.
That means you're gonna guess.
- I never heard of him.
I mean, I'm just saying that because I'm going, I'm about to guess.
- [Hinds] Okay.
- Chrome is a relative.
Chrome or aluminum.
It's chrome or aluminum.
Do you suppose that company became Alcoa and?
- [Hinds] You're going chrome?
- Oh wait, if it became Alcoa, it's aluminium.
- [Hinds] You're going with aluminium, okay, all right.
(audience laughs) Now, you know there are a lot of paint and glass companies also in Pittsburgh.
I'm not sure we can narrow it down, too, but, Bernie, what do you think here?
- Yeah, I wish we had watched Lynn do that a little more.
- [Hinds] That was well done.
- That was really well done.
- [Hinds] Whatever it was, it was well done.
- Yeah, I recall Pittsburgh being a great name in glass, and I will, if I had a reduction company, I would change it to a glass company.
- [Hinds] She now says PPG rather than Alcoa.
- [Cullen] Right.
- [Hinds] Fred, are you confused?
I am.
- I'm totally confused.
But since Bernie is one of the only true heroes left.
- [Hinds] That's right.
He's certainly one of my heroes.
- I'm gonna go with C. - But I'm not sure I'd go with him on his answer just 'cause he's a hero of mine 'cause he might well be wrong.
Let's see if he is.
- [Announcer] The answer is B, aluminum.
Under the crude plant that was the Pittsburgh Reduction Company grew a modern headquarters for the company Alcoa.
Although aluminum is the most plentiful metal on earth, it was too expensive for manufacturing until Captain Hunt took a chance on an idea by a young man named Charles Hall.
- See, if you'd stick with your convictions, Miss Cullen.
It was indeed Alcoa, and it was indeed aluminum.
- [Fred] Lynn is now my hero.
(audience laughs) - She's just tied the score up, too.
Bernie and Lynn both have two.
Fred's only one behind.
Whole panel, close game.
Let's hear a little bit of appreciation for that panel.
(audience applauds) They're, the first aluminum that they made was put out on Thanksgiving Day, and they said, "We're very thankful" and made a ton of money.
Mystery Pennsylvanian, three clues.
Here's the first one, and if you know, panel, the first one, write it on line number one.
See if you can guess this on the first clue.
In 1960, he was the Hickock Athlete of the Year, and "Sports Illustrated" named him Sportsman of the Year.
A national Associated Press poll named him Athlete of the Decade for the 1960s.
1960 Hickock Athlete of the Year, Sportsman of the Year, National Associated Press poll called him Athlete of the Decade for the 1960s.
There'll be two more clues if you didn't get it on that first one.
Don't panic.
Let's go up to the northern part of the state this time while our panel is puzzling and visit something that is a natural phenomenon that lots of you will know about, I think.
- [Announcer] Just outside Coudersport, the county seat of Potter County, stands an amazing work of nature.
Thousands of summer travelers have visited this site to see A, a natural bridge, B, a petrified forest, C, an ice mine or D, a meteorite crater.
- Now, don't tell, audience.
I know some of you know, but let's see if Bernie knows.
He may have to guess this unless he's been up that way to Coudersport, county seat of Potter County way up north.
- I can't resist.
They could all be, I just can't resist an ice mine.
- [Hinds] An ice mine.
- When something stays where sunshine doesn't come, you can stay frozen all year round.
And let's go with ice mine.
- Which one can't you resist, Fred Gadomski?
- Well, see, obviously, because, actually, we did a feature for "Weather World" about this place - - [Hinds] Oh, he knows.
- Where winter, but it wasn't up this way.
- [Hinds] It wasn't.
- No, but I heard that the best ones are in north central Pennsylvania.
- [Hinds] Did you?
- So, I'm gonna go with C. - Miss Cullen.
They could both be bluffing.
They sometimes do.
- No, I know, but I was intending to go with C myself because you said way up north.
- I did, in northern Pennsylvania.
That doesn't mean it was very far north, but northern Pennsylvania.
- Well, look, I grasp at whatever I can hang on.
You said way up north, and I thought ice.
- [Hinds] They have natural bridges - - I never heard of it.
- And meteorites way up north, as far as I know.
Let's see if they're all right or all wrong.
- [Announcer] The answer is C, an ice mine.
Discovered near the turn of the century, these summer ice formations appear to be a freak of nature.
Piles of broken rock along the hillsides allow the cold winter air to penetrate deep into the earth.
Since rock is a good insulator, the ground remains cold into the summer.
Like a sweating drink, warm, moist summer air condenses, forming large ice structures.
In Potter County, Jack Frost has built a summer palace.
- Yeah, Fred's gonna have to explain that to me.
They have ice in the summer, but not in the winter.
- I wish I could explain it, but I have to correct something.
- [Hinds] Yeah.
- Air does not condense.
- [Hinds] It doesn't.
- No, the water vapor in it condenses.
- [Hinds] I see.
- And that's just me being persnickety.
- Well, that's certainly an important distinction that I certainly would hate to get wrong on that.
- [Fred] Yeah, you're right.
- We'll go back and correct that question and rewrite that.
The air does not condense, the water vapor in it.
If I were watching, could I tell the difference?
- [Fred] If air condensed, you'd know the difference.
- I see.
You know the difference between Waterloo, New York and Boalsburg, Pennsylvania?
That's an excellent question.
- [Announcer] The towns of Waterloo, New York and Boalsburg, Pennsylvania both make the same claim.
What is their common claim?
A, invention of fountain pens, B, birthplace of Memorial Day, C, badminton first played or D, the origin of bubble gum.
- [Hinds] Fred Gadomski, chew on this one and see which one you come up with here.
- I'm not going answer.
- [Hinds] Waterloo.
- Bubble gum.
I really am not.
I happen to know for a fact, or at least I think I know for a fact.
- [Hinds] Think you know for a fact.
- That Boalsburg, at least, thinks it's the birthplace of Memorial Day.
It may very well be.
- [Hinds] What Waterloo, New York thinks.
Yeah, okay, Lynn.
- Again, I'm not following your lead.
You're losing to me at the moment.
There's no reason why I'm should.
I just sort of felt that that seems like a, I don't know, B.
Birthplace of Memorial Day, I don't know.
- [Hinds] Okay, Bernie.
- Well, Waterloo, New York makes that claim.
I don't know if Boalsburg does or not.
- [Hinds] Well, I tell ya, don't, didn't, don't they claim to make fountain pens in Waterloo, New York also?
It seems to me that they make a very famous, let's see what the answer is here.
- [Announcer] The answer is B, the birthplace of Memorial Day.
On July 4th, 1864, three women went to the Boalsburg Cemetery to honor graves of their Civil War relatives.
Later, they decided to place flowers on all veterans' graves.
The following year, the whole community joined in and Memorial Day was born.
A presidential proclamation says that Waterloo, New York started Memorial Day in 1866.
But folks in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania say they beat that by two years.
- Yeah, that's right.
We beat it by two years in Pennsylvania.
So, there you are.
Score, well, all right.
(audience applauds) Still close.
Bernie and Lynn each have four, and Fred is one behind with three.
And boy, anybody could win this one.
Here's clue number two for our mystery Pennsylvanian.
They're all gonna get this, I got a feeling.
Today he's known as something of an immortal in his sport, and he's also known for his TV commercials and for his vast army of fans.
Clue number one was 1960 Hickock Athlete of the Year, "Sports Illustrated" Sportsman of the Year and Athlete of the Decade for the 1960s.
And today he's known as an immortal in his sport, for his TV commercials and for his, I've never heard so many scribblings of things, vast army of fans, scribblings in my life.
Let's see what the next, oh, by the way, if you have a question for us or wanna just write us a letter, write to "The Pennsylvania Game," Wagner Annex, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802.
We'd be just delighted to hear from you.
Next question.
Well, next question is about a Black man in the Civil War and something he did or didn't do.
Let's listen.
- [Announcer] T Morris Chester, born in Harrisburg in 1843, was the only Black correspondent to cover the Civil War.
He had many accomplishments.
Which of these did T Morris Chester not become?
A, first Black to practice before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, B brigadier general, Louisiana State Militia, C, ambassador to Liberia or D, the first Black buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
- Okay, T Morris Chester, the only Black correspondent to cover the Civil War.
This is a journalistic question, Ms. Cullen, so it's appropriate we start with you.
Which of these did he not do?
He did three of them but not one of them.
- Wow.
- [Hinds] Kind of impressive list.
- Yeah, it's a very impressive list.
So, I've just gotta sort of pull one out of there.
I, the one, the brigadier general of Louisiana State Militia is sort of strange.
It's too strange.
- [Hinds] It's kind of far out, yeah.
- So, I figure it's gotta be right.
- [Hinds] Sure, if you get far out enough, you win, right?
- And I believe that if he'd done any of these things, he might be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
I guess - - [Hinds] None of the above.
- Oh, it's A or C, I bet, and I'll go with A, and I also bet I'm wrong.
- [Hinds] First, he was not the first Black president, but was the other, okay.
- Yeah, I don't know.
- Bernie.
- B is so strange and I'm gonna vote it strange.
- You think he was not brigadier general?
- He was not a brigadier general in the Louisiana State Militia.
- [Hinds] Okay.
Fred?
- I don't think he was ambassador to Liberia.
- [Hinds] You don't?
- No, I don't.
- [Hinds] Well.
- I've always felt that way.
(audience laughs) - I'm gonna pick D just to have D covered, and let's see what the answer is, anyway.
- [Announcer] The answer is D, first Black buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
T Morris Chester was brigadier general, Louisiana State Militia during Reconstruction, Ambassador to Liberia and first Black to practice before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
He is buried in an unmarked grave at Harrisburg Lincoln Cemetery.
- D should have been.
I mean, that should be correct for all the others that he did.
They all, that's the first time I think that all three panelists have picked a different answer and all three have been wrong if I'm not mistaken.
- [Fred] You were right, Lynn.
- So, well, I just a lucky guess on my part.
What can I tell you?
Like Pennsylvania outdoors?
There's lots of things to do in Pennsylvania outdoors.
Here's one more for you.
- [Announcer] Pennsylvania artist Ann Vandervelde does beautiful botanical paintings.
Here, she's sketching an orchid.
Can Anne Vandervelde find orchids without leaving Pennsylvania?
In other words, how many varieties of orchids are native to Pennsylvania?
Is the number A, none, B, only one, C, 55 or D, 30,000?
- Well, how many orchids are native to Pennsylvania, Bernie Asbell?
How many of you, how many varieties have you counted in your outdoor walks?
I know you do walk from your house to your car occasionally.
How many?
- Since I'm a lifelong admirer of orchids, I'm gonna choose B 'cause it's the only one that has the word only in the answer.
- [Hinds] That's true.
It does, only.
- See.
- [Hinds] Okay, so, only B. Fred.
- I think to be provocative and to protest the question.
- [Hinds] Yeah.
- I'm going to do A.
- [Hinds] None.
- Absolutely none.
- [Hinds] There are no orchids native to Pennsylvania.
Okay, that's an interesting guess.
We have a B and an A.
Miss Cullen?
- Well, you're gonna have two of one, but I don't know which, because, I mean I don't think there's 55 growing around here, and 30,000, really.
- [Hinds] Seems like a large number, doesn't it, yeah?
- Yeah.
Watch, it'll be 30,000.
I think, Bernie, I'm throwing in my lot with you.
I'll go with only one.
- [Bernie] Good, let's go together.
- The panel has spelled Bab.
- Neither of them.
- [Hinds] Congratulations, and it spells the same backwards as forwards.
- [Announcer] The answer is C, 55.
The orchid is the largest plant family in the world with some 30,000 varieties, 55 of which are native to Pennsylvania.
Here in Wattsburg Fen, one of Western Pennsylvania Conservancy's fragile wetlands, many wildflowers thrive, including some of Pennsylvania's native orchids.
- It's true, there are 30,000, it's the largest plant family in the world, and there are 30,000 varieties of orchids worldwide, 55 of which are here in Pennsylvania.
So, you guys have learnt something, as they say.
Let's see if you know anything about Pennsylvania geography and political history.
It's a county question.
You'll love it.
- [Announcer] Only one Pennsylvania county is named in honor of a Native American woman.
Is that county A, Venango, B, Montour, C, Tioga or D, Juniata?
- Why, it sounds to me, Fred Gadomski, like it could be any one of those four.
- It does.
- [Hinds] The only one named after a Native American woman.
- But if it is a woman's name, the prettiest of them would be D. - [Hinds] Juniata, yeah.
- And so, I'm choosing that for aesthetic reasons.
- [Hinds] The beauty of it, right, Juniata.
It's poetic.
- It is.
- [Hinds] Just listen to it, Juniata.
- [Fred] Just rolls off the tongue.
- [Hinds] Lynn Cullen.
- I have to agree with that.
- [Hinds] Do you?
- Yeah, if my mom named me Montour, I'd be angry.
- [Hinds] I used to go with a girl named Venango.
- Or Tioga or Venango.
- Venango, my dear.
Frankly, Venango, I don't give a hoot, I would say, yeah.
Bernie, what is you, Tioga, I bet, huh?
- I wish I were being original, but, Juniata is a lovely, it's a lovely name.
- But is it a Native American name is the question.
And, of course, that was what we're after.
Let's see.
- [Announcer] The answer is B, Montour.
Madame Montour, as she was called, lived from 1682 till 1752.
Married to an Oneida chief, she often worked as a translator.
- She was quite a woman, was Madame Montour.
And, of course, last time I gave the score it was four to four to three.
And I'm delighted to tell you that the score is still four to four to three 'cause nobody has got any right since then.
And I'm excited, kind of proud of the fact that we've come up with some questions that have stumped a rather impressive panel.
So, let's hear it for me and my assistant.
(audience applauds) For those questions which have stumped this panel ever since four to four to three.
They're gonna win it on this mystery Pennsylvanian, I have it, and, well they may all get this wrong, too, the way they're going.
He now owns the country club where his father once worked.
It was there that he shot his best 18 hole score, a 60.
I once had a 60 on nine holes, and it was my best score.
Again, the clues, he known for his sport and his commercials and for his vast army of fans, Hickock Athlete of the Year, 1960, Athlete of the Decade for the '60s, and he now owns the country club where his father once worked, and it was there that he shot his best 18 hole score, a 60.
And is there anybody who doesn't know the name of the mystery Pennsylvanian?
Miss Cullen, you better know it this time.
Who is it?
- Four, change my four to a five because I know.
- [Hinds] Sam Sneed, all right.
Oh no, Arnold Palmer, I see.
- It's Arnold Palmer.
- [Hinds] I see, I see.
I'm fooling you there.
Fred, what did you write down?
- Old Arnold Palmer.
- [Hinds] You wrote it on the first clue.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Hinds] How did you know that on the first clue?
- Just, I'm a storehouse of useless facts.
- [Hinds] I see.
And Bernie?
- I was just gonna change it to a golf player, but I was thinking of the wrong guy, and I couldn't think of his name.
- [Hinds] Ralph Kiner and Joe Namath?
- And then, but then, but number three is where he was gonna be, but I couldn't - - [Hinds] I see.
- I couldn't pull him out of the air.
- [Hinds] You couldn't pull him out of the air.
- It was not the right man here.
- When you're on television under lights, thinking is not easy.
Let's see.
- [Bernie] That's right.
- [Announcer] Snapshots from the scrapbook of Arnold Palmer's life may show him without a golf club in his hands, but seldom absent is that look of determination that made him one of the world's great golfers.
That look of determination remained as Arnold Palmer, center rear in this photo, grew up in Latrobe, Westmoreland County.
Arnie was four when his father gave him his first set of clubs.
Arnie later bought the country club where his dad had been both pro and superintendent.
As a teenager, Arnie was beating the other caddies at the club and soon dominating golf in western Pennsylvania.
After three years in the Coast Guard, Arnie joined the Pro Tour, and the next 30 years were the stuff of legend.
90 championships, including both US and British Open, as well as four Masters victories, named Athlete of the Decade of the 1960s.
Arnie's vast army has made him one of sports' most admired performers.
Arnold Palmer, a famous Pennsylvanian.
- He has done more for golf, I guess, than most people you could name, and what a guy.
Flies his own plane all over to play, now plays in senior tournaments, of course, but tremendous, tremendous golfer, and we're proud of him from Pennsylvania.
I was looking back over the questions to see which ones gave you the most trouble.
Sholes and the typewriter as I recall.
- [Bernie] Well, I got that right.
- [Cullen] No, I got that right.
- [Fred] That's a sore spot with me.
- It is?
Okay.
- I should have known it.
I really should.
Wasn't there something in that question about women's jobs?
- [Hinds] Yeah, a lot of jobs for women, yeah.
- Yeah.
- [Hinds] Of course, telephone switchboard.
- That was like a big hint.
- [Hinds] Cash register and Dictaphone, too.
- Massive hint.
- [Hinds] Yeah, Alfred Hunt, you got that one right?
Alcoa was the company.
