Announcer: The name Piper Cub is synonymous with aviation the world over.

For years, it was our most popular small airplane.

3/4 of America's World War II pilots learned to fly in a cub.

Do you know in what Pennsylvania town the Cub was first made?

You're invited to play The Pennsylvania Game.

Test your knowledge of the Commonwealth's people, places, and products.

The Pennsylvania Game is brought to you in part by: Uni-Mart Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware , serving you with courtesy and convenience every day of the year.

Now, let's get the game started.

Here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game .

Lynn Hinds.

[APPLAUSE] Thank you .

Lynn Hinds: Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Welcome to another edition of The Pennsylvania Game, a program designed to test your knowledge and teach you some things about Pennsylvania's people, places, and products.

Delighted to have a studio audience, and delighted to have you at home to join and play along with.

See if you can beat our panel.

And, on our panel in the number one chair again, Bernie Asbell.

[APPLAUSE] And, from Warren, Pennsylvania where he writes a newspaper column, let's welcome Ernest C. Miller.

[APPLAUSE] And all the way down yonder at chair number 3, Lynn Cullen .

[APPLAUSE] Let's start with the first question.

You've already seen a little bit of what it's about.

A name that's synonymous with aviation and synonymous with Pennsylvania, the Piper Cub.

Where was it first built?

Announcer: Williams Thomas Piper is known world over as the Henry Ford of aviation.

The first Piper Cub was flown on September 12th, 1930.

In what Pennsylvania town was the first Piper Cub made?

A, Bradford; B, Clarion; C, Lock Haven, or D, Emporium.

Lynn Hinds: Lots of folks learn to fly in a Cub.

The question is, that first one back in 1930 was made in what Pennsylvania town?

Bernie?

Bernie Asbell: Must have been Lock Haven because they built a university on the air strip there.

Lynn Hinds: I see.

So you're picking C, Lock Haven.

Ernie, he says Lock Haven, what do you say?

Ernie Miller: I have to go with A because I learned to fly in one of the things.

Lynn Hinds: Did you really?

Ernie Miller: Yep.

Lynn Hinds: Well, there you are.

You've had two, Lynn Cullen, authoritative answers.

[LAUGHTER] I love it.

Doesn't that authoritative stuff confuse you?

Lynn Cullen: Yeah.

Neither of them made any sense at all as far as I can tell, so I'm going with... Where the heck is Emporium?

Lynn Hinds: Where is Emporium?

It's up in the northern tier, up there.

[LAUGHTER] Lynn Cullen: Well um, what the heck?

Lynn Hinds: Ladies and gentlemen, the panel has just spell the word "cad".

We have a, C, an A, and a D. Where it was the first Cub built back in 1930?

Announcer: The answer is A, Bradford.

What's more, it was built not by Piper Aircraft, but by the Taylor Brothers Aircraft Corporation.

Piper bought out Taylor in 1936, and when a fire destroyed the Bradford plant the next year, he moved to Lock Haven.

Seventy-five percent of America's World War II pilots learned to fly in a Piper, and loyal Piper owners still love to fly in to meet at the WT Piper Memorial Airport in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania.

Lynn Hinds: When the plant burned down, Bill Piper said, hey, we're getting some publicity out of this, and they move to Lock Haven from Bradford, but lots of folks don't know.

Ernie knew, but lots of folks don't that Bradford was the home originally.

Lynn Cullen: And lots of folks don't know that they're moving to Emporium next week.

You watch.

Lynn Hinds: Is that right?

[LAUGHTER] Lynn Cullen: That's right.

Lynn Hinds: From Florida, they're moving down to Emporium?

Lynn Cullen: Yep.

Lynn Hinds: Okay.

Well, nice going Ernie.

You got that one right.

Let's ask another one that's out in the western part of Pennsylvania and see if you know this one.

Announcer: Ray Harroun of Spartansburg, Crawford County, achieved a famous sports first in the year 1911.

What was he first to do?

A, first jockey to win the Kentucky Derby; B, first football player to wear a helmet; C, first to attempt skydiving; or D, first Indy 500 winner.

Lynn Hinds: Or to ask that question in a slightly different way, what was that on Ray's head?

[LAUGHTER] Ernie, what do you say?

Huh?

Ernie Miller: No question about it.

Lynn Hinds: First Indy 500 winner, you say?

Okay.

Ray Harroun.

Lynn Cullen?

Lynn Cullen: I don't know.

This guy Ernie makes me nervous.

What do you mean no question about it?

[LAUGHTER] Well, when I saw Ray's picture, the helmet was what caught my eye immediately and I thought, gee whiz, what a funny looking football helmet.

He had to be the first football player to wear [inaudible].

Lynn Hinds: They probably did take the first helmets off and put them in their hip pocket.

Bernie, what do you say?

Bernie Asbell: I modestly say there's some question about it, but I'll go with D anyhow.

Lynn Hinds: To me, Ray Harroun, that picture looked like a skydiver.

He looked like he was ready to leap out of a plane.

What was Ray Harroun first to do?

Announcer: The answer is D, first Indy 500.

At the speed of 75 miles per hour.

Ray Harroun took the checkered flag in 1911 at the first Indianapolis 500.

His six hours and 42 minutes of work earned him a grand total of $14,000.

Lynn Hinds: So the first-person that win the Indianapolis 500 was Ray Harroun, a native of Pennsylvania, who had on his head something that looked a lot like a football helmet.

Ernie Miller, we're glad to have you here.

The column you write is for the Warren Times Observer... And your column is called?

Ernie Miller: Looking Backwards.

Lynn Hinds: It's about what?

Ernie Miller: Oh, anything backwards.

Lynn Hinds: Anything?

[LAUGHTER] So, backwards at Pennsylvania, things in Pennsylvania?

Ernie Miller: All Pennsylvania just about.

Lynn Hinds: Okay.

You've got two out of two questions correct so far.

That means two things.

It means you know a lot about Pennsylvania, Ernie, and it means you'll never be invited back.

I hope you know that.

[LAUGHTER] Ernie Miller: The question is, does it pay any money?

Lynn Hinds: No, it doesn't.

Only fame and glory is all you get but you're doing right well on that.

And I can see that Ms. Cullen and Mr. Asbell are going to be a little bit careful.

Bernie Asbell: Just keep doing that well and you're going to get lumps from Lynn and me .

Lynn Hinds: [LAUGHTER] Just a little bit careful about that.

Let's go on to another question.

This one's a little bit complicated, so you need to pay attention.

We're looking for which reasons are wrong and which one is right.

Announcer: The Indians of Pennsylvania used the canoe for travel far less than the Indians of New England.

There were three basic reasons for this.

Which of these reasons is false?

A, canoe birch didn't grow in Pennsylvania; B, streams were unsuitable to east-west travel; C, open forests made land travel easy, or D, permanent settlements made travel unnecessary.

Lynn Hinds: Our audio man, Barry Carney selects the music for these questions.

Nice going, Barry.

That's really authentic sound and music there.

If you can get past that music, which one of these is not correct?

Three of them are legitimate reasons, but the fourth one is just a bogus reason we threw in as to why the Indians of Pennsylvania use the canoe a lot less than the Indians of New England and some other places too, I might add... Lynn Cullen?

Lynn Cullen: Well....... What do you mean streams were unsuitable to east-west travel?

There weren't any streams going east-west?

Lynn Hinds: Well then that's probably a wrong reason then if that's what you think.

Lynn Cullen: That's what I think.

Lynn Hinds: She's going to select B. Bernie Asbell: Actually, it wasn't the streams, it was the mountains that were unsuitable for east-west travel because...

But... B is the right answer.

Lynn Hinds: I see, because it's the wrong answer.

Bernie Asbell: Because it's the wrong answer.

[LAUGHTER].

Lynn Hinds: Ernie?

Ernie Miller: Are you sure of that ?

[LAUGHTER] Bernie Asbell: Now we know we're right!

Lynn Hinds: We're right.

Now, Ernie, I'm not sure copying off these two is the right way to go they're copying of you.

What is the right answer?

Announcer: The answer is D. Although Pennsylvania Indians did live in settled communities where they raised food crops such as the basic three sisters of corn, beans and squash, they still traveled extensively.

The birch bark that made canoes a marvel of efficiency did not grow in Pennsylvania.

So, unless they could trade with someone from New England, Pennsylvania Indians resorted to the cumbersome dug-out canoe.

Mountains interrupted east-west travel, and carrying dugouts over a portage was difficult at best.

Plus the open forests provided well-traveled Indian trails, trails the settlers would use and that today form many of our highways.

Lynn Hinds: So the panel is going to protest that question.

Okay.

It wasn't the greatest question we've ever asked, but those are true and the thing that amazed me is that most of the highways in Pennsylvania today, many of the main highways were at one time Indian trails because they did walk a lot and they did not have...

Anyway panel... Ernie's ahead with 2 and the other two are trying to catch up.

Ernie Miller.

Let's hear it for Ernie!

.

Nice going there.

[APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE] Let's do a Mystery Pennsylvanian.

A very famous Pennsylvanian.

We'll be giving you three clues during the course of the program, and here is clue number 1.

Born in Erie County, 1857, she grew up in the shadows of the oil wells around Titusville.

Oil was to play a major role in her fame.

Famous Mystery Pennsylvanian.

She was born in Erie County, 1857.

Grew up in the shadows of the oil wells around Titusville, and oil was to play a major role in her fame.

If you know the answer, write it please on line number one of that little pad that we loan to you.

You don't get to keep it panel, but we did loan it to you for the program.

You're thinking I can see.

Let's go to Pittsburgh and ask a question about churches in Pittsburgh.

Panel?

Announcer: In 1987, three downtown Pittsburgh churches celebrated a common 200th birthday.

First Presbyterian got its deed the same day that Smithfield United and Trinity Cathedral got their deeds.

The land for each church came from a famous Pennsylvania family.

Was the land grant called, A, Penn Grant, B, Mellon Grant, C, Wannamaker Grant, or D, Carnegie Grant?

Lynn Hinds: Okay, The three churches in downtown Pittsburgh.

There's First Presbyterian, Smithfield United, and Trinity Cathedral.

They all got their deeds the same day from a grant and they celebrated the 200th birthday of that just in 1987.

So that would be, 1987 minus 200 would be 1787, wouldn't it?

If mathematics serve.

Which they sometimes do.

But the question is, and we're back to you, Bernie, for this one.

What did they call that land grant in 1787?

Penn Grant, Mellon Grant, Wannamaker Grant, or Carnegie Grant?

Bernie Asbell: It can't be Carnegie and it can't be Wannamaker.

So that leaves Mellon and Penn.

What letter was Penn again?

Lynn Hinds: Penn was A. Bernie Asbell: Penn was...A I don't know when Mellon was.

I think Mellon was a great church man, but I guess I'll have to go with Penn.

Lynn Hinds: You're going with Penn?

Okay Bernie Asbell: If it's 1787 I think I'll go with that.

Lynn Hinds: Interesting logic.

Ernie Miller: What was B?

Lynn Hinds: B was Mellon, C was Wannamaker, D was Carnegie.

We have a Penn and we have a Mellon.

He says, Lynn, it could not be Wannamaker or Carnegie.

Lynn Cullen: This guy's still making me nervous.

Lynn Hinds: Is he?

Lynn Cullen: Yeah.

He just goes... [NOISE].

Lynn Hinds: But Asbell does that too and he doesn't make you nervous.

[LAUGHTER] Lynn Cullen: Well, I know Bernie too well.

[LAUGHTER] I think it's a Ulysses S Grant.

Lynn Hinds: Ulysses S Grant.

[LAUGHTER] Lynn Cullen: I agree with Bernie.

Can't be Carnegie, can't be Wannamaker.

I don't know about Mellon either, but Penn... Penn is usually right on this show.

Penn did a lot of stuff I think.

Bernie Asbell: But he said Mellon.

[LAUGHTER].

Lynn Hinds: Penn is also usually associated with Philadelphia in the eastern part of the state.

What's that got to do with Pittsburgh?

Lynn Cullen: No, I'll do it.

I'm wrong.

Announcer: The answer is A, Penn Grant.

[LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] The three churches got their land because the Penn family had been loyal to the British during the revolution.

The state's divestiture Act forced them to sell.

They saved three lots for the three churches and all filed deeds on September 24, 1787 in Westmoreland County.

Lynn Hinds: If they were in Pittsburgh, PA, why did they file their deeds in Westmoreland County?

That's the follow-up question.

Bernie Asbell: The fees were lower in that court.

Lynn Hinds: The fees were lower says Bernie Asbell, Ms. Cullen, would you take a shot at that one?

Lynn Cullen: No.

Lynn Hinds: Ernie?

Ernie Miller: Pittsburgh was part of Westmoreland County at the time.

Lynn Hinds: There was no Allegheny County in 1787, and little old Hannastown was the county seat of Westmoreland County, which incorporated most of western Pennsylvania.

That's indeed right.

Penns had to sell, or had to get rid of their land, because they supported the wrong side in the Revolutionary War and they said, "Hey guys, give up your land."

Isn't that interesting?

Let's go up to Erie County for a gentleman who was something of an inventor, a good inventor.

Announcer: Murray Raymond of Corry in Erie County invented something in 1883 that many parents have been grateful for ever since.

What was Murray Raymond's invention?

Was it A pacifiers, B wooden blocks, C jumper seats, or D playpens?

Lynn Hinds: Ol' Murray Raymond from up in Erie County, which is up your way, Ernie Miller or toward your way anyway, you ever hear of this guy Murray Raymond of Corry?

What did he invent?

Something for kids obviously.

Ernie?

Ernie Miller: I'll gamble on playpens.

Lynn Hinds: Playpens.

You're going to say D. Okay, stick letter D up there if you will and go on official record.

Lynn Cullen, what do you say?

Lynn Cullen: Well, really that's what I was going to say too.

It has nothing to do with Ernie having said D. Of the two, I would think pacifiers and playpens would be the two reasonable responses to that and I'm just going with playpens.

Lynn Hinds: Murray Raymond may not have been a reasonable man though.

Bernie Asbel, what do you say?

Which did he invent there?

Bernie Asbell: There was a lot of available land in Erie County and plenty of room.

You didn't have to pen kids in.

So I think he invented the pacifier.

Lynn Hinds: You went for the pacifier?

Bernie Asbell: He went for the pacifier.

Lynn Hinds: I remember trying to feed my daughter and... Well, let's see one of these here.

Announcer: The answer is C, Jumper seats.

The first ones sold for just $3.

Hung by a spring from the ceiling, many babies have bounced happy and safe while moms and dads got a chance to rest.

Lynn Hinds: I'd like to say that we shot the film of this child in the jumper seat so long ago that the child is now in college, [LAUGHTER] but isn't that marvelous?

Bernie Asbell: And will be a panelists next show.

Lynn Hinds: Yes.

And I can remember trying to feed my daughter while she was jumping up and down in one of those, you know hit and miss kind of thing.

But Murray Raymond of Erie County invented jumper seats for kids.

Number 2, clue for our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

As a famous in her day, as Woodward and Bernstein were in their day, she was one of a group of journalists that Teddy Roosevelt called muckrakers.

[NOISE] Clue Number 1 was she was born in Erie County in 1857, grew up in the shadows of the oil wells of Titusville; Oil played an important role in her fame; As famous in her day as Woodward and Bernstein were in theirs; one of a group of journalists that Teddy Roosevelt called muckrakers.

Write it on line two, panel, if you know the name of our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

While they're thinking, let's tell you that our address is, write to us in care of, The Pennsylvania Game, Wagner Annex, University Park, PA 16802.

We are always glad to hear from you.

I hear scribbling going on over, among the panel members.

They may have a clue as to our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

Got a clue here, going back to one of my favorite stories that comes out of a very hard time in American history, the Civil War and just before.

Announcer: In the 1840s, a slave named Henry Brown escaped to Pennsylvania.

Songs were written about his success.

How did he travel?

A, he swam the Chesapeake Bay.

B, he stole a locomotive.

C, he drove a herd of sheep, or D, he had himself shipped in a box.

Lynn Hinds: Henry Brown in the 1840s was a slave and he escaped and made his way to Pennsylvania.

The only question that I want to know is, how did Henry Brown travel, Ms. Cullen?

Lynn Cullen: Well, Henry Brown, he went around and he stole a locomotive.

Lynn Hinds: And he choo-choo'd up to Pennsylvan-I-A.

She says, B. Bernie?

Bernie Asbell: Well, I would have chosen that even without Lynn, only because locomotives, railroads, were as popular in songs then, and as glamorous as trucks are today and it would seem to be that that would be a subject of a song.

Lynn Hinds: Well, we have two Bs.

Ernie Miller, are you convinced?

Ernie Miller: No.

Lynn Hinds: You're not.

[LAUGHTER] You're going to ship him in a box.

Ernie Miller: Yeah, ship him a box.

Lynn Hinds: Alright, we got him on a train with two panelists, and we got him in a box with another.

How did you have Henry Brown escaping to Pennsylvania?

Announcer: The answer is D. He was shipped in a box.

[APPLAUSE] Henry "Box" Brown was boxed up in Richmond and shipped to Philadelphia.

For 26 hours he was in a box two feet, eight inches deep, two feet wide, and three feet long.

When the box was opened in Philadelphia, Henry Brown stood up and said, "How do you do gentlemen?".

Lynn Hinds: That's the myth.

What Henry "Box" Brown, as he was called, really said when he got out of that box was "pardon me, gentlemen, is there a men's room nearby?"

[LAUGHTER] Bernie Asbell: Ernie is now going to sing us the song.

Ernie Miller: [LAUGHTER] No, he is not.

Lynn Hinds: But that's a marvelous story and Henry "Box" Brown had himself shipped to Philadelphia and freedom.

I sort of thought driving a herd of sheep was kind of interesting too.

Can you imagine "Where are you going with those sheep?"

"Well, I'm driving them from one place..." and just keep going till you get to Freedom.

But marvelous.

Charles Blockson, of Temple University, is a historian who has a recent book out on the Underground Railroad, and marvelous facts about the way the Underground Railroad functioned.

I love this next question because it will test your knowledge of words.

And do you know the roots of words, what they mean?

Announcer: State College in Centre County is National Headquarters for a group whose name is from Greek words, meaning love of things for which tax has already been paid.

Is that word A, philodendry, B, philately, C, philogyny, or D, philopatry?

Lynn Hinds: Oh my goodness, love of things for which tax has already been paid.

Bernie is that word....

I'm not sure I can pronounce all of these, philodendry, philately, philogyny, or philopatry.

Bernie Asbell: "I never collected a stamp in my life" Tom Swift said flatly.

[LAUGHTER].

Lynn Hinds: You say it's philately.

Alright.

Ernie?

Ernie Miller: I'll try that.

Lynn Hinds: You're going with philately also.

Greek scholar Lynn Cullen looking puzzled.

Lynn Cullen: Yeah.

Well, I know Philatelist is a stamp collector, right?

Lynn Hinds: Yeah.

I think.

Bernie Asbell: Is that what it is?

Lynn Cullen: Well, I think so.

What does that have been doing what you just said?

Lynn Hinds: Greek words meaning love of things for which tax has already been paid.

Lynn Cullen: Well, it's like philanthropy, only it's not quite, so it's philatropy.

Lynn Hinds: Philatropy?

Okay.

Philatropy's not up there but Philately is.

Lynn Cullen: No I meant D. Lynn Hinds: Oh, you mean philopatry.

[LAUGHTER] Back to Introduction to Greek 101 [LAUGHTER] What's the answer?

Announcer: The answer is B. Philately.

The American philatelic society was organized in 1886.

100 years later, some 50,000 members use the library and other resources of the country's largest organization of stamp collectors.

Some 50 staff members are joined by volunteers to help stamp collectors in more than 100 nations around the world.

The American philatelic society has helped make stamp collecting a popular and educational hobby.

Lynn Hinds: Yeah, philodendry is love of trees, philopatry is love of country or father, and philogyny is love of women.

Philately -- originally stamps came into being because letters were paid by the people that got them.

Here's a letter from your cousin in Aliquippa.

Do you want to pay 20 cents and receive it?

Well, stamps were invented [LAUGHTER] because... And the word means - tax has already been paid.

Here, the letter is free to you because the sender sent it.

So that's what philately means.

Let's go to Pittsburgh for a silly question.

It's a true question, but it's kind of silly.

At least it's struck my fancy.

Let's listen.

Announcer: In 1787, Congress voted to grant lands West of Pennsylvania in payment for the revolutionary war debt.

The first settlers set out from Pittsburgh in April 1788 on a flatboat named, A, The Constitution; B, The Mayflower; C, The Ben Franklin; or D, The Titanic.

Lynn Hinds: A lot of people went through Western Pennsylvania and through Pittsburgh in particular, giving Pittsburgh really a legitimate claim to be called "Gateway to the West", although St. Louis later claimed that title, and the first settlers really set out on this land that Congress had granted in 1787.

When I read the name of the boat, they went on, I thought it was interesting and I made up three phony answers to go with it.

Was the flat boat called The Constitution, The Mayflower, The Ben Franklin, or The Titanic and Ernie, it's just a question of guessing which one.

Ernie Miller: It just a guess.

Lynn Hinds: He's gonna say it was named The Constitution, 1787 is about the right time period for that, certainly.

Lynn Cullen?

Lynn Cullen: Well, knowing you a little bit.

Lynn Hinds: Yeah.

Lynn Cullen: I would suspect, that if you saw that that boat was named The Titanic, you would have chortled and chuckled to yourself and said, "I'm going to use that on The Pennsylvania Game."

Lynn Hinds: Why would they call a boat The Titanic, Bernie?

Bernie Asbell: I was going to go for D for exactly the same reason.

And for that reason, now I can't [LAUGHTER] The Constitution and Ben Franklin were too contemporary to be revered very much.

So I can see they might've called it The Mayflower, the second.

Lynn Hinds: You're going with the Mayflower.

Bernie Asbell: Mayflower II.

Yeah.

Lynn Hinds: But the Mayflower was a moving company, see, and would they have named it after... What did they call their first boat to settle those lands West?

Announcer: The answer is B.

The Mayflower.

[APPLAUSE] The Settlers floated down the Ohio River to establish Marietta, Ohio.

They were part of the many settlers who embarked from Pittsburgh, giving that city early claim to the title "Gateway to the West."

Lynn Hinds: I certainly agree, The Titanic would have caught my imagination [LAUGHTER] But it was The Mayflower.

They were sailing to a new land, they thought.

Clue three for our Mystery Pennsylvanian: Her two-volume "Life of Lincoln" was well-received, but her two-volume "life of a man's famous company" was a sensation.

Her two-volume "Life of Lincoln" was well received, but aher two-volume "life of a man's famous company" was a sensation.

Our Mystery Pennsylvanian we say - Was born in Erie County 1857...

Grew up in the shadow of the oil wells of Titusville... Oil played a major role in her fame... Clue number 2: She was as famous in her day as Woodward and Bernstein were in theirs, and she was in a group of journalists that Teddy Roosevelt called "muckrakers."

And, her two-volume "Life of Lincoln" was well received, but her two-volume "life of a man's famous company" was a sensation and really caused quite a stir in the whole nation.

And I want to know from you first, if you please, Lynn Cullen.

Do you know who our ... Lynn Cullen: No, I had down somebody, and she's wrong.

No.

Lynn Hinds: Who do you put down?

Lynn Cullen: I'm embarrassed now [LAUGHTER] Nellie Bly.

Lynn Hinds: Nellie Bly was a very famous Pennsylvania woman, Ernie Miller?

Ernie Miller: Standard Oil Company.

Lynn Hinds: Okay, and who was our famous Mystery Pennsylvanian?

Ernie Miller: Ida Tarbell.

Lynn Hinds: Ida Tarbell.

What line did you get that on?

: Lynn Hinds: Okay.

On line number two.

Bernie Asbell: I expect to fall apart on the screen.

I'm just so professionally embarrassed, not to remember the famous woman muckraker.

I just had no answer.

Lynn Hinds: You don't.

Bernie Asbell: I publicly repent right now!

Lynn Hinds: You don't need to apologize.

Let's take a look and see who is our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

Announcer: Ida Tarbell was born into a middle-class family in western Pennsylvania just prior to the civil war.

After graduating from Allegheny College in Meadville, Ida Tarbell had a respectable career as a writer as she expressed in her autobiography, "All In The Day's Work", but nothing that would make her famous.

She wrote and edited for several magazines, went to Paris and wrote articles on radium, X-rays and Marconi's wireless for McClure's Magazine, and even wrote a groundbreaking two-volume Life of Lincoln.

But her 1902 expose of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, caused a sensation.

When Ida Tarbell died in 1944 at age 86 the New York Times called her "The Dean of American women authors."

Ida Tarbell, a famous Pennsylvanian.

Lynn Hinds: We really do have so many famous women to be proud of here in Pennsylvania and in the field of journalism.

Nellie Bly, for example, is one... one of my all-time favorites.

Ida Tarbell was quite an investigative journalist and writer.

Lot of folks don't know, Ernie, you obviously knew who she was because she's famous up your way, I think.

But some of her other writings, like the two-volume work of Lincoln, was a brilliant biography of Lincoln.

Ernie Miller: She did one on Napoleon.

Lynn Hinds: One on Napoleon.

Of course the volume on Standard Oil really was... it really exposed big business in America.

I hope you had fun.

I hope you got some right, hope you'll join us next time when we gather to play The Pennsylvania Game.

See you then [APPLAUSE].

Announcer: The Pennsylvania Game has been made possible in part by Unimarts Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, serving you with courtesy and convenience every day of the year.
