    Dedication of Wayne-Logstown Monument 239 Dedication of the Wayne-Logstown Monument at Legionville, Pa. The monument, erected by the Pennsylvania Historical Commission to mark the site of the ancient Indian village of Logstown and the army cantonment where during the win- ter of 1792-3 Gen. Anthony Wayne drilled his famous "Le- gion," was dedicated on Saturday afternoon, June 22nd, 1918. The ceremony took place in the meadow beside the memorial on the Lincoln Highway several hundred yards north of Legionville Station on the Pittsburgh Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. The sky was overcast throughout the day and a chilly rain driven by a raw wind swept across the plateau where about 100 devoted patriots gathered at the roadside to honor the memory of American pioneers whose deeds had made this ground historic. But the rain did not interrupt the proceedings nor dampen the ardor of the spec- tators, and despite the inclement weather the program was carried out as originally planned. The monument has been placed on the northeast corner of the ground occupied by Wayne's army cantonment. It is of rough-hewn granite about eight feet high and contains two keystone-shaped bronze tablets-one bearing an in- scription telling of the location of Wayne's camp and the other sets forth briefly the story of the Indian settlement at Logstown. The site of the ancient village where Conrad Weiser, George Washington and other early travelers in this region held their conferences with the red men was sev- eral hundred yards south of the location of the monument.

Janicki aster model maker Andrew S. Janicki lives in Georgetown, Pennsylvania, and is a member of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans. Although his interest in Mmodel making goes back as long as he can remember, most of his model building skills were perfected on a large train display in his parents’ basement. In his adult years, he served in the U. S. Air Force and worked as a draftsman and industrial model builder for an engineering firm. Always a lover of history and historic places, Janicki has visited every state in the Union as well as 15 foreign countries. For the past several years he has been a re-enactor with the Legion of the United States, which, under the leadership Gen. “Mad” Anthony Wayne, camped at Legionville, now in Baden, before the “Battle of Fallen Timbers” (see page 2 of this newsletter). Janicki is pictured at right in a Legionnaire’s uniform; his model of Legionville will be on display in Sewickley Valley Historical Society headquarters. In 2000 and 2003, Mr. Janicki helped Beaver County put together the program to welcome the Eastern Legacy of the Lewis & Clark Journey. In May 2004, he participated in the Discovery Corps II Expedition from Wood River, Illinois, to Camp Ike Skelton National Guard Training Center in Missouri, portraying Pennsylvania native Private Patrick Gass, the member of the Corps of Discovery who outlived all the others.

  • Interim Report
    INTERIM REPORT (SIX MONTHS) 30 JUNE 2008 INTERIM REPORT TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS The Directors are pleased to present the unaudited results of the Group for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The Group achieved Revenues for the period of $27,329.9 million (2007: $22,939.9 million), an increase of $4,390 million or 19.1%. The Net Profit Attributable to Equity holders of the Company increased by $55 million over the corresponding period of 2007, moving from $1,106.9 million to $1,161.9 million, an increase of 5.0%. This represents earnings per stock unit of $3.54 (2007: $3.40). GK Foods had a challenging quarter because of rapidly escalating fuel and food prices. Although revenues for the quarter grew by 18%, pretax profit fell below the corresponding period last year. Our expansion efforts outside of Jamaica saw us launching our line of porridges in the U.S. market. Grace Tropical Rhythms Refresher and Grace Snacks were launched in the UK. The new Grace Tropical Rhythms Refresher watermelon and cucumber flavours are made from locally grown fruits. During the quarter, we launched a backyard gardening project to encourage our staff members to grow some of what they eat as a response to changing world conditions. Approximately nine hundred members of staff have expressed interest and they are receiving guidance from the Agro-Grace division. Our sponsorship of the Jamaica Cultural Development Corporation Gospel Festival under our Grace Tropical Rhythms brand was deemed a big success, and we are happy with our continued association with the festival which showcases the wealth of talent in our country.

The natural mathematical abilities of humans have advanced civilizations. These abilities have been demonstrated in cultural heritage, especially traditional houses, which display evidence of an intuitive mathematics ability. Tribes around the world have built traditional houses with unique styles. The present study involved the collection of data from documentation, observation, and interview. The observations of several traditional buildings in Indonesia were based on camera images, aerial camera images, and documentation techniques. We first analyzed the images of some sample of the traditional houses in Indonesia using projective geometry and simple house theory and then formulated the definitions of building numbers and projective coordinates. The sample of the traditional houses is divided into two categories which are stilt houses and nonstilt house. The present article presents 7 types of simple houses, 21 building numbers, and 9 projective coordinates.

Much has also been accomplished toward the permanent preservation of the records of that period. During the last four years the Society has been carrying on a still greater work in preserving the principles and the iastitutions founded by the men of I776.
