From the Lykens Standard, August 1, 1924:
WONDERFUL CLOCK AT WEST BOROUGH PARK
Among the attractions at West Borough Park [Lykens] this week is a large mechanical clock. It is 11 feet long, 6 feet high and 8 feet wide, and was built by Jacob A. Light of Millersburg and took eighteen years of labor with a pocket knife. It is educational, historical and mechanical. Among the features of the clock are images of all the Presidents, the Union and Confederate Generals, the Apostolic Tower, Christ and the Twelve Apostles, the Lord’s Supper, Rock of Ages, Christ falling beneath His Cross, and many other features.
There is also a miniature Battleship Maine on exhibition.
Another novel exhibit is a corn farm made by a life prisoner in a Missouri penitentiary. It consists of several miniature buildings. The frame work of these buildings is of wood and over 86,000 grains of corn were used, giving it a stucco effect, being placed in position grain by grain.
The exhibit will be at Hegins Old Home Week, August 4 – 9 [1924].
