  Mr. GREENWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 125th 
birthday of The ADVANCE of Bucks County newspaper. Founded in 
Hulmeville, Pennsylvania in 1877, the ADVANCE has provided hometown 
news to its readers in a weekly paper continuously for the past 125 
years.
  The ADVANCE has been a part of my family's required reading for as 
long as I can remember. My father's career as a township supervisor and 
the local district justice were covered, and when my younger brother 
was riding a pony and it ran away with him, his picture made the paper!
  I still depend on the ADVANCE for hometown news, to learn about local 
community issues and upcoming events.
  I would like to offer my heartiest congratulations to Editor Nancy 
Pickering and the rest of the staff at the ADVANCE, past and present.

                          ____________________
