                  RECOGNIZING APPLEWOLD, PENNSYLVANIA

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Applewold, Pennsylvania, a tiny borough located along the Allegheny 
River across from Kittanning in Armstrong County.
  Applewold is celebrating 125 years of being incorporated on Saturday, 
June 1.
  While Applewold has officially been a borough for 125 years, it has 
had a front row seat for American history: playing a pivotal role in 
the Battle of Kittanning during the French and Indian War, witnessing 
the Pennsylvania Canal Kittanning Extension, and welcoming the railroad 
years later.
  To celebrate this momentous anniversary, Applewold is celebrating in 
style with a parade and various speakers to mark the occasion.
  Mr. Speaker, Applewold is a small but mighty municipality. In fact, 
based upon the last Census, the population is 344 people residing in 
219 houses. It is our small boroughs like Applewold that make our 
district, our Commonwealth, and our country so great. Their enthusiasm 
to share their history allows us to keep telling stories of our past.
  Congratulations to Applewold Borough on this anniversary.
