The Keystone Motorcycle Club in Harrisburg organized a National gypsy tour with 100 plus riders starting June 17 from the clubhouse on Eleventh and Paxton. Led by R O Ritchie, the group rode to Pine Grove via Lebanon, returning by Lykens. The event emphasized sociability and neat riding with support from Firestone and other tire firms. Weather and roads were ideal.
