—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 6, 1962 4 From Where We Stand ... EGGtober Promotes The Use Of Eggs The Pennsylvania egg industry is taking advantage ot a catchy paraphrase to promote the use of eggs By the clever change of October to EGGtober, the poultrymen point out that fall is here and the time for hearty breakfasts is the ideal time to begin using more eggs in everyday meals The promotion is being sponsored nationwide by various egg-producer or ganizations We commend the poultrymen on this effort to increase the use of their product We believe it is the duty of commodity groups to help build a mar ket for their product There are those who will say that a pound of food is a pound of food and when one commodity fills the stomach, another must give way to make room To a certain degree this is so, but the manufacturers of useless, or nearly use less beverages, and the makers of high priced but nutritionally unbalanced rood products, are competing for the rood dollar and the space in the stomach of the consumer Unless we, who have nutritionally balanced, wholesome food products for sale, make it attractive for die consumer to buy those products, we ta ill be faced by a declining market in stead of an increasing one A promotional campaign of this sort is not cheap m any sense of the vi oid It can be conducted on a very high plane and in good taste, but it does cost money We believe money spent in promot ing the use of food sound, wholesome, nutritious farm products is money well spent At least that’s how it looks from v here we stand ★ ★ ★ + Applebutter Making Apple butter will simmer in a huge copper kettle set over an open fire; cabbage will be shredded for sauer kraut, tobacco leaves will be rolled into cigars, and farm implements, some of them nearly 200 years old will be em ployed by costumed workers in recreat ing the activities of farmyard, field and kitchen which, in yesteryear, marked summer’s end. The foregoing is part of the de scription of what will go on during the yearly Fall Harvest Days festival at the Pennsylvania Farm Museum at Landis Valley Whether you take in the merry making along with the three to four thousand visitors expected during the October 6-7 week end, or whether you enjoy a more leisurely tour of the mu seum during the week or on some other week end, we urge all Lancaster Coun lians to take time to visit this local tourist attraction It will help you ap preciate the methods of farming avail- • Manhelm Beef (Continued fiom Page 1) of All and Alls Am on Petli coilti came in thud in the -.how in.msh i]) class behind loh n Good Al.mheini Rl, wlin had the fouith place Angus < alt Doth the champion and i cseitp champion hate been cfiteicd in the Pa Lues toe K. exposition m Ilaiiisbing next in on I h Champion TTeiefoul of the show was exhibited In Donald Wilier Eli/aht thtown Rl Ro h( 11 Long Manheiin HI had Ihe champion Shoithom The fitmnr class was won bv Don ild Smdei, Lit it/ R 3 Following are the placing") in the dass<s ANt.rs 1 Wilbur floslei 2 Terry Petucoffei 1 Diana Ileistand lUanheiin Rl, 4, John Good 1 * * able to us all in this more advanced age At least that’s how it looks from where we stand Congratulations are in order for the Lancaster Livestock Market The Lancaster Stock Yards, the home of the Lancaster Livestock Market, will be the East’s focal point for the cen tennial celebration of National Terminal Livestock Markets Month all "during the month of October. The Stockyards will invite all farmers and business men to visit its facilities during the month long open house to observe as cattle from as far south as Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, - South Carolina and Maryland, and as far north as Maine, are penned throughout the yards Terminal Markets for livestock were first instituted in the United States a hundred years ago Thus it is fitting that Lancaster, the largest Terminal Livestock Market in the East celebrates, along with the other American livestock markets, National Terminal Livestock Markets Month At least that’s how it looks from where we stand. The Billie Sol Estes affair, which has captured the newspaper headlines over the past three months, may serve one constructive purpose All of us should resolve to elect only able, honest men to the posts of community and county committeemen for the adminis tration of farm programs Considering the thousands of men who serve on A.S C. committees throughout the country, the percentage which has strayed from the straight and narrow is infinitesimally small Unfor tunately, however, their misdeeds have reflected on all of agriculture. Too often in receht years committee posts have gone begging or have been filled by those who have eagerly sought the jobs though they may not be the best qualified. In some respects, there fore, it is surprising that there have not been more episodes hitting the head lines. Whether we agree or disagree with the farm programs enacted by Congress is of little consequence If they are the law of the land and farmer committees are to administer them, we have the firm obligation of responsible citizens to elect the most capable men in our townships and our counties to fulfill this responsibility This is a duty we cannot and must not shirk Manhenn R 1 r >, Donald Sn\- •dei Lint?

What two historians think about an obscure Egyptian general about 2000 years before Christ, makes mighty little differ ence really, even if they fought a duel over it No body likes to be disagreed with, but those who have listened 'to family quanels will testify that the quanel is often over some- thing very lulling The one who is “right” could much better keep his (or hei) mouth shut and let the other one think what he or she pleases, the truth m this argument may be so unimportant that it could be proved twice over and still make no difference. Some beliefs do mafier All the same, some beliefs do matter By “belief” we mean (for the moment) believing that some thing or other is tiue By “mat- Lei” we mean make some impor tant difference to somebody, ei ther the believer himself or other persons Still even this is not ex actly definite What does “impor tant difference” mean’ What is a “difference” and when does it begin to be important? This can perhaps be illustrated. Take the sentence: GOD IS LOVE. Suppose you woke up some morning and found that this sentence is not true? Suppose you had always believed it was true and now dis covered you were wrong’ It would certainly do away with the Chris tian religion. It would mean that it no longer made sense for you to tiy to love your neighbor or to hi a any one If God is love, then humdn love is (so to speak) going with the current of the universe, it is being in harmony with God the Creator. If God is not love, then human love works against the universe, and must eventually Now Is The Many dauy and luestock pioduceis are snoi t ot hay and silage this fall Recent Jams will Jesuit m good giowth ot pastilles and hay fields The glazing 01 gieen chopp ing ot this giowth late into the tall will sa\e wmtet teed supplies Only Sudan glass and the atteimath giowth ot soigltum or the soighmii-sudan glass hybnds die danger ous after a killing fiost these two ciop# should not he ted tiesh aftei fiost and where theie aie already rattle should be kept sepaiate lor at least two weeks Shipp- MAX M.

For now, the point is that some be liefs do matter, a great deal. The kind of belief which is vitally im. portant is called “saving” faith, By this is meant faith that sets the believer over on the side of God, and not on the side against Him. God as a friend or God as an enemy, which? The question an swers itself. God as a friend oa God as a stranger? There’s nd argument as to which any sand person would prefer. But there is one meaning ol "belief” we have not mentioned yet. That is, believing in somd one. This is the kind of beliaf that is closely kin to trust, conv fidence, reliance, commitment. I may believe about a certain bun that it is going to St. Louis and that the ticket I have in pocket is good for the trip. I man believe any number of true facta about that bus but not all that believing is going to move me an inch nearer where I want td go. I have to trust myself to the bus, get on, take a seat and r«f lax. That is believing in the but. So I may believe many true things about God, but unless | believe in God enough to trust myself to Him, I have not take* the step that sets me actually oa the side of God, I have not yei had saving faith. t Results 11 Some of the results of faith that matters, or saving faith, cannot be observed by outsiders, not even by intimate friends. What you feel like deep down inside is something in and for yourselt alone. But the Christian religion does not operate with invisible virtues and shadowy joys. People sometimes ask: So and so made a profession of faith long ago* but still he is one of the meanest men m town. It looks like not even belief in God makes mucbj difference to him. Is this savlni faith? The answer, of course, i| that in such a case the profession of faith was only that,—a profeaV sion, a matter of words. A tnaq can say he believes, or even thinll he believes, without really doin|| so. Really and truly to believe uq the true God as Christ has shown him to us, is bound to make » difference in the way we live, ant} not only in the way we think.
