Commission
Asks Advice
On New Center
The Community Center Com
mission called upon the people
if Lancaster County today to
issist it in determining the
facilities that should be provid
ed in the Center, one that will
fill the particular needs of Lan
caster County, its major activi
ties, and its people as the goal
of the Commission.
Robert Chestnut, Temporary
Chairman of the Commission,
stated, “The Commission in its
■study of the establishment of a
Center has concluded that m
order to serve the best interests
of the entire Lancaster area the
Center should include those
facilities that are- most vitally
needed in the area. Lancaster
County has long been rioted for
its agriculture, and it is our
feeling that special attention
should be given to this field.
Industrial development has in
creased in all sections of our
'county in recent years, and at
tention wil be given to the
needs of industry. Community
activities in all fields have in
creased in recent years. We de
sire to give, them every consid
eration in our planning; how
ever, our most -pressing need
at present is for the people to
,tell us what facilities should be
considered for inclusion in the
Center. We welcome all sug
gestions and ideas. They should
be forwarded to me at P. O.
Box 840, Lancaster.”
The Community Center Com
mission was appointed jointly
by the County and City of Lan
caster for the purpose of deter
mining the development of a
Community Center on land
donated by Elmer L. Esben
shade to the County and City
for that purpose. Mr. Esben
shade, a farmer, donated 18
acres of land at the intersec
tion of the Roseville Road and
the By-Pass, just northwest of
Lancaster, early this year.
The Lancaster County Com-,
missioners and the City Coun
cil accepted this land and ap
pointed the following men to
the Commission; Robert Chest
nut, works manager, Aluminum
Company of America; G. Theo
dore Storb, vice-president, Penn
sylvania Power & Light Com
pany; Robert R. Shoemaker, gen
eral manager, Stevens House,
Owen P. Bncker, attorney, and
Elmer L. Esbenshade, farmer. ,
The Commission has- held
seven meetings to date. Its work
has been directed to examining
the reports of various commun--
ity organizations throughout'
the county which have been in
terested in this project.

is your BIST buy?
YOU WANT tauß MONEY’S WORTH. To get it
you mtfst constantly weigh values . . . appraise
various offerings . . decide which is best for you.
To do this intelligently it’s common sense to
study all viewpoints with an open mind.
This message is directed specifically to the
buyer of price-minded, feeds
Large feed mills use efficient modern milling
machinery available to all who have the volume
of tonnage to justify the capital investment re
quired. Freight and bags are important costs and
standardized as to area and type respectively.
The easiest way to sell feed for several dollars less
per ton is to use lower quality (lower cost) in
gredients.

$ 1.5 Million Plant Addition
In Process At Pine Grove
A one and a half million dollar project is currently un
derway on the Octoraro Creek, near the community of
Pine Grove, on the Southern Lancaster-Chester county
line.
An extension to the mam
water filtration plant located
there, it has been contracted
for the Chester Municipal Au
thority. When finished, it will
increase the daily processed
water capacity liom 18 to 30
million gallons.
While the piesent plant is
only six years old, the demand
for water in the city of Chester
and its suburbs has increased
so much that the expansion was
made mandatory, according to
Clinton DeWitt, resident engin
eer for the Philadelphia firm of'
Albright and Fuel, consulting
engineers.
Five months’ time has been
lost on the project, which be
gan in January, DeWitt stated.

Lancaster Farming, Friday, July 13, 1956—7
It is the intention of Beacon to make not just
high quality feed . . but the highest. . with the
poultryman’s profit over feed cost in mind
To do this we use the best No 2 corn . low
fiber 20' c alfalfa LEAF meal dehulled 50 c 0
soybean meal quality meat scrap free of hair,
fiber or blood meal . . . and we add animal fat.
We are generous in the use of animal protein
ingredients for balanced amino acids, and un
identified growth factors.
The result is concentrated nutrition, a dense
feed, very high in net energy with more feeding
value per pound of feed Thus birds eat less for
equal results This alone can represent up to 75c
or $l.OO difference in cost per bag
We are especially fond of poultrymen who keep
accurate records because they quickly discover
Beacon is their best buy. Beacon can help more
poultrymen to improve profits. *
