Alvin Saylor of Harrisburg said that the present policies being instituted by the associa tion at both the state level and at the national 'level were formed by county discussion groups. He told the local farmers that they should be wary of groups and individuals that say that they are taking action to do something for you. He said that in the long run they usually are trying to do something to you. J. Roy Greider, chairman d£ the legislative committee-read a letter from Congressman Paul Dague concerning the recent Pennsylvania Farmers Associa tion visit to the national capital. In terming the visit unusual, Dague said, “Most people who as semble here have their hand out expecting to get something fpr nothing.” Mrs. Francis Derick, wife of a Cumberland County apple grow er,* told of the activites of the women’s committee of the as sociation. She said that -farm women are members of the or ganization automaticaly when the husband joins. Women can help in the associa tion by doing secretarial work, helping in policy development, .execution and in public relations, she said. As examples of what women are doing, she said that one or ganization in the western part of the state has a program of in viting members of the Federated Womens Clubs to a farm home for a two-day stay. In this way, she explained, the city woman can get a better idea of farming and the life of a farm woman. Rural-urban tours, luncheons and speaking engagements have also been used by women to cre ate better rural-urban under standing. Approximately 50 farmers and their wives attended the meeting.
