Suggestions from members at
the local level is the basis of the
action of the Pennsylvania Farm
ers Association, 'the legislative
committee of the Lancaster Co
unty Farmers Association was
told at a meeting at the Poultry
Center Friday night.
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. William B. Jacobs pre
sided.
