afternoon nde, but as we
headed back towaid Lititz I
asked Plastow what- he likes
most about his work “I get
a lot of satisfaction out of
working with youth, and I have
a lot of admitation for the
youth of Lancaster County,”
he said
“Of course, I am 'proud of
the DFTIA in the county, and I
think a lot of the credit is due
to close-knit family operations
where the entire family paiti
cipates in the dairy enterpnze.”
he added.
Plastow went back to clear
up some details and be ready
for the following day when a
specialist in Agricultural En
gineering would be in the
county to work out some pro
blems in 'building remodeling.
I hurried to keep my date with
the dentist’s drill
As the drill shreiked its path
up behind my left eye, I
thought back on the day with
the extension worker This, too,
is agriculture, I thought.
