ECHOES OF THE PAST
(Ed. Note: This marks our
Arat attempt to launch an his
torical column about Lancaster
County and its people. The
Amish .Society has long held
« prominent position in the
eeuoty, so perhaps J. David
Lapp'd study of the Amish way
W life is an appropriate place
to begin. We are publishing
the Introduction to his paper
this week, and hope in future
weeks to bring you the com
plete study in installments.
We’d toe very interested to
hear your reactions to this
sort of a column, and to have
you contribute to it with any
item that you feel has a bear
ing on the history of any part
ef Lancaster County.)
This thesis is a “Participant
Observation” of the Old Or
der Amish of Lancaster Coun
ty. Being born and reared in
an all Amish neighborhood, 1
feel as though there has been
much distortion of the sub
ject by a few “outsiders” with
good intentions tout few facts.
Hopeful that I won’t over
identify myself, I would like

basic to their own way of life.
The enormous vitality with
which the Old Order Amish
Polk retain their semi-Ana
chronistic way of life amid the
stresses of the modern Ameri
can society is quite astounding.
No other major in-group in
America has so effectively re
sisted the homogenizing effects
of the present technological
and mass-media era.
The Amish, who first set
tled in the New World in the
early 1700’s did not evolve
socially and economically
along the same lines followed
by the rest of the American
society. Their’s was an indi
vidualist group following an
individualist religion The very
persecutions they had suffered
in Europe, as graphically de
scribed in Martyr’s Mirror, had
rendered them understandably
distrustful of anything taking
place in the society around
them ' and exceedingly reluc
tanj to follow or to conform.
They withdrew into a semi
monastic social structure close

Catholic- Of the 17th century
in Europe. Essentially, they

PROVISION IN .DELAWARE
VALtEY MILK order
The U. ,S. .Department of
Agriculture is considering sus
pension of a provision in the
Delaware Valley Federal milk
marketing order, which cov
ers part ot Delaware, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Views are invited on the pro
posed action.
Agricultural Marketing Serv
ice officials said the proposed
suspension would delete the
part of the supply-demand ad
justor in the pricing formula
which otherwise during Janu
ary-March would increase the
bottling milk (Class -I) price
20 cents above the current
level.
The suspension request
ed by cooperative associations
representing a substantial num
ber of the dairy farmers serv
ing the market. They stated
that the higher bottling milk
(Class I) price would be con
traseasonal, and could serious
ly jeopardize markets for lo
cal dairy farmers, because of
price disparities between the
Delaware Valley and adjacent
Federal order markets. They
also said that because of
changes in the market struc
ture it is questionable wheth
er the present standards to
which the supply-demand ad
justment mechanism is geared
are appropriate and that sus
pension action is necessary

vision at a hearing, request

from the Mennonite orders.
Their sole objectives in life
are “humility and holiness.”
