A —Lancaster Farming. Saturday, November 13,1965 From Where We Stand,.. American, Spelled Backwards Everybody seems to be burning something these days if it isn’t draft cards it seems it's crosses. Although the draft-dodgers and the Ku Kluxers probably have a lot in common in that they could both qualify for the “Nacire ma” (American spelled backwards) award, we are far more concerned at the moment with the white-sheeted variety of non-American. The continuing investigation of the Ku Klux Klan by the House, Un-Ameri can Activities Committee (HUAC) has yielded little publishable information, but lots of “Fifth Amendment pleas”. Whether you spell it backwards or tor wards, America is undoubtedly one of the few places on this globe where ty rants are protected by the very laws they flaunt. The smoke of the Klan activities of last weekend, just south of the Penn sylvania state line, can’t help but fur ther pollute our Lancaster County at mosphere. It used to be that such hood ed haunting was a “thing” to be asso ciated only with the deep South. Re cently this fascist fungus has begun to spread. But hate and fanaticism do not spread quite as spontaneously as our hooded friends would have us believe. It takes a lot of gardening on someone’s part to raise a crop. The question is, who is running the cultivator, the ferti lizer spreader and the seeder? Some would claim that a few, too far-reaching sections of the Civil Rights Bill passed this year by Congress help ed create the seasonal atmosphere con ducive to this fungal growth. Pretty much the same bunch seems to be tend ing the patch, but it appears that a merger of sorts has taken place. The so called American Nazi Party now pro fesses to be active m Klan activities. Now there is a merger of kindred spirits' The Fascist and the Racist Once they officially join forces then all de cent Americans will know their enemy for what he is, and they will act in con cert to aestroy him Whether he is a w ould-be storm trooper in Reading, or a Southern cross burner swaddled in lousy linen, know him as the enemy of all Americans Wnatever waiped mind dreamed up the teim Nacirema could not have picked a better name for such an organization in a million years The Ku Klux Klan. has chosen an archaic method of solv histonans But it is a method which has mg its differences with the law and common decency It is a method that has Pa.

Its premise has deceived many over time, largely under the protective spell of darkness. It will seldom survive close scrutiny by thinking men in the cold light of day. American spelled backwards ? There is only one way to spell American. Spelled in any other way it becomes another word with another meaning. Let us never be deluded into spelling it or thinking of it as anything else but American! ★ ★ ★ ★ Are You One Of The 7.6 Million? According to the Pennsylvania Medical Society, at least two out of every five Americans who have diabetes don’t realize it. That means that 40 per cent of the total number of cases are at this moment undetected. Therefore, a Diabetes Detection Week has been set up in Pennsylvania. Diabetes is most likely to be found in persons who are 40 years old, or older; are overweight; and who have relatives who are diabetic. According to Dr. Raymond C. Grandon, chairman of the Council on Scientific Advancement of the Pa. Medi cal Society, the number of known dia betics has doubled since 1950. “At least 250,000 new cases are being diagnosed each year; a new case every two minu tes,” he reports. He estimates that 4 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, and that of that total 1 6 million don’t know it. How do you find out whether you are one of the 1 6 million? A schedule of tests has been set up for Lancaster County for the week of November 15- 19 at the following locations - Nov. 15, Ephrata Fire Hall - Nov. 16, Mount Joy Fire Hall - Nov. 17, New Holland Fire Hall - Nov. 18, Quarry ville Fh - e Hall - Nov. 19, Main Lancaster Fire. Hall. All screening will be done from 9 a.m. to Noon, and from 1 p.m. to 5 at each of these sites. The age limit for the tests will be 35 yeais and older Anyone intending to use this service is advised not to eat or drink anything for two hours prior to reporting for the test. Dr Grandon warns that uncontroll ed diabetes can lead to very serious com plications, but discovered early enough can almost always be controlled estimated cost, $34,292,001 cull he tederal and $23,965,- 74 4 cull be local.

With the possibility of pick ing up v\orm spores from the giound or manure pack, it is best not to permit ani mals to eat hay that has been on the floor or ground and been tramped upon. This is especially true with young animals Special hay racks can be built that will pei mit the feeding of grain, hay, or silage, and” therefore, elim inate the danger of heavier woi m infestation.
