As a special feature of the
program, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
H. Hackman presented slides
of conservation at work on the
Lester Weaver farm, and show
ed county scenes stressing the
theme of the meeting, “Our
Golden Heritage”.
Funk announced to the
group that the district was
losing its Soil Conservation
Service work unit conservation
ist Wayne F. Maresch. Speak
ing of Maresch, he said the
conservationist had had the
courage to suggest the district
cancel all out-moded agree
ments and -bring its files up-to
date, even though this would
look bad for him and for the
district in terms of total num
ber of cooperators. Funk said
that Marsch’s efforts had con
tributed to signing up 107 new
cooperating farms under ap
proved plans. “This is the
greatest single year’s effort in
10 years,” Funk said. Saying
that Maresch was being pro
moted to the Washington, D C.
SCS office, Funk added, “Our
loss is certainly Washington’s
gain ”
Speaking briefly. Maresch
said he had never enjoyed
working anywhere more than
he had in Lancaster County.
He complimented the group on
their intei est and enthusiasm
for good land management.
The featuied speaker, State
Soil & Water Conservation Dis
trict director Charles F Hess*
described the organization of
the distiict from the state
level down to the individual
cooperators He explained that
although the history of con
servation is as old as written
records, there was no really
organized conservation efforts
until the early 1930’5.
Despite more than 30 years
of organized effort, Hess said,

“education is still one of the the director stated.
greatest problems we face in
putting across the importance
of conservation".
He oited the recent national
budget, allocation of $lO bil
lion for conservation in the,
U.S. as opposed to the con
siderably greater amounts bud
geted for the man-on-the-moon
program. “We haven’t even
learned how to take care of
our. own earth and get along
with people, and we’re worry
ing about going to the moon,”

He described the three basic
factors of conservation as com*
prehending the problem which
faces us; becoming concerned
that something be done about
it; and actively planning the
cooperative effort that will cor
rect the problem.
“Individual effort is- the
thing that makes any conserve*
tion program work, and your
Soil & Water Conservation
District can help guide that
effort,” Hess concluded.
