4—-Lancaster Farming. Saturday, March 26, 1966 From Where We Stand... Bands Of Silence Writing in Nation’s Business, Alden 31. Sypher. retired editor and life-long journalist, noted that “Government by fear is causing hands ol silence to fall acioss the land “Noise, still rises from bearded builders of dissension but in increasing numbers the more responsible, mature ami highly qualilied people are with drawing from public discussion . . .” He goes on to say the inclination toward silence is “restricting the ex change of ideas that could result in honest consensus. It is the product of fear the fear of a vastly increased central authority with tremendous pow er and little restraint in its use “The fear of farmers whose liveli hood is largely controlled in Washington and whose product prices have been af fected by stockpile manipulations “Of businessmen who have seen controls become effective not by law, nor uniform patterns, but by unbearable pressure of central power and authority. “Of educators who have seen sud den withdrawal of federal funds for failure to conform and just as sudden replacement of the funds through in tervention not by educators, but by political figures “Of city leaders who see in the antipoverty war new political align ments that may be-directed or at least greatly influenced by Washington “Of little people who rest uneasily under the benevolence of power they have seen unleashed, over which they have no control.” And, says the Oregon Voter, “be yond the self-imposed silence and fear of economic repercussions, there lies the historically proven danger of becoming a subservient, obedient and abject peo- SPEAKERS AT MARTINDALE AREA meeting discussed the effects of in creasing urbanization on small farmers Left to right they are: William Carroll, public affairs specialist from Penn State University, Don Timmons, editor, Lan caster Farming, and Arnold Lueck. associate county agent Lueck also served as moderator of the panel discussion L F Photo Lancaster Farming Lancaster County’s Own Farm Weekly P 0 Box 266 - Lititz, Pa. 17543 Offices: 22 E Mam St Lititz.

Thus, the more we fear and the longer we stay silent, the greater are our chances of becoming weak, self committed captives.’* ★ ★ ★ ★ Recognition Encourages Remedies The people of the United States are becoming increasingly aware of the fact that more and more attention is being given by Washington, the various states, and industries to the problems of air, water and land pollution. This is as it should be so long as the people who call the shots are prac tical in their approach and require ments The interests of the public and industry are mutual. As an example of cooperation by the two, it is interesting to note that Eli Lilly and Company, a leading producer of pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, was recently honored by the Wabash Valley Association for its “out standing efforts in handling waste mate rials” at its Tippecanoe Laboratories in Lafayette, Indiana, and “its continuing efforts to keep the Wabash River clean ” It is the first Indiana Industrial con cern to be thus cited Four companies with plants in Indiana and Illinois also received commendations Texaco, Marathon Oil Co., American Machine & Foundry and Ayrshire Collieries Cor poration. Thus is industry encouraged by public recognition to advance its efforts for pollution control. An increasing population, with swelling demands for products and services of every kind, has made pollution a critical problem in area after area. The remedies lie'in far sighted policies on the part of industry and government at all levels. • Urbanization (Continued tiora Page 1) oi, 2 They can woik through their township su pei\isois and area planning boaids to better dnect nou taim land use development Canoll said he would en courage one oi two fanners in ea,h area to become ac ti\f on their local planning boards “But don’t be dis ronraged when you dont see imnudiafr /(suits,” he said It genera 11 v takes at least tue nar> 1 1 om the lime jou stait .Ktion in planning un til jou begin to see some le snlts Vnotliei siir.ikei lion Tim mons orlitoi ol L,iiko Lancastei Count* a little moie than loin jcais ago,’’ he said “and I still man el at this agi n ullni al paiadise lust in cast some ot ion 1 aihum s (Continued on Page 5) name* by which group* of lam, or all Christian* every where, were called before the word "church" became' common.
