"Finest Service Anywhere'
Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, May 7, 1966—5
questioning period as to
whether the goal of the 130-
member beef dub should bo
only to consistently win shows,
or whether the present spirit
of good fellowship and learn
ing should prevail. The ques
tioner felt the new plan, il
adopted, would losler many
haid feelings.
The audience rewarded the
questioning of goals with a
bin si of applause, as they had
on two other issues presented
by the speakers favonng the
piesent plan, seeming to indi
cate a general audience sup
port lor continuing the distri
bution ot club steei s by di aw
ing of names.
Several other points made
by speakeis for both sides of
the question, and activity from
members, leaders, and patents
from the floor, provided a
thorough discussion of the two
proposals At the next monthly
meeting of the club, members
will make their choice by
secret ballot.
Three alternatives will be
voted on.
1— Retain the piesent distri
bution system.
2 Discontinue the present
system and have membeis be
responsible for buying their
own calves.
3—A compromise, which
would permit any member to
buy his own steer; but would
have the club leaders and M.
M Smith, county agent, buy
gioups of calves foi anyone
who pioteiied not to buy his
own animal
In addition to Weavei and
Ilolhngei on the team favoring
the new system was Caiol
Hess, Stiasburg Rl Miss Hess
suggested that buying their
own steers would give mem
beis valuable experience in
selecting calves She said also
that too much of the time of
the leaders and extension ser
vice is involved in pm chasing
club calves, this should be
shifted to membcis’ families,
she said
Bill Houser, Lampeter. Pat
Yunginger, Marietta Rl, and
Rohrer piesented the aigu
ments for retaining the piesent
plan That team’s main points
included
I —Moie equal chances for
all members
2 Fear of membership loss
if new plan adopted
3 Continue to take advan
tage of the experience of the
steei pin chasing committee and
the quantity-buying discounts
they would have available
4 Old plan eliminates need
for each family to travel se
parately in seaich of calves
and to compete with each
other; would also yield more
uniform animals for the club
