savings on egg handling add up when you change to
the patented Anderson Zip-Pak. Add to this the
supreme quality of the corrugated board and you have
egg cases that provide protection to the eggs.

“Before the urban ‘sprawl’ oc

not be used to remove develop

The director pointed out
that the purpose of any zoning
ordinance is merely to imple

The plan always comes first,
and should be an outline of
community goals A communi
ty first decides where it wants
to do. then develops a plan
for getting there, and then es
tablishes zoning ordinances
v'hich are vital to carrying out
the plan
Rural people should be in
terested in agricultural zoning,
understand it. and work with
their local planning authori
ties, Harned said.
