4 Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, February 4, 1967 From Where We Stand ... Form & Home Center Approaches Reality With each passing day, your Lan caster County Farm & Home Center edges a little closer to reality. According to building committee chairman Jacob Kurtz. Jr., the rough grading has been finished, and the basement excavation should be done by next week. Soon af ter that, the foundation will begin to take shape, and the rate of progress thereafter will be swift. It was reported Tuesday night at the Farm & Home Foundation’s 3rd annual meeting that cash on hand, investments, and unpaid pledges total ed very close to $300,000. It was also reported that the total cost of com pleting the Farm & Home Center is approaching one-half million dollars. In making this last announcement, fund drive co-chairman Levi H. Bru baker suggested that if that figure scared anyone it would be well to remember that gross agricultural in come in Lancaster County in one year is more than 200 times greater than the amount which will be invest ed in the Center. And the Center will serve this community for many, many years. It was also pointed out that the Foundation needs less than Sl5OO more to match a ••challenge” gift of 525 000 If they don't match it then, of course, they don’t receive the 525.000 But with your continued support we know the challenge will be met The directors and other supporters have worked tirelessly at the often thankless task of soliciting funds for construction of the Center Their hope is to turn it over to the people of Lan 'caster County debt-free Then, the {'in come from rental of office space can be • Farm & Home (Continued from Page 1) ■ Rosser was elected treasui’er, succeeding Noah W Kreider FOOD PRICES—UP Food prices in the future will go only one way—up, Sec retary Bull predicted He said that when they get too high, Washington will step-up agu cultural imports in an effort to keep domestic puces down As food prices continue up ward, the pioduction of syn thetic food products, and mix tures of synthetics and natuial products, will also increase.
