4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 20,1967 From Where We Stand... New Words For Old Problems? Talking to some 250 midwest farm wives earlier this month, agriculture sec retary Orville Freeman tried out a new name for the Administration's farm pro grams. Three times in his prepared speech he referred to them as “New Era” farm programs. Was he sounding out the name for palatability, or was he registering its in troduction into the Washington lingo? Or, was its use merely coincidental? We don’t know, but since we hadn’t heard the name used before or since the thought occurred that perhaps the Administration planned to dump some old names associated with unsuccessful programs But no matter what you call it, a rose is still a rose and a thorn still a thorn, and there have sure been more thorns than roses .in big government farm programs since their introduction during the 1930’s as temporary emer gency measures. According to American Farm Bureau Federation president Charles Shuman, the current annual cost of fed eral farm programs is more than the total bill for running the entire federal government back in 1933 He cited the total government cost of price support and related farm programs from 1933 through 1966 as amounting to more than $5l billion The stated purpose of the federal farm programs. Shuman noted, has been to control production and improve farm prices. Neither goal has been achieved, he sard AFBF wants to start its own “New Era” farm program an era without farm programs is the Farm Bureau’s stated goal. In spite of a consistent record, of failure in the federal farm programs, Secretary Freeman has expressed a stub born determination to make controls and subsidies a permanent part of his “New Era” in agriculture. We agree with Shuman that the Ad ministration’s plans to keep agriculture chained to a federal control and subsidy program geared to the depression years, while the rest of society enjoys prosperi ty, is an injustice to American farmers ★ ★ ★ ★ Mail Bugs Carefully Farmers and homeowners were ad vised by the State Department of Agri culture this week that, when mailing bugs to the state entomologists for iden tification, care in packaging should be used Don’t pack them in ordinary en velopes, when they go through the Post Office’s cancellation machines they often get cancelled beyond recognition' And a cancelled caterpillar is the worst kind, we’d bet SIS WeafAer Would you believe the five day outlook is for tempera tures to continue on the sub normal side? That’s what the wcatheiman tells us. It may warm up a bit Monday, but then Tuesday and W'edncs day will he cool again. Noi mal for the period ranges from a high of 76 to a low of 53 degrees. Here’s good news though for farmers—the only prccip Station in sight calls foi showers Monday or Tuesday with totals amounting to only tg-inch. So, fields should be in good shape in most areas and work proceed nor mally. All arguments have two sides, but most of them have na end The current judicial obsession with net violating the criminals’ civil rights, completely ignores the civil rights of the other 98 percent, or so, comprising the non-criminal population. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY The average age of the American citizen today is steadily dropping, and will continue to do so as our citizens un der the age of 25 increase proportionally While the courts and the law must deal with criminals eventually, the only way crime is going to be brought to a controllable point is through education. And we don’t mean formal schooling We’re talking about the old-fashioned brand that began in the home Sure, cri tics can say: “It was easier then. Kids had respect for parental authority. And they weren’t as mobile they didn’t have cars and motor bikes; you knew where they were all the time. Today, who knows where they are?” True, perhaps it was somewhat easier to control the kids without “wheels” But the important difference was that say, up until about 20 years ago most parents regarded the where abouts and the public behavior of their children as THEIR responsibility Most didn’t leave the disciplining of their chil dien to the public school system and to society THAT part of a kid’s education began at home And that’s where at has to begin Un til parents reclaim their rightful respon sibilities in child-rearing, and until they reestablish parental authority in their own homes - and insist the courts pro perly penalize those who do not until that Great Bay all efforts to combat crime in this country will be crippled launched some time this sum • Fa HU & Home mei This will be followed by (Continued fiom rage 1) a general campaign Duectois • ock have caused delays in con- % tt £^ u " ddtlo l l "if 1 l ° tmU st.uet.on A .lanuaiy Ist date lee ol Sbt"y A has now been set to. opemne tl me thc bi ldm° , SCO m h« , As^ oon dfa ? asture -passes shoot seed ol the building fn hl urt ° heacis ’ lhe ,uea should be mowed Tins will Because ol the sinkholes pi ea ’ sam not only encourage the growth Kui tz noted, the v'hole founda- oi new glass, but contiol weeds P u * into th e soil, we do lion had to be made heaviei ® Farm Calendar and improve the appeaiance ol think they should be used than anticipated (Continued fiom v>a n e 1) the field In many cases the any Clop or 80)1 msect con SCHOLARSHIPS Lancastei County SWCD di- cdl PP in § s Wlll be consumed by The use of chlordane is The ciwaiding ol six, $3OO rectois at Fatm Cieditßldg, ine llvest ° cß icadily aflei be- ommended lor the control Faim & Home scholai ships is Lancastei ° ’ ing m 0^ e(1 Good pastiue man- soil insects this year piesenlly undei consideration -Bpm, Red Rose DHI\ cii- a “ ement ie Qnnes seveial clip- by the scholaiship committee rectors quaiteily meeting, at CUllng the Stowing sea headed by M M Smith It was Penn Dames Plant oil Route 801 „ maximum yields and undei stood that names ol the 230 Bypass »iazin M capacity winneis would be announced May 23-8 pm, Ephiata Adult To Stop Using Dieldrin in the neai futuie Faimei Class—‘ Milk Market- And Heptachlor ...

Victory For All By Max Smith, Lancaster County Agent he would keep them from all min nnd suffering? No, they had no such assurance. They knew (hey would suffer; almost as certain was death Itself. They were'free from fear of death because they knew that, though (heir enemies might take their lives, they could not destroy their souls. Death’s Deadly Weapon Jt was this same assurance that inspired Martin Luther to write: ' Let goods and kindred go. This mortal life also; The body they may kill, God’s truth abideth still; His kingdom is forever. .Jesus had not prayed for God to vanquish his enemies Peter and .John had requested no special protection when they were threatened by the Council Nor did Stephen ask to escape or call down the wrath of God on ins persecutors. Thus, the power of death was broken because Ste phen was not afraid to die Fear is death’s most deadly -.veipon. Take it away and is swiftly disarmed. Count Moltke was of a number of Germans arre^vd 1 by the Gestapo following the abor tive attempt on Hitler’s life Sud jected to cruel torture and tried in a ludicrous court trail, M ,Uke s spirit remained unbroken ’n’lns last few' weeks he felt "oier whelmed b\ . . . the presr ce of God" and the knowledge tbetGod had been with him throughout his whole life. "Now further can happen," he w-utp to his wife just before he ex ecuted. (Roger Manvel and Heinrich Fraenkel, The July Plot, Pan Books.) There was no oifter ness. He sharjd Christ’s , ctorv over death. More Than Courage "Father, forgive them, iV thev know not what they do, Jesus cried on Calvary "Lord, do.not hold this sin against ihe'm." echoed Stephen (Acts 7-60 There was more than courageous faith as he conquered death, there was also Chnstlike lo \ s ind mercy. Countless men, mamf of them not Christians, have died bravely, but it is love added to courageous faith that helps! us pass the final exam of death'as victors with Christ. r (Wt«d *n outlines copyrighted l>y the 3ivjn* n •f Christian Educofien Nahonof Ceunc t •{ the Churches ef Christ tn the U S A Rel*a»eaf ky Community Press Service J | Attend the Church of your Choice Sunday LANCASTER FARMINQ Lancaster County’s Own Farm Weekly • P O Dox 2GG - Lituz, Pa mi* OlliH 22 IG JUm St, 1-itil/, Pa 171-n Phone Lane i-acr 391-J047 Lititz 133-2191 Don Timmons-, editor Rob, 11 G Campbell, Advert Ilmctor Subsci iption price- $2 per ves .Lancaster County, $3 elsew Established Xovember 4, , ' Published every Saturdaj Lancaster Fanning, Lititz, Second Class Postace pai| Lititz.
