—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. June 17. 1967 4 From Where We Stand... Oleo, Coleo, and Away We Galea! According to the '64 agricultural census, there are 2000 farm families in Lancaster County who derive fifty per cent. or more, ot their total farm incomes from producing milk. Think of that' No county in Pennsylvania comes close to matching that figure. Sitting in the Host Town Motel with some 125 dairy folks assembled Tuesday night for the" Lancaster County Dairy Princess Pageant, we couldn’t help won dering how some of the rest of our stal wart dairymen were spending the even ing. Were they sitting at home watch ing some stale rerun on TV as they washed down oleomargarine sand wiches with soft drinks and sipped cof fee flavored with so-called “non-dairy creamers”? Of course, the travel problem would prevent some from attending, a weather delayed work schedule might account for others who were missing But we’d bet everything on the fact that the bulk of the absences were due primarily to DIS INTEREST You might ask 'How can anyone not be interested in the promotion and well-being of his own industry 0 ' We continually ask ourselves this question as we see activity after activity attended and supported by the same small number of individuals Where are the rest’’ Too busy 0 Too many more important things to do? Or. just not interested 0 No. every one is interested in the product that rep resents their livelihood Perhaps they truly don't understand the problem Lancaster County’s tremendous milk business has grown over many gen erations of farm families. It ceased grow ing a few years back as milk and milk products began to lose ground to substi tutes and to competitive products. It has been out-promoted at every turn. The industry will continue to shrink in direct proportion to the disinterest of its mem bers. If you are a disinterested member, you can be assured the weight of your disinterest will be felt by those persons gamely trying to carry the ball while nine-tenths of their team warms the bench. Maybe some dairymen are not con vinced a lull-scale Princess Program is the best way to promote their product Perhaps it’s not. however, it's one way ot communicating which the consuming public understands But promotion of milk products goes lar beyond that done through princess pageants It is a very large job and one that has to be continu ed with diligence and imagination For those who missed Tuesday's event we can report that the affair was successful m every way. It was successful because a lew determined people thought it was worth doing. The girls who com peted to represent YOUR industry wexe all fine examples of American young womanhood. Any industry could be proud to be represented by any one of the three contestants What influence the Princess, Anna Mae Donough, may have on the milk-consuming habits of other county youngsters in the coming year is.

If we think so little of ourselves now, can we expect outsid ers to do otherwise? Super-nationalism can be a danger ous thing, but that is no reason we should hasten to the other extreme. There is an old saying to the effect that “Pride goet’h before a fall ’ We always took that to mean that he who is too overwhelmingly pioud ot himself is about to step off the edge of the earth. But this week we see that old saying in another light An individual, or a nation, that loses the ingredient of pride has nowhere to go but down Our flag is just a symbol, ot course, but inherent in our respect for that sym- bol is everything that made America the greatest nation in the history of civiliza- tion It is not necessary that we wave it tauntingly before our adversaries in the bulbing but we must respect it and we must demand that others m the world do also But perhaps before we can rightful ly demand respect from others, we must reestablish respect for ourselves as Americans. Can you think ot a better way to begin than by having pride in our symbol of freedom of democracy of AMERICA?

Let one attend your Church and apply for membership, and there may be comparatively little difficulty getting this past the governing board of your church. In fact, you may even find that some of your people will look upon'.liim with a sense of satisfaction as "our Negro member." Bid, in stead of one, let that number* be' multiplied and let the congrega tion be faced with the possibility of receiving a large group’ of Negroes as members perhaps, in time, a majority and then we find a different attitude. Loss Of “Our Ways" It wasn't that the people In Jerusalem had anyth,ng against the Gentile convert as oucli, you understand, but they w *rf* rightly afraid of the changes these new people would bring into < the Church.
