Vacation On Farms
Can Be Enjoyable
For City Families
A family vacation down-on
the-faro is becoming the “m”
thing with many city and subur
ban families who want to get
away ficna noise and crowds
They're finding that farm va
cations offer something differ
ent and at the same time bring
them closer to nature and to
the American heritage depicted
by farm life.
Now every family can enjoy
a farm vacation in beautiful
Pennsylvania countryside even
if it doesn’t have an “Uncle
Ned” a n d “Aunt Sue” from
whom to wrangle an invitation
Many Lancaster County farm
families have opened their
homes and their barns, woods
and ponds —to vacation guests.

1 o Be I heir Uwn Good salesmen
A prominent dairy leader told
Inter-State 1 Milk Producers’
members, Thursday, that the
first obligation they have is to
be good salesman. “I am a great
believer that we as farmers are
going to have to sell our own
self and our own philosophy.”
J Lin Huber, Chairman of
the Pennsylvania Milk Control
Commission and Past President
of the Cooperative, speaking at
the 1968 Young Cooperator Pro
gram at Downmgton Inn, said,
“Be proud you are a farmer
You need to tell (urban) people
that if they make it so hard you
can’t produce food for them
profitably they will in turn lose
the privilege of living without
producing food for themselves ”
Huber told the farm ladies
present, “You ladies in your
dubs and in the super market
can do something no one else
can do ” Referring to selling
fai m ideas to the public, Huber
said, -“The face and the words

This Farm Wife & Mother
Of Seven Loves To Sing
by Everett Nenswanger
Lancaster Farming Editor
Caring for a family of seven
fine children, along with gar
dening and canning fruits and
vegetables keeps this energetic
farm wife busy, to say the least
But Mrs. Richard Hawk still
finds time to collect swans (like
vases and lamps), read (she’s
on an exciting one now); oil
paint (a realistic picture of a
deer hangs on the living room
wall); and plant roses, gladioli
and other beautiful shrubbery
that graces the farm home lawn
at 226 Pitney Road, just east of
Lancaster.
But although Mrs Hawk talks
enthusiastically about her many
home and garden creations, she
leaves no doubt that her fust
and favorite extra-family love is
singing
And sing she does After top
ping the Couriers Quartette’s
1967 Spring Talent Contest, held
in Harrisburg, (she also won it
■'il‘f’l963) Mrs. Hawk, at the prod
ding of her husband, decided to
cut a record. That was last July
and in December tlm long-play
