— Lancaster Farming. Saturday. June 22.1968 4 From Where We Time To Promote Eggs For Lunch Isn’t it about time we stop thinking of eggs as only breakfast food and started really selling eggs the way they do tooth paste, tea and you-know-what-all? Certain ly, we have the right product to sell since eggs are almost perfect nutritionally. State Senator Rollin B. Glewwe of Min nesota told a recent Egg Retailer Clinic that he believes the egg industry should fight for more than the breakfast share of the con sumer's dollar. And we agree. It is time we start using some up-dated methods and get some good ideas working to promote the increased use of eggs es pecially on the local level like a bill board message for those on their way to work that says. “Take an egg to lunch". Or we could get a slogan going like “An egg at nine and you'll sleep fine”. Many products are sold because they offer the kids trading cards and contest inserts. Why not eggs? In our personal language at least, we could strike such common expressions as: “Hen pecked’", “Flew the coop”, and “He’s chicken”. And we might even be able to change the name of our product. Just think how much more chicken the lady of the house would buy if she could get it dis guised as “Hero” meat and could pick up several dozen “Thunderbolts”. We believ e technical changes are neces sary to make eggs easier to eat. How about a household egg machine that stores, shells, cooks and delivers them ready to eat. Here in Lancaster County the local poultry people are organized enough to go to work on some new ideas in egg promotion and if properly carried out could be the greatest thing that has happened to eggs since the chicken. At least that’s the way it looks from where ue stand. ★ ★ ★ ★ Social Ailment, Not Poverty Shocking pictures of violence and van dalism accompanied by the much publicized thesis that poverty is the prime cause of spreading lawlessness have led many people to assume that the growing trend toward anarchy can be arrested by guaran teeing e\ eryone economic security. But, the evidence is becoming more obvious every day that the rise m all forms of lawbreak ing, including rioting and looting, involve far more than the actions of desperate poverty-stricken people. Studies are show ing that in cities such as Washington, D. C. most of the rioters and looters were in far Farm News This Week Lin Huber Tells Young Dairymen To Be Their Own Good Salesmen Page 1 Penna.

Many of those arrested held good jobs.* Another bit of evidence indicating that our social troubles run far deeper and more ominous than poverty alone is contained in a startling Saturday Evening Post article by Mr. Bill Davidson on shoplifting. Mr. David son's findings reveal an astounding decline in the character and integrity of a whole people. Retailers lose from $1 billion to $3 bil lion annually to shoplifters. More than half oi these thieves are teen-agers. Where a de cade ago there were only a few thousand shoplifting arrests among teen-agers each week, there are now about 100,000 a week. These are the statistics. They are not near ly as chilling as the story behind them.'ln the words of the Post, “The typical teen-age shoplifter in the United States is a girl (girls outnumber boys by about 20 to 1 in this particular area of crime. . . .) She is likely to be 16 years old . . . and her father prob ably is a business or professional man earn ing $15,000 a year or more. She gets a siz able allowance and has enough money to buy all she needs." The teen-age shoplifter does not think her particular form of theft is a crime, but rather a game. There is no moral understanding of right or wrong. At least part of the blame for this lies with parents. As a former FBI agent says, “Chil dren learn by example. They see their mothers eating grapes in a supermarket without paying for them, or slipping sticks of butter into an oleomargarine carton be fore going to the check-out counter, and they develop the philosophy that it’s all right to steal from a big, rich organization because nobody will miss it. Then they hear Daddy at home bragging about cheating his company on his expense account and the government on his income-tax return. They're taught from childhood that any thing’s OK, just so long as you don’t get caught.” Merchants in many areas of the country are cooperating with police by prosecuting all offenders. They are also endeavoring to make their stores less vulnerable to the would-be shoplifter. Several communities have developed educational campaigns to show the tragic consequences of this petty form of thievery. Mr. Davidson cites the case of a 17-year-old physician’s daughter who shoplifted a two-dollar costume-jewelry brooch. The girl wants to become a lawyer but her police record may keep her out of college and prevent her from getting a good j'ob. An educational pamphlet entitled, “Teen-Agers Beware: Shoplifting Is A Crime,” has been distributed widely to parents and students in at least one com munity. It tells how a boy was denied en trance to Annapolis because a military se curity check revealed his conviction for stealing three cases of soda pop, and how “with a police record it can be difficult, in some cases impossible, to go into any busi ness or profession where a special license is required, such as law or real-estate brokerage.” There are those who will see no connec tion between the Post story on shoplifting and the riots in Washington, D. C. and else where. But there are many, too, who will find in Mr. Davidson’s account symptoms oi a social ailment in the United States that has nothing to do with the physical exis tence of poverty. At least that’s the way it looks from where we stand.

To Practice Farm Safety We often urge farmers to take time to be safe with their ani mals and their farm machinery. Now I’d like to remind farm ers of the growing custom of city folks spending time, or a vacation, in the country or on the farm. The fai'n owner should be sure that Ms city realizes the dangers of farm animals, electuc fences, farm ponds and other activities with which they are net well ac quainted With a growing trend of more urban folks visiting the farm, it is important that these folks he warned of these dangers in order to prevent accidents.
