A View From The
When the General Assembly
sent the legislation which per
mits the State Government to
spend money for the next year
over to my desk for signature
last week, a curious thought oc
curred.
What, exactly, does $1,713,-
410,398 in general appropriations
mean to us? What does $1.71
billion really stand for?
People have always needed
safety and the chance to gather
the basic necessities of life. A
long time ago we found there is
safety in numbers. Some people
could guard the group while the
others worked. The guards were
paid a percentage of the work
er’s goods.
As life became more complex,
guarding the group and hand
ling the politics of satisfying as
many members of the group as
possible became a very complex
job. Government was created.
Land, water, fresh air, food,
money all are in demand in
modern life. In a huge State,
like Pennsylvania with more
than 11 million people, there is
competition for everything we
value in life.
That’s where politics comes in.
The government is, in effect, ap
pointed by the people to hear
the demands of all the differ
ent groups of people in Pennsyl-

vania, weigh the advantages
and disadvantages of giving
some of our resources to one
group or another, make decis
ions, and carry them out.
The Government’s resources
are money, from taxes and other
sources. The demand for a share
of the Government’s resources
comes from every corner of the
Commonwealth.
Our job, in State Government,
would be simple if only there
were enough resources available
to the State to give everybody
all he asked.
The truth is there are many
more very worthwhile causes
than there is money to spend.
For instance, education. For
the last 200 years, the United
States has pegged its hopes to
the dream of educating every
citizen to the highest possible
level. But how do you give every
man equal education?
The answer is, the Govern
ment attempts through its best
judgment to provide facilities
which can attract students and
then teach them in a proper
manner. To this end we are
spending the better part of $1
billion of State money on edu
cation in Pennsylvania.
And, then, there are those
people who are seriously ill, in
firm with age, or too young to

care for themselves. They, too,
need help from State Govern
ment. When all else is said and
done, Americans have a lot of
human kindness.
For these people, we will
spend about $250 million in the
next year. For example, $13.4
million will be spent on mental
health centers in communities
across the State. With these cen
ters spread out across Pennsyl
vania, disturbed persons can be
treated better and closer to
home.
Sewage must be removed. We
entrust that job to our govern
ments. This year the State
Health Department will distrib
ute $8 million as the State share
of the cost of operating 652 lo
cal sewage disposal plants in the
Commonwealth.
There are more people today
than ever before, so we need
more jobs. There are many
Pennsylvanians earning wages
below the poverty level; they
need better jobs. To create more
jobs all across the Common
wealth, the Pennsylvania Indus
trial Development Authority will
leceive $lB 6 million. They will
loan the money to businesses
which need money to set up new
plants or expand others, thus
cieating more jobs. We expect
to gain 50,000 new jobs for that
$lB 6 million in the next year.

New Honey-Fruit Spread
Developed At Penn State
A promising new table spread,
fruit flavored honey, has been
developed by the Agricultural
■Experiment Station at The
Pennsylvania State University.
If as good as surveys indicate,
fruit-flavored honey should in
crease sales of this product, says
Robert Berthold, Jr., graduate
assistant working on the experi
ments in blending honey and
fruits.
"Our surveys found that many
potential users of honey think it
lacks variety in flavor or is too
sweet. By adding dried fruits,
we get a tangy, sweet-sour
taste. In sampling honey blend
ed with apricots, about 80 per
cent of the persons who said
they didn’t like honey, liked it
with apricots,” he states.
Large batches of the new hor

are not able to attend schools,
so we will spend $8 million to
give special education to some
4,300 of these youngsteis.
With inci eased education, li

ey-fruit spread, made on com
mercial size equipment, were as
tasty or better than small
amounts made in the original
experiments. Berthold used a
very finely crystallized honey.
Thicker than the liquid variety,
it does not run, eliminating the
complaint that honey is messy.
Both sun-dried apricots and
freeze-dried strawberries were
found to have long shelf-life and,
if anything, the flavor improved
in time. Concentrations of 7 per
cent apricot, or 2 percent straw
berries, produced a balanced
sweet-sour flavor. As other
tangy fruits such as cherries,
pineapples, and cranberries be
come available in dried form,
they will be tested with honey.
