Vo-Ag Teachers
Hear Jay Irwin
The Lancaster County Teach*
ers of Vocational Agriculture
held their monthly meeting lute
Tuesday afternoon at Pcqucu
Valley High School Vo-Ag de
partment and heard Jay Irwin,
Associate Lancaster County
Agent, outline the new tractor
driving certification program
that became effective in Jan
uary 1968. Under the new child
labor laws a 14 and 15-ycar-old
youth who wishes to operate
farm tractors and farm equip
ment on farms other than at
heme must carry a certificate.
A certified teacher is also re
quired to implement the 10 or
20 hour course. For this reason,
with the backing of Penn State,
Irwin appeared before the
teachers to explore the pos
sibility of setting up the re
quired classes of instruction
within the county Vo-Ag depart
ments to enable students to pass
the written and driving tests
needed to satifactorally com
plete the course and receive the
wallet card certificate.
"The problem of scheduling a
course where all interested per
sons could attend was discussed
and also the grade level where
it should be implemented. No
final plans were made.
“It is important to abide by
the law,” Irwin said. “A person
could really be in trouble if an
accident occurred involving a
youth who was not certified.”
The 4-H tractor clubs are
planning to conduct a program
to prepare interested members
to qualify for certificates,”
Irwin reported.
