R.iv S.mder was called upon to
discuss ,i subject assigned to him
prior to the meeting Ray said
lhal. “to satisfy the needs of the
egg business marketing agencies
must give buyers what they want
when they want it regardless of
what the situation might be
Sometimes doing this poses a
hardship on the marketer but
We must work the works of
him who sent me. —(John
9:4).
Often our way seems to be
blocked only because we have
not opened up the channels to
our good by acting faithfully
on the ideas that God gives us.
We need to meditate carefully
and thoughtfully on the leali*
zation that God works through
us, through His ideas in our
mind. Act on the ideas that
God gives us, and good results
will materialize.

lem is one of buying or selling
eggs. “In the future marketers

Tom Smith stated that, ‘there
is quite a difference between our
costs and those of the south.
-Then costs of chicks, pullets,
housing, feed, etc, are as much
as six cents less than ours

Holiday Season
Decoration* arc a part of the

we must face the fact that mnny
of these extras present an addi

We urge everyone to be very
careful with Christmas trees be
mu near the fireplace or other
open flame. One good way to
prevent having the tree as a fire
hazard is to buy a freshly cut
tree and then keep it in water or
moist sand or soil while it is in
the house. A dried out Christmas
tree is a very serious fire hazard.
Candles should not be placed
near trees or near curtains or
drapes. Keep fire prevention in
mind when decorating this holi
day season.

thing should be done to have our
Pennsylvania eggs especially re

quality should be sold to the con

President Burkholder appoint
ed Irwin Musser, Richard Buss,
and David Lehman to the Nom
ination Committee to report at
the January 9th meeting.
He also appointed Sam Ber
enson and K. M Souders as the
Auditing Committee.
General discussion indicated
that both buying and selling
pressures exist . . . but the sell
ing pressure is the greater of
the two.
The South may have six cent
savings but, they receive five
cents less, therefore, there is
not enough difference that mak
