ID7O 4 On Keeping the Good Life If \mcri(ans don't losn the will to u»n Unuc working and producing. it is mason able to conclude that the nation lias solccd the basic problem ol production. It would certainly appear that the tech nology and know how now exists to meet human needs and wants in this country tar beyond the wildest dreams ot the people in any precious generation in any other conn try in the history of man. The biggest production challenges now receive around man himself. Can man discipline himself enough to use constructively the enormous power and potential cchich arc his for the taking? Or will he insist on placing and letting George do it until the power and potential are lost? Inflation and unemployment today are proofs that with improper management, the promise still can be lost. Newspaper head lines about local, national and international ecents show that only cigilance and deter- Moth Rises As DDT Falls The state recently released a report indicating that for the first time in 10 years, Lancaster County is threatened by the gypsy moth. Ten townships in the coun ty have the moths in proportions far beyond those known before and other townships show infestations for the first time. More than 10,000 acres of forests in northern Pennsylvania were stripped by the moth this year. Reports indicate the damage may spread substantially next year and begin in Southeastern Pennsyl vania. While Lancaster County isn't expected to have major problems wath the moth un til 1972, neighboring Chester County is ex pected to ha\e a large problem by next year. Heavy infestation is reported in near ly all townships in Chester County. The moth gamed its foothold when DDT was banned as an insecticide. It was because of its residual action that DDT came under fire and it was this same residual action continued effectu e- ness over a relatuely long period of time that made DDT so effective against the gypsy moth. Now. other chemicals are re portedly able to stop the moth, but require National Farm-City Week With two-thirds of our population crowded into only two per cent of the land, many of our people are denied economic opportunities, adequate Irung space, health, cultural fulfillment, and those spiritual values without which no nation can achieve greatness The time for action is at hand for care ful plans to be formulated, and for decisions to be made at local governmental levels to foster the improved distribution of popula tion and accompanying economic activity needed during the decade of the 1970's and bevond The Government can provide as sistance. but the effort will succeed onlv as all Americans take part in developing a policy of sound national growth. In this effort, city dwellers and rural people alike have reason to work together I, LANCASTER FARMING Lancaster County’s Own Farm Weekly P 0 Box 266 Lititz, Pa 17543 Office 22 E Mam St, Lititz, Pa 17543 Phone Lancaster 394 3047 or Lititz 626 2191 Robert G Campbell, Adveitismg Director Zane Wilson Managing Ediloi Subscription mice $2 per \eai in Lancaster CounU S 3 elsewhere Es'abhshed Nocembei 4, 1955 Published e\c ' Satuidaj bv Lancaster Faimi’ig Lititz, Pa Scconu Postage paid at Lititz Pa 17543 Menibei o t Newspaper Faim Editois Assn Pa NewspcP'-i Publishes lation, and National Newspaper Association mm.itum can prosnu 1 the promise ol a good lutmo. There aie those apparently who feel that once piuspenlv is attained, it is attain ed lot ever and that once modern com cm ences and luxuries are attained, they will last former. But it is probably true that prosperity is harder to keep than to attain. If the man with money becomes weak, the robber's life is an easy one. So despite our tremendous productive capacity and know-how. it is true today as it has always been true that people them selves have a large say in determining their own future. They can fiddle away their fu ture or manage it for their own good. And it is significant that those qualities of work, perserverence. and Christianity which in the past helped produce hope and high living standards for millions today can maintain that prosperity and spread the good life to millions more tomorrow. two to three additional sprayings and a tre mendous increase in costs. The current inability of Pennsylvania to shoulder additional costs is well known. The moth is on the rise. This situation with the moth poses some interesting and challenging questions, such as: Can Pennsylvania afford to risk defolia tion of its huge forests? Will nature somehow achieve a balance without the use of DDT and bring the moth into control before huge losses of forests occur? Is DDT, applied selectively to stop the spread of pests such as the moth, really a greater threat to the environment than wholesale defoliation of forests? Have the possible residual effects of defoliation, such as floods from increased water run-off, been adequately considered? While DDT may have its faults, isn’t it possible that there are worse things than DDT? Ban DDT. It makes a good slogan. But slogans generally are designed to appeal to the emotions. Slogans often don’t make good sense. toward common goals. The well-being of urban America and the welfare of rural America will increasingly intertwine as our total population expands Better hung m the one depends on better hung in the other NOW. THEREFORE. I. RICHARD NIXON. President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of November 20 through No\ ember 26. 1970, as National Farm-City Week and call upon all citizens to participate in this obser vance. I request that leaders of agricultural or ganizations, business groups, labor unions, youth and women's clubs, ciuc and frater nal associations, schools and others join in noting not only the interdependent roles ot producers and consumers of America’s agricultural abundance but also their op portunities for cooperation in building for the future. I urge the Department of Agriculture, land-grant educational institutions, and all appropriate organizations and Government officials to carry out programs to mark the new significance of National Farm-City Week, including public meetings and ex hibits, and piesentations in the press and on ladio and teleusion IN WITNESS WHEREOF I hat e he c unfo set m\ hand to s s>vh da\ of Octubc., in the \eai of oui Lrd mnciee i hundred and se\ent\. and of the Independence of the United Slates of America the one bun dled and ninet\-fiitn RICHARD NIXON To Inspect Cattle Man.v local fccdlots arc being filled with cattle for the winter fceti.ng season The dangei of shipping fever, or other infec tions. is alwa.vs greater in times of stiess and excitement.
