PEMA Discusses Cholesterol and Egg Promot
At a recent meeting of the
Pennsylvania Egg Marketing
Association (PEMA), Sam
Berenson gave a short report on
the Cholesterol movement.
He read a letter written by a
member to Senator Schweiker
and explained that the members
had also written to publications
and others. He was very vigorous
about the lack of understanding
of people about nutrition and
cholesterol
Cliff Walton, a steady attendee
in the past, came to the meeting
to suggest a promotion deal on
eggs he felt would be immediate,
and could be spread over the
entire country in time
Cliff suggested that PEMA
members pick out certain
restaurants in their travels
where they notice good service
and quality in eggs These
restaurants, carefully chosen and
a few at a time, would receive a
plaque they could display in
dicating the restaurant had
earned it by serving excellent

eggs. Along with the plaque they
would receive 1,000 place mats,
suggesting different ways of
serving eggs and what character
traits these indicate. Following
the use of the 1,000 mats, the
restaurant could purchase a
supply at a very reasonable rate.
The group voted unanimously
to go forward with the program
and Russ Knorr was named
chairman of a committee to
name members and work out
details
The group decided that if
possible the secretary should

Awards Dinner at the University

In the absence of Bob Shelly,
Berenson read a report on a
suggested Fowl Disposal
Program. It is understood that
legislation is being prepared and
it is hopeful that it can pass

Jerry Faulkner, UEP
executive vice president and
general manager, said the
Washington office is located in
the Hotel Washington. It is
staffed by James Fleming, UEP
director of public and govern
mental relations and temporary
clerical help Other UEP staff
members, including himself, will
work from the Washington office
as the need required, Faulkner
said
UEP called an emergency
meeting of the egg industry in
Atlanta on November 6 to discuss
the chaotic situation facing the
industry because of continued
below the cost of production farm
prices for eggs. Special
emergency legislation was
recommended at that meeting.
Following a week in which the
legislative idea was placed into

was decided that a close watch
would be placed on such
legislation and a committee
would act rapidly in behalf of
PEMA.
Regis Puhl reported that he
had deputized everyone to obtain
a new member and some had
already gone to work. He in
dicated that the organization
should have a much more im
portant image than it has now
and can grow to be exceptionally
powerful.
An announcement will be made
at the next meeting regarding
contest for slogan and jingle for
which prizes will be given.
Puhl announced that the
December 10 meeting will be at
The Embers, Carlisle, with only a
short business session and a
“fashion show of fall wearing
apparel” because it will be ladies
night.
Fred Pontz went to great length
to uncover information on labor
relations in efficient plant
bill form, egg industry leaders
and executives of leading poultry
trade associations met in
Washington November 14 to
consider the legislation and draft
an acceptable bill, Faulkner said.
“UEP accepted the respon
sibility of coordinating the
congressional work necessary for
the introduction and passage of
the egg industry’s recom
mendation,” Faulkner continued
“The temporary office in
Washington will facilitate our
work by providing a local address

Regional Plant
Group Is Discussed
Exploratory talks with other
statewide plant food associations
in the Northeast have been ap
proved by the board of directors
of the Delaware-Maryland Plant
Food Association, Inc.
Tentatively scheduled for
January 25,1972, just prior to the
January 26-28 annual meeting of
the Pennsylvania Plant Food
Educational Society on the Penn
State campus at State College,
the talks would explore
possibilities of cooperation and
coordination on a multistate
regional basis.
In other board action during its
third annual meeting November
16 and 17 at the Holiday Inn-
Downtown in Baltimore, the
Delaware-Maryland association
approved a Joint summer
meeting and tour of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s
Agricultural Research Center at
nearby Beltsville with its New
Jersey counterpart.
No formal action was taken on
a proposal by an association
director, Dr. William H. Mitchell
of Newark, Del., that the group
consider studying the long range
IT'S TOUGH
TO OUT-FARM OUR OIME-EIGHTY
THAT’S a real bold statement... but we’ve seen
proof of it many times. Every time we take the
One-Eighty out for a field demonstration, the reactioji
is always the same: “Never saw a tractor that handled
so easily ... Sure moves out with a 4-bottom plow
for only 64 horsepower*.”
The easy handling of the One-Eighty comes from
its XT-inspired features . . . power steering, power
clutch, double-action brakes, and three-circuit live
hydraulic system. Its smooth power comes from a
6-cyhnder diesel or gasoline engine ... plus the ex
clusive Traction Booster system that applies power
when and where you need it. Pretty hard to out-farm
features like these. Going Orange is Going Great!

Caulk commented that the
