tones about the future of the
world at the Pennsylvania

Philip Geary, director, Air

his hope that modern technology

the pressing people problems in
today's world
Geary began by noting that
TWA serves six million chicken
dinners in the sky annually
He also described a Boeing 707
as 375 tons of technology with a
power of 80,000 horses and the*

According to Geary, this huge
machine is “ushering in the era
of democratic travel” and
making travel to all parts of the
world available to everyone Last
year, lour million people traveled
internationally and this figure is
rising rapidly
Geary termed this travel “one
ol the big happenings in our
time ” It could have, he said,
“more impact on the world than
even the atomic bomb.”
He said, “It could give people
lor the first time the chance to
discover the common humanity,
and that would be a big leap
forward ”
Geary oegan by quoting a
Ugandan s assessment of
Junior Class
Nikerle, Pennsylvania Poultry Queen;
Thomas E. Trone, master of ceremonies,
and Philip Geary, Trans World Airlines
informational director and well known
travel adventure speaker.
The eggs and signs with them speak for
themselves to show that Plain and Fancy
Egg Ranch, Elizabethtown RD3, won top
awards in eggs at the Farm Show this year.
Holding the eggs are John Snader, firm
product quality control manager, and Miss
Linda Hess, Lancaster County Poultry
Queen and daughter of Claude Hess, Egg
' Ranch operator. The firm produces eggs
Americans that “when the
American people really put their
hearts and minds to a thing, they
accomplish it better than any
other people.”
Geary then described three
great American eras. The first
was when American wilderness
was converted into a nation of
farmers. The second was the
great era of merchants and
bankers The third, which Geary
thinks we’re now entering, is
what he described as “a society
of engineers ”
But Geary thinks engineering
is more than a matter of merely
finding better and faster ways to
do things He told the story of a
man with an energetic boy who,
in order to find something for the
youth to do, cut a large map of the
world into 100 pieces and told the
boy to put it back together. When
the youth did it rapidly, the man
asked how? The boy explained
that on the other side was the
picture of a man. “I put the man
together and the world took care
of itself.” According to Geary, if
we solve the people problems of
the world, the world will take
care of itself.
Geary specifically zeroed in on
China. He explained that the
present effort of the government
in China is “to change the very
character of the Chinese people
'to one of crass materialism”. But
t Geary predicted that this effort
will fail “so long as the Chinese
people retain their written
• language because it is the
essence of their culture.” He
explained that throughout
Chinese history the entire
culture, including the language,
has been “an effort toward
beauty. These people were
determined a thousand years ago
to go through life in elegance,
grace and beauty.”
Geary urged a great national
effort toward bridge building to
engender compassion “for the
Chinese people themselves
without regard to ideology or
other considerations ”
He singled out the philosophy of
Confusius, the great Chinese
teacher of 2,500 years ago, as
indictive of the true character of
the Chinese people He said the
essence of Confusius’ teachings is
contained in the Chinese words
“Shu”, meaning literally “the
woman speaking from the heart”
or translated, “forgiveness,
tolerance for one’s brother.” And
the word “ren”, meaning
literally “two men walking
together” or translated in
English: “humanity toward one’s
brothers.” Geary drew a parallel
with this philosophy and the one
of the Great Teacher of the
western world 2,000 years ago.
Geary stated, “It could be that
in the years ahead China will be
allowed to return to the teachings
of her great teacher and the West
from 72,000 birds and markets for another
300,000. Sander said that an IGA store
buyer of eggs for 83 stores in this part of
the country has said he will use the awards
to promote eggs in the IGA stores. Sander
said that cartons were entered from 10
other stores supplied by Plain & Fancy all
got top awards.
return to the teachings of its
great teacher.”
Geary also described the first
U. S. flight to the moon and in
dicated he sees it as “the
crowning achievement of the
society of engineers.”
Commenting on how the East
and West can be brought
together, he noted that it may be
achieved through sharing
technology.
“A Russian and an American
together on a planet flight could
do more to bring together the two
great societies of engineers
Russian and American than
100 years of summit meetings.”
Also participating in the
meeting were: Robert Shelly,
Federation presdient; Thomas E.
Trone, master of ceremonies,
and Miss Joy Eileen Nikerle,
Pennsylvania Poultry Queen.
More than 400 persons packed the
large banquet hall to observe the
Federation’s Silver Anniversary.
Some Flower Power
Twenty-five hundred poin
settias and 1,000 potted
chrysanthemums gave the
Pennsylvania Farm Show flower
power.
The flowers, donated by the
Pennsylvania Retail Florists and
Flower Grower Associations, add
color to the 56th annual
agricultural event.
A feature of the associations’
exhibit are bromeliads, exotic
tropical flowers which bloom
once every two years. Growers
use gas to force them to bloom at
particular times.
The bromelaid, which has pink
flowers and protective needles,
has managed to survive more
than four million years.
