Farmers Union Schedules National Convention
The television star of “The
Bold Ones,” E. G. Marshall, will
emerge as a real man with a real
cause as he addresses the
national convention of the Far
mers Union at Houston, Tex.
Marshall will be the banquet
speaker on Wednesday night,
March 1. His subject: “National
Farm Show Schedule Change Asked
Dates of the 1973 Pennsylvania
Farm Show may be moved up to
include a weekend to give the
five-day event even broader
public appeal, State Secretary of
Agriculture Jim McHale has
disclosed.
Secretary McHale said the
proposed revision in the dates for
the event is not definite but will
be determined, after a survey of
exhibitors, at the next meeting of
the Pennsylvania Farm Show

The slow moving vehicle
emblem law originally scheduled
to take effect on December 11,
1971, will now take effect on
February 12, 1972 unless another
extension is granted.
According to the law, all
vehicles designed to operate
under 25 miles per hour must
have a triangular show moving
vehicle emblem attached, when
being operated on a highway.
This includes all farm tractors
and horse-drawn buggies, ac
cording to recent interpretations.
The use of such slow moving
vehicle emblems is in addition to
any lighting devices, flags, or
other equipment required by law.
Use of such emblems on any
other type of vehicle or as a
clearance marker or on wide
machinery or on stationary
objects along the highway is
prohibited.

Health Insurance—A Must For
the American People.”
The national president of the
Farmers Union, Tony Dechant,
said, “We are delighted that we
will be able to present Mr.
Marshall to a national audience
as a man who not only plays the
fictional role of a concerned
Commission and Committee next
April 5 and 6 in Harrisburg. He
has proposed that the 1973 show
open on Friday morning,
January 12, and continue through
Tuesday, January 16.
Secretary McHale said the aim
is to give more small fanners and
working men and women a
chance to see the big show, and,
thus “build bridges of un
derstanding between rural and
urban folks in Pennsylvania.”
FFA Report
Such emblem is not required on
a towed vehicle if the towing
vehicle displays the emblem and
it is readily visible from the rear.
An example of this would be that
such an emblem is not necessary
on a harrow, disc, plow, etc. if it
is displayed on the tractor pulling
it and is readily visible.
The emblem shall be positioned
as near as practical to the center
of the machinery and at least
three feet off the ground, but not
more than five feet.
This information was discussed
at a recent meeting of the Twin
Valley Young Farmers by
Corporal Thomas Eczko of the
Reading State Police barracks.
The vehicle code as it applies to
agriculture was also discussed.
Copies of this section of the
vehicle code may be obtained
from the vocational agriculture
department at the Twin Valley
High School.

hospital administrator, but a

performances.”
Dechant said that he had
served with Marshall on the
committee which drafted the
National Health Security Act. It
has been introduced by Senator
Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and
25 other Senators, and by
Congresswoman Martha Grif
fiths (D-Mich.) and more than 80
other House members.
“As we studied the health
situation in the United States, it
became obvious that the over
riding need of the American
people is not only complete in
surance coverage under a
government plan, but basic
reform of the health delivery
system,” Dechant said. “These
considerations guided us in
drafting the legislation which is
now before the Congress.”
“We in the Farmers Union are
especially pleased to have Mr.
Marshall come before us to
discuss in dramatic terms the
health outlook,” Dechant said.
The four-day convention of the
Farmers Union will be held
February 28 to March 2 in the
Rice Hotel.
A major feature of the con
vention will be new emphasis on
the role of Governors and state
party organizations in national
politics. The organization is in
viting Governors of key farm
states to take part in a
“dialogue” with delegates. They
will participate in issue
discussions on taxes, the
economic and political influence
of corporations, and effective
participation in a representative
political system.
Also to appear—either in
person or in special videotaped
presentations—will be major
presidential candidates.
