Murray stated the committee
felt that a paper drive would help
to improve the environment in
two ways: first, it would help to
recycle waste paper, thereby
reducing littering and air
pollution which results from
burning papers; secondly, money
earned from the paper drive will
be used to purchase landscaping
plants for the High School
grounds, in an effort to make
them more colorful and at
tractive.
Members voted and approved a
motion to have the paper drive
February 19 and to use most of
the money for landscaping of the
High School grounds. Trucks
covered all state routes in the
district from 8 a.m. to 12 noon
Saturday, February 19. Other
trucks covered streets in Honey
Brook, Morgantown, Elverson,
Geigertown, Plowville and
Gibraltar.

By far, the lowest cost feeder-bunk
combination you can buy. This rugged
all-in-one Van Dale shaker feeder
costs as little as $23 a foot plus in
stallation. Expert engineering allows
silage to be delivered up to 102 feet
with only a 3 H.P. motor. You save
added dollars through lower main
tenance because its unique design
virtually eliminates moving parts (no
auger, feeder chain or belt).

no feeder like it for handling such a
total variety of feeds... including

cost quality will make your non-stop
feeding a stainless steal.
