Baking Tip
To avoid “hot spots” inside
your oven, place baking pans in
the center of the oven. This will
permit free circulation of air and
heat on all sides and top and
bottom. Extension foods and
nutrition specialists at Penn
sylvania State University say
when putting two or more pans in
the oven at the same time,
stagger them on different
shelves, so that one is not directly
above the other. There should be
at least one inch between two
pans on the same shelf.

Max Smith to Guide Farm-City Activities
M. Maxwell Smith, County
Agricultural Agent has been
appointed Chairman of the
Lancaster County Farm-City
Council by E.M. Damon, State
Farm-City Council Chairman.
In making the announcement
Damon said that Smith will
coordinate Farm-City Week
activities in Lancaster County.
This year Farm-City Week will
be observed throughout the state

Quality of Life - A Mutual
Responsibility of Farm and City.
One of the major objectives of
Farm-City Week, Damon said, is
to bring about a better un
derstanding between our rural
and urban people. These two
groups are interdependent and
need to have a better knowledge
of each other’s role in today’s
society. They have an important
part in improving the quality of
life in the state, Damon added.
Farm-City Week has been
observed in Pennsylvania for
more than a dozen years. An
nually, it is sponsored by 50 state
wide organizations, state and
federal agencies and local
groups. Kiwanis International
