Dr Charles L Hosier, dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State told a section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington, DC , that ex periments in weather modification are too often crude and based on short-term results: “The cost of today’s weather modification experiments should not be justified on the basis of rain made or hail prevented m the short term but rather on the long term development of a rationale r or managing at mospheric resources ” “Perhaps the met urologists have been guilty of pc-nutting their work to be sold on the basis of undemonstrated short-term results ” Dr Hosier a meteorologist and chairman of the weather modification panel advising the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency, called for more sophisticated experiments taking advantage qf physical nd mathematical models and in volving vast increases in surface and satellite observation The aircraft, balloons, sensors, telemetry, data handling and computational facilities needed to examine even a single cumulus cloud which develops into a shower exceed the aggregate of all of the apparatus (now) brought to bear on cloud seeding in the U. 5.,” he said. Dr Hosier, whose address keynoted the session, acknowledged that very serious moral-legal problems have been posed by the successes of cloud seeding- “an almost certain consequence of changing the weather, is that some in dividuals will be affected ad versely even though many others would be benefited. “Thus while the morality of the Prophet Samuel calling upon the Lord to bring down the lightning and thunder and the hail to smite the Philistines . might never have been seriously contested in Sabbath or Sunday, perhaps the Philistine point of view was never adequately presented.” William Holloway (left), Chester County 4-H beef leader, congratulates James and David Wylie, Nottingham. Jim was champion senior showman and Dave was champion junior showman at the Chester County 4-H beef show. Frame, Jr., Exton Placings in the heavyweight class were: first, John Holloway; second, James Wylie; third, Robert Frame, Jr.; fourth, Barbara Sickler; and fifth, Diane Beam, Elverson Dr Hosier advocated the study of very minor perturbations as a means of deducing well-defined patterns over a large weather system Some of these minor influences are man-made- men has inad vertently changed the weather by almost every technological ad vance he has made. However, satellite ob servations, particularly by remote sensing, could provide a warning as to the growth of such inadvertent weather modification. “Offending human activities could be detected and remedial measures taken,” Hosier con cluded Albright Joins Lancaster Labs The appointment of Dr. Fred R. Albright as Assistant Technical Director was announced last week by Dr Earl Hess, President of Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. Dr Albright, a Lancaster county native, is returning to this area following a two year post doctoral research appointment at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. Valedictorian of his 1962 class at Conestoga Valley High School, Dr. Albright continued his studies at Muhlenberg College and the University of Illinois. He was awarded his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the latter institution in 1970. Dr. Albright, his wife Blakelyn and their daughter Brooke have recently moved from Baltimore to 2001 Pine Drive, Lancaster.

In the Hereford heifer class, first was awarded to Howard Stoltzfus while his brother Darrel placed second. Following the judging, five steers were selected to represent Chester County at the Penn sylvania State Farm Show, January 8-12,1973.
