Miss Dorothy Neel
(Continued From Page 34)
County Director, Dot is chairman
of the County Emergency Board
which is part of the USDA
Defense Board. This Board is
made up of representatives of
ASCS, Penn State Extension,
Farmers Home Administration,
Soil Conservation Service and the
County Civil Defense Director.
The group meets twice yearly
and reviews county-wide plans to
be made operational in the event
of a national emergency. They
would prepare damage
assessment reports and oversee
food distribution as well as
monitor equipment during an
emergency. Miss Neel says some
of the information they receive at
their meetings as background is
pretty grim, and she hopes this is
one committee whose work will
never be used.
She is secretary of th« County
Disaster Committee, which is, in
turn, a part of the USDA Disaster
Committee. Their responsibility
is to assess crop and land damage
following a natural disaster, such
as Tropical Storm Agnes last
summer or the severe drought in
1961.
Dot hails from Conestoga
where she still resides, and
graduated from what is now Penn
Manor High School. She is a
member of the Conestoga United
Church of Christ.
In her spare time, Dot enjoys
reading and crotcheting, and
watching professional sports.
Her favorite teams are the New
York Yankees and Boston Red
Sox (she has two baseball
favorites so she won’t be
“disappointed”), the New York
Jets and the Boston Celtics.
Dot is second vice president of
the Lancaster Quota Club whose
primary projects are aid to girls
and aid to the hard of hearing.
hi 1966 she was honored by the
National Association of State and
County Office Employees for
outstanding service. The local
ASC office received an award for
being the outstanding office in the
northeast area in 1957.
Dot makes it clear that she
enjoys her work very much. She
said, “It is not boring by any
means because things keep
changing.” She added, “It’s a
great group of people we work
with. Aside from the farmers, I
meet and work with lots of other

Grow Healthy Vegetables
Many home gardeners have
trouble raising certain
vegetables because of disease
infested soil. Extension plant
pathologists at The Pennsylvania
State University suggest that a
rotation may help control short
lived organisms, but in many
cases resistant varieties should
be used.
people, such as feed dealers. I
enjoy v’orking them all.”
She said she considers the ASC
offices unusual in that all the
counties and districts have such
nice, compatible people working
for them. “It’s like one big happy
family.”
Dot says hwe work is made a
lot easier by the “great bunch of
people working for me.” There
are three women and a lone
young man in the office now, and
the number of years of service is
remarkable in itself. Mary
Catherine Byrd has been there 25
years; Janet Schaefer, 23, and
Leona Geist, seven years. Lloyd
Welk, who works in the field
during the summer but is the
“first man in the office” has been
there just a year.
Dot laughingly mentioned
retirement, and her hope to have
some time to pursue new in
terests and her even greater
desire to keep busy and continue
to serve others.
But retirement is still many
years off for Dot, and in the
meantime Lancaster County
farmers can continue to count on
her to explain those federal farm
programs with simplicity, ac
curacy and a great deal of un
derstanding.
