Old Farmer’s Riddle: When can
you carry water in a sieve?
(Answer below.)
Ask the Old Farmer: Some very
old Connecticut houses have a
hiding room, maybe in the cel
lar, But anyway some place
close to the big chimney. These
old chimneys had tricky spots
where a person could hide when
Indian raids were common.
That so? L.G., Hartford,
Much more likely connected the
Underground Railway . We’ve seen a few.

WEED CONTROL
Pramitol® liquid gets rid of weeds where you don’t
want them. In fences. And around buildings, silos,
feedlots, gas tanks, and pumps. It’s great for knocking
out weeds where you can’t mow.
Pramitol liquid works like a charm. One early spray
keeps weeds down all season.
Try Pramitol 25E liquid. You’ll find all kindsof usesfor it.
Or, if you prefer, use easy to spread Pramitol pellets.

Goal
Jack S. Watson, President of
the United Way of Lancaster
County, has announced that
thirty-six United Way Campaign
service agencies will share in this
year’s goal of $1,857,040.
The goal was determined after
months of preparation and study
by the United Way Budget
Committee under the direction of
Fred R. Bahrenburg, Budget
Chairman, and Nelson F. Craige,
Vice-President of United Way
Planning and Allocations.
Although the goal is up $183,476
over the actual amount raised in
last year’s United Way campaign
it is $102,810 below the amount
requested by the member
agencies.
Budget Chairman Bahrenburg
stated: “We carefully reviewed
each agency’s application for
support to evaluate the true
minimum need for human ser
vices in the year ahead. We
realize that people want their
gifts to work hard on the local
level in the most effective way.
The 36 members of the Budget
Committee looked hard at
business and cash management
practices, and we can assure
Lancaster Countians that the
goal is at a level reflecting true
needs.”
The United Way of Lancaster
County last year served over
131,600 'persons, not including
the 189,704 persons served by
local hospitals, which also
receive support.
A breakdown of allocations for
United Way services are: Ser
vices Families and Children,
$396,459; Health Services,
$451,168; Youth and Group Work
Services, $457,448; Community
and Humanitarian Service

our member agencies provide for
the people of Lancaster County.

motivation if we failed to meet
the challenge that lies before us.
The United Way represents the
voluntary way of helping to meet
human needs. I’m proud to do my
part and I hope all people will join
in making our United Way
campaign a complete success
this year.”
The United Way goal is the
result of a partnership with the
Lancaster County Chapter of the
American National Red Cross.
Total needs of United Way
agencies, plus those of the Red
Cross determined the final
target of $1,857,040 for the 1973
campaign.
