production in comparison with

their operation with others of the
same type.
Yosts are active in the Bart
Fire Company. He is treasurer
and Mrs. Yost does the work for
him. He goes on fire calls so they
have a monitor in their house.
This has meant many trips to the
fields for Mrs. Yost when calls
come in. Now they have installed
a citizens band radio with a unit
in the house, a unit in the pick-up
truck and another unit on the
combine so Ivan can be reached
quickly. Ivan was a director of
the fire company and was
chairman of their sale committee
two years. They hold a large
auction sale the first Saturday of
March each year. Mrs. Yost is a
member of the ladies auxiliary
and helps at their food stands at
sales, hoagie sales and at their
chicken barbecue in September.
The women furnish the other food
that goes with the chicken and
pack the boxes.
Ivan participated in the public
affairs education program
conducted jointly by the
Cooperative Extension Service
and the Department of
Agricultural Economics and
Rural Sociology of the Penn State
University over a three year
period, terminating in a
European tour in March 1973.
About 30 men between 25 and 40
years of age received W. K.
Kellogg fellowships, un
derwriting the costs.
The first year he went to
Hazleton four different weeks, a
total of 20 days, and studied
economics, sociology, com
munications, public speaking and
meeting mangement. He went to
Penn State University the next
two years. When they went to
Europe they were accompanied
by their wives and the union staff.
Their European tour included
Spain, The Netherlands and
England. In Spain, which is an
old country and world power,
they studied their political
system. They studied about their
farm cooperatives. They are
small and totally run by the
members. Machinery is owned
by the co-ops and harvesting is
done by them. The Spanish
people are mostly of the Catholic
faith. They also went to a winery
and to a hog operation. -
The reason for going to The
Netherlands was to study land
usage where they drain their
lands and to study the social
encounters in putting people in
new communities.
In England the government
scheduled bus tours. They
studied the social system. They
were surprised at their intensive
farming program. They also
studied their new communities or
towns fifty miles out of London.
In each country they had one
day of study with officials of
universities. They also studied
their imports, exports and their
trade with the world and how it
related to us in the United States.
