Twin Valley Installs 25 Greenhands
The November meeting of the
Twin Valley Future Farmers of
America was held last week in
the vocational agriculture
classroom of the Twin Valley
High School. President Terry
Murray presided.
Vice-president Robert Stoltzfus
reported for the 8.0.A.C.
(Building Our American Com
munities) committee that he had
contacted the Chester County
Government concerning securing
water test kits so that a survey
could be made of the purity of
water from wells in the Chester
County portion of the Twin-Valley
School District. He stated that
although final details have to be
worked out, it appears the test
kits will be available and also
stated that a similar testing
program conducted in the ,
Eastern Lancaster County School
District showed over 60 percent
of the water supplies to be con
taminated.
Lloyd Simmers reported that
the Farm-City Week committee
had made arrangements for a
Farm-City Week Breakfast to be
held at the high school on Friday
morning November 16. Boyd
Gartley of Interstate Milk
Producers was the speaker.
Invitations were sent to local
teachers, farmers, and
businessmen.
It was also reported that about
500 cases of fruit have been or
dered to date in the citrus sale.
Also the landscaping committee
reported that flowers have been
placed throughout the school. The
committee thanked Joe Miller for
his continuing help in obtaining
and caring for the flowers.
Following the business portion
of the meeting, Terry introduced
State FFA Sentinel, Ncvin Mast,
former chapter President. Mast
delivered an inspirational talk on
cooperation and what it means to
an FFA member.
After Mast’s talk, 25 new
Greenhands were received into
the chapter using the official
FFA ceremony. A Greenhand is a
first year FFA member who has
learned the history and creed of

members received the
Greenhand degree;
Mike Aikens, Ben Deaver, Ted
Ford, Robert Fryberger, Linda
Geiger, William Harris, Jim

Norris, Jeanette Oatman, Tom
Peck, Paul Rhoads, Ron Scott,
Mary Shade, Steve Souden,
Kathy Swift, Harold Zeiset, Gale
Fultz, John Sterner, Steve
Stroman, and David Hammons.
After receiving the Greenhand
Degree, six of the new members
participated in a Chapter Creed
contest. Each of the six recited
the FFA creed. A committee of
out of school FFA members
awarded FFA jacket to the
winner, Steve Kohl. In a surprise
presentation, State sentinel
Nevin Mast, presented his Twin
Valley jacket to Ben Deaver, who
placed second in the contest.

USDA Lifts Ban On Commercial
Commercial birds may now be
brought into the country, but
under new quarantine
regulations, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture (USDA)
announced.
The agency’s Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service said
that such birds must first be
certified as healthy by a
veterinarian of the exporting
nation and then must be
examined by a federal
veterinarian upon arrival in this
country.
A quarantine of at least 30 days
is required under the new
regulations in facilities operated
by the importer. During this
period, they will undergo further
testing by USDA veterinarians
for exotic Newcastle and other
infectuous poultry diseases.
Birds found to be unhealthy will
either have to be returned to the
exporting nation or destroyed by
the importer.
Quarantine facilities must be
located near one of the U.S. ports
of-entry approved by USDA for
bird imports. They are Boston,
New York, Miami, Tampa, New
Orleans, Honolulu, Seattle,
How to Cook Cheese
When using cheese with foods
to be cooked on the top of the
range or in the oven, such as in a
casserole, use low to moderate
temperatures. Extension foods
and nutrition specialists at The
Pennsylvania State University,
offer this suggestion to keep
cheese toppings from hardening.
Cover the cheese with crumbs, or
add cheese just a few minutes
before taking the casserole from
the oven. If you shred or dice the
cheese, it will melt quickly.
Remember to use moderate
temperatures.
