classes.
“By March when we will

cerned about the increased
risk to children. The risks ‘
are there, either walking or
bicycling or being struck by
a car, the fears and con
fusion caused among very
young children, and the ever
present danger, especially in
urbanized areas, of child
harassment by criminal
elements.
“Each school board should
carefully evaluate its local
situation. If local school
boards ignore parental

merit of Education and make
them aware of this fact.
“I have instructed the
Education Department to
inform all school boards that
they have the power to set
school hours as long as the
schedule is consistent with
state requirements.”
J. Roy Burkhart, New
Holland, RDI, writes that he
observed a state employe
exceeding the 55 mph limit
on Route 222 earlier this
month. He wants to know if
state employes “practice
what they preach.”
Gov. Shapp: “I have in
formed all cabinet members
and state employes that this
administration will not
tolerate the exceeding of the
new 55 mph speed limit on
Pennsylvania highways.
“While it shouldn’t be
necessary to have me tell
them, all state officials and
legislators must obey the
state’s speed limit just like
any other citizen. There’s no
justification for any double
standard here.”
“The circumstances in
volving the state employe
you allege was speeding will
be investigated.”
Mrs. Peggy Jones of
Glenolden writes that she “is
sick and tired of spending so
much money on milk” and
wants to know what can be
done about it.
Gov. Shapp: “Since taking
office, this administration
has fought hard to reduce or
abolish minimum retail milk
prices set by the state.
“Unfortunately, our
proposal never got anywhere

in the legislature; the courts
overturned one such
reduction, and in the past six
months inflation has pushed
retail prices higher than the
minimum for the first time
in recent years.
“Coupled with our ever
growing national inflation is
the fact that federal price
orders are now a more
significant influence on
wholesale and retail milk
prices than the others set by
the state milk marketing
board.
“My-, most recent ap
pointment to the Milk
Marketing Board, Peter
Elish of Washington County,
who will serve as board
chairman now gives this
administration clear control
of the board. The other
appointees are Harry E.
Kapleau, executive
Secretary; Nina Gowell of
Pittsburgh, and J. Lin
Huber, a Shaffer admi
nistration appointee.
“In the months ahead, I
am hopeful we will be able to
make the needed changes
which will give the consumer
a break on the cost of milk as
well as provide a fair margin
of profit for both the milk
farmer and the dealer.
“While the state cannot
overide federal policies in
this matter, we intend to do
all we can and double our
efforts to convince
Washington, D. C. that the
consumer is indeed fed up
with the high cost of one of
life’s necessities.”
