number of snow storms we’d
have in a winter. His for
mula was that he would
count how many days there
were from the first snow
deep enough to track a cat
’til the full moon. Can you

“We’d need 11 more full-time
men to do the job,” Bass told
the directors.
Several alternatives were
discussed, but there was no
action taken other than a
general agreement to con
tinue studying ways of
preparing conservation
plans for every one of
Lancaster County’s 6000
farms. Presently, only about
a thousand of these have
plans. One solution would be
to have individual farmers
contract with private firms
for the preparation of plans.
Many conservation con
tractors, it was noted,
presently do a good deal of
the planning. Another
alternative discussed was to
have area vo-ag teachers
work with farmers in
preparing plans.
Chairman ' Stauffer
commented that getting the
plan was only the first step,
and farmers should
remember that they’ve got

James Olson, area con

responsible for Lancaster

said that a new man should

spring to replace Frank
Lucas who recently tran

New Holland’s Ashlea
Village housing development
has been a perennial topic on
the district meeting agenda.
At the latest meeting, it was
reported that the sewerage
treatment plant for the
borough of New Holland is
still not adequate for the
increased load that would be
produced by a development
like Ashlea Village. It was
reported that letters from
the district have been
written to both Governor
Milton Shapp and Depart
ment of Environmental
Resources head Maurice
Goddard about the situation.
