• Ida's Notebook Life on our farm has been so busy this month and then unexpected things keep popping up. I like to pause in the front yard for a few moments early in the morning before the days activities take over all my time. Seeing the sun come over the tree tops of an island in the Conestoga, seeing a mother duck with twenty young one (pity her) and likening to familiar and unfamiliar bird calls helps me realize what rich blessings we have all around us. But back to pulling sweetcorn and I have an unwanted companion to help me. Since we sold three pigs at the 4-H Round-up the other one refuses to stay in its pen it even breaks out of the pig house.

It seems we often travel through Harrisburg on our way to visit my sister or our son at Penn State. However, we usually are in too much of a hurry to stop and see much Fort Hunter with its historic three-story mansion house artifacts, covered bridge and view of Susquehanna River. At last my curiosity has been satisfied and we’ve had a tour ofthis beaufiful graystone house built on the fort’s foundation.

The Forum is sponsored by the Harrisburg Patriot News, and its purpose was to discuss the problems of today’s youth, according to Susan. The cabinet met weekly during the fall and winter. Susan says, “The Forum was one of the prime movers behind the 18-year old vote.” The end result was sending a list of 25 proposals to the legislature. Unfortunately, Susan says, none of the proposals has yet been enacted. Susan is a member of the Mill Creek Lutheran Church, where she teaches sixth grade Sunday School class. She said, “I started out working with the fourth grade class as a helper, and then they needed someone to take on the sixth grade, so I did.” Susan is working full time as a dental assistant for Dr. Daniel Bomberger in Myerstown. She began working Saturdays last winter, and he trained her so she could begin full-time work after graduation. She said she “works with check-up patients in cleaning teeth, and works with children in discussing proper dental hygiene. Being in 4-H has meant a lot to Susan. She has traveled many places, including Washington, D.C. where she participated in the Northeast Teen Agricultural Leadership Conference last year. She spent a week there getting training in leadership and citizenship while touring the nation’s capital. Susan said, “Through 4-H I’ve learned what respon sibility really is. The friendships I’ve made are invaluable and I’ve really had a chance to travel a lot.” She attended the Pennsylvania Association of Farmer Cooperatives Summer Institute at Shippensburg this summer as a second year scholar, and said, “It really meant a lot more to me as a second year explorer.” She was selected there to attend the American Institute of was part of a defensive chain of forts erected against French and Indian invaders. They reached from Harrisburg through Central Pa. to Sunbury and on to Northern Pa. to protect the pioneers. At one time it was a thriving community with mills, distilleries, stores, smith shops, schools, cob blers, weavers and taverns.

She was chosen first alternate, and as such wasn’t eligible to make the trip unless she raised her own funds. Susan was not about to be left home, and set about getting sponsors to pay for the full amount of the trip. She was one of 20 people from Pennsylvania, and she was there during the historic moment when former President Nixon resigned. She said his address was piped into a general session, and “you could have heard a pin drop among the 2,000 people in the auditorium. They really took it seriously.” She said, “I’ll always remember where I was when the resignation came.” One of Susan’s favorite pastimes is working with yeast doughs. She particularly likes to make coffee cakes, but says she enjoys any kind of baking. She said, “My Mom influenced me, but 4-H taught me to want to try new recipes.” One of her favorite dairy recipes is a cherry o’ cream cheese pie, and her second favorite is cheese cake. Susan says she thinks dairying is an ideal career tor someone “with a lot of will power and determination. You must be willing to work.” Susan is obviously a young woman who is not afraid to work - whether it be milking cows or telling people about the virtues of dairy products. With her seemingly boun dless enthusiasm and energy, Berks County dairymen can be sure of getting their message across to the public as Susan begins her year as Dairy Princess.
