' Two seasoned youth
workers had a chance this
week to renew a ten-year
friendship that started in
Korea.
When Darvin Boyd left
Korea two years ago, he
stepped down from the post
of 4-H program director for
the American-Korean
Foundation. While he served
with the AKF, Boyd came to
know and respect Kyong Kon
Lim, a young man who grew
up on a South Korean rice
farm. Lim eventually
became Boyd’s understudy
for the program director’s
job, and when the Ephrata
RDI native returned home.

Long-range Prospects Goody But . . .
Near Term Poultry
Outlook Seen Bleak
by Dick Wanner
Poultrymen from all over
the Northeast met in
Philadelphia on Monday and
Tuesday to talk about the
state of their industry. It was
the 43rd annual convention of
the Northeastern Poultry
Producers Council (Nepp
co), which represents
poultry growers and allied
industrymen from Ohio east
and from Virginia north.
Predictions were the order
of the two-day session.
At Tuesday’s afternoon’s
outlook session - held, very
appropriately, in the Crystal
Ballroom of the Ben
Franklin Hotel - speakers
talked about the future of the
economy, feed costs, prices
for broilers, eggs add
turkeys, and the subject of
world foods needs.
Hugh Stokely, a senior vice
president and economist for
Philadelphia’s Girard Bank,
told the conventioneers that
we’re in a recession, not a
depression. “It’s crucial,”
he pointed out, “for the
public to have confidence
that Washington will not
permit the economy to slide
into depression. The
President’s program calls
for intervention at those
points where the pain is most
acute - the unemployed, the

dustry, and utilities.
Stokely said the move
toward easier credit that the
Federal Reserve is making
is not inflationary under
present circumstances. “A
cautious reliquification of
the banking system is
inescapable at this point. It
means that the recession will
cause fewer business
failures than it otherwise
would.”
“The test will come this
winter, when the banks feel
liquid again, but slower
business is holding down the

is up. In the 1970 slowdown,
Washington tried to get the
economy moving again by
stuffing reserves down the
banks’ throats. That made
recession the springboard
for reaccelerated inflation.”
“But the public will judge
the Administration’s success
in the anti-inflation fight not
tomorrow, but in 1976,” said
Stokely. “That gives policy a
longer-term orientation that
should rule out a repeat of
the 1970 mistake. Since that
mistake has been perceived,
it is unlikely to be repeated.”
Stokely was followed on
the dais by Bruno Tasch,
materials manager for
Agway, Inc., Syracuse, N.Y.
Tasch told the group that he
believes government actions
such as stopping foreign corn
and wheat sales, and prior
USDA approval for export
sales, is a form of export
control. Tasch feels these
moves should help to
