1975 - Women’s Year
. v Ill'll .'lll,l|'|>.
uovcrnor oi the com
monwealth of Pennsylvania,
do hereby proclaim the year
1975 as INTERNATIONAL
WOMEN’S YEAR in tribute
to the major role women
have played in the two
hundred years of American
history and the efforts they
will continue to make toward
the economic growth,
political effectiveness, social
progress and educational
development of this Com
monwealth. ... 1 urge that
both men and women of
Pennsylvania join together
to do all in their power with
practical and constructive
measures to make 1975 an
outstanding year for the
advancement of the status Of
women in Pennsylvania.”
With these words of
tribute, Governor Milton J.
Shapp launched In
ternational Women’s Year in
Pennsylvania as it has been
proclaimed nationally by the
president and in
ternationally by the General
Assembly of the United
Nations.
Launching day, ap
propriately named “Amelia
Earhart Day,” is January
11, the day on which that
dauntless woman pioneered
the first non-stop flight from
Hawaii to the mainland.
Her courage, vision,
perserverance and
dedication to a non
conventional career sym
bolize many of the qualities
associated with In
ternational Women’s Year.
Expectations are high that
1975 will be a year in which
women of all nations join
together to examine and
analyze their problems of the
past and their mutual hopes
for future progress. Some
areas of greatest concern
will certainly include:
equality in law; economic
rights; family respon
sibilities; decision making at
all political levels and access
to health care.

Don’t hesitate to apply lime, even if the ground
is frozen. The freezing and thawing action of
Winter helps disseminate the lime, assuring you
a properly balanced soil, ready for Spring
plowing. And remember, liming pays in extra
bushels and tons of crops and forage.

activities planned for the

from the frivolous to the
solemn, including parades
and sporting events as well
as an appraisal of women's
current place in business and
government.

Snack time may be
anytime. In today’s fast
paced society, often snack
time is the common food
denominator of the day. The
scheduled three planned
meals of yester year is
loosing ground to more
frequent and smaller mmi
meals.
Along these lines, the
thoughts of proper food in
take is still important. The
question is how to get the
required foods into the diet
and still have light quick
snack tunes. In other words,
snack time should be
nutrition time, too.
One answer to the
nutritious snack dilemma
lies m proper planning and in
one of Virginia’s finest
agricultural food products.
Consider, if you will,
peanuts. Peanuts come in
many forms and may be
used in interesting ways.
Peanuts are, of course, a
great “eat out of hand” food.
They may also be in
corporated and become the
mam ingredient in soups and
salads. Or, dress up
vegetable dishes with a
sprinkling of crushed
peanuts, (hie real fun idea is
a dip which may be used as a
quick snack food. Simply
make a recipe of the dip;
store in the refrigerator, if
keeping for several days.

include: placement of
women on Boards and
Commissions within State
government: review of the
laws of the Commonwealth
under Pennsylvania's Equal
Rights Amendment, with
revision and-or recession

finally, exerting all possible
effort towards passage of the

lunches. Simply spoon a
quantity into a small covered
container, include fresh
apple slices which have been
sliced into a little salt water
or sprinkled with any citrus
juice (lemon, orange, or
grapefruit). Be sure to leave
the peel on the apple for a
little extra nutrition. Also,
pack separately from the
dip.
One good peanutty dip
follows. It’s called Creamy
Peanut Dip for Apples, but
this one may be used with
other fruits, too.

Vegetable Competition
, Lancaster Countians
managed to latch onto half
the celery awards at this
year’s Farm Show, and
nearly half the awards in
squash competition. But
other than that, it was Bucks
County nearly all the way.
Bucks County growers hud
the best farmers display,
best growers collection and
best county exhibit in
vegetable competition. They
also dominated virtually
every other category except
for mushrooms, where the
Chester Countians quite
predictably won everything.

Brubaker, both of Ephrata
Rl, brought home prizes for
their beets, cabbages,
radishes, turnips, onions,
pumpkins, salsify and
squash. Amos and 'Fred
Funk, Millersville Rl were
the celery growers who gave
the Bucks Countians a run
for their money.
Other Lancaster County
vegetable men who placed in
the competition were Jay
Long, Lititz Rl, for onions,
and Roy B. Mull, Lititz R 4,
for pumpkins and squash.
Maynard Hess, Stewart
stown R 2, York County,
dominated the open classes
in potato judging with first
place ribbons in four dif
ferent varieties: Katahdin,
Kennebec, Superior and
Norland. His Kennebec
display was the best of the
open classes.
