such changes follows recent
scandals in inspection of
grains being exported out of
the United States, the
Comnutee also plans to look
into methods of handling and
inspecting grams at interior
or inland terminals.
“This is a matter of much
concern to the Committee,”
said Chairman Foley
“Disclosure of irregular
activities at ports where
American grains were being
loaded abroad ships
threatens the credibility of
the United States as the
World’s largest exporter of
agricultural commodities.
We are also concerned about
the effectiveness and
reliability of the present
inspection system and
weighing procedures from
the farm to interior and
export terminal points.”
Chairman Foley, along
with Senator Hubert H.
Humphrey, D.-Minn., head
of a Senate Agriculture and
Forestry Subcommittee on
Foreign Agriculture Policy,
recently asked the General
Accounting Office to make
an in-depth study of
irregularities which were
reported in grain inspection
at New Orleans and other
points. They noted that the
U S. last year exported $22
billion of agricultural
products, of which $12.5
billion was in gram, and that
but for these shipments the
U.S. trade deficit of $5.8
billion would have been far
worse. The lawmakers asked
for a final report back from
the GAO by February 15,
1976.

community performance at

This group of young people
from the hill country of
Tennessee have preserved
the traditional mountain

so much a part of Ap

clog shoes and country
costumes, the dance group
presents a colorful, fast
moving glimpse of
America’s mountain culture.
They are being sponsored in
Lancaster by Sperry New
Holland in a free public
performance.
Formerly known as the
Rutherford County Square
Dancers, they have per
formed throughout the U.S.,
Canada, and Mexico and
have represented the US.
Government in Rumania.
They have appeared on
television with both Dinah
Shore and Dean Martin and
have performed with Nancy
Sinatra at Lake Tahoe,
Nevada.
Depicting the traditional
peasant dances and games of
the Appalachain region, they
sing and play “Old Dan
Tucker,” “Skip To My Lou,”
and the “Pawpaw Patch”
while clog dancing to old
fiddle tunes like “Flopeared
Mule,” “Bile Dem Cabbages
Down,” and “Old Joe
Clark.”
