S2-UfK»t>f Farming, Saturday, Stpttmbr 13. 1975 • Ida's [ Moteb° ok ***“ —" ■ • This Is the lime of year when many a mother goes about her work with a “lump in her throat.” Whcalhcr it Is a first child getting on the school bus or the last child going off to college. There is always an adjustment to make. How well I remember my first child skipping off to the bus without even one back ward glance to me as I stood with tears in my eyes. And then when that same child went off to another state to attend college, I thought I couldn’t clean her room because of the memories. But somehow we live through all the departures and this week two left for college on the same day which was hard to take. Guess we just better enjoy the ones we have left at home while we can. Last week I had an op portunity to see that I’m not Fulton Grange meets A recent meeting of Fulton Grange was opened by Master Donald Trimble. A resolution was read in memory of Mrs. Anna Boyce Kelly. It was voted to donate money toward a tent for the Boy Scout troop that is sponsored by the Grange. Mrs. Laura McSparren reported that she has ap plications for the Fifth Degree. All interested should contact her. The Fifth Degree is being given in Chester County on October 11 and at State Grange in Lancaster on Wednesday, October 29. Names were suggested for 1975-76 of ficers. NEW HOLLAND FARMERS FAIR OCT.

Many of the plots in the Lancaster County Park have been overrun by grasses, red root, lambs quarter and many other weeds. A few were well tended and I’m sure all the gardeners learned a lot if only how muck work a garden takes. Why I almost lost a basket of sweetcom is my grassy patch!. Labor Day weekend the children made a freezer of ice cream and someone get a camera out to record the event. I’m wondering how this picture, taken on the new cement porch with its brick facing, will compare to one taken years ago. As I remember, Allen was tur ning the freezer with a baby on his knee and some of the boards were broken and unpainted. Times are better. Lecturer Mrs. Joyce Holloway opened the program with represen tatives John Rasmussen from the Wakefield Am bulance Association and Neal Johnson from the Wakefield Lions Club speaking on the functions of their organizations. Two relays were played, and Norman Wood took home half a watermelon after guessing its correct weight. NUMBER OF FARMS Continuing a downward trend that started in 1936 the number of farms in the United States was down about one percent >n 1973 to 2 84 million m Need an Electric Water Inter Replacement? Ufsttww IWWffiSBK WELL INSULATED TO SAVE ENERGY Read Lancaster Farming for all me news. LOW WATTAGE Not all electric water heaters are the same Some use more electricity than others Why 7 Mainly because they come in different types and sizes. Take an 80-gallon low-wattage tank for example Who would ever believe that each year it can operate on less electricity than the smaller quick recovery type most commonly used It’s true 1 And the better the tank is insulated and the lower the temperature setting, the more economical it will be. What's more, while it reheats water at a slower rate, its larger size can deliver all the hot water your family will normally need It's something to think about at replacement time. After all, because water heaters serve the whole family, 24 hours a day all year round, they are big energy users Why are we telling you all this? To help hold electricity use down We don't sell electric water heaters it's just that if you have one that needs replace ment, an 80-gallon, low-wattage tank would be a good choice for you l j p-*—*l, An Energy Saving Message From PP&L $> V*,r<*,*r*4 bo-gallon CAPACITY -
