To his surprise, he sold them all, and he believes he could have sold another 25 bushels besides. “By comparison,” he con tinued, “back home I only sell a couple of baskets.” Another advantage he cites after his experience here this year is that he’ll know what to plant next year. Leroy Pfautz of Stevens R 1 believes the market was a success but it has really slowed down since Hurricane Eloise came through the area last month. People apparently realize that the growing season has ended and are coming in fewer and fewer numbers. Consequently, many of the farmers have left and those who return come with less to sell than they had several weeks ago. To counteract the dwindling supply of fresh vegetables, Pfautz brings such items as woven baskets to the market Marketing 15 to 20 per cent of his produce in Harrisburg, Pfautz concludes that the market is worthwhile for him because it’s only a two days-a-week market. His stand at home operates six days a week The Lancaster County vegetable grower has Pfautz claimed he sold much of his produce cheaper here at the Farm Show parking lot than he did at home The simple ex planation for that is that there was a competitive factor to reckon with here, while that was not so noticeable at home. “We were selling corn and tomatoes at wholesale prices here,” he admitted, “but at least we moved a big volume.” The market is described as “so far so good” by the Labenberg Brothers of Zion Grove, in northern Schuylkill County. Participants since the market opened, the brothers intend to come back again next year in spite of several disappointments. Drawing on vegetables grown on their 25-acre farm, the brothers marketed about half of their produce here and the balance at a roadside stand at their farm. The finding was that some of their vegetables move faster in Harrisburg than back in rural Schuylkill County. “Others don’t move so fast, however,” Labenberg added quickly. As far as Labenberg is concerned, the market can be improved upon through better management. “It wasn’t organized well enough,” he said scratching his head, “but don’t ask me to explain that.” Youths can hunt - must be with adult Lewisburg Grange meets Welfare reform legislation recipients be required to that would provide programs accept gainful employment and services “for the benefit when it is available and of those persons who are in offered to them in order to need of assistance,” has remain eligible for continued been recommended in a welfare payments.” resolution adopted by Valley It also recommends that Grange of Lewisberry. “voluntary termination or The resolution, which has interruption of employment been forwarded to the shall not be acceptable Pennsylvania State Grange grounds for welfare for its consideration at the assistance.” annual convention in Lan- In adopting the resolution, caster Oct. 27-30, also urges Valley Grange pointed out that “employable welfare that the original intent of the welfare program in the Labenberg believes the United States was to assist market was a success, and persons in need.

The new provision will also take care of cases where the parents may be separated or divorced, where a parent may be deceased, etc. Those active in the “Big Brother" plan and similar programs will find the change in the law helpful in carrying out wholesome outdoor activities with their young charges.
