—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Dae. 13. 1975 72 Lung Assoc, uses symbol for crusade The red double-barred cross will again join Christmas trees, stockings, holly wreaths, candles and nativity scenes as time honored symbols of the holiday season. It is the official emblem of the fight for healthy lungs in the United States. Adopted in this country in 1906, it was first associated with the movement to control tuberculosis, which was then America's number one killer. Today, as the insignia of the American Lung Association, the double-barred cross is a unifying mark for its more than 200 affiliated associations across the country, including Lancaster County Lung Association, as they conduct the annual Christmas Seal campaign to raise funds for the prevention and control of lung disease. The red double-barred cross is an essential iden tification sign on the Christmas Seals which decorate millions of letters, *Cowgirls , over the years and owns 500 acres out of the total 1,400 acres he farms. All of his land (owned or rented) is within 44 miles of the home place. The middle-aged dairyman continued to look for bigger and better things to come “I’ve always believed in looking ahead,” he stated confidently. His present goal is to milk 400 cows, “but I don’t think I’ll stop at that,” he added quickly. Although his cows are not on test, he estimates production figures would average out to about 450 pounds of butterfat per cow. “We’re not out for the 100-pound cow,” he continued, “and we turn over about a quarter of our herd each year we have a lot of first-calf heifers.” Miller’s biggest problem with the dairy operation are retained placentas. He reported no significant problems with milk fever or conception rates. Breeding has been taken care of by a bull for the past few years, although Jeff is trained in doing AI work. Depending heavily on the five Harvestores at the main farm. Miller’s feeding program includes high moisture com, haylage, corn silage, wheatlage, a 40 per cent non urea protein supplement, minerals, and salt. Two con crete stave silos round out the feed storage facilities at the mam farm. Claiming he saves $3,000 per year on milking costs with his present feeding system. Miller describes his program as being handy and practical for cutting comers. Cows are presently housed in a 274-stall freestall bam and a 120 addition is already on the way. When completed, Miller will have facilities for dividing his herd according to production, age, show string, hospitalization, mater nity, and other criteria. Strongly emphasizing the importance of the family farm, and using his own situation as an example of how it can work even on a big scale, Miller brushes any ideas of incorporating aside in short order. As far as he is con cerned the future of the dairy business is healthy, and keeping it all within one big family is one way of assuring profits and satisfaction for the years ahead.

Although the Seal designs change each year, the lung association symbol remains constant. Velma Hart, Executive Director of the Lancaster County Lung Association, said "The double-barred cross is now the emblem of a modern-day crusade against emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma as well as the still present but vastly reduced threat of TB. In addition, it symbolizes the lung associations efforts to reduce the dangers to the lungs from cigarette smoking and air pollution. The National Tuberculosis Association, as the American Lung Association once was known, adopted the double-barred cross as its official emblem at its second annual meeting on May 17, 1906, the year before the first Christmas Seal was used in the United States. However, the cross began to appear in a variety of styles and shapes, and no effort was made to standardize it until about six years later when a special committee was ap pointed for that purpose. The committee recommended to an annual meeting of the association in 1913 stan dardization of the cross in the form in which it is seen today. The current cross is characterized by equal cross-arms with pointed ends, placed at the upper half of the staff, which also has pointed ends. The reason given by the committee for favoring this form was that it was "furthest removed" from any religious significance and from the well-known emblem of the American National Red Cross. On November 23,1920, the double-barred cross was registered as a trademark DAIRY CONSIGNMENT SALE Our monthly consignment sale will be held at VALLEY STOCKYARDS.

Sometimes referred to as the “Cross of Lorraine," the double-barred cross of the Christmas Seals actually resembles more closely the Patriarchal Cross, also known as the Jerusalem Cross. The Patriarchal Cross has flat ends, and unequal double cross bars at the top of the staff, or standard. It was carried by the patriarchs of Jeruslaem and Constantinople. The crusades of the 11th through 14th centuries familiarized Europe with the double barred cross as seen on Greek churches of Asia Minor and Turkey. Godfrey de Bouillon, Duke of Lorraine, leader of the first crusade, adopted the double-barred cross as his Auctioneer .Announcements Clerks standard when he became ruler of Jerusalem in 1099. It became the emblem of the House of Lorraine in France, differing from the Patriarchal Cross in having the lower cross bar near the base.
