April 7 to be
Pa. ‘Food Day’
HARRISBURG - The
Commonwealth’s leadership
in agriculture will be
stressed at the Pennsylvania
Food Day Panorama, a full
day of workshops and
speeches scheduled for April
7 at the Penn Harris Motor
Inn, Camp Hill.
Gov. Milton J. Shapp,
expected to address the
session, has proclaimed the
Food Day observance as a
‘ ‘day to act on the world food
crisis.”
National Food Day, to be
observed the following day,
in recent years has focused
on the problems of matching
food production and
distribution with the
geometrical growth rate of
the world’s population.
The observance in the
Commonwealth, according
to the Governor’s
proclamation, will stress
Pennsylvania’s status “as a
keystone to our nation’s
agricultural heritage and
leadership.’’ An important
point to realize, according to
the proclamation, is “that no
one segment of agriculture •
food production, marketing
and distribution, and con
sumer education and
outreach - can live alone.’’
This triple theme will be
reflected in three distinct
exhibit and workshop areas
that will be set up in the Penn
Harris Motel’s convention
room. The observance will
begin at 10 a.m., with
speakers to be featured at
the opening session, the
luncheon session and at the
banquet beginning at 6 p.m.
Agriculture Secretary
Raymond J. Kerstetter and
Dr. Thomas King, associate
dean of Penn State’s College
of Agriculture, will welcome
the gathering at the morning
session. Mrs. Patricia
Young, chairperson of the
National Council of Churches
Crusade Against Hunger,
will deliver the charge to the
conference.
The luncheon session will
have as featured speaker
Donald Kimmel, the North
American representative of
