Mrs. William Hamp,
Lancaster, and her sister,
Mrs. Walter Schilling,
Pipersville, were at Park
City with their children.
While the youngsters were
eagerly wanting to pet a
young calf on display, the
two mothers watched at
tentively and were drawn in
by what was going on around
them. They described the
happenings in the Mall with
one word - “wonderful.”
The bee display, which
was as much a crowd pleaser
as most anything the far
mers brought in, rated a
grade of “fantastic” from
Mrs. Hamp. /‘The children
are enjoying it too,” the
Lancaaster woman said,
adding in the same breath
that she would be coming
back later with other
members of the family so
that they don’t miss out.
“The farmers should do
this more often, this is
something that’s beneficial
to the whole country,” Mrs.
Hamp continued. “It lets us
be more aware of farmers
and the fact that we here in
Lancaster County are living
in an agricultural area.” She
speculated further that a lot
of people are “confused” as
to what really goes on down

others interviewed for this
particular story, Heam is
not a farmer and has no farm
background. “I think this is
wonderful and I find it most
interesting,” the retired

Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Logan
