—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 23, 1977 112 Shelhamer urges home weatherization HARRISBURG - Penn sylvania’s Secretary of Agriculture Kent L>. Shelhamer is urging Penn sylvania fanners to take advantage of their eligibility for rural home weatherization loans, to help cut energy costs in the face of a colder climate and unpredictable winters. “Our farmers have seen first hand that a harsh winter such as this year can eat up annual profits in feed, fertilizer and energy costs,” Shelhamer said. “Home weatherization is one way to cut energy use and allow resources to be spent on other needs.” Shelhamer said the program is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Farmers Home Administration, and administered by the nation’s Red Lion Grange : hosts 3 RED LION, Pa. - The third in a series of Grange visitation nite programs, under the direction of York- Adams Pomona Grange No. 40, was held on April 16, at the regular meeting of the Red Lion Grange, with Fawn Grove presenting the program. The Pa. State Grange theme is “Nature, Don’t Take it For Granted”. Fawn Grove used “Birds and Their Habitat” as related to the theme. Seventy-two members attended the meeting, with three Granges represented. There were nine from Gideon Grange, Hanover; 24 from Fawn Grove, and 39 from Red Lion Grange. The program consisted of songs, poems, readings and a discussion by all, on “how to attract birds.” A presentation of the habits and sizes of birds was made by Esther Richardson, with the help of several members.

The weatherization program would provide a five year, eight per cent weatherization loan of about $5OO each to families of low and moderate income served by the rural electric cooperatives. The loan would then be repaid in small monthly payments added to the monthly electric bill. “This program can mean a lot to our rural com munities,” Shelhamer said. “We know from our own experiences in Pennsylvania that not only does this kind of program help low and middle income families reduce their heating bills, but the weatherization will ultimately conserve sub stantial amounts of energy. “In addition, the program groups be May 7, with the meeting time being changed to 8 p.m. “A Mother’s Day” program is planned.
