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 :

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 next regular meeting
of the Red Lion Grange will
Rural Electrification
Association cooperatives on
a voluntary basis.
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.
The next grange visitation
nite will be at Fawn Grove,
with Gideon Grange
presenting the program, on
May 16, at 8 p.m. The
Pomona lecturer, Gladys
Shelter, has set a goal of 90
for attendance.
Other planned meetings of
interest to Vork-Adams
County Grange members are
the following open meetings:
April 26, at Washington
Grange, Kralltown; May 7,
at Biglerville Grange; May
13, at Gideon Grange. York-'
Adams Pomona Grange will
be May 14, beginning at 2
p.m., at Valley Grange,
Lewisberry. Election of
officers will be held during
the evening session. Judging
of the dress sewing contest

the direction of Dorothy
Reichart, women’s activity
director.
would help employment by
creating jobs for installation
and would stimulate the
economy at large by building
up demand for weather
ization materials,”
Shelhamer noted.
The .Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture
administers a pilot project
called the Rural Housing
-Rehabilitation Program,
which in two years has
resulted in improvements in
295 homes in the Juniata,
Mifflin and Snyder County
area. The project is funded
by the Federal Com
prehensive Employment and
Training Act of 1973.
“As a result of the Rural
Housing Rehabilitation
Program,” Shelhamer said,
