—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 16. 1977 108 Barleys review (Continued from Pace 106] several newspapers. Big bold headlines were blazoned across front pages. Detailed reporting told of the happenings. The controversy became the subject of editorials and even editorial cartoons. For weeks, the main topic of Letters to the Editor Lancaster Fanning and to the Lancaster newspapers, was the Barley farm controversy. They arrived at the Lancaster Newspapers by the handful. Almost all gave support to the Barleys and urged LARA to reconsider its plans. The mayor of Lancaster, Richard Scott, and Penn sylvania’s Secretary of Agriculture, Kent Shelhamer, became involved in the case. Most closely connected, but generally silent, were the county commissioners, who had the authority to scratch LARA’s plans. But it took the will of the people to change the Refuse Authority's mind. That will included 10,500 signatures on petitions, a letter-writing campaign to the county commissioners, and a visit by the State House Agriculture Committee to the Barley farm, among other things. Individuals and various groups showed their support in whatever way they could. “We couldn’t keep track of what so many people did,” offered Abe.

PA 17011 (717)737-0551 and the Merryman, Co., Sparks, MD 21152 1301)771-4624 families have compiled two scrap books full of memorabilia which is pertinent to their struggle with “city hall.” Included are scores of newspaper clippings, church bulletins, letters, and program an nouncements. The ordeal has demon strated to the Barley families that “there are still a lot of people who have good sense.” “For anyone who has this kind of a problem, it is im portant to get public support - make an appeal for good common sense,” John ad vises. “I just couldn’t believe that if we got this story to the people, they wouldn’t see through it,” the dairyman acknowledged. He stresses it is important to have con- fidence in such a dilemma, and to see the fight through to the finish. “You just can’t 'go half-way through with it and then say the heck with it,” Abe added. “It’s something which is going to have to take time and such such a fight requires top priority,” John continued. Both men spent much of their time away from the farm and at meetings during those hectic weeks and confirm that it’s necessary if a complete effort is going to be made. The Barleys are grateful for the support they received, and they’re also willing to give a helping hand to those who may be faced with similar situations. But they hope that a situation such as they faced won’t come up again - for them or anyone else.
