He further commented that there were many good junior Farmers donate [Continued from Page 1] desperate need for lime kept running through his mind. Early Sunday morning, through the efforts of Curtis Thompson, a truckload of 9% tons of hydrated lime was loaded onto a truck donated by Marlin Flaharty, Service Feed and Supply Co., of Delta, and rushed to the flood site. Thompson and Flaharty, accompanied by Dale Stewart, Delta Rl, delivered the donated lime through arrangements by Union Lutheran Church, York, center for volunteer relief efforts in York County. They were cleared ahead of time by Civil Defense and directed to the Calvary Lutheran Church in John stown. An Army detachment of 600 men from the Wilkes- Barre area was in the stricken city for cleanup efforts. The military per sonnel immediately began unloading the lime-laden truck and transferring the materials to military vehicles, which then moved it into nearby areas when it was most needed. “They wouldn’t even let us help unload it,” marvelled Flaharty. Other cleanup tools, such as buckets, boots, shovels and gloves went to the church for distribution to personnel working from that relief center. “Actually, the load is only showmen who knew how to show their pigs and would be hard to beat in the future. The animals, he believed, were excellent in quality throughout the classes. In the fitting and showmanship contests, the junior winner was Michelle Dean, Strasburg, an 11 year old first year member of a pig club. Senior winner was Bernadine Gish, Elizabethtown, who has won the county fitting contest five times. She is a 17 year old member of* the Elizabethtown *Pig and Rabbit Club. ' Complete results of the show follow: about half paid for,” Flaharty admitted. Thompson, Stewart and other area dairy farmers from Delta, as well as the Cardiff and Whiteford, Maryland, sections, set up an impromptu telephone grid last weekend to gather monetary donations and support toward funding the shipment. “Donated by Dairymen of York County” was noted on some of the bags of lime carried by the truck on its mission of mercy. Upon the delivery and visit to the Johnstown disaster site, the dairymen resolved to continue support of the efforts to send lime and other cleanup articles needed. A fund has been established, headed by Thompson, to supply flood relief materials to as great an extent as donations will allow. “We’ve made no com mitments, but we’d sure like to continue what’s been started,” added Flaharty. “We decided from the start to send that first load, even if we had to foot the bill our selves.” Anyone interested in participating in the relief efforts begun by the dairy farmers may contact Thompson at 717-456-5863, or Marlin Flaharty at 717456- 7346 or 717456-7433.
