Weighing more than the egg scale could measure, the super jumbo egg, when cracked, revealed another egg inside, complete with shell. The egg came from a Shaver hen, approximately 30 weeks old. According to Jay Irwin, from the Lancaster County Extesnion Service, the egg was probably a result of a chicken jumping and its reaction. He noted that the probability of such an egg getting into a consumer’s home was very remote. r KELLER BROS* TR*ACTOR*CO* *’ 1 • VOUR COMPLETE TRACTOR & EQUIP.

Neal Knox, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, an nounced Sept. 1, that “only 7800 comments were received by the Treasury Department favoring the regulations, while over 337,300 individual protests were logged against the firearms regulation scheme.” “With all of the publicity given these regulations, and with literally thousands of editorials - mostly favoring the Administration’s proposals - urging citizens to make their views known, there can be no argument that this was a measure of the public feelings on the issue,” Knox said. NRA’s Knox said, “It is obvious that no matter what the Federal bureaucracy called this system, the idea of computer records being kept on an individual's private personal property at a cost to taxpayers in excess of $lOO million, just for openers, is totally repugnant to the American people.
