maintaining every kind of
vehicle in sight.
Dudkewitz placed second

contest at the Maryland
State Fair, here, for two

An egg within an egg
At the Wilbur Erb farm, Mount Joy Rl, a rather
unusual egg was found this week. 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.

Gun control
opposed
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In
what the National Rifle
Association’s top lobbyist
called “a very clear national
referendum on gun control,”
the final totals of public
comment on the Carter
Administration’s proposed
“BATE firearms
regulations” show massive
public disapproval - by a 43
to one margin. 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. And
very clearly, to the
Congress, and to those
bureaucrats who asked for
this public comment, the
people have made their
views known.”
