Thornburgh
(Continued from Page 10)
chatted with farmers. While the
governor-elect admitted that he has
little knowledge of agriculture, he
demonstrated an interest and
willingness to listen. That’s im
portant and encouraging.
While Thornburgh included the
agricultural community in his
campaign, his Democratic opponent
Peter Flaherty virtually ignored
farmers. He failed to establish
contact with agricultural leaders and
the farm press. Not once did an
announcement arrive about his
wanting to meet with either farm
paper editors or agricultural leaders
of the community. The closest he
came to that was a publicity stunt
during the Pennsylvania All-
American Dairy Show where he took
time to try his hand at squeezing milk
out of a cow. Apparently, that wasn’t
enough to convince Pennsylvania
farmers and a lot of other people that
he would make a good governor.
While no miracles can be expected
of the incoming Thornburgh ad
ministration, it’s good to know that a
tough-minded corruption-fighter will
be taking the reins of our state
government. He has a tough job
ahead of him, and a lot of cleaning up
to do, thanks to the activities of the
outgoing administration.
We wish Governor Thornburgh
well as he prepares to lead Penn
sylvania to more respectable levels.
If my recollections are correct, the
weather during or shortly after the
election in 1970 was dreary, cold,
and wet. This year, as we all surely
have noticed, the weather has been
absolutely super. We're experiencing
September temperatures and lots of
sunshine.
When you treat bloody scours
(swine dysentery), you’re only
fighting part of the problem
Bloody scours is a cyclic disease Treatment with Lincomix®
(lincomycm) will disrupt the cycle and bring it under control
But once treatment stops, bloody scours can, and often does,
break out again even among animals you thought had recovered
Protect against bloody scours all the way to market
with Lincomix.
For effective control of bloody scours all the way to market, start
your herd on Lincomix at the first signs of the disease The
treatment level is 100 grams of lincomycm per ton of feed After
three weeks at this level, or following disappearance of symptoms,
continue medication at 40 grams lincomycm per ton of feed
up to six days before slaughter
And on those farms with a history of bloody scours, feed 40
grams lincomycm per ton of feed to keep outbreaks from
recurring, even though symptoms are not apparent
See us today Lincomix belongs m your hog rations l

treatment and control of bloody scours from start to finish.
Look for Uncomycin on the feed tig at the following dealers:

Richard Thornburgh
Elected Governor
As it turned out, the political
climate of the Shapp Administration
foil wed the pattern set by the clouds
and ram that gathered in early
November of 1970.
Now we hope that the pleasant
Autumn weather is an indication of
the kind of politics that will be coming
out of Harrisburg during the next few
years, at least.
The man who spearheaded
Thornburgh’s campaign in Penn
sylvania’s farmland was Penrose

candidate to become the next

America
(Continued from Page 10)
Statue of Liberty, which is, I’m sure,
a landmark which every foreign
visitor to New York looks for
Just outside the pier, “parked" in
severely polluted waters, was the
S.S. United States, a beautiful ocean
liner which was the pride of America
The luxurious and beautiful vessel
also symobized what we, as im
migrants, expected of America. She
was great, beaut'ful, luxurious and of
course, big.
All that happened 23 years ago
today when the Kneg family arrived
in America
1 mention it in this column because
of the significant changes which have
come about since then. I can most
vividly remember, for example,
fingering a dollar bill, a half-dollar, a
quarter, and a dime. American
money was then the world’s
strongest and most sought-after
currency.
Back then it took four German
marks to have one dollar. Today it
takes just two marks to have one
dollar. What has happened is that
neither the American economy or the
dollar are as strong as what they
used to be.
That’s unfortunate.
The farmer isn’t to blame,
however. Rather, he is to be com
mended for supporting what's left of
this country’s greatness - both in
economic as well as social terms.
The farmer respects God and
works closely with His creations. He
upholds moral integrity, whereas
these same principles are being
attacked by others. We all suffer as a
result.
The farmer works hard, whereas
many of our labor unions have fought
for less labor and more pay. They
have had something to do with our
sliding values.

The farmer believes in working to
earn one’s keep, while many
government leaders push for welfare
programs of all sorts. This has hurt
us too.
The farmer has always strived for
efficiency, while many workers in
other professions have neglected to
do the same. The result is that the
farmer produces enough to feed not
only this country, but much of the
rest of the world as well. Meanwhile,
however, virtually every other in
dustry has failed to match the far
mer’s record. Go to any store and
sample the merchandise. You’ll see
lables which say: Made in Japan,
Made in Korea, Made in Germany,
Made in Taiwan, Made in Mexico,
Made in France, etc. etc. American
manufacturers are hard-pressed to
produce for Americans, let alone for
the rest of the world as well.
Government hasn’t done much
either to hold up this nation’s values
and pride. Government spending
fuels inflation because too few people
in Washington know the difference
between black and red ink. Many
government regulations stifle our
abilities to produce.
All things considered, is it any
wonder that our values and
productivity have declined 7
Questions which need to be asked
include: Is there any such thing as
national pride left in America? Do we
have national goals 7 Will the com
bined efforts of labor unions and
welfare-minded politicians continue
to chisel away at American
productivity?
Unfortunately, American
agriculture is one of the very few
areas within our society - which
upholds all of the values which our
forefathers fought for
We can only hope that the farmer's
voice and efforts will become
stronger and more influential.
