KUTZTOWN - Continuing
in a tradition of providing
excellent programs, the
Berks County Fanners’
Association Women’s
Committee held their annual
Ladies Day Out, March 20th
at the Kutztown Grange,
here. Highlighting this
year’s day long affair was
Reverend Charles Fair,
Pastor of Alsace Lutheran
Church, Reading.
“We all have problems
because we are alive,’’
stated Fair, “because we are
doing something.”
“We are living in an age of
changing times, a time of
ups and downs,” he ex
plained. Fair advised the
many women present, ap
proximately 160,' that he
couldn’t teach anyone how to
solve their problems but did
have a suggestion on bow to
handle them.
You have to first recognize
the problem, he told the
farm women. “Then,” he
continued, “borrow a for
mula Jesus used to handle
his problems.” The for
mula, the speaker continued
was as follows; first
analysis, then organize,
spiritualize, deputize, and
economize. “No matter what
type of problem it may be,
this formula can help to
handle it,” he assured the
listeners.
Explaining, Fair
elaborated on the five steps,
using a biblical story in
which Jesus fed thousands
of hungry people with three
fish and five loaves of bread
to illustrate. Jesus
recognized the problem,
analysised his resources,
organized his disciples

prayed to his Father, and he
economized by having just
enough left over to feed the
disciples, leaving no waste,
Fair explained.
Many times a person has
to take a good look at himself
to find the real root of the
problem. Fair continued. In
nailing down the problem
you are recognizing it. Then
take note of the assets and
liabilities or advantages and
disadvantages, be advised,
this is organizing.
The Reverend* continued
by telling his attentive
audience to pray and say
Grace. “America should be
more of a prayerground, not
a playground,” he em
phasized.
■ Fair also told the women
to distribute the chores, “We
are an interelated society,”
he said. “We are all in it
together.” And in con
cluding he stressed the need
to economize. This included
making the best use of your
time as well as resources.
Sometimes it’s all in the way
you look at things, he added,
“is the glass half full or half
empty?”
Also addressing the
women were three high
school students who have
been involved in many 4-H
and/or FFA activities. The
students were Darlene
Dietrich, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Dietrich,
Hamburg Rl; Nancy Lat
shaw, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Latshaw, Rl
Alburtis; and David
Dietrich, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Clifford Dietrich, Lenhart
sville Rl. They briefly told
how privileged they have
been to be a part of the many
activities and organizations
they are members of.
Darlene, a member of the
Berks County
Hamburg FFA for, two years
and 4-H for eight years,
related how she has won and
lost in many of-the com
petitions she has entered.
“It’s not only the winner that
wins,” she said of her per
sonal experiences, “ but the
loser who has gained
knowledge and hopes to try
again.”
Nancy is , a senior at
Brandywine High School and
has been in 4-H for eight
years. She is a member of

years. This young lady
stated that she feels growing
up is best on a farm but it
should also be spread to city
folks that fanning is not all
roses. “There are always a
few thorns among them,”
she explained.
David also said it was a
privilege to grow up on a
farm, to work closely with
livestock, produce, and God.

This young man, a
