Denton praised
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Congressman Bob Walker
(R-16-PA) recently in
troduced a resolution in the
House of Representatives
highly praising the head of
all federal efforts during the
recent Three Mile Island
nuclear crisis, Dr. Harold
Denton.
“When the unexpected
nuclear crisis at Three Mile
Island occurred, the im
mediate result was massive
confusion, conflicting in
formation and a near total
disruption of the daily lives
{of area residents,” Walker
said.
“The arrival on-site of Dr.
Denton immediately im
proved the situation through

will be cleaned out in the
next month. We repeat the
suggestion that this material
be either injected into the
ground or incorporated with
die topsoil within a few days
after application. This will
not only preserve more
fertilizer elements but will
reduce odors and preserve
good public relations with
your neighbors. Discing,
chiseling, or plowing after
the waste application is
strongly recommended.
Farm manure has con
siderable fertilizer value
when applied into the soil
without much weathering.
We urge local farmers and
citizens to recognize this
organic fertilizer and utilize
it hilly.

Denton, who directs the
Nuclear Regulatory Com
mission’s Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation, was
dispatched to the Three Mile
Island facility by President
Carter on March 30. Since
his arrival he has taken
charge of all technical
procedures to bring the
nuclear reactor under
control as well as assumed
primary responsibility for
public information.
“My constituents and
many others were un
derstandably frightened and
anxious during the early
period of this crisis.
“Dr. Denton not only
farmers have been battling
weeds each year and the
struggle continues.
However, with every
planting we urge folks to
keep in mind the weed
control materials and
practices for that particular
crop. It will vary between
crops and stages of
maturity. The important
thing is to recognize the
great value of good weed
control and then make every
effort to get the job done.
Follow instructions as to
rate and time of application.
Most weeds are much easier
to kill when they are small.
For home gardens we
continue to feed that
mechanical cultivation is the
best. Many garden
vegetables are susceptible to y
weed sprays and will be
injured along with the
weeds. Don’t allow weeds to
reduce your yields this
Summer.
